Fifth Row Lifting Company is by far the best gym in Eau Claire for several reasons! One of my favorite things about it is the convenience. No more walking around a gym trying to figure out what I should do. Every day I walk in and Ryan has a super effective 50 minute workout planned out for everyone. I also love how diverse the people are. There are people of all different fitness levels there, and I promise you will fit in no matter who you are. I’ve been to several different gyms and I have never found one that works so perfectly for me until Fifth Row. I have never felt so strong and healthy. I am SO glad I found this place.
Ive been going to this gym for about 4 months, and I love it! This is the only place I have found that emphasizes weight lifting in its classes, and its exactly what I was looking for. I am feeling stronger, Ive lost weight, and I feel more confident. Ryan, the owner, is friendly and you can tell he really cares about his clients. Hes been helpful in areas of nutrition and lifting form, so I can do my best. Highly recommend!
5th Row Lifting Company is the best!!! Ryan has great energy and will make time for members of all fitness levels. The workouts are challenging for all levels, but the program is easy....show up put in the effort and you will see results. No thinking or planning required. All the members are friendly and helpful. Never any sideways looks or comments from anyone. The only person you need to compete with is yourself, to get stronger with every workout.
A gym for all folks; every level of fitness. 5th Row Lifting Co will elevate your level of fitness with purposeful training sessions, built to keep you engaged and wanting more. The atmosphere inside the new facility is welcoming and the members are encouraging; always rooting for you to improve. I’m hooked!
Ryan is a great trainer. I have never made it this long at a gym, I always got bored and didnt have the desire to go. Its been over a year and I lost a little over 44lbs and will continue to crush it to my goals. 💪💪
I started going to Pinehurst Fitness about a month ago. I have never felt so motivated and had the drive to work out. I look forward to going now and I don’t even dread getting up at 4:30 for the 5am work out, I look forward to it!!!! Ryan has great communication is very flexible and just all around a nice guy!!! I feel like I fit in and a have new family that holds me accountable and pushes me. The laughter and positivity is also a plus!! Highly recommend!!
Ryan’s the best - always accommodating, pushes you to safely meet your goals, and makes workouts fun. Convenient app-based schedules, and great setup in his training studio. Highly recommend!
5th Row Lifting Company is a great gym for anyone looking to become stronger and lead a healthier life. Besides an experienced trainer and lots of different equipment, there is a team of other members who encourage growth and excellence. The focus is always strength which is exemplified by the big basic lifts and complimented by cardio, core and some unique moves to offer a very balanced, thorough and tough workout.
Walking through the door for the first time was the hardest part. Mainly because the last time I worked out was running laps and learning the Fox Trot in high school. I’ve always walked, love walking. But strength training, not so much. Im glad I finally tried it. The people in my first class were encouraging and made me feel comfortable because they were regular joes like me.Now 7 months later I would not have guessed I would still be working out. Because the people, the atmosphere and the variety of workouts keeps me coming back. I like not knowing what the workout will be until I walk in the door. Best door Ive ever walked through!Ryan has a great place with great people...everyday, real people. Best gym in Eau Claire.
Best workout, best trainer, best people! Feel at home from day one.
Pinehurst Fitness is truly one of a kind, and like no other place in the area. For once I feel as though I am able to stick to a routine and am seeing amazing results. Ryan (owner/trainer) goes above and beyond anyone I have ever worked with. His patience and ability to motivate everyone at his gym is truly a gift. Working out is no longer a chore, and I look forward to all of my sessions. All of the members are awesome to work with and it’s truly a team effort during the group sessions. This place has truly changed my entire outlook of health/fitness and I can honestly say that I’m a lifer! Thank you Ryan for making this place what it is!! Love it!!!!!
I’ll start with, if you are not working out here you should be! Ryan (owner/trainer), the variety of the workouts and the people make this gym amazing. I’ve been active my whole life up through playing competitive sports in college but have never been at gym I loved going to. My personal journey at Pinehurst started about 7 months post-baby-number-2. I was in a fitness rut and decided to I wanted to try a personal trainer for more accountability. I started doing one on one sessions two mornings a week with Ryan and then moved to the group sessions after about 6 months. Every single person I’ve met at Pinehurst is so awesome and supportive it really makes going to the workouts a fun experience. I’ve now been going for almost a year and half and I’ve never felt better (physically and mentally!) or stronger. Highly recommend!
Never in my life did I think I would be excited to go to the gym! Ryan and all the people that make up the Pinehurst community, are motivating, inspiring, fun and welcoming. I was never much of a gym person before, I always tried but never knew how to push myself, so Id never get results and Id quit. This isnt your regular big chain gym. Ryan is there every step of the way, leading every session with a smile, keeping you motivated and in check, in a fun, laid back atmosphere. He wants to see you hit your goals. All the clients want to see you hit your goals. Its the go to place for people of all fitness levels. I am so glad I found Pinehurst when I did, seriously a life changer.
A successful gym motivates you not just to hit your own fitness goals, but to celebrate the progress that everyone around is making as well. Pinehurst fitness helps you by not just holding you accountable to the goals you set for yourself, but also holding you accountable to your group and your peers who are all struggling just like you. I joined Pinehurst a year ago and have enjoyed significant progress on every fitness goal I had made and along the way met some amazing people that continue to motivate me to push myself. Ryan has not just built an amazing concept of the old fashioned-push-iron gym, but he also teamed that with the new era of group fitness, and along the way he has built a community of good people. If you are looking for a place to not only get fit, but be consistently challenged, this is your place.
I am not even sure where to start.....I have never been able to stick to any sort of fitness routine in all of my life. I had a friend beg me to do a 2 week trial at Pinehurst Fitness 9 months ago. I said yes and I started my 2 week trial. I have done this with other gym/fitness programs in the past. I do the 2 weeks and then I end up purchasing a membership because, lets face it, I need to it. I can barely finish a work out or a set, but others around me can. I feel like, if I just keep coming, I will get there too? This usually lasts about 3 months and then life gets in the way, I dread going to the gym. I can never find a rhythm and I usually rely on my friend who made me join to keep me accountable. At some point, I lose motivation, the friend loses motivation and I just stop going. Pinehurst Fitness is different. Ryan (owner) runs his gym differently. Ryans approach is all about the members. When I first started, it didnt matter if my friend to made me join was there or not, he always welcomed me as they walked in and ALWAYS introduces you to everyone else. With busy work schedules/kids/life, we all workout at different times of the day, different days and there are never the same members in each group workout. You have the opportunity to meet a lot of members and everyone is very friendly. Speaking of kids...you can bring them with! No joke. So there is no excuse of, I didnt have a sitter or I have to pick up my kids from daycare/school and cant make it to the gym. Just bring them with! Ryan trains members of all different fitness levels. It still amazes me most days. You will see members all different shapes/sizes/ages. Ryans gym is a like big family. Everyone is there to support everyone else. Needless to say, its been a wild ride for the past 9 months. I actually want to go the gym--I never thought I would ever say that. Everyday is something new and different. We are all very busy and its nice to show up, execute 50 minutes of a planned workout and you can leave feeling accomplished. No thought on your part and that is what I struggled with for years. I owe it to Ryan and Pinehurst Fitness for making this click for me! I am so thankful I found this gym and all the members that go along with it!
Great space and community!
Ryan is awesome! Super easy to work with and we can schedule appointments on his app right from our phone. With my fiance and my busy schedule he makes it so easy to get us in for our workouts. He listens to our goals and makes things fun..
Ive been to the other gyms in town before. Most of them you are on your own to do your exercises and lacks motivation. With the trainers here they are there encouraging you to push harder. Plus the added yoga bonus is quite awesome!!!
Pinehurst Fitness isnt a typical gym. Thank goodness, as there are plenty of those to pick from. Pinehurst is more like a community, made up of all ages and fitness levels with different goals. Ryan will work with you to help you achieve your own personal goal. The groups are friendly and welcoming, and I consider everyone there a friend I know I wouldnt have stuck it out for 2 years if it werent for all the great people, and Ryan.
Great place to work out. If you feel like going to the gym on your own is not producing the results you want I highly recommend PineHurst Fitness. I love the group classes, you can use weight you feel comfortable with while still pushing yourself every class. There is an easy to use app to sign up for the multiple classes they hold daily. Everyone is very welcoming and after attending for 6 weeks, Ive seen results, I feel better mentally and I see familiar faces every day and met some great people. There is a 2 week free trial- no obligations to come try out the fitness center. If you prefer to be one on one there are also individual personal training classes you can sign up for as well.
I have been going to Pinehurst since it opened. Ryan was my personal trainer and now, Ive changed it up and have been training with Jessie. I love the personal attention and the Pinehurst Family feel. Unpretentious, custom training for whatever youre needing. I highly recommend if youre looking for group fitness and/or personal training.
I was always very fit and athletic growing up. Over 4 years in college I gained about 65 pounds and completely stopped working out. I was intimidated by most gyms and couldn’t find anything that worked for me or kept me accountable. The amazing reviews are what first attracted me to Pinehurst Fitness, and now, after almost a year at pinehurst, I can confirm the hype is real!The atmosphere of the gym is welcoming to people from all fitness backgrounds. Ryan will work with you to accomplish your goals no matter what they are, he will keep you accountable when you need some motivation, and the other members will push you to do your best. I can’t see myself seeing the results I am at ANY other gym! I highly recommend Pinehurst!
My mom took me to workout at Pinehurst Fitness over the summer and I loved it. The workouts and studio are both great. Its not a typical gym, its a more personal experience. Very fun and effective place to workout!
My husband and I joined Pinehurst Fitness to find time to workout together. Ryan does group fitness sessions that work with our job schedules and he has given us much more. We enjoy the other people we have met and the encouragement from them. Ryan has challenged our abilities and has encountered us to work hard I encourage you to come to one of his group sessions to get started
Love this place. Ryan is a great trainer and motivator and makes working out fun!The classes are done in a small group setting and each workout is catered to your individual goals, abilities, and limitations.
I have joined many gyms in Eau Claire over the years and have always lost interest. Most trainers with other gyms either push you too hard or not enough. I joined because of my daughter and when I first met Ryan, he was not influenced by my jokes, whining or pretending I was dead. My lifestyle was below sedentary when I started. I found I could work at my own level and proceed when I felt ready. He is there for help and guidance. I think its awesome he doesnt pressure me but enourages without the overuse of you are doing great, when you know your not. I have been going for almost 3 months and I am addicted. Loving the group workouts. ❤ By far, the best gym.
5 Stars all the way! Ryan is great and the people that come into this gym are hard workers. Its great to workout here. I really love it.
Ive been to a couple other places in the area, but found my fit with Pinehurst Fitness. Ryan is great, and the workouts allow you to be a beginner, or walk in having worked out for years. Its a fun environment, where you control how hard you want to push yourself, but Ryan and all the people really motivate you! Theres no contract You can pay a monthly rate, or pay as you go which is great!
I started going to Pinehurst in June. I was pretty sure i would hate it but from day one I was hooked. Ryan cares about his clients but its more like a family. Everyone encourages eachother and helps one another. Ryan truly does care about the people who go there. I highly recommend giving Pinehurst Fitness a try you will be hooked. Thanks Ryan you make a difference.
THE GOLDILOCKS OF WORKOUT PLACES..The workouts are challenging without being over the top. Because of that and because the current customers are welcoming to new people (compared to the intimidation that can come with joining a new gym), most new people who join Pinehurst seem to stay forever. Ive never stuck with a workout regimen in my life until I started here when it opened in 2014 (now June, 2017). The owner has built a culture that is absolutely unique in our area. No matter what group you end up in, on the days you choose to go, somebody in the group will say something to crack everyone up. This is worth trying out.
I started going to workout with Ryan and the group in September and I am still going!! Its very laid back, everyone is super friendly and you get a great workout!!! Ive lost inches and gained muscle and havent felt this good in a long time!!! Ive always had back problems and the workouts have helped my back tremendously!!!
I love peeling myself out of bed for 5am and 6am workouts! Its really fun and challenging to workout in a small group setting with the instructor and other members encouraging you!!
With years of being involved in competitive sports in middle school and high school, I always had an active lifestyle. Even in college, I kept hitting the gym, the track, and the weight room, but bounced around from one fitness facility to another, feeling like I never really found a good fit leaving me feeling bored & unmotivated. After graduating college, I continued to bounce from one local gym to the next; I tried every gym in the Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls area and every workout imaginable. From franchises like the YMCA to small, private local gyms like Highland Fitness and CrossFit, to home videos like T25 and spin classes, I really have done it all. I never felt like I belonged, and with that, I lost motivation, became bored again, and made excuses. That all changed when I joined Pinehurst Fitness in Eau Claire in May 2018. I began pretty discouraged; I was in pretty good shape since I was previously at CrossFit, but I did not like the way I looked or how my clothes fit. I started with 30-minute private sessions, despite having a pretty extensive athletic and gym background, it was still intimidating starting new. Upon my request, Ryan took body measurements so I could hold myself accountable and track my progress. (If I’m being completely honest, I took those measurements because I didn’t have that much faith in yet another gym). Right from the get go, Ryan was so easy to work with, very approachable, easy to talk to, accommodating to my busy schedule, and super professional. He listened to my fitness history, what expectations I had for myself, and my overall fitness and health goals. It didn’t take long and he knew my strengths and my weaknesses, always creating custom workouts for my goals specifically that were new, exciting, and pushed me to be my best. After a few months of private sessions, I jumped into the 1-hour group sessions and felt right at home. Everyone at Pinehurst Fitness is so kind and welcoming. Whether the gym is filled with veterans, newbies, young or old members, it’s always a great variety of people who motivate one another in so many different ways. I’ve been at Ryan’s gym for 6 months now, and I know this is where I belong. Coming in in pretty decent shape, I’ve dropped significant inches, lost weight, but also feel great. More importantly, I firmly believe, is that I feel more inspired and more motivated than I ever have before, and it has a lot to do with the awesome community at Pinehurst Fitness that Ryan has created. Every single person there has their own unique story, their journey that they are on and every member at Pinehurst inspires another member in some way, shape, or form. Ryan has built an incredible gym community not only inside those four walls, but also friendships that never would have existed if it wasn’t for his gym. It’s more than losing inches, weight, toning up, and feeling good about your health, it’s about feeling like you’re a part of something, like you belong.
Ryan is awesome. I love the team atmosphere. I love the workouts and the people I have met. I have gained strength and confidence since coming here.
Ryan is very friendly and an amazing trainer. Highly recommended whether you are just starting out or have been working our a long time.
I have been working with Ryan for a couple of months now. He is great to work with, and really cares about his clients. Something different about Pinehurst is that you dont have to have the PERFECT body and circumstances to come workout here. Come as you are, and leave sweaty!
Ryan is really great and everyone who workouts here seems to love it! He is willing to take extra time to meet his clients needs, and help them bring their workout and body goals to the next level!
If your the type if person who doesnt like working out very much, then COME HERE. This gym isnt a typical gym. You will actually ENJOY your workout and have a great time.
Great atmosphere, and awesome owner! Love coming to every workout and feel great Everytime I leave!
A very motivating and positive atmosphere to meet all your personal fitness goals!
Ryan and Pinehurst is the best! Workout here, and you will never want to stop!
Owner can accommodate someone at any fitness level, great atmosphere and great people.
I enjoyed the noon work out with Ryan. It was challenging, but doable!
My girls said it was nice
Ok
Best trainer in Eau Claire
