Where I train.
Where I'd send you.
Every gym on this page is one I've personally trained at — or one that holds a meaningful place in my story. No paid placements. Just honest notes on where to go and why.
Where I Train Daily
My primary gym — and my first recommendation.
Full-Service Gym · Chain
Vasa Fitness
📍 Clinton, Utah · Multiple Weber & Davis County locations
Vasa is where I train every day. The Clinton location has the equipment, the space, and the atmosphere I need to get the work done consistently. It's well-maintained, reasonably priced for the access you get, and busy enough to have energy without being so crowded that you're waiting for equipment.
The variety of equipment available covers everything you need for a comprehensive program whether you're a beginner or an experienced lifter. Multiple locations across Weber and Davis County mean you're never far from a Vasa if you're in the area.
Vasa has their own app for managing your membership, booking classes, and checking in. I use it every visit. See the Apps page for my full notes on it.
Also Recommended
A solid alternative — and a popular local choice.
Full-Service Gym · Chain
EoS Fitness
📍 Weber & Davis County, Utah · Multiple locations
EoS Fitness has become one of the more popular gym options in the Weber and Davis County area — and it's earned that reputation. The facilities are modern, well-equipped, and designed for serious training. Like Vasa, the pricing is accessible for the level of equipment and amenities you get access to.
EoS tends to attract a motivated membership base and maintains a solid atmosphere for anyone who wants to put in real work. Multiple locations across the area give you flexibility depending on where you live or work.
Vasa vs EoS? Honestly — visit both if you're undecided. Both are solid and the right choice usually comes down to which location is closest and which atmosphere you prefer. The best gym is the one you'll actually drive to consistently.
Where It All Started
The gym that started everything — with my dad.
Historic Local Gym · Ogden
Ogden Athletic Club
📍 Ogden, Utah
Long before I was a fitness coach, I was a kid following my dad through the doors of the Ogden Athletic Club. He used to take us here — and it was in this building that I first discovered a genuine love for lifting weights and physical fitness.
There's something about the place where you first fall in love with something that stays with you. The Ogden Athletic Club is that place for me. It's where lifting went from something my dad did to something I did — and eventually to something I've built my life around. Much of my family are still members there.
"It was there that I found a love for lifting weights and physical fitness. That foundation never left me."
I include the Ogden Athletic Club here not because it competes with modern chain gyms on equipment or amenities — but because it represents something more important than that. It's proof that the right environment at the right moment can shape the entire trajectory of a life.
Choosing the Right Gym
The gym question I get asked most often.
Location beats everything
The nicest gym in the world doesn't matter if it's 30 minutes away. The gym you'll actually go to consistently is the right gym. Prioritize proximity above all else.
Equipment that fits your program
If you're lifting heavy, you need squat racks, not just Smith machines. Make sure the gym has what your program actually requires before you commit.
Atmosphere matters more than you think
You'll absorb the energy of the room you train in. A motivated gym culture makes consistency easier. Visit during your usual training time before signing up.
Don't over-invest before you're consistent
A $15/month gym you go to every day beats a $100/month gym you're too intimidated to use. Start accessible, upgrade when consistency is already built.
Check crowd levels at your time
A gym can feel completely different at 6am vs 5pm. Visit at the time you'd actually train. Waiting 20 minutes for a squat rack will kill your momentum.
The best gym is the one you return to
Consistency is THE goal. Any gym that gets you through the door repeatedly is the right gym for you — regardless of what anyone else says about it.
Have a gym. Need a program?
The gym is just the venue. What you do inside it — and how consistently you do it — is where coaching comes in.
