STRONGSIDE and their coaches are incredible! Exercising, especially in front of other people and very fit coaches, has been nothing but an overwhelming and nerve wracking concept to me-until I walked through the doors at STRONGSIDE. The coaches are over-the-top warm and welcoming! Shoutout to Alex & Ally because they ROCK!! The people in the classes are friendly and encouraging! It is STRONGSIDE because everyone there is on your side to support you in becoming a better version of yourself! I look forward to the different classes each week! I so appreciate the coaches for working with me to make sure I feel like I am still a success at each workout (even when they modify movements that I am not able to do yet)! STRONGSIDE is truly a fitness community I am so grateful to be a part of while working towards being a better me!

This is the best place all around!! Not only will you get more fit - but you will make some great friends along the way!! All of the skills we learn and practice in here are meant to preserve your quality of life for the long run! Strongside is more than just a gym!

Started going here in January of this year. This is unlike any gym I have every been to. Everyone from the coaches to other members are encouraging you every single time you are there. It is truly a community and not just a gym. They offer modifications to all exercises for all levels. I’m looking forward to another 6 months and more!

Amazing experience. A truly welcoming environment, from staff and members alike, that can help you not only with your fitness goals but your overall well-being. From day one I felt like I had been a member for years! The friendly environment coupled with the coaching / attention to each individual (versus just being a number) keeps you motivated to keep getting better - no matter what fitness background you may have. A refreshing experience compared to many other gyms I’ve been to. I’d give it ten stars if I could!

I get a lot more out of it then a normal gun because it’s a class. It feels like a big family and everybody is so friendly.🙂

Strongside is the best gym around. The coaches, community and atmosphere are all incredible. All are welcomed and encouraged to be their best self.

I have worked out there for 7 years. Great community and coaches. A gym of excellence. I haven’t never been fitter!

I love this gym and community. We have been attending Strongside for 6 months, and I look forward to all the classes! I have made great friends and really challenged myself. Thanks Strongside!

This is my favorite place 💪💪💪❤️

Great community, great atmosphere, great overall experience. You won’t want to go anywhere else!

This place has given me a whole new appreciation for the gym. Great community, great atmosphere, great overall experience. You won’t want to go anywhere else!

I have been coming to Strongside for a month now, Im not going to lie it was very challenging at first and I attended the gym regularly prior. But to be honest I think this is what my body needed was a change, The staff is awesome, and Mitch makes sure youre doing every move correctly and getting the most out of the workouts. The facility is super clean and very organized. Everyone should try it, you will not be disappointed.

Strongside has created an environment for all fitness levels to be successful in reaching their goals.

You dont just gain a fitness community and supportive coach, you gain a family and community at Strongside.

Everyone at this gym is always super helpful and attentive. Always making sure things are sanitized and up to standard in this present COVID world!

Best place ever. It’s the Disneyland of all gyms. So motivating, great community and excellent coaching. Coaches put 100% into each and every member.

Mitch and the rest of the coaches are great! My favorite part about coming to Strongside is the sense of community that we have. Everyone at Strongside supports, pushes and encourages each other every single day to get better. Keep up the great work!

Great Gym ! I had a great workout. Everyone was welcoming and friendly.It felt like a whole bunch of friends working out together. Lots of good quality equipment and really well organized. Coach Mitchell was Great! Looking forward to other workouts at Strongside

Do yourself a favor and check out this gym called Strongside--you will have the time of your life! Coach Mitchel Black is an exceptional leader and motivator in all things fitness. He expertly meets people where they are at, all while leading very well-thought out workouts of the day with an entire class. This place is the real deal where a person can really progress quickly. The environment is extremely friendly, inclusive, and challenging. Most of all, you will have fun! Highly highly recommend; being here is a fantastic experience!

THE best gym in Woodstock. Hands down. The coaching is top notch, the facility rocks, the camaraderie is fun. The results speak for themselves.

Top notch training and great people. I’m in the military and have been to gyms all over the world and it doesn’t get much better than what Strongside has to offer. You won’t be intimidated or feel pressured at all...just an awesome team looking to put in some work. Go meet Mitchel and he’ll set you up with what you need to reach your goals.

I wrote a 5 star review for Strongside 7 months ago. Today I am editing that review. I signed a 6 month contract and thoroughly enjoyed my 6 months at the gym. After my 6 month contract, I wrote 2 e-mails snd sent a certified letter canceling my membership. I was charged for the 7th month and had to contact my bank to block all future charges. I am receiving SEVERAL e-mails a day regarding failure to pay a gym membership that I cancelled!

Super clean gym, great programming, and everyone makes sure you feel welcome from day 1! I couldn’t be happier with the Strongside team!

Mitchel Black is a very involved, personable coach, who ensures his classes are interesting and highly addictive! All abilities are welcome and form is key to success. All the coaches are great, as are the people who attend the classes, and make Strongside a place for all to feel welcome.This place is so full of positivity and motivation, and I’m enjoying getting back into fitness after too long a break!

Hands down the best gym you will ever join. Youre not just getting a good workout, youre getting a family that will support you and lift you up to realize your true potential. Ive been a Strongside member for just over a year now, and although I recently moved and currently live about 45 minutes away from the gym, I still make the drive each and every day because it is completely worth it. Strongside is honestly like a second home. Every coach is extremely knowledgeable and ensures that everyone is practicing good form and adhering to proper safety regulations. Coach Mitchel is one of the most intelligent, well trained and business savvy gym owners out there. He holds every aspect of the Strongisde experience to an extremely high standard, and that is evident from the moment you walk into the gym. Equipment is top of the line and it is always kept clean! Whether youve never worked out a day in your life or youre just looking for a new place to train, Strongside is 100% the best decision you could make!

I ended up here after a long search for the perfect gym. I have definitely found it! Thoughtful programming for individual goals and abilities. Could not reccommend any more highly! My love for this place even made my wife want to join and now she loves just as much as I do.

Coach and members are all super friendly and encouraging. No matter the skill level, everyone does their best. I joined a few months ago and have loved every minute of it.

I’ve been an athlete my entire life and when I go to the gym it feels just like being on a team! Mitchel is great and makes sure you always feel like a priority. Best coach ever!!

I joined Strongside a year ago at age 43. At 44 Im in the best shape of my life. Coach Mitchel Black helps athletes of all fitness levels exceed what they think they are capable. Every week I get better than I was the week before.

I have been at Strongside for close to two months. I have never been in a workout environment that feels so supportive and encouraging. The owner, Mitchell, fosters a great sense of community and it trickles down to all other coaches and people who train. No matter what I have needed “scaled,” I’ve never been made to feel less than. They truly mean it when they say “you vs you” and “be your best self.” I HIGHLY recommend Strongside for EVERYONE who is looking for a place to belong.

A work out like nine I have had before! Love this gym, everyone is welcome no matter, age, size and ability level. Mitch is amazing and loving this place!

Great classes, coaching, and community. Highly recommended!

I absolutely love Strongside!! The coaching is personalized. The people are encouraging. The workouts never get boring. I enjoy getting better each day and seeing everyone be their best self.

Was regularly checking the box at a globo gym when a friend recommended Mitchel and his team. Total game changer. Understanding functional fitness for me - how to best work to reach my goals - has made all the difference. Great people, great atmosphere.

Every time I go to Strongside I feel comfortable, I get a great workout, I’m surrounded by uplifting peers and coaches and I always walk away feeling a little bit stronger. Try it one time, and I promise you will want to come back for more. The training is tailored to your personal needs and your growth is inevitable.

Strongside is so much more than a gym. It’s a place where I’ve met life long friends. It’s a place I go to, to decompress from life’s stresses. It’s a place for my whole family, one in which my kids can learn about a healthy lifestyle and workout with their friends. It’s a community full of support. When one athlete achieves greatness we all do. We all feel the pride! We’re there for each other’s milestones, from birthdays, weddings, babies, graduations and more!! We are a family!

I have been working out in different types of gyms my whole life. This gym is truly special. The Strongside coaching is amazing always watching all the athletes making sure of proper form and cheering us on. The members are welcoming to all ages and fitness levels. I have found an amazing fitness family in Strongside!

I’ve attended numerous functional fitness style gyms and by far Strongside is head and shoulders above the rest! Mitch is the most knowledgeable, proactive, and hands on coach I’ve had. It’s not just functional fitness, but also the all important role of nutrition. He is truly invested in your success and achieving your fitness goals so you can be your best self. He actively watches athletes as they work out making adjustments or scaling as necessary. He will even work with you if injured whether it be rehab or an alternate form of the workout. He is simply the best! You cannot and will not go wrong with STRONGSIDE!

Strongside is simple the best gym there is. It’s more than just a place to come and get fit. It’s a community of people who care about each other and revel in each other’s successes and encourage each other to be the best you can be. I love every day I come to Strongside even when the work is harder than I think I can handle. And I always learn that I CAN handle it because all that requires is giving 100% whatever that 100% looks like that day.

Strongside...I just love it there - along with the energy and encouragement the owner, Mitchell Black brings, setting the standard for everyone else. Great leadership for a very warm and welcoming workout environment. I’ve been to many other gyms/boxes - and Strongside just feels “different”. And by different, I mean - it’s pretty awesome, and I would encourage anyone to check it out!

Been at Strongside almost 5 years. Loved every bit of watching this place grow! Stronger now than I ever was doing two a days in college!

Been to many gyms that offer CrossFit throughout the country. Strongside is by far the best. Mitch is awesome and the people are friendly. If you’re going to any other gym in Woodstock you are likely wasting your time. “Come on down to fitness town!”

Ive been working out with Mitchel over 3 1/2 years and a member at Strongside since it opened over 1 1/2 years ago. I love working out with Mitchel and at Strongside. Mitchel will help you get better whatever your starting point. I am one of the older members and have never been very strong or athletic but I am amazed at what I can accomplish now, both inside and outside of the gym. Regardless of your fitness level, the people at Strongside are there to encourage and support you, it doesnt matter whether you are the strongest and first to complete the workout, or the weakest and last to complete the workout. We all celebrate everyones achievements along the way to becoming a better version of ourselves.

I love this place. The members are personable, committed and consistent. They help me stay accountable. The coach, Mitchell Black, has a sincere desire to help people change their lives and it shows in his dedication, program and especially how intently he listens to his members. I went to a gym but I have seen measurable changes in my fitness, energy, nutrition and overall health since I started Crossfit and not just any Box will do.

Cannot say enough about how much I love this program. So blessed to have the council and encouragement from this amazing trainer!

I would recommend Strongside to any and everyone! I have never had such a GREAT gym experience in my life. I am coming up on almost four months at Strongside and I cannot say enough about how nice and welcoming everyone is! Mitchel is an awesome coach! He does a great job explaining every workout and is ALWAYS open to all my questions! Going to Strongside is always the highlight of my day! Could not have asked for a better gym, coach, or friends!

Mitchel and the whole Strongside family are very welcoming and encouraging. He is really good about scaling the workouts to your individual abilities and gives newcomers all the instruction they need. If you’re looking for a new gym, definitely give Strongside a try.

Garage gyms, commercial gyms, crossFit gyms. Strongside is hands down the best community and fitness facility I’ve ever experienced. Mitchel the founder and owner is the difference maker! You’ve never experienced any gym like this. There’s a reason “it’s your last first time”.come check it out!

The ownership, coaching and community make StrongSide such a special place that I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their life, from a health and fitness, mental and social standpoint. Make yourself better, build confidence and meet some great new friends in the process. That’s what you’ll get at StrongSide! 💪🏻

I found out about Strongside through a friend and have never looked back. After 2 babies in 3.5 years, I’m in the best shape I have been in, all thanks to Coach Mitchel Black and his insane drive for motivation, health and fitness. I highly recommend Strongside to everyone!

The best coaches with the best workouts and the best people working out there. 1000% worth every penny

Been a member since 2016 - great coaches, people are very friendly and the workouts can be modified to meet your needs. Highly recommend!

This gym will give you results! Mitch is a great coach! Friendly and family atmosphere !

Awesome gym, awesome people and the best coach! If you are looking for a gym in the Woodstock area, give it a try. Strongside is the best gym around!!!

Strongsides programming is second to none. I joined Strongside in Nov 2015 and have experienced exceptional results!! Owner/Head Coach Mitchel Black knows exactly what he is doing, pays very close attention each member and drives a close-knit community of some of the best people I have had the pleasure of meeting. Strongside is functional fitness in the purest sense and a clear example of what a gym home is suppose to be like.

Strongside is exactly what I needed to challenge myself and stay motivated. Mitchel and the coaches foster a great atmosphere perfect for competitive seasoned athletes, and for people just starting out. Strongside makes people better.

Mitch is awesome and will get you motivated, hold you accountable, and push your limits. Everyone is super welcoming and the atmosphere is contagious.

All the fitness. Great place to get fit and make friends. Not just a gym, but a community.

I’ve been a member at Strongside for going on 5 years! The coaching, the equipment and the people are all top notch! If you’re looking for a place to fill you fitness needs, you don’t need to look any further than Strongside!!

I love going to CrossFit and being pushed to my limits, and further. Mitchel is a great coach.

This place will change your life! Cant say enough good things about the coaches and the other members always building each other up and encouraging one another.

Coach Mitchel is a very encouraging coach that will work with all skill levels. My experience has been amazing!

I was one of those people that thought I couldn’t do CrossFit style workouts, well I was wrong! I quickly learned that ANYONE and yes I mean ANYONE can! Through the very personal training atmosphere coupled with the help of coaches Mitch Black, Karri, and Alan, everything was scaled to my fitness and ability level. Plus everyone is really nice and welcoming! It’s been almost a year and I still love coming 4-5 times a week!

Mitchel Black is awesome!! He really cares about your fitness and making people better!

Awesome first time! Loved it, the coaching was great, the group atmosphere is so motivating!

I started with a Groupon almost two years ago and I haven’t looked back. The community, the training and the coaching is simply amazing and I’m so thankful I made the decision to try something new.

Great place to workout, great coach, great community of athletes that will cheer you, inspire you and encourage you!

It all started when I purchased a Groupon for Strongside. Mitchel, head coach and owner remembered me by name every time I came in the door. He scaled every thing to my ability and he made sure I was doing the exercises correctly. I love having him as my coach and someone to hold me accountable. I signed up before my Groupon had run out if that tells you anything. Everyone one is so nice and cheers you on. I love being a part of Strongside. If you are thinking about checking this place out you should. You will not regret it and you just may be signing up to join before your Groupon expires to. :-)

Everyone here is supportive and Mitchel individualizes his work outs to ensure no matter your fitness level or goals everyone is treated with respect and encourage to meet and exceed their goals. This is more then a gym, more then a box, it’s a community.

Ive belong to several gyms (Cross Fit and non-Cross Fit) and this place is by far the best. My two college age daughters love the place even more than I do. Its not the place. Its the coach and the people. Weve been members for almost two years. We can feel the difference and see the difference in others. We had so many questions in the beginning and Coach Mitchel answered them all. We have learned so much and everyday we learn more.

I love the atmosphere and the energy Mitchel and Meagan create while motivating their members to meet their goals. They are the BEST!!

Love this place and all the people in it! It’s really pushed me to my limit on my fitness journey!

Simply stated, you will never find a more committed, hands on coach than Mitchel Black or a fitness facility of anytime with a greater sense if family than StrongSide.Period.

Best gym. Best coaches. Best fitaids.

Awesome!!!! Love going there at least 5 times a week and it helps me through out the day. Mich is awesome!!! :-)

Personalized attention every single workout!

The best gym, community and coaching in Woodstock!

When I started, I looked like Chris Farley. Now, people confuse me with Brad Pitt. Yeah, its like that. Mitchell does work.

Come achieve your goals

Great stuff going on here

Best coaches and athletes!

Love this gym!!! Amazing coaches, superb workouts, and results, results, results!!!

Best place to workout!

Truly Fitnesstown!

Best Gym in Woodstock!!!! Come join us!

Watch out!! I was over charged for months and was told it would be returned to my credit card. Now, 5 month later Mitchell Black refuses to return my money. Evidently he needs my money more than me??
