Motiv8 Fitness

Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t say enough amazing things about this gym! After my back surgery, I truly thought I’d never get back to feeling like myself again — but working with Jo, my personal trainer, has been absolutely life-changing. She’s been more instrumental in my recovery than physical therapy ever was, and I can honestly say my life wouldn’t be the same without her expertise, support, and encouragement. The owner, Kevin, is also fantastic — he genuinely cares about the members and always has thoughtful recommendations. Their in-house dietician, Lauren, has completely reshaped my relationship with food in the best way possible, helping me find balance and confidence again. And I can’t forget Hannah, their incredible massage therapist, who has helped realign my spine and relieve pain I thought I’d be living with forever. Her work has been the missing piece in my recovery. This isn’t just a gym — it’s a place where you feel supported in every aspect of your health. I’m so grateful I found it!

Fantastic experience: When I was looking for a personal trainer, I was thrilled to find Motiv8 Fitness! I started working out with Lauren twice a week for several months, and she is absolutely amazing—so patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging. When I started, I could barely lift 10 pounds overhead. I ended up doing squats with 65 pounds on a bar! Lauren has helped me build both strength and mobility, and I’ve seen such a difference. The facility is always super clean, and everyone there is very welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get stronger and feel better!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Lauren for almost three months now, and it’s been an incredible experience. She always keeps the workouts interesting, challenging, and tailored to my goals. Her energy and encouragement make each session something I genuinely look forward to. I’m seeing real progress and couldn’t be happier with the journey so far!

Fantastic experience: Not your ordinary gym! I’m truly so grateful for Motiv8!! I’ve been going there for months now and absolutely have seen results. I’m working with a personal trainer named Lauren. She is also a registered dietitian and has helped me so much improve my strength mobility, confidence and relationship with food. I’m much more mindful and my overall mood has improved dramatically. The owner is so nice and his facilities are very clean. I always feel welcome and safe.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. It has all the things and is always clean and inviting. They are quick to respond to any need or question. My trainer, Lauren, is awesome. She encourages me and works with my schedule. Highly recommend Motiv8!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility and even better people! Signed up late last year to get a jump start and Daniel guided me through workouts and education. Extremely clean professional and motiv8-ing! Highly recommend for all your personal trainer needs!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at Motiv8 for about 6 months now and I am blown away by the progress I’ve seen working with Jaylin. I’m not an athlete and I’ve never been comfortable in a gym, but this is truly the highlight of my week. The gym is clean, big enough to have any equipment we need, and well set up in terms of ability to accommodate multiple trainers/clients at a time. Jaylin is amazing to work with and is helping me reach goals I didn’t even know I had. I can’t wait to see what the next 6 months can show me!

Fantastic experience: Jo is so great! She was super helpful and patient for a complete newbie like me, and always so sweet with a great smile! Loved working with her

Fantastic experience: Motiv8 is a great gym and close to home! Jo has taught me proper strength training and pushed me to my limits in all the best ways. Lauren was able to provide specific nutritional education and advice for my goals. 10/10, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: In one month I see such a difference in my physique thanks to the training of Kevin! The facility is clean and the people are friendly. Best of all they don’t make you run! Just weights and sensible workouts. I don’t suffer thru them. They make it easy and quick to do a workout! Susan Draper

Fantastic experience: Well equipped fitness center with professional and kind staff members. My favorite place to exercise.

Fantastic experience: Andrea Kay is outstanding! Challenges me just right. First, she demonstrates then observes to help me correct. Always encouraging and positive. Andrea is always prepared with a plan but adjusts on the fly if I come in with a sore something-or-other. I've been coming since 2018 and I'm glad I did. The facility is always clean and roomy and the staff is friendly.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I feel the totally at home with the staff and Ashley has worked very hard to work on our strength and flexibility. The entire crew will make you feel at home while working on your inner health. Very pleased with the value and results.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Andrea! She’s an amazing trainer and I really enjoy working with her. Andrea has worked with me for over a year to help improve mobility and strength. I am so impressed with her knowledge and patience as I started from a very sedentary lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: If you are tired of gym shame, and ready to get fit again-make this your first call. You won’t find a better group of people, or a trainer who cares more about your progress. Just Do It!

Fantastic experience: I love working out at Motiv8 fitness! I train with Carl, and he is so knowledgeable and fun to work with. He listens to your goals for the day and encourages you to listen to your body. The atmosphere is very comfortable and low key. Kevin, the gym owner is always very accessible to answer any questions or help you get into other classes. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Bryana M was my trainer while I was working in Lexington for 4 months. She is incredibly intelligent. Listens to your needs and goals. She has a great personality and an adorable dog. I would honestly take a bullet for her. Highly recommend this angel.

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Andrea at Motiv8 since January and I can't say enough good things about my experience. Andrea is a thoughtful trainer. She watches, listens and develops a training plan to the individual. I'm always amazed how she can suggest a subtle tweak to a movement that makes all the difference.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough great things about Kevin Miller at Motiv8 Fitness! I started a training program with him in December- focus on strength, stability, and stretching. His personalized mobile program and daily checkins kept me on track (even when I didn’t want to!) accountability is key for me! I highly recommend him and his program. I feel better than I have in years!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Jaylin Jones! He has a clear understanding off my fitness goals, and explains how we are working towards those goals in a way that is easy to understand and makes sense. He asks quality questions and seeks feedback from me throughout the session. He demonstrates a through understanding of fitness fundamentals and proper mechanics. He is a nice guy, with a positive attitude. As for Motiv8 in general, it has a positive, friendly vibe. It is clean and the owner Kevin is great. Pricing is straitforward.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Motiv8 for personal training for the last couple of years. All of the employees are polite and professional. The gym is well maintained. The pricing is fair and straight-forward. The owner, Kevin, is a good dude. I recommend Motiv8 to anyone who is looking for a personal trainer.

Fantastic experience: I came to Lexington for work and was looking for personal training. I came across motiv8 fitness and I could not have been more lucky to find this place! I reached out to Kevin, the owner, and he immediately got back to me and set me up sessions with Ashley. I had the absolute best personal training experience. I never looked forward to working out and always had trouble sticking with it but my trainer Ashley helped me with the process. I’m down weight and could not be more happy! Thank you kevin and Ashley!!

Fantastic experience: Bryson is always energetic and motivating. I’ve worked out with trainers that just tell you exercises to do and then just count your reps. Bryson is education focused and answers a lot of the “why” questions before I have time to think of them, and most of that was Bryson taking the time to understand what my goals are - rather than just be directed through a cookie cutter workout. It’s a great change when someone gets you excited for improvement and not just results - although results are still nice to see. I would recommend checking them out for anyone that’s looking to start a fitness journey or trying to break through frustrating plateaus.

Fantastic experience: I workout with Daniel and I’ve seen a ton of progress over the last year. Motive8 is a great environment with knowledgeable trainers. Hit up Daniel for sessions.

Fantastic experience: I've worked with Daniel for several months at Motiv8. He has helped me continue to make progress towards my goals, even though I'm not always great about being consistent. Daniel (and all the trainers I've interacted with) are very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Motiv8 offers both personal training and group fitness classes. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: My trainer, Daniel Burgess, has been an asset in achieving results, planning my unique sessions to meet my goals. He challenges me and inspires me to work harder and grow stronger. My noticeable gains, like Daniel’s training, exceed my expectations.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommendable. Great private gym with high skilled staff.

Fantastic experience: Cam has been a really amazing trainer for my 14 year old son. He pushes him with positive encouragement and has really helped him with his self esteem. He's very easy to work with. Go see Cam at Motiv8 and he will get you together!!

Fantastic experience: Coach Cam is great, his knowledge and attention to detail is really impressive. He will make you feel comfortable and at ease while you work toward your fitness goals. He will be great no matter your fitness level or goals. If you're looking for a personal trainer Coach Cam is your guy!

Fantastic experience: Motiv8 Fitness has been awesome! I’ve been working out with Kevin for several years now & have never felt better. I started out just trying to get some strength back after a shoulder replacement. I was having some pain again, but strengthening was the key. Kevin helps with form, & making sure I don’t re-injure myself with the right amount of challenge in a full body workout. After establishing my base, Kevin has helped me slowly and healthfully drop 45 pounds over the last year with twice a week sessions and some simple eating habit changes. It’s true what they say, that exercise is the best medicine. I’ve tried keeping my own regimens, but always fell off the wagon eventually. Kevin helps keep me accountable in a friendly & encouraging way, and he mixes it up so I don’t get bored. He’s great at adapting to special needs & all ages - we’ve even had family workout sessions with him. I highly recommend Kevin & Motive8 Fitness!

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Motiv8 for a year now. My trainer is Jaylin and is he the absolute best. During my time at Motiv8 I have managed to lose 30 pounds and counting and gain muscle. I needed Motiv8 to help keep me motivated and focused on my goals. If you are looking to lose weight or just gain muscle I highly recommend Jaylin or any of the trainers at Motiv8 Fitness.

Fantastic experience: I started Motiv8 fitness when gyms were allowed to reopen in June. Every time I come in, I am challenged, I get stronger, and at the end of the day my body continues to change and I move closer to my goals. Motiv8 is unlike other training facilities. When you join, you become part of the Motiv8 family. Jaylin is an awesome trainer and extremely knowledgeable! As the saying goes, “Consistency is Key,” and being a part of Motiv8 has kept me consistent. PS- Kevin is awesome too.

Fantastic experience: Motiv8 Fitness is awesome! I have been achieving all my strength goals and am having a great time while doing it! Kevin has tailored workouts for me that I can do from home, which was extremely helpful during the coronavirus shutdown. I really enjoy attending the small group classes also.

Fantastic experience: Motiv8 Fitness is more than gym--they're family! Kevin and Jaylin have been training my sister and I over the last few years in Meadowthorpe and we can't imagine working out elsewhere. Not only am I reaching my fitness goals, but I'm gaining a better understanding of my athletic potential overall. Motiv8 is a lifestyle, and worth your time!

Fantastic experience: I have been exercising at Motiv8 for over a year. It’s been a great experience. I can not recommend them enough. My trainer is Jaylin and he every other trainer are kind, professional, knowledgeable, and patient. So long as I live in Lexington, I will continue to exercise with Kevin and his team.

Fantastic experience: This studio is tidy and professional! The trainers are fantastic and personable. I definitely feel like I'm getting my fitness needs met!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! Kevin, Jaylin and Andrea have helped me achieve my goals on my schedule. I also love the convenience to the Meadowthorpe neighborhood. Great value.

Fantastic experience: I came across Motiv8 when I was ready to commit to a lifestyle change. I met Kevin, the owner, who immediately made me feel comfortable and confident I could do this. He was encouraging, pushed me past my comfort zone and genuinely wanted me to meet my goals. He even helped me with meal plans and checked in on me throughout the week. He created training exercises made just for me and focused on the areas I wanted to improve. I stayed very consistent with Kevin and making it an effort to always make my training sessions. It was a success, after a year of focus, I lost 70 lbs and feel stronger and healthier than I have ever in my life. If you’re ready to make a change in your life, there is no one else I would recommend to you. This guy helped me change my life and I am forever grateful for him! Give him a call, he’ll do the same for you!

Fantastic experience: Kevin Miller and Motiv8 Fitness are the best, most professional fitness company in the business. Wish I could rate this 10 stars! You won't find a better place to workout in Lexington.

Fantastic experience: So I've been training here with Andrea for about 2 months now, twice a week. I went to her after sustaining some sports related injuries, and wanted to learn how to work out the proper way to aid in recovery and regaining functionality. Andrea is awesome and knowledgable; she comes prepared with a unique workout plan every single session, but has been able to quickly adapt if any of my old injuries were bothering me. So not only am I never bored (and thus look forward to every session), she is ensuring I'm getting an efficient workout that considers my limitations. Definitely recommend her :) Also Kevin, the owner, is such a cool dude. When I first reached out to him about his business, he was patient with me and took the time to answer my many questions, asked me about my goals, my history with fitness, etc. In person, he is just very kind and approachable. His clients seem to enjoy working with him as well!

Fantastic experience: I love training with Andrea because she is professional, knowledgeable, and has a delightful personality. I might drag in feeing like a crumpled dollar bill but I leave feeling like a million bucks!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Kevin at Motiv8 since March of 2017 and have had an amazing experience. Kevin is always so positive and encourages me to go past my limits. He keeps workouts entertaining and fun and has helped me achieve my fitness goals. I couldn’t imagine working out anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: I have gone to the Body Burn class for the past 8 months and Kevin does a great job of mixing cardio with strength exercises. Every class is different which is refreshing since other classes like this can get repetitive. Kevin puts a lot of thought into the structure of each class and I always feel energized afterwards!

Fantastic experience: Great place to train! Trainers are very personable. Their routines vary per class. Exactly what I was looking to find.

Fantastic experience: Andrea comes with years of experience and training, both personal and professional. She knows her stuff! She listens to what her clients need and she develops a individual plan for each person. I have worked with her for a couple of years and her knowledge and sense of humor make the hour fun (yes, fun). She keeps me on task.

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained at Motiv8 for almost 2 years now and absolutely love it. The small group classes really allow for more one-on-one attention and they’re always so much fun. Outside of group classes, I’ve also trained with Kevin and Jaylin. Their workouts are intense, functional, and different, so I never feel burnt out or bored. The staff at Motiv8 really care about their clients and I always feel like a priority every time I step foot into the gym. This is a great place to achieve your fitness goals!!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Staff is amazing, and Jaylin (trainer) is a beast. Very considerate of my time, and always tries to create a new workout routine when I go in. High intensity, but seeing results. Highly recommend for anyone considering getting back into shape.

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Training here has done so much to boost me physically and mentally. They've helped me completely change my lifestyle. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Andrea for just over a year. It is one of the best decisions of my life. As a physical therapist I always thought I could manage my own fitness program. Andrea has done that better than I ever could. My overall flexibility and strength have improved dramatically. My physical health and self image have improved. It has a been a great experience!!!

Fantastic experience: I can not say enough good things about my experience working with Andrea Kay on a weekly basis. I started in March of 2018, and working with her once a week has more than improved my core strength, and my confidence. Friends and co-workers have noticed the difference and commented as such. Andrea is thoughtful in how she customizes my workouts, which are encouraging and challenging. She mixes things up on a regular basis so that my workouts do not become "by rote." And, the intimate space that is Motiv8 Fitness is well suited to a personal training experience. If you are looking for a small studio space and a personal trainer, this is a great place to start!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Kevin for over 6 months and really enjoyed training with him. Kevin will challenge you but also work with your limitations or injuries to ensure that you have a safe experience as well. The gym is very nice and always clean and has a great variety of equipment to use so your workouts never get boring! For reasons having nothing to do with Kevin, I have just joined a gym and feel that my workouts with him really prepared me well to get back into the swing of working out on my own and I don't think I would have survived my first hour long class if I hadn't spent the past 6 months getting back into shape with Kevin. Thank you Kevin!

Fantastic experience: I met Kevin several years ago at a gym where I used to work out. After a few years of not working out, I decided it was time to get back to it. While searching for new place to work out, I found that Kevin had opened Motiv8 Fitness & I knew this is where I wanted to be. I started training with him in May & have seen a drastic change in my endurance & in my strength. Kevin provides me with the desire to push myself & challenges me every day I'm there. Kevin has created a friendly, motivating environment, & I am beyond greatful for his leadership in my fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: Kevin is amazing! He has really pushed me to become diligent on my fitness journey and is always there to offer his support whenever you need it. His Saturday classes are super fun and a great morning workout. If you haven’t had time to check out his personal training or classes, do it! Everyone has to start somewhere on their journey and I am glad Kevin is there to help me achieve my fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: My fiancée and I joined Motiv8 in September of this year in order to lose some weight before our wedding. We both enjoy working out with Kevin, as he is very flexible with scheduling and provides many additional services beyond your typical personal trainer such as off day workouts and food recommendations. If you are looking to get in shape, I would highly recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: My Fiancé and I have been going to Movtiv8 for the past two months and we have enjoyed every bit of it. Kevin the instructor is great at what he does and is very personable. I would highly recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: I learned about Motiv8 from a friend at work and it has helped me become more confident in knowing proper weight lifting techniques as well as dietary/nutrition needs. I was sick of the bigger gyms, where I felt like I was "just a member." At Motiv8, Kevin has been able to help me become stronger and focus on areas that needed improvement, which has enhanced my overall fitness. This is a great gym no matter your exercise background. Kevin is a wonderful trainer who genuinely cares about helping you obtain your fitness goals. Motiv8 has a welcoming environment where you can come to get a total body work out, and focus on reaching your highest potential. I would recommend this gym for anyone who interested in becoming a healthier person!

Fantastic experience: I first discovered Motiv8 through a Groupon deal. I appreciated the initial time that Kevin took to evaluate my personal goals and needs, before introducing me to Alyssa. She has effectively pushed me outside of my comfort zone with an array of 30-45 minute full body workout routines since June 2017. I've become stronger than I've ever been, which helps with chasing around my 17 month old toddler. I've never felt pressured or intimidated at Motiv8. They are amazing teachers, who have a lot to offer "motiv8ed" students.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Motiv8 and my trainer, Alyssa Gatewood, more highly! In addition to creating a customized resistance training plan that builds strength to help combat my neck and shoulder pain, she helped me fall love with weight training, which I used to hate and avoid by just doing cardio. Plus, my body looks better at age 33 than ever! Don't hesitate - go to Motiv8!

Fantastic experience: I stumbled across Motiv8 when I was looking for a trainer to get ready for my upcoming wedding. I've been working out with Kevin for about 3 months, I've lost 30lbs, and my dress now needs to be taken in instead of let out. I couldn't have found a better place to workout.

Fantastic experience: I didn’t think I could do the things I have until I started training at Motiv8. I am getting stronger everyday thanks to Kevin. My husband and I started several weeks ago and LOVE it. It's not an intimidating atmosphere which helps me feel more comfortable. He has helped us with our off days as well as nutrition. I highly recommend Motiv8!

Fantastic experience: Love working out here!

Fantastic experience: Excellent personal training and nutrition counseling!!!

Fantastic experience: First let me say that everyone in this gym is welcoming no matter your experience level! It is not one of those intimidating situations where you come once and don't return. I first met Kevin at a previous gym and followed him when he opened his own. From day one, I knew I was in good hands. We discussed my fitness goals, took measurements, and even worked on a meal plan. I saw results in my first 30 days! Kevin is an excellent trainer who pushes you when you need it... both inside and outside of class. He truly wants to help you achieve your goals! His customized workouts are challenging, engaging and fun. I will always be a fan. Thanks for pushing me mentally and physically! I would HIGHLY recommend Kevin and his gym for anyone looking to improve their health.

Fantastic experience: Great one on one training. The classes are a great workout and are worth it.

Fantastic experience: I love the atmosphere here. There are a variety of options, from classes to individual sessions- it takes the pressure out of feeling uncomfortable and you can go at your own pace. And needless to say, the trainers are great! Bring a friend, your first class is free. It changed my perspective on working out and I couldn't be happier or more grateful!
