STS Performance

Last November of 2024 was my first time to ever step foot into a gym, and it happened to be this one. I was starting at zero so for a year I used one of the personal trainers, Maddie, who’s amazing, to show me the ropes and build a foundation. After one year I decided I’d move on and try a different large chain gym and that was cheaper. It was an awful experience and after two months I came crawling back to STS. It is a little more expensive than the large chain gyms but in my opinion completely worth it. It’s clean and always smells fresh with lots of fresh air, weights are always reracked, dumbbells are always put in the right spot, machine and benches are always cleaned, and Kelley, the owner, will know you by name. It’s smaller but never so crowded that you have to wait and everyone is always willing to work in with you. Definitely recommend this gym!

Such an awesome gym with management that really makes you feel welcome. They have a lot of great equipment to get you right where you wanna be physically. They also got a sauna which I personally enjoy!

This Review is specifically for Kelley & the hands on work he does using structural integration and Rolfing. I do not train at the gym. I would not be exaggerating in saying Kelley Schlager (the owner of STS) has changed my life. I came to him halfway through last year a broken down middle aged martial artist who felt my best days were behind me. I had spent years seeing traditional medical professionals only to be handed around, multiple x-rays and MRIs, blood work…you name it…all frustrating, wasting time and money. Kelley is a master level practitioner in structural integration, his level of knowledge, precision and anatomical understanding feels like an incredibly rare find. He works with intention and a deep knowledge of how the body is designed to function. I came to Kelley not knowing what I was seeking but with multiple misalignments and old injuries that had created compensation patterns over time. Kelley did not simply address symptoms, he systematically restored structural balance. The difference in how my body moves, stabilizes, and holds alignment is profound. He is incredibly dialed in. You can feel the skill in his hands and the intelligence behind his process. This is not generic bodywork, it is expert-level structural correction. I am stronger, more aligned, and more resilient because of his work. My balance has returned, my joints feel like they work better with more cohesion and I think I gained an inch in height after my last session. I have recommended him to every person I know that complains of back, neck, hip, sciatica, “you name it” pain and every single person that has seen him has told me that it made a difference for them as well. Kelley if you’re reading this thank you for helping me back to the kind of life I want to live and saving me from being old before my time. And anyone else reading this because they are in pain or feeling misaligned or chiropractic just isn’t cutting it, don’t wait any longer.

A hidden gem! I’m so glad STS is now on ClassPass. Though I don’t live anywhere close by, this gym is 100% worth visiting if garage style facilities are your jam. Plenty of room to lift, especially during non-busy hours. They also have showers there, so very pleased to know that amenity is available! The owners are so friendly and there is a cute dog that chills with everyone. I’m excited to regularly come here every time I’m in town!

I went to this gym three times for just a day pass. The first time I went the owner’s two dogs charged me barking and didn’t stop until they were on top of me. The second and third times I went during normal business hours in the afternoon around 3pm and there was no one at the front desk for me to check in with. The gym seems to have good equipment, some of which needs repair, but the ownership and staffing leads to an unwelcoming introduction to a new gym.
