Love this gym! From the moment I joined they took time to hear my goals and desires. The members are welcoming and encouraging. Working out is so much more than just the 4 walls of a building, it’s a community and that is what this place is!

I really cannot say enough good things about this gym!! I have been going for almost 2 months now & it was hands down one of the best decisions I could have made. I honestly have never loved working out more. The Restoration community is so welcoming & supportive & something that I’ve grown to love. The coaches are also phenomenal - they know how to challenge & help you reach your full potential but also encourage & uplift you along the way. Matt & Cissie are also some of the most genuine, down to earth, caring, & trustworthy people you will meet. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this place, I 100% would recommend it to anyone & everyone who has any sort of health or fitness goals 💪

Cissy has been extremely helpful to me to be able to reach some of my personal goals. She has been patient and worked with me to make some life style changes that I have been needing to change. I would highly recommend them.

I loved working with both Matt and Cissi. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, sweet, and has helped get closer to my goal than anything I was doing before. She has helped me learn what my nutritional goals are and has helped me with properly sustaining them. I worked out with Matt a few times but even those times he was really determined to make sure I was doing the exercises correctly and super compassionate about my limitations. These two are the real deal and honestly some of the best people to work for. I would suggest them to anyone who is looking for a nutrition specialist as well as a personal trainer at Restoration Fitness.

I started working out with Matt and being coached on my nutrition by Cissie about 4 weeks ago. They are awesome, I highly recommend this gym and the service they provide. 4 weeks in and I feel the difference in my energy, my body and mobility. Matt drives me a lot to work out and become better and Cissie keeps me accountable in my nutrition they are big help and thank full!

I joined Restoration in Nov 2020 when I was looking for a smaller, more personalized gym experience, along with trying the CrossFit format...I wasnt sure what it was, but I thought it would be good to get into a class setting where I could get some guidance on exercises rather than me figuring things out on my own (and likely not doing a very good job with form and keeping things safe for my body). My selection priorities were:--- good coaching/guidance in a variety of exercises--- smaller format -- I wasnt interested in being one of 15/20+ people in a class--- polite, encouraging community of real people--- nice, local small business owners to support the local community--- broad class schedule that could adapt to my fluid work scheduleI checked a couple of the other gyms out online, and chose to visit Matt and Cissie at Restoration first. After my initial meeting, I didnt need to go anywhere else -- I knew Restoration was THE PLACE for me.Matt started me out with three introductory private training sessions to learn the fundamental movements and get oriented to the Cross Fit format. I wasnt so sure, but I trusted Matt and that was a great way to get new people started and oriented in so I could follow right along in class.Classes are organized very well, Matts formula (and the other coaches, Cissie and Josh) for classes is very consistent and easy to follow. Small class sizes guarantee personalized attention and guidance during the workout to maintain form, prevent injury, and maximize exertion/results. We always start out with stretching to get warmed up appropriately, then a FULL EXPLANATION of the days workout...complete with demonstrations of proper form for each exercise and pitfalls and common mistakes that people tend to make. We then have our class -- with the coaches in constant movement to observe the form of each and every person in the class. Classes are always small enough that you get this individual attention each and every time. When were done (which usually involves me picking myself up off the floor...), we all pitch in to clean up our areas and equipment with disinfecting spray and then have a group stretch to cool down.I forgot to mention that the music Matt plays during workouts is AWESOME! Ive expanded my music library as a direct result of Shazam and Matt! :o)In 2021, Matt also has started quarterly focus areas with benchmarking (e.g., cardio), so you can see how you have improved over the quarter.Ive been back to my home in St. Louis and have tried a couple of gyms there when Im back in STL, and honestly -- none of them compare to the experience I receive at Restoration. The difference is usually in the people, and the gyms in STL that Ive been to are larger and have a variety of coaches to lead large classes. Depending on your coach, you can have a good experience and a not-so-good experience. But you *ALWAYS* get a great experience at Restoration and Matt, Cissie, and Josh work hard to give specific, personalized, friendly, and encouraging guidance to each and every customer.Thanks Restoration Team for changing my life!

I have been going to this gym since it first opened. It has been life changing for me. I’ve lost over 30lbs since I’ve been at restoration fitness. The atmosphere the coaches create and the workouts we get to do are life changing and would recommend this gym to anyone needing and wanting results.

I don’t think there is a better business out there than what Restoration is doing. They are personal, kind, and always in my corner. It’s like they combine counseling and nutrition coaching. I fully entrust my results to them.

Matt and Cissie Wetmiller are definitely a dynamic duo! I joined a month ago and have followed both the nutrition and fitness coaching they have provided. My results are great so far, but most importantly- I feel better, stronger and happier! The workouts are fun! The small class size makes it easy to get personalized attention and feel comfortable . I cannot recommend Restoration enough! They are changing my life one day at a time!

Review №16

In mid-October 2020 I made  a snap  decision one morning to find a gym, because I knew I had to do something drastic to improve my fitness. I also needed to stop my insidious weight gain that had been going on for a few years that I couldnt get a handle on by myself. I have a long history with gyms over the last 40 years, but they have all been larger, corporate ones- low cost, for sure, but not much guidance- and since I am now over 60, I recognize I need a more hands-on experience. The first gym that came up on my search for gyms near me was Restoration Fitness, owned by Matt and Cissie, and I absolutely havent looked back.  In the last 7 months I have gone from being barely able to do a quarter squat to easily doing full squats; my muscle and joint aches are diminished, due to a heightened fitness level; and I have lost close to 30 lbs thanks to the nutrition guidance available to me.  Matt, as a coach, has been great for me because he is able to determine when I truly cant do something versus I simply am not trusting myself to accomplish the movement. I opt to do regular private training sessions with him, in addition to group workouts. He knows I truly enjoy weightlifting, so he designs workouts incorporating those elements in addition to cardio, which I appreciate. In Cissie I have found a nutrition coach who has great tips when I come up against something I am not quite sure how to handle, and she does a great job of watching over my shoulder to make sure I dont go off course. At my age weight loss is even a greater struggle than it ever was before, but I am within a few months of being the lightest I have been in 35 years, thanks to her guidance. The gym community itself is a mix of ages and personalities, from college students to some very fit former college athletes and even a few grandmas like me, which I love. At all times it is a fun group of people to workout with. And, of importance to me- absolutely a no shame zone; instead, we cheer on each other is the norm, as it should be.    If you are looking for a close, intimate environment full of people who are open and friendly but serious about their workouts, lead by an insightful trainer who has your best interests at heart, coupled with a nutrition coach who will walk side-by-side with you during your weight loss journey, this is your place.

The community in the gym itself is amazing, and the workouts are super fun and they will definitely kick your butt, but you will see the results of the hard work! Best place for any person regardless on what fitness level they are at, you will always feel welcomed at Restoration Fitness!

Matt and Cissie have done an amazing job creating a very welcoming yet difficult training environment. Each class is tailored to push every individual, regardless of training level or experience.Small class sizes which allows the trainers to focus on individuals specific needs and goals.Did a lot of research on different gyms and all it took was a sit down discussion with Matt and Cissie to understand their vision and goals for myself- highly recommend this gym to anyone!

I love how the coaches really WATCH members during workouts to correct mistakes they may be making, which helps to avoid injuries. It also ensures that each of us is pushing ourselves at the proper intensity level, making it possible to get the most out of the workout while avoiding overdoing it.

Restoration Fitness (virtually) is PERFECT for me! My coach, Cissie, is soooo encouraging! She tailors my workouts for me - age, ability, fitness, etc., and I so appreciate the approach of “NO one size fits all.” Being virtual allows me to be flexible with location and workout times, yet I still have access to my coach anytime I need help. Cissie is SUPER about quickly answering my texts/calls for assistance! Restoration Fitness has been a gift for this old gal trying to get/stay fit!! Yay for me!

I love working out at Restoration! The group environment is so encouraging and pushes me much farther physically than when I would work out on my own. I’ve lost over 16lbs since starting with them in December, due to their workouts and nutrition guidance! Highly recommend!

Review №40

The biggest difference maker between Restoration Fitness and other Crossfit organizations is its people. Matt and Cissie are beyond a shadow of a doubt two of the most sincere, driven Christians one could have the privilege to know. As a coach and trainer, Matt takes individual attention to his athletes more seriously than others Ive known. Other gyms, you walk into a box, jump in the group, and basically throw yourself into a one size fits all WOD. Matt is on the floor with you, calling out individual form improvements, encouraging each person individually while still offering a challenging workout. And the workouts ARE challenging. Ive left each one dripping with sweat, but knowing more than when I walked in about the exercises, the WODs, and about my own capabilities. If youre looking for a change from your typical, this is where you want to be.
