Achieving Your Best: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Cassie and her staff are the best! We love the gym and all the other support services they offer.
Thank you, Chris! We love having you and Susan at AYB and helping you reach your goals! We look forward to seeing you soon!
Fantastic experience: Nice gym, great services including diet and nutrition, functional fitness and metabolic testing. They offer several different group and individual training modalities. Got my test with VO2 measurements and Heart rate zones for effective target zone training. Also uncovered baseline aerobic threshold which is a game changer for a masters runner like me. Cassie and Amanda are fantastic.
Thank you for leaving a review, Albert! We are so glad you were able to come in and do metabolic testing to help you learn more about your baseline numbers and how to use those to achieve your goals!
Fantastic experience: Great place. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff
Thank you, Roberta! We are so happy you had a good experience with our facility and staff and we appreciate the time you took to leave a review!
Fantastic experience: How can you ever step foot into a normal gym after experiencing the encouragement & atmosphere at AYB? The trainers are so encouraging and kind. Love it here so much!
Thank you, Bethany! We are so grateful that you are part of our community and we love having you here and supporting your hard work you put in!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing place! The people are so kind and respectful. I always felt as though my opinion was valued. I met amazing personal trainers and dieticians there. Both the gym and nutrition side of the business changed my life. Would highly recommend!!
Thank you, Gretchen! We are so happy that we have been able to help you on your journey and get to know you so we could help you reach your goals!
Fantastic experience: I currently train with Ryleigh and do a nutritional package with her. I love how down to earth she is and kind. She works at my pace and is very understanding of limitations as I ease back into my work out routine. She does do a great variety of exercises to really work out your full body. As for her nutritional training, she put together a lot of informative sheets explaining how to kick start healthy eating habits and a way to keep your pantry and fridge with the necessary items. In the app, she keeps up by checking in and making sure that you stay on track and what your goals are. I've loved being a client at AYB, and think it's very motivational and easy to get back into a healthy lifestyle with Ryleigh and the rest of the team at AYB!
Thank you so much, Marithe! We appreciate you letting us help you get back into a healthy lifestyle. We agree that Ryleigh is an awesome trainer and dietitian and we are so happy that you are getting the motivation that you need at AYB. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Fantastic experience: We loved working with Amanda for helping us sort out diet and nutritional needs for myself and my husband. She was positive, encouraging, easy to work with and very knowledgeable!
Thank you for taking the time to give us a review, Heather! We are so glad that Amanda was able to help you in a positive and encouraging way! She is very knowledgeable and helps our clients get results!
Fantastic experience: I was a little intimidated going to a gym, but working with Ryleigh has put me at ease. She is introducing us to the large variety of equipment and exercises. Each session is different and engaging. Ryleigh is getting me to try new things and is very patient and personalizes the workouts according to ability. Everyone here is very friendly and nonjudgmental. We started our journey with Cassie doing nutritional counseling and have now added in the exercise. We’re feeling healthier each day thanks to AYB!
Thank you for leaving a review, Karen! We love having you and Steve as part of our community. Ryleigh is such a great trainer and we are happy that you are finding a friendly and nonjudgmental experience, which is so important to us to provide! It has been great working with you on nutrition as well-you are really doing what you need to do to have a healthy lifestyle!
Fantastic experience: Love your facility. Wonderful space to get in a workout. Me and my daughter have been training with Ryleigh Clark and she does a great job coming up with fun workouts and she is very motivating. Recommend to anyone looking for a place to workout. All the staff are very friendly and helpful.
Thank you for leaving a review, Kim! We love having you in the gym and we are glad that Ryleigh is helping you and your daughter have a fun, motivating workout experience!
Fantastic experience: True professionals! Highly recommend.
Thank you, Amy! We appreciate you taking time to leave a review and we are happy that we have been able to help you! Hope to see you soon!
Fantastic experience: As an “older adult,” it can be a bit intimidating to walk into a gym. But the atmosphere at AYB is both friendly and comfortable. I love working out with my personal trainer, Kimi Reed. She is helping me so much with strength and balance! Thank you, Kimi!
Thank you, Gloria for taking the time to leave a review! Strength training and balance work is so important and you are consistently working on those, which will help you do the things you love to do! Kimi is such an awesome trainer and physical therapist. We are so happy to have her on our team and you in our community!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to AYB for personal training for about 4 months and really love it! Everyone is so friendly there, and it isn’t an intimidating atmosphere. Ryleigh is the best…she comes up with great workouts that are challenging but not impossible, and has such an encouraging and positive energy. Scheduling these sessions is one of the best things I’ve done for myself in a while. Highly recommend AYB and Ryleigh!
Thank you, Emily! We love having you at AYB and we agree that Ryleigh is awesome! Personal training is such a great way to have an efficient, focused workout that is centered around you and your needs! It can be hard to do something for yourself and we see how dedicated you are to reaching your goals. See you soon at the gym!
Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been working out at AYB for over 3 years and is definitely a significant part of our lives. It is seldom a day goes by that we don’t discuss our workouts or our food plan. We workout at different times and in different programs yet we both thoroughly enjoy the workouts, the people and the overall environment. We have sincerely enjoyed and have benefited from the advice and encouragement Amanda our AYB dietician has provided us over these 3 years as well as the consistently great instructors. There isn’t a bad one in the bunch!! Even when we have had health issues we have had excellent one on one training with Adrienne. Stacey and I are both big fans of AYB!!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We have really enjoyed having you and Stacey in our AYB community for the last 3 years and we have seen you both get stronger, more fit and work towards your goals consistently! Thank you for being so awesome and an inspiration to us and those around you!
Fantastic experience: The best gym and trainers!! I absolutely love their classes! Kim Benson brings the best energy and is a joy to workout with! I recommend AYB to everyone I know and at all skill levels!
Thank you, Grace! We love having you in our community and we agree that Kim has the best energy and is so fun to workout with! We admire your consistency and dedication to exercise!
Fantastic experience: AYB has been an absolute game-changer in my fitness journey! From day one, the team has provided top-tier support, expert guidance, and a motivating environment that pushes you to be your best. I want to give a special shout-out to Amanda Rathbun, my incredible trainer and nutritionist, whose knowledge, encouragement, and tailored training plans played a huge role in my preparation for completing an Ironman Triathlon. Her dedication, attention to detail, and ability to push me past my limits while keeping training smart and effective made all the difference. If you’re looking for a fitness team that truly cares about your goals and has the expertise to help you achieve them, AYB is the place to be! Whether you’re training for a competition or just want to improve your fitness, this team will get you there. Thank you, Amanda and the AYB crew—you all helped make my Ironman dream a reality! Highly recommend! #AYB #IronmanTraining
Thank you, Tony, for taking the time to leave a review! You have accomplished so many of your goals and we are thrilled to be part of your journey becoming an Ironman! We agree that Amanda is awesome, dedicated and encouraging and we are so happy that you are part of our community at AYB!
Fantastic experience: AYB is incredible. The place is clean, everyone is really friendly and they have a variety of options for whatever goal you have (strength, nutrition, performance…etc). Special shout out to Adrianne. She’s always willing to answer any question and really takes time to go over form before class starts. Can recommend this gym enough.
Thank you, Wes! We are happy that you are enjoying the friendly community, clean workout facility and options to fit your needs that we offer at AYB! Adrianne is so great at helping with form and explaining things in a way that is easy to understand! We love having you as part of our community, Wes and love that you have been making the strength workouts happen in our open gym time!
Fantastic experience: This gym is absolutely incredible! Honorable mention to my favorite trainers Adrianne, Justin, Alex, Ryleigh, and Kim! I work at Graddy Real Estate and our boss pays for a monthly membership to workout here, so I took advantage of the opportunity. I started last August, not ever being a "gym go-er" and had only been to Pilates classes previously. I immediately felt right at home! The trainers are not only knowledgeable but genuinely thoughtful, making every workout feel personalized. The variety of classes offered is impressive—they go beyond fitness to teach proper techniques, nutrition, and overall wellness. The workouts themselves are creative and fun, keeping things fresh and exciting while still being challenging. The positive and supportive environment here is unmatched, and it’s clear that they truly care about helping you reach your goals. Could not recommend more!!
Thank you, Kelsey! We are so thankful that Adam Graddy has given you all such a great gift of health and wellness! You are such a wonderful part of our community and we love having you at AYB! We are glad you enjoy the workouts and environment and feel at home with us!
Fantastic experience: AYB is awesome!! Adrianne H is one be of the best trainers I have ever had. She listens to you, adapts workouts to fit your style and fitness level, and is very knowledgeable in nutrition! If you are looking for a gym, I highly suggest AYB! Now if only they would open one in STL area
Thank you, Julie! We agree that Adrianne is awesome and we are so happy that you are doing well and have enjoyed your services at AYB-we love having you as part of our community!
Fantastic experience: AYB is amazing! I joined in 2021 - I was looking for a local gym that could push me to meet my overall health goals in a supportive but challenging environment. AYB exceeded those expectations with variety to its classes and amazing staff. When I became pregnant in 2024, I adapted my membership to begin seeing Adrianne for training specific to pregnancy and her support was incredible (and I believe made a positive difference in my delivery and recovery). If you’re considering joining a gym, join AYB!
Thank you, Cary! We are so excited to have you in our community at AYB and that you worked with Adrianne! She is so knowledgeable about pregnancy and exercise and we love that she has this certification to help in this important phase of life!
Fantastic experience: AYB is a great place to workout out. All of the trainers are very friendly and knowledgeable. Kimi is my personal trainer and she is great! She always changes up the workouts. She is great to adjust the workouts if I have an injury.
Thank you, Linda! We agree that Kimi is great-she is so knowledgeable since she is also a physical therapist! We are so happy that you are part of our community at AYB and we see how hard you are working to reach your goals!
Fantastic experience: This gym and their trainers are amazing. I have seen consistent gains after having not been in a gym for years. They know when to push and take the time to get to know you. I have lost over 20+ pounds since staring in April after a death in my family. They have helped me through. The 5:15 am class is like family and motivate me each morning to get up and start my day right
Thank you Stuart! We love having you in our AYB community and admire your consistency in the early mornings and how you have focused on your health to help get through this really tough time in your life. I know Emma would be so proud of your hard work and dedication and how you have honored her in your races and by showing up every morning. Thank you for all you do to inspire and help others!
Fantastic experience: Good, friendly trainers and varying workouts to keep things interesting. Provides a wide range of health services.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at AYB for about 4-5 years now - I’ve done personal training and performance training! Performance group classes are so fun. The staff is incredible, knowledgeable, funny, and helpful! I did personal training when I was pregnant to help stay active and move my body. I highly recommend AYB for anyone - beginners and experienced athletes!

I look forward to starting my day with performance class. Happy Anniversary AYB !!!
Thank you, Stacy! We have really enjoyed having you as part of our community and you were there when it was just me and the parking lot in the mornings! We appreciate your review and glad that you have found a gym where you are thriving!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best place to work out! The atmosphere is welcoming and completely judgment-free, which makes it perfect for anyone at any fitness level. The trainers here are amazing—they genuinely care about helping you train the right way and achieving your goals!! Highly recommend this place to everyone!

Working out is accessible and needed for everyone and we love to be a place where you can feel like you can belong! Thank you for being such a great part of our community and for your kind words! We look forward to seeing you soon!
Fantastic experience: AYB honestly changed my life. I was a swimmer growing up and when I got to college I let my fitness go. Years went by and BAM I was 22 and very unhappy with my body image and habits I had formed in college. My parents got me to join going to the gym with them and I had finally found a gym I felt safe and comfortable going to. Fast forward almost 4 years now I am stronger than I have ever been and happier than I have ever been. I have reached milestones I never thought I would accomplish (like hiking a 14er out in Colorado) and I owe all my thanks to them for changing my life.
Wow, thank you McKayla! You are such an inspiration and your transformation has been amazing! We are so happy that we have helped you live the life you want and accomplish things that you could not do before! You are such a hard worker and so consistent! Thank you for being part of our community-we love seeing you at AYB!
Fantastic experience: I found AYB about 3 years ago and absolutely fell in love with the gym and the classes! The trainers are amazing and so knowledgeable. They take the time to teach you and push you to be your best! The gym itself is welcoming and inclusive of all people. I highly, highly recommend to everyone!
Thank you Camryn! We have really enjoyed having you at AYB the last 3 years and we are happy that you have enjoyed our awesome trainers and community at AYB. Thank you so much for your review and kind words! We look forward to seeing you soon!
Fantastic experience: Visited the Performance Class today with Coach Nik and had a great time. Great energy, awesome workout! I’ll be back!
Thank you for the review, Kristy! We are happy you were able to come to a performance class with Nik and had a great workout! We look forward to seeing you soon!
Fantastic experience: I started attending performance classes around April 2022. I never enjoyed fitness before AYB! The gym itself is clean and inviting. People are kind and respectful and I know that stems from the example set by the staff. Every trainer is genuinely encouraging and helpful. It's fun to tell people that I love my gym!
Thank you for the review Elisabeth! We take a lot of pride in our facility being clean and welcoming and our culture being kind and respectful, so we appreciate your feedback on that! We love having you at AYB!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going since 2020 & I can’t say enough good things. Cassie has been amazing as my coach & biggest cheerleader. I love the performance classes & the trainers are always encouraging & fun to be around!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Meghan! We are so happy that you are part of our community and have loved seeing you reach so many of your goals on your wellness journey!

Thank you for the review, Ginger! We are excited to hear that your workouts are a highlight of your week and that we are providing a fun and positive way for you to reach your health goals! We look forward to seeing you at the gym!
Fantastic experience: Achieving Your Best (AYB) is hands down the most well-rounded gym I’ve ever been to. The state-of-the-art equipment, pristine facilities, and thoughtful amenities make working out a pleasure. The private changing rooms are perfectly appointed with everything you need—showers, hairdryers, fans, shampoo, and even hair ties, so you never have to worry if you forget something. The trainers are exceptional—knowledgeable, personable, and encouraging. What’s even more impressive is the consistency: there’s been almost zero staff turnover in the 7 years since they’ve opened. The group workouts are perfectly structured, combining weight training, cardio, balance, and stretching. They also offer small group classes focused on weight lifting, core work, and stretching. Every coach makes workouts so much fun, you’ll forget you’re even working out! Cassie, the owner, has created a true community hub. AYB supports local events and really brings people together. The friendships I’ve made here are priceless, and I genuinely look forward to seeing everyone each morning. Their nutrition services are superb, and I’ve also benefitted greatly from their metabolic and VO2 max testing to set and reach my goals. If you’re thinking about joining, run, don’t walk to AYB! You won’t regret it.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We love having you at AYB and we appreciate all of the support and services you have utilized. We look forward to seeing you at the gym soon!
Fantastic experience: The staff all care about helping clients be their best self. Alex is great. He is a truly nice person and an amazing trainer. Cassie has a way of providing motivational feedback and support while still keeping me accountable.
Thank you for your review! You have been working so hard training and building healthy habits to reach your goals! We love having you at AYB!
Fantastic experience: I heard about Achieving Your Best from a friend who has been training at AYB for years. I started attending Performances classes about two months ago, and it’s been such a worthwhile addition to my exercise routine. As someone who has almost exclusively just strength trained for years, incorporating these circuit-training style workouts that get my heart rate up and incorporate movements for balance and core that I had been neglecting, has been a great change of pace. The workouts are challenging yet fun, and I can tell great thought is always put into their design. All of the trainers have been encouraging and helpful, too. I recommend AYB to anyone who is looking for a way to stay motivated and/or change up their current routine, whether you are new to working out or just wanting a new challenge!
Thank you for your review, Corrine! We are so glad that we are offering something that you were missing and we can tell how determined you are to take care of yourself by your consistency and hard work in the gym! Thank you for being part of our community!
Fantastic experience: Started here almost a year ago to increase my mobility and flexibility. Ended up accomplishing that, as well as adding strength and cardio to help my running. Just completed the Bass Pro relay and set a new personal best in my 5k leg at 64 yrs old. Thanks to all the trainers for helping me reach that goal.
Thank you for taking the time to post a review and sharing your story! Wow, what an accomplishment you had at Bass Pro! You looked so strong in the race and it was because you consistently trained on your strength and cardio. We admire your dedication and love having you in the gym!
Fantastic experience: AYB is simply the best. The trainers are amazing and provide a positive environment for everyone. The performance classes are energy packed! The dieticians are so easy to work with and celebrate all of your successes!
Thank you, Anna! You are such a great part of our community and we appreciate you and see your consistent hard work!
Fantastic experience: AYB is my favorite gym I have ever attended. From the welcoming atmosphere, advanced and caring trainers, and the productive workouts- nothing is short of perfection. I have personally been attending this gym since 2018 and couldn't ask for better!
Thank you, Sophia! You have been so consistent and taking time for exercise in your routine! We love having you at AYB!
Fantastic experience: I love AYB’s 5:15am performance class! It’s a great way to get my day started and works with my schedule. I also love the modifications that can be made to accommodate any skill level.
Thank you, Jessie! We work hard making sure that anyone can come in and get some movement in, so we are glad you are noticing that! We love having you at the early morning class-you are starting your day off on a positive note and are a great part of our community! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: AYB is the best investment you can make in yourself! When I started, I was terrified to be in a class...afraid I would be embarrassed or slow everyone down. Each trainer worked with me so that I could get the best workout for ME. They educated and motivated me, and now I'm hooked! If you want to be part of a community that always supports and encourages each other, come join AYB! You will be SO glad you did!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, Vicki! You are consistently working hard and showing up. You stepped out of your comfort zone to come to class and don't regret it! We love having you as part of our community!
Fantastic experience: I found AYB in the fall of 2020 and started one-on-one strength sessions with Jimmie. Four years later, I feel amazing and forget I'm in my forties. This sense of well-being is thanks to Jimmie and owner Cassie's fantastic team of health and fitness experts. I've done one-on-one strength sessions, group performance classes, metabolic testing with Ryleigh, and nutrition planning with Amanda. AYB is more than a gym; it's where you can grow and transform into the best version of yourself.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review, Daniel! We love that you found so much benefit at AYB and we really enjoy having you as part of our community!
Fantastic experience: I love it here. I originally came to work with Jimmie and ended up signing but for the group classes too. It's a great atmosphere , it's clean and really organized. Everyone is really positive and encouraging, the trainers and the members.
Thank you for taking the time to fill out a review, Yankton! We are so excited to hear your feedback about your experience t AYB. You are a positive, hard working and dedicated person and we love having you in our AYB community!
Fantastic experience: Achieving Your Best IS the best! Cassie, the owner, is one of those trainers who genuinely cares about the people who walk through her doors and literally helping them become the best versions of themselves. Her team of instructors are the same way. I’m really enjoying my time here.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Chris! We are so happy to have you in our community at AYB and we are excited to see how far you have already come in your journey. We see all of your hard work and dedication you have to achieve your goals and we are really enjoying having you with us as well! See you in class soon!
Fantastic experience: Great people and expertise. I worked with AYB on nutrition for endurance running and was happy.
Thank you, Eric! We are so glad you were happy with our nutrition and running help!

Thank you for taking time to leave a review Stacy! We really appreciate it and love having you at AYB!
Fantastic experience: AYB is life changing! I’ve been seeing one of the nutritionists for awhile and she has transformed the way I feel and think about food, body image, and fat loss. Every staff member is compassionate, friendly, and truly has your best interest at heart. They have deep ties to the community and always show up for fun, athletic events in town with a great attitude. Their strength and performance classes push you to your limits in the best way possible. Every coach is knowledgeable about exercise and movement but also have a great personality that you enjoy connecting with. The community as a whole is energetic, encouraging and fun! You haven’t tried AYB’s FREE WEEK of classes after reading this review, you are seriously missing out!
We really appreciate this review Rachel! Thank you for being part of our awesome community!
Fantastic experience: I've gone to AYB for about 6 months now. The energy is always positive and all the staff is amazing and super knowledgeable. I would absolutely recommend for anyone looking for a gym!
We are so happy having you at AYB! Thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: Love this place! A very clean gym with high quality equipment. Justin is the best trainer and always pushes me to finish each workout. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Awesome to workout
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We are glad you enjoyed your workout and that you have been coming to class consistently! Great way to end 2022 and we look forward to 2023 with you in our AYB community!
Fantastic experience: Gorgeous space with an amazing and knowledgeable staff. Top-notch nutrition and fitness for all types. Check them out, you won't be disappointed.
Thank you for taking the time to fill out a review, April!
Fantastic experience: I have been training with Tyler for 6weeks now. I wanted to wait a bit before reviewing. Now that I've waited, AYB's 5-start review would be 10 if it were allowed. His workouts have been exactly what I needed both for my physical health and overall well being. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an effective, personally tailored fitness program. If you're looking to get some diet instruction or just general nutritional information, Sara is also amazing. She really listens and helped me put together a plan that is both effective and doable. All around A++++!
Thank you, Chris, for taking the time to leave a review! We are happy that you had a great experience at AYB with Tyler and Sara-they are both awesome and we are so proud of you for putting in so much hard work and getting great results!
Fantastic experience: I called AYB 18 months ago looking for a trainer. I'm experienced in the Gym, but need the accountability of having an appointment. I chose AYB because it was close to my office. I told them what times I needed to work out and asked if they had a trainer available. Pretty soon I was put in touch with their Manager, Tyler. He has been a fantastic fit for my needs and has helped me get stronger and more lean. Tyler is always on-time and very consistent. He seems to know everyone's name! The gym itself at AYB is a very clean facility and all clients and staff are very nice. It is a welcoming environment that makes classes that are accessible to all fitness levels and body types. I highly recommend them!
Thank you for the review Naedrie! We've loved helping you reach your goals and are so glad to hear that you've enjoyed your time here! Keep up all the hard work.
Negative experience: I went in for a consultation because I heard they were a good gym and I was looking to get back in shape after having back surgery a a year ago and the girl I met with told me I’m too much of a liability and recommended I try somewhere else. I would not recommend this gym. When she used those words liability, she made me feel like I wasn’t worth their time.
Hi Kathryn! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and bring this to our attention. Helping our clients achieve their best life is our passion and we strive to provide a great experience for all people. I appreciate you working through this misunderstanding with me personally-thank you!
Fantastic experience: AYB is amazing! Great trainers (Jimmie Strong!), and nutrition experts to help you create a solid plan (Sara!). Facilities are well equipped and clean!
Thank you Chris! It’s great having you at AYB!
Fantastic experience: I joined this gym back in January as part of my journey to get back on track with my fitness goals. I’ve leveraged their nutrition services, performance classes, and some of their testing services. The whole experience has been wonderful, the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The performance programming is well thought out and even works on strengthening muscles groups that are often neglected. Very happy to be part of this gym!
We are happy that you're here! Thanks for the review, Phil, and keep up the GREAT work.
Fantastic experience: I started at this gym a little over a year ago & I'm still loving it, still challenged, and never bored with the workouts. All the instructors are super knowledgeable, engaging, fun, & push you without being pushy. The environment is clean, welcoming, and they have just about every piece of equipment at your disposal.
Thank you for the review Beth! We are so happy to have you as a part of our gym family.
Fantastic experience: I have never felt so comfortable in a gym environment before. All the trainers are encouraging and welcoming even if they haven’t worked with you before. It feels like such a safe and positive environment when I can walk in and not be worried about what others think of where I’m at on my fitness journey but knowing that all staff and other patrons will be there to support me.
Thank you Melanie! So glad to hear that you feel comfortable and excited to work out here. We are excited to continue to see you grow in your health and fitness journey!
Fantastic experience: Great staff and fun environment! They really focus on form and client safety
Thank you Kylee! We are so happy that you are part of our AYB Community-see you soon!
Fantastic experience: Love the atmosphere and staff. Have worked with their nutrition and training staff and they’re both professional and welcoming. Very happy to have found them!
Thank you Stephanie! We are so happy to have you with us!
Fantastic experience: This place has helped me so much with strength, I was in a rut with running and knew I needed to get into some cross training to help. Let’s just say the trainers are incredible and have helped me with exactly what I needed to better my running and myself.
Thank you Jordan! Cross-training is a great way to improve your running, help prevent injuries and be more well rounded in your fitness! We are so happy we have helped you and we love having you at AYB!
Fantastic experience: If you haven’t been to Achieving Your Best (AYB), stop what you’re doing right now and go! It’s a friendly, encouraging, pristine gym with a knowledgeable, kind, and professional staff. (Not an intimidating environment at all) I love spending each morning and some lunch hours with my gym friends, which include the instructors, who know everyone by name. The workouts are do-able for every age and all fitness levels. Even my teenage kids agree, that the workout kicks their booties. And if you’re injured or just getting back into a fitness routine, the instructors freely offer up modifications without judgement. The workouts incorporate strength, core, cardio and balance. Yes, all of this all takes place in a 45 minute class. There is never an “off day” when the workouts don’t impress. And if you’re in a rush to get somewhere after your workout, they have well-appointed bathrooms complete with towels, razors, hairdryers, shampoo, etc. And if you don’t have time to for breakfast or lunch, grab some complimentary fruit on your way out the door. If that’s not enough reason to go, they also are philanthropic and support those in need in the community and participate in numerous charity events. Don’t wait another day; get to AYB today. You’ll be surprised about the strength and fitness you can gain in just a few weeks!
Thank you for the great review, Alison! We are happy that we can provide a great place for you to reach your goals and make you feel at home! See you soon at AYB!
Fantastic experience: Group class instructors are very knowledgeable and make sure everyone is doing the exercises correctly. The instructors know everyone’s name and makes everyone of all fitness levels feel very comfortable in class.
Thank you, Brenda! We are so happy that we can provide a place that has professionals who help keep you safe and accommodate all fitness levels! We look forward to seeing you soon at the gym!
Fantastic experience: AYB is my favorite places in town. The best gym in Springfield, hands down. The trainers are professional, positive and friendly. They get to know you and push you to be your best while protecting from injury at the same time. Each workout is easily adjusted to every fitness level. The variety of clients is fun and inspiring.
Thank you Kerry! We are happy to have you at AYB and are glad we can provide a place that is professional, positive and gets results!
Fantastic experience: I love AYB! We workout with Dre on Saturday’s and he always kills it and us (in a good way )! The gym has all the equipment you could need and more! All the trainers are always so friendly!
Thank you Amanda! We are so happy that you are getting in great workouts with Dre!
Fantastic experience: I can hardly say enough fabulous things about Cassie Dimmick and what she offers at Achieving Your Best. I work with Cassie for nutrition, and her guidance, wisdom, and encouragement have been paramount in helping me navigate my health and athleticism. Not only is Cassie well educated on nutrition, fitness, wellness...but she stays up to date on the latest "trends" and insight into those ever shifting fields so that she can provide her clients with the most up-to-date and SOUND guidance. She approaches each person as the individual they are, with the goals and unique needs they bring...and guides them with a non-dogmatic and compassionate hand. Truly, Cassie is a professional of quality. Additionally, I will comment on the fact the facility at AYB is clean, welcoming, and the gym = beyond equipped for your fitness needs. More importantly, the kindness and care of the crew at AYB (from the desk staff to trainers...especially that Jess girl ;)) is refreshing!
Thank you, Rachel! We are so happy that we can provide nutrition guidance that is up to date and based in science! We love having you at AYB and look forward to seeing you soon!
Fantastic experience: I have worked with Cassie on my nutrition goals. She is easy to work with and tailored a plan specifically for me!
Thank you Andrea! We are glad we can help you with a plan that works well for you!
Fantastic experience: AYB has everything I could ever ask for: small group classes, strength training, and nutritional services. Every trainer at the gym is personable and professional. They always take the time to explain every exercise and will provided one-on-one attention when needed. The workouts change on a daily basis so each time it’s something new and challenging! I’ve worked one-on-one with Alix for nutrition and she’s amazing! She’s provided detailed information and a plan that is specific for me and my tastebuds. It’s worth it - give it a try!
Thank you Jada! We are so happy to have you at AYB and we are glad we can offer all of the services to help you reach your goals!
Fantastic experience: I have seen the Registered Dietician and Personal Trainers for several years. She created a nutrition plan that is tailored to my goals and preferences. I would highly recommend AYB to anyone!
Thank you Shelby! We are glad we can help you reach your goals!
Fantastic experience: AYB is awesome! I have worked with Cassie for over a year with my nutrition and the results I have seen have been incredible. I feel better, I look better, and my workouts are more explosive. Thank you AYB!
Thank you Bradley! It has been so great to work with you and we are happy that we have been able to help you feel better, look better and have better workouts!
Fantastic experience: I was introduced to AYB by my chiropractor and running coach, Dr. Marshall Reed. I was struggling with my nutritional needs for my level of running and competition. My body fat percentage got way too low, and I was having health complications because of it including injuries. Cassie at AYB has helped me to get back to a healthy place and answer a lot of my nutrition and fitness questions from causes of digestive issues to what's going to be the best way for me to get what my body needs. I trust her abilities and knowledge to get me there not only because we have come so far in such a short time, but because she really knows her stuff. It’s been quite the journey and I could not have gotten where I am or even fathom where I’m going if it weren’t for AYB’s help. I highly recommend them for all your health and fitness needs. ❤️
Thank you Kristen! We are so happy to help you on your journey to reach your goals!
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about the staff at Achieving Your Best. I have been going there for over a year and I have had amazing results. The staff is excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable. The technology they use for Nutrition is very cool and easy to use. The gym is busy, but well organized and has everything you could think of using. If you are on the fence about whether to call, don't be. It is worth the time and effort.
Thank you Matt! We are happy to have you in our AYB community and we love working with you!
Fantastic experience: The trainers are the best and they get to know you personally so they can challenge you individually and bring about the best version of you. They care on a personal level and approach wellness from a holistic standpoint which optimizes the client’s fulfillment and results. This is a second home and an encouraging, welcoming place to look forward to.
Thank you, Erica! We are glad we can help you reach your goals in an encouraging, welcoming place that feels like home!
Fantastic experience: AYB is more than a gym, it’s a community of people. The trainers are great, the nutritional support is the very best, and the workouts are diverse and challenging.
Thank you Stacy! We are happy to have you in our AYB community! We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review! See you soon in the gym!
Fantastic experience: AYB is by far the best place to work out at...Best trainers, best music and best people!
Thank you Chastidy! We are happy to have you as part of our AYB community and we really appreciate your review!
Fantastic experience: Probably the best gym in the world. Equipment is all like new and well maintained. Facility is always extremely clean, including the showers and restrooms. But it is the trainers that make the place special. Every one of them is knowledgeable and enthusiastic. They are very helpful and do a great job modifying exercises if you have an injury. They all really seem to care about helping you progress and avoid injury. Because of this, I believe they attract a clientele that helps to enhance the welcoming atmosphere. If you are seeking a gym that will help you with your total wellness, I think you’d have trouble finding a better place.
Thank you, Karl! We appreciate your review and are so happy to have you at AYB! We are glad that we can provide a great experience for you and we will see you soon at the gym!
Fantastic experience: My son has been going to AYB and training with Dre for over 2 years. Working with Dre has really improved his strength and endurance both on the basketball court and football field. We highly recommend AYB.
Thank you for your review, Stephanie! We are so happy that Dre has been able to help your son improve!
Fantastic experience: BEST gym hands down! The group classes are the best total body work outs. Add strength class in a few days a week and you have a perfect combo. Trainers know their stuff. They focus on form and doing it correctly vs high weight. Anyone with injury or limitations are still able to complete classes because of their ability to quickly modify any movement.
Thank you, Mary! We appreciate your review and are happy we can provide a place to exercise that encourages good form and offers adjustments for different abilities and injuries.
Fantastic experience: Great place to workout. The classes are well balanced and varied and the instructors are enthusiastic and great at cueing accurate movement.
Thank you, Melanie! We are happy we can provide a great environment for you to achieve your goals! Thanks for being part of our AYB Community!
Fantastic experience: AYB is the best! I love the group fitness classes. They give me the full body workout I need in a clean, friendly, fun environment. All the trainers are knowledgeable and helpful. Not only are they a gym, they also offer nutritional services to help your overall health. Check them out!
Thank you Amanda! We are happy we can give you a facility that is clean, friendly and fun with professionals that can help you along the way. We are so happy to have you at AYB!
Fantastic experience: Not just another gym... AYB is not just another gym that is on every corner...AYB offers classes that can be taylored to every age and fitness level. A trainer is present to work individually as needed to help each person scale up or down according to what their goals are. Its also a no judgement zone. You will find ages from 18-60+ in many classes, evidence that this is a place focused on what you need, not a competition to crush others. Working out with others is intimidating, lets be honest. Its hard to put yourself out there, but other patrons respect people for where they are and are encouraging. No fitness shaming, here. If you are hesitant, I would encourage you to give in two weeks...show up and do YOUR best, talk to the trainers about your challenges and then watch the change internally and externally that occur.
Thank you Colleen! We are so happy that you feel this way about us, because that is exactly what we are about! We love having you at AYB!
Fantastic experience: I appreciate the teaching as well as the work. When I have questions the instructors are very helpful. My dietitian is patient and encouraging. Very respectful!
Thank you for leaving a review, Carolyn! We are so glad to have you at AYB!
Fantastic experience: AYB is a top shelf gym!! The instruction we receive for each class is excellent. They care about lifetime fitness and health and make sure the classes are safe and FUN! We started with dietician services and now my husband and I are all in! Feels like family at AYB!
Thank you Wendy! We are so happy to have you as part of our AYB family!
Fantastic experience: AYB has provided me with an awesome place to work out with knowledgeable instructors and a great facility. The workouts are different every time, and they are always challenging ! The best part is the one on one instruction you get :) I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get in shape.
Thank you for taking the time to fill out a review! We really appreciate it and love having you at AYB!
Fantastic experience: What a great place to get healthy! I love the nutrition guidance, the group classes and strength - I couldn't ask for better help!
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: The Pilates here has helped with my back rehabilitation tremendously!
That's great Jennifer! We are so happy that we could help your back rehab! Thanks for leaving a review!
Fantastic experience: My 17-year-old injured herself during cross country season, requiring surgery, and as she was returning to running, reinjured herself. We realized it was time to look at all aspects of her recovery, including nutrition, to make sure she was doing everything she could. With Cassie Dimmick’s knowledge in nutrition, and being a runner herself, she knew exactly what my daughter needed to fuel her body for recovery and to get back into prime running shape. Not only did Cassie help my daughter exceed her goals—lowering her body fat percentage, increasing lean muscle mass—she taught her the importance of eating well-balanced, nutrition dense meals. My daughter is running again, and she is thrilled with her leaner physique.
That is great Laura! We are so happy that we could help your daughter reach her goals! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: The best of the best! From nutrition to personal training to group training, they do it all and they do it all really well. The gym is clean, spacious, and has a variety of equipment. They truly care about the well-being of their clients and the whole community. Highly recommend for all of your nutrition and fitness needs.
Thank you! We strive to provide the best services to our community, and we appreciate you taking the time to review us!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility with an amazing staff!
Thank you for the review, Aimee! We really love having you at AYB!
