APE ARENA

Joining Ape Arena has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re welcomed like family. Everyone—from the coaches to the members—creates such a supportive and uplifting atmosphere that you can’t help but feel right at home. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and truly dedicated to helping you succeed. Whether it’s improving your technique, pushing you past your limits, or simply keeping you motivated, they’re always there to guide and encourage you. You can tell they genuinely care about your progress and want to see you grow. What really stands out are the workouts. They’re designed in 6-week segments, each with a clear goal in mind, so you always feel like you’re working toward something tangible. On top of that, they offer challenges that go above and beyond. These challenges come with extra guidance on nutrition and detailed body metrics to help you track your progress and stay on track. The value you get at Ape Arena is unmatched. It’s more than just a gym—it’s a community, a source of inspiration, and a place where you see real results. For anyone looking to invest in their health and fitness, this is the place to be!!!

Ape offers group fitness classes based on physiological research with a focus on proper Olympic weightlifting. The atmosphere is supportive & friendly. Bilingual English/Spanish instructions. I love that there are no high-fives or chant at the end of each class like other clubs. Show up, pay attention to the instructions and do your best to lift properly!

When I joined Ape Arena I was extremely out of shape, lazy, unmotivated, and had a terrible diet. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I joined but it turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. At the Ape, you don’t just get expertly designed workout routines, personalized nutrition coaching, and top of the line equipment. You will also be taking part in an uplifting culture that will allow you to experience a complete shift in your mindset. Everyone is kind, encouraging, and just wants to see each other do well. That includes the other members, the amazing coaches, and the incredible staff. It took me a lot of time to realize that if you can set goals for yourself and stay consistent with your diet and showing up to classes, Ape Arena will take care of the rest. I have never felt as physically and mentally good as I do now and I will always be grateful to Ape Arena for guiding me to where I am in my health and fitness journey.

Vouch for it!!! Went there with the intention not to drop one more fitness program in my life. The proposal was reasonable, the workout extremely transformative both in the mind and in the body (exercise, food, mindset...). Trainers are the bomb, diverse in race, gender, age, build and training, personalities etc. I guess you can find anything you need. This place is straight talk, no BS. Hard work and pushing your own limits. Yet, they are flexible, they give you latitude to be you and get to your objectives in your own time/pace. They follow you progress, call you during the week to check in, give valuable food regimen advice and tip, help you with food plans/prep if you need, sell stuff on site (gear, drinks.../...), and get you motivated for they extra-curricular activities. It's everything they promise and advertise. Sessions are early morning, and later evening. Music is a blast - LOL! I made a bunch of super encouraging friends (older, younger, all age, race, objectives, weights and SES), they have a facebook community that supports the hell out of you, and some weekend competitions and workouts to keep you engaged and entertained. If you drop, it just means you wanted to. Note to vegans: they don't have a specific vegan food plan BUT, they referred me to very specific products that were the best I had ever tasted and used. They also have meal plans that you can adapt, and a list of food you can use, or substitute. You just have to do a bit more homework to find your right groove (I guess just like everybody else!!). I found my groove, I worked it out, and I shared my findings on our FB community to help other vegetarian/vegans coming after me. After I finished my 6 weeks and saw the results (in my head, in my routine, in my body), I decided to continue, invest in myself and reach some specific goals for myself. These guys know what they are doing, they do it well, and they keep you safe. If you trust them, you'll see results. Just try it out.

I absolutely love leaving reviews for business that deserve it! APE Arena is one! I have been coming to this gym for almost two months now! (Time does fly!) I started because I knew that my success in a gym depended greatly on the community I was surrounded by. In the past I had lost weight both at the gym and other methods. So I came in for a challenge, initially just wanting the community to help me keep accountable as I struggled to keep attending in the past when I wasn’t held accountable to anyone. When the cat’s away, the mice will play, type of thing! I knew my worst energy was myself because it wasn’t necessarily that I didn’t know what to do, it was more of me bypassing the essentials for comfort. WELL my experience has been beyond different than I expected! The workouts are absolutely horrible! 😉jk they’re absolutely phenomenal! It’s as if a mad man (or woman) came up with them! All the coaches are madly in love with the success of their clients aka gym family! I have gotten my butt kicked almost every workout! And if I didn’t it was probably because I went too light. But don’t worry, there is always someone watching 👀and you learn to not cheat yourself! My personal favorite was that when I signed up we were doing PRs! I had no idea what it was but surely I was helped and I did more weight than I thought I could! I felt alive! It has been very rewarding to be surrounded by such humble and crazy people! Crazy in a good way! Everyone is on a different path but same journey! It’s been so nice, and I am 1000% happy i stopped by! I had seen the gym on my drives home but thought it was a CrossFit gym of which I wasn’t ready. It was in FB that I then saw the 6 week challenge and used it as a Segue to start making positive changes in my life! I have a son, and he inspired me to start doing something about my health! To be surrounded by family who have to take pills, always hurting and I myself always feeling like I could barely move was where I drew the line. I’m only 34 to be feeling like I’m an unhealthy 80 year old. I encourage any person, regardless of current condition to come in and give it a try! You’ll love it!
