Welcome to The Fit Stop Fitness Center in Strykersville! We are your go-to for supportive coaching, real progress, and a community that has your back. Find us right on Route 78 next to Red Apple and Five Star Bank.
The Fit Stop isn’t a big-box gym or a quick-fix fitness program. We specialize in small-group, semi-private personal training, often referred to as pro-active Physical Therapy, designed around real people, real bodies, and real lives. Every Fit Stop family member gets personalized coaching, clear structure, and a supportive environment where you’re known by name – not a number. Our focus is helping you move better, get stronger, and stay consistent for the long run.
100%! Almost ALL of our over 5,000 clients were first time Training clients. This is the reason we have spent so much time focusing on creating unique Exercise Prescriptions for each person. Everyone is at a different starting point, and everyone has unique goals and abilities. This is the magic bullet for fitness, and the reason so many people have not had success in the past, because they never had formal fitness training... This is our BIGGEST differentiator.
Nope, we have gym access only plans as well! Our niche is creating customized Exercise Rx for each person individually. Our Training clients range from a 6 year old Race card driver, to a 91 year old who can still drive and walk into the gym on his own! But if you have Training or gym experience and just need a place to execute, we've got you!
Love it, yes, we are much more than a results focused gym! The Fit Stop also has an indoor Golf Club! A Trackman golf simulator studio offering bay rentals, leagues and tournaments (the same tech the PGA uses!) We also have four outdoor Pickleball courts that are in use during the Spring, Summer and Fall. Pickleball court rentals along with fun leagues and tournaments!! Many also don't realize that we have an outdoor turf training area here. This is awesome for those nice days that you need to go to the gym, but want your daily dose of Mother Nature's Vitamin D! Come here and train outside when it's nice! Oh yeah, I'd be neglected if I didn't mention our connection with Elite Athlete Construction (Gavyn's biz) that helps your younger kids develop a healthy relationship with movement or work more specifically on your child's specific sport!! Game changer! (pun intended)
GREAT question, and... it ... Again, this is where we've been able to flip the script and provide high level training to everyone!! How? Well, our team of Exercise specialists are trained in working with 2-5 people at the same time! Each person has his or her own Exercise prescription programmed & coached on (based on an extensive "about me" form you fill out, PLUS a comprehensive 27 step self guided mobility assessment so our experts know exactly where you need help). This detailed info gives our coaches all the info they need to program specifically for YOU. Best part?! It's less than HALF the cost of normal 1-1 Personal Training!! Yeah, you read that right - Bet that got your attention! Yes, it's why this gym in a cornfield in our little town has been successful for almost two decades... This only happens when YOU are successful. Makes sense, eh?
Yes, all Training clients and gym access members get 24/7 keycard access!
No way! Not here, not with us! Why do you ask... Well, please don't take this as arrogant, but we are GREAT at what we do, you will get the best results and care that you've ever achieved, and it will be a fun and rewarding journey!! ... but if it's just not right for you, you can pause, freeze or cancel anytime AND we still will be friends! That's important to us!
Well... If a less than $9/week membership fee along with a one time keycard activation fee (that can be credited toward training) is affordable to you, then YES - a basic facility access membership is affordable and less than your morning gas station coffee. This is a great inexpensive option if you understand how to train, how to progressively overload your body, can periodize your own training, have had Formal fitness training in the past AND you are highly motivated and disciplined to DO IT! If I lost you somewhere in there, then our Training program is prolly a better fit, but you'll experience zero pressure either way. We'll just have an adult conversation to help guide you in the right direction in hopes you will join our other thousands of Fit Stoppers who have loved their experience here!
Cleanliness and Friendliness are two of our mottos! Yes, we've been described as spotless. Check out our Google reviews, our attention to detail and cleanliness is often mentioned. Best way to find out for yourself? Book a time to talk to Tom.
Yup, crystal clean locker rooms with Lockers you can claim, showers you can use, and unlimited use of our two person saunas to help relax and enjoy the infrared benefits of a sauna are all included with any level of membership! (Pretty sweet, eh?)
SOOOO Glad you asked! And this could go on and on. As you can see, we pride ourselves on YOUR Success first and foremost. This is quite obvious from your first chat with Tom, and it doesn't just happen by luck... We are truly blessed to have the most amazing, almost over-qualified training staff. I'm talking about a FOUR YEAR Exercise Science major in Coach Gavyn (yup, Bachelors degree in helping you move better!), Cross-fit Level 1 certified coach Hannah, Becky is a Physical Therapist Assistant, Ryann is a former Biggest Loser coach, Sarah is a Cross-Fit and Functional training superstar, Rose has been a cycling icon for YEARS, Laura is a Board certified Functional Nutritionist and leads our BodySculpt Pilates/Barre class, Deb has been with us since 2007 teaching Yoga and TRX!) So, you are in good hands. You WILL NOT find a more competent, better qualified team perhaps ANYWHERE! BEST PART? They are amazing human beings, and passionate about helping YOU live your best life! Double Bonus - somehow they make your experience enjoyable!!
