SHED Fitness a.k.a 'Steel Paradise'

My wife and I have been going to Shed for the last year and love it. Great equipment And an awesome gym community to be a part of. Definitely recommend to anyone who doesn’t want the busyness of commercial gym. Shout out to Mike the gym owner who is attentive to the gym members and taking care of the gym. #steelsharpenssteel

My son was ridiculed at school for his physical strength and i could see it impacting his confidence. I needed a place for my 10yr old son to experience the sanctuary of a gym and where we could bond on a different level and also a place where he could build foundations for muscle development.Enter Mike and SHED fitness.This place transformed my son, boosted his confidence which was visible in his relationships, his school life, etc.He actually enjoyed going to the gym, focusing on his health and more importantly pushed me to go the gym and spend some quality workouts with him.Thanks Shed. I'm forever grateful to Mike and this place.

The gym is unlike other gyms I've been to. I truly feel like I'm part of community and Mike has always been good to me. As an owner he has been understanding and welcoming. This gym has pushed me to new highs.

Trained with Mike (the owner) for 3-4 months in 2022. Hadn't been in a gym for over 15 years. Also had recurring knee and back issues. Told Mike I wanted to lose weight for a wedding in March 2023 but the main goal was to learn to lift properly and just get stronger. He basically got me to the point where I would come in and do my own sessions. Mike and all the other trainers are super knowledgeable but also very different methods/styles so there's probably one that fits what you're looking for (if you want one). I train at different times of the day and even at its busiest, there's enough equipment to be able to do whatever your plan was. It'll be 11 months at the end of this month since joining and it's the only gym I've been able to say I've joined and actively used for this long. Definitely recommend it if you want to really commit yourself to whatever your fitness goals are because everyone else is on the same vibe.Pic reference: Left was when I first started training (Aug 2022). Right is recently (Jun 2023). I'm down 45 lbs but went from 35% body fat to 20-22%.

I had personal training with Mike C for 4 months. He taught me so much and pushed me beyond my limits with the workout plans he created. The gym atmosphere is a close knit community, where everyone is always encouraging and proud of every small or big accomplishment you make. Absolutely love this gym and the good vibes it has. Mike is a fantastic owner with such good energy and he ensures that is brought into his gym. A place I would recommend for everyone especially beginners who are afraid of the gym. This place will welcome you with open arms with no judgment.

The only gym I will go to. Mike is like family and treats all his members with respect and has a generous heart. He helped me out back when I didn't have much and gave a few free months, and I know the countless other people he has helped out or given the benefit of the doubt to. Mike is a man for the community and is passionate about the gym environment he has created. His gym atmosphere is one that feels like family.

Been at Shed for just over a month now - and everything I've experienced has been first class.Gym: Clean and has all the equipment you need. Even during peak evening hours - you don't have to wait for a bench or machine. It's not as spacious as a big box gym - but it doesn't need to be. Owner has optimized the space he does have.Owner: Mike has been nothing but professional and friendly with me. IMO he genuinely cares about his members. Always willing to help.Vibe: Always good energy when I go. Members are friendly and courteous to one another. Great music too.Overall - a place you look forward to going. If you're looking to join - best thing to do would be to come by and see if Mike's there. If not - leave your name/number at the front desk on a sticky note and write that you're inquiring about a membership. Gym isn't staffed - so if you miss him - he'll at least see the note the next time he's in and contact you fairly quick.

this gym is the opposite of a cookie cutter corporate facility, it has a soul and personality. the old school vibe is impossible to find anymore, its hard core and totally comfortable at the same time. its the brain child of a life long fitness professional with charm and practicality (Mike) and his space is a perfect reflection of his amazingly positive outlook and friendly way. highly recommend if you want more than a place to work out and be part of a community with the best atmosphere

Owner is not trust worthy, cheated on his wife and steals people's money. Don't go to this gym. Not 'steel Paradise' whatsoever.When a gym owner is not present, how is one supposed to pay for their guest ? What Mike chose to do was be unprofessional with me and didn't even pull me aside. In front of many members he disrespected and embarrassed me for no good reason. I hope you feel good about yourself Mike.I know of plenty of ex members who were charged on MULTIPLE occasions after leaving and asking multiple times to stop getting charged. I personally got a refund from Mike because I would NEVER leave my credit card information with this untrusting owner.**He also acts like I stole from him which all I ever did was be a respectful member to this gym and keep to myself. Never again**
