The Gym MPLS is a “training-first” gym, which is a simple term for a very powerful concept. While many gyms are primarily self-directed, The Gym MPLS isn’t just about the individual fitness buff. Don’t click away so quickly–we want you to get the results you want! But we understand that motivation, dedication, and quality equipment only go so far if an individual doesn’t have all the expertise to know how to use it to advance their goals. Or worse, you could even end up hurting yourself!
That’s why The Gym MPLS is “training-first.” That means that our focus is on supporting the fitness professionals who know exactly how to help you get the best results and achieve your goals. Think of us as a “co-op” for fitness trainers, a space where they have the equipment and resources necessary to push you to your limit and help you go that extra mile and get the outcomes you’re looking for.
Of course, The Gym MPLS is open to everybody, professional or not. But our goal is not just to give you some weights and tell you to go wild; our vision is to incubate the best, brightest, and strongest trainers around who can, in turn, help you help yourself.
The Gym MPLS is a Home Base for Trainers
“Training-first” is an attractive idea, but it means nothing if the space doesn’t actually work for the trainers that need to use it. So how does The Gym MPLS go about attracting the best established and upcoming fitness professionals?
Well, high-quality equipment is a huge start. Gear isn’t everything, and we’ve all seen people with 4-figure racks collecting dust. But we also believe that having updated and trustworthy equipment that isn’t worn out or broken is fundamental to providing an effective workout experience and giving everyone–from trainers to trainees–the motivation to keep pushing themselves!
More importantly, “training-first” means that all trainers need to have the proper environment to train their clients properly. Instead of pushing big sales commissions to fill up a gym with body upon body, The Gym MPLS actually goes the other direction–we put a hard limit on membership numbers. Sound absurd? Think about it: the best workouts come when you’re not tripping over other people, when you’re not constantly waiting in line for equipment, and when you have the time to use the equipment without worrying about denying it to others. The Gym MPLS gives trainers and their clients the freedom (in terms of space and time) to effectively work 1-on-1 to meet their goals.
More resources from The Gym MPLS
Supporting trainers doesn’t just mean giving them the space to do their thing–it means actually supporting their professional development, on and off the mats. Personal trainers can partner with The Gym MPLS to take advantage of resources that include not just our space and equipment, but also business development resources–social media strategy, professional photography, business coaching, and more. If you’re a trainer, know that we’re here to help you build your brand just like your presence and knowledge helps build ours.
Our training-first approach isn’t just for regular gym-goers; it also applies to anyone who wants to get a workout anywhere, at any time! Through our highly customizable online workout program Apex Anywhere program, you’ll receive that exact same personalized training approach whether you’re at home, in a hotel, at a gym you’re not used to, or wherever. Each day you’ll be texted a survey and respond with info about your location, equipment options, energy levels, available time, and more–then get a workout plan for the day sent to you that takes into account all these variables to ensure you can keep working towards your fitness goals no matter what situation you find yourself in.
