Comfortable gym, has all the equipment I could ever need, never too busy and affordable for the family. The owner is very knowledgeable, deeply involved in the gym and local.

This is the best gym Ive ever belonged to. Granted, its the only gym Ive ever belonged to but I dont think that makes any difference. Supporting a small business was one of the important things to me when looking for a gym and this is a local gem of a gym. You really get your moneys worth with this place. They are super attentive and helpful and clearly have your best interest in mind. Vibe was the other important thing for me. Having never belonged to a gym, and being both out of shape and uncomfortable working out in front of others, this place immediately put me at ease. I never feel judged, not even for my horrific dancing skill in Zumba class. If youre tired of being out of shape but intimidated by the idea of a gym, this this is the one for you

I just attended a class here tonight for the first time and it was a great experience! The dance studio is huge and has amazing floor to ceiling windows. The staff is friendly and made sure we felt accommodated while attending the class upstairs. If you’re looking for a smaller gym that feels more like a family, this is your spot. Did I mention they have all the essentials for equipment and they’re locally owned?? I’m looking forward to future classes!

Vicki is so great and has such an amazing attitude! Working out is not always fun, but she always has a smile and knows the right thing to say to keep you encouraged.

I really enjoy being part of the Positively Fit family. They are close to my home and I am able to get in and out to fit my schedule. I recently joined and also started the group training seasons. It really does feel like family. You will also have a team to support you, motivate you, and see you to your goals!!! They are also well knowledgeable and can work with you on making adjustments for any injuries or health concerns as needed to ensure you reach you goals. I highly recommend Positively Fit not only as a gym and fitness team but also if you appreciate the member family atmosphere that is created.

I am so grateful to have found Positively Fit. I was looking for a small group personal training to further my workout goals. Vicki was very professional and welcoming in her email and offered for me to try a few classes before committing. I knew after the 1st class that I had found my fit family. The workouts are different everyday and never get boring. I am so happy to have Vicki, Missy and Casey in my corner to continually encourage and push me. I promise if you try it you will love it like I do!!!

This place is awesome! If you are looking for a place to get physically fit, healthier, feel better about yourself and have fun doing it, Positively Fit is definitely the place! This isnt a gym full of Barbies and body builders. It is a gym full of down to earth people who take their health seriously and help motivate everyone around them. Vicki and Missy are great instructors who have your best interest at heart and make you feel like youre one of the family. I didnt think I would ever see the day I would look forward to going to the gym. The only regret I have... is waiting so long to join! Thank you everyone at Positively Fit for making working out enjoyable & fulfilling, not just the instructors but my workout buddies also!

Awesome atmosphere and very friendly staff and members. Everyone there makes you feel very motivated and part of the team. I hired Vicki Layton for personal training sessions for health reasons and overall strengthening. She pushes me to achieve goals I never would have accomplished on my own while keeping my safety as her top priority. Highly recommend!!!!!!

I love this gym! It is close to my office so I can come before, during, or after work. It has a friendly, family feel, and the variety of membership options are affordable. I have done personal training, small group training, and classes, and Coach Vicki never disappoints.

Started going to this gym about 6 months ago. What a great place to work out -- friendly atmosphere, supportive staff -- cant say enough about Vicki and Dixie - excellent trainers, patient, knowledgeable, great energy and attention. Tried the Yoga class, really, really helped with relaxation after a workout. Highly recommend!

I started at this gym a few months ago and I love it. Everyone is super encouraging and Vickie (the owner) personally called me and walked me through the gym herself. If you are looking for a gym home, this is a great place to join!

It the best gym I have personally been in. You will be treated like family in a very friendly atmosphere. If you dont like noisy workouts but do like smiling faces addressing you by name give Positively Fit a try.

I absolutely love Positively Fit! I love people, but at heart I am an introvert. This gym is very personable and you get to know everyone from the staff to the fellow gym-goers. As a result, I dont feel like Im going to a gym with a roomful of strangers. The place is very non-judgmental and comfortable, and everyone of every experience level and size will feel comfortable here-- no worrying about being judged by Arnold pumping iron in the corner (though Arnold would be welcome, too!). Their classes are great and they have the equipment you need. Check it out! I highly recommend Positively Fit and cant wait for my next workout, even though I am not a naturally athletic person.

This gym has changed my life! I moved here a year ago not knowing anyone, and the moment I walked in, felt as though I had found a true home. I do PT with Steph who is dynamic. She is very knowledgeable and so encouraging. Without her, I wouldnt be the healthiest I have ever been in my whole life! She goes above and beyond, too, checking in with me when I dont have appointments and lifting me up when I struggle. I consider it a blessing to have found her and this place and wish I could give it way more than 5 stars. The facilities are also very clean and organized with great parking!

Great atmosphere! The name fits. The staff is very attentive and positive. Because of its smaller size there is a great sense of community. I love the variety of classes and that the instructors make you feel comfortable regardless of your skill level.

Positively Fit is perfectly located within walking distance to my office. There are no long term contracts and the monthly fee is very reasonable. The gym has all of the cardio and weight lifting equipment need to provide a great workout. It is also very clean. The personal training is very affordable. I train with Vickie, the gyms owner, who has customized a training plan for me that accommodates my special needs post surgery and PT. When I started training with her I could barely lift my arm - after five months I can bench press 40 lbs.!

I absolutely love Positively Fit. I started with Stephanie after my friend Rebecca recommended her. Stephanie is truly an inspiration and an amazing soul. She is so positive and motivating that its hard to have a bad day; I look forward to seeing her after work. I work out with her 3 times a week and can 100% see results. I highly recommend this gym and Stephanie as a personal trainer.

I love this gym! Everyone knows you by name. Instead of going to a gym and just doing my own thing, I get to interact with fun people who all have the same goals! The zumba class is amazing and one of the best workouts ever.

I have been a member of Positively Fit for over a year now and I think its the best kept secret in town! While all my friends complain about their gyms being crowded, smelly and unwelcoming, I get to enjoy friendly knowledgable staff that really care about your needs in the gym. I have gone to both group classes and personal training on a regular basis and I love it!The classes are small and personal and the personal trainers pay attention to you and never walk away to text on their phone or do something else. They really care about good form and injury prevention.Im not the most fit person in the world, but I have seen so much progress in myself and that never would have happened without my Positively Fit Family behind me!

I can’t say enough about Vicki Layton as a personal trainer and Positively Fit as a gym! It is a wonderful atmosphere with no pressure and all the equipment and guidance you could ever need. I worked out here before I moved to NC four years ago. Last month I had to come down to Mayo for treatment and found out I was here for a month. I called Vicki and asked if she had time for me. I was extremely out of shape and having trouble getting up and down or doing any activity. With my medical issues I need someone who really understands the body and how to work around physical limitations. Vicki is that person! In a little less than a month I am able to get off the floor without help, my cardio is so much better, without dieting I’ve lost over an inch around my hips and dropped my body fat percentage! I’m still struggling with my health, but I feel so much stronger and more confident!!! Sadly I go back home tomorrow so can’t visit Positively Fit anymore, but Vicki has agreed to do training sessions through the internet to keep me on track! Yay!!!

My experience at Positively Fit has been life changing! I recently became a certified Zumba instructor and heard about an amazing instructor who taught at Positively Fit. At the time, I was in search of a new gym where I could take Zumba and enhance my skills, so this discovery was perfect. I couldn’t wait to attend my first class and meet the famous Yolanda. I came to the gym to attend a Tuesday class. Upon arrival, I was greeted by Vicki, the owner. Not only was I given a tour of the gym, but I was treated with such warmth and friendliness that I felt like I was talking to an old friend. As Vicki continued to tell me about the services, she mentioned that Yolanda was out, and a sub was teaching that evening. I must admit I was a little dismayed because I had heard such good things. But Vicki assured me that the sub was awesome and I would enjoy the class. Vicki also told me I could use the gym for the rest of the week complimentary, and that really impressed me. So, I went to Zumba class and the rest is history...Not only was that class amazing, I ended up joining Positively Fit that week. From the minute I set foot in the door, I felt like family. Everyone was so friendly and kind. There was no intimidation factor, just real people. I eventually met the infamous Yolanda, and I now not only have a Zumba mentor, but a wonderful Zumba family at Positively Fit. Thank you to Vicki and her wonderful team for inspiring and motivating real people like me to be their best.

I have been a member of Positively Fit for a while, it wasn’t until February of this year that I entered the weight challenge. I lost the weight I wanted, and decided in March to give personal training a try. When I had been members of other gyms before I usually was not happy with the trainers I had and ended up with an injury and would lose many month’s with recovery. I went into training this time with trust of my experienced trainer Vicki Layton I have known Vicki for years, but after the first workout with her I was pretty confident that she was the person that could help me achieve my new goals and also the one that would help me change my life for the better. During the last seven month’s I have been challenged and pushed by Vicki and everyone of the staff at Positively Fit for Life. She has taught me and continues to teach me more each time. She makes working out fun and inspires me to reach new goals. I have been very impressed with her passion to help me and all of her other clients as well. Her knowledge, and her ability to connect with people is amazing. She has introduced me to HIIT, High Intensity Interval Training. Which is not an easy workout, it gets your heart to pumping and I start sweating, but I know it’s great for me. If you want to get that core tight, try one of Melissa Shubert HIIT classes or training, and her Thursday night Core class will get your mid section strong. Ive met many of her clients, and she loves to celebrate the victories her clients achieve, whether in weight loss or in life. Stephen Steven Almon (Stevo) is awesome as well, hes ripped and everyone at PF loves him, he always greets you with a fist bump and a smile. All the staff there is very caring and attentive to what we need, what our limits are and how they can push, encourage and motivate us to do better. I plan on continuing my journey of transformation. Zumba with Yolanda Gonzalez is high energy, fun, and laugh’s that leaves us sweaty but feeling great accomplishment. Yoga with Micheline McLeod is calming of the mind after a long day at work, and strengthening of the body and mind. Now Im addicted, setting new goals for strength, speed and overall fitness. Feels like a family here!I look forward to Saturday mornings at 10:00 am also with Candys Zumba crew, we laugh and sweat and have fun. Come and check it out.
