“

Retired Doctor Is Stronger than Ever

“I can’t say enough good things about Capital Strength and Conditioning. I’ve been training here for several years now and consistently found the team to be excellent. Many people my age (69) have retired from training and without the consistent encouragement I get at Capital, I might have gone down that same path. Even when I come in for a session with various aches and pains, they are able to work with those limitations and actually help me with rehab.”

Rob W. · Doctor

Massage Therapist Finds Strength Training

“I started training at Capital well over 12 months ago. I cannot speak highly enough of them. They are professional, knowledgeable and their understanding of the human body is exceptional. Outside of developing strength, they have helped me address compensations in my movement patterns and has aided in the prevention of overuse and injury in my daily work. They have readily amended and adapted sessions based on how I was feeling on the day.”

Mary C. · Massage Therapist/Acupuncturist

“

Strength Training is a Must For Women Over 60!

“I love this gym! As a woman over 60 I never thought I could feel as strong & fit as I do now. I even skied down a couple of black diamonds last week. So happy I started strength training at Capital Strength!!”

Leslie F. · Retired

“

At 44, I'm in the best shape of my life

“At 44, I'm in the best shape of my life and indebted to the Capital Strength Team… I can out-lift my 16 year old son and outlast both my 10 year old and 7 year old… The best result? My doctor is very pleased with my low heart rate, low blood sugar, low blood pressure, bone density, and muscular frame”

Strength & Wellness Questions You Might Have.

Do I need to be fit before I start?

No. Your coach starts you where you are, and many of our clients were complete beginners.

Can strength training help my bone density?

Strength training is widely recommended for keeping bones and muscles healthy. Talk to your doctor about your situation, then we'll plan around it.

What if I have an old injury?

Your coach adjusts or swaps movements for your limitations and tailors the loading and progression to you.

Still have a question? Ask us on your Fit Call.

"I'll start when things calm down." They won't. Start anyway.
