Dane trained me 18 months 2x weekly until the gym went out of business. Now am lifting on my own at another gym, not getting gains with the speed which I had been but still learning to work out on my own. The muscular base I build with Dane makes that possible and fun.


The GOOD:
-knows how to push but not injure a 50 year old client
-expert at getting the most results for the time you put in and making it interesting by mixing things up
-extraordinarily calculating and strategic: Let Dane know your goals and constraints (e.g. gain muscle but have a sore shoulder) and he will react with speed and skill to get you there
-great physiological understand (gave me an expert eval on my shoulder soreness confirming no tear and proscribed exercises to strengthen lower traps and re-balance the muscles with good success)


The BAD:
-knows how to push you without injury, but still one time I had to take advil within 2 hours of blasting my legs with high volume squats. Once he builds you up to safely push you, you will discover what SORE feels like (even that is addicting)
-you have to find supplementary instructional videos on your own as the focus is on maximizing the training session for results now (not focusing on how you will branch out later on your own). I have discovered insightful youtube weightlifting videos on how to bench press by Art of Manliness (Rippetoe) and Alan Thrall that I think are helpful additions to Dane's coaching.


SUMMARY: Encouraging, challenging, keeps you from hurting yourself while still getting you addicted to moving heavy weights and the exercise "high" you get by moving out of your comfort zone. Results, professionalism, and a little fear (that your heart will explode). I did things I thought I was way too old to do and am still benefiting from it. I couldn't recommend Dane more highly.

Never had I had someone push me past my comfort zone to become my best and have fun while doing it. Dane will challenge you to win each training session and will support you to reach and surpass your goals. I highly recommend Dane.

Dane is very knowledgable with many training techniques. I set my weight loss goals extremely high and what I thought was out of reach and he not only helped me reach my goals but also how to live a healthy lifestyle.

I started training with Dane a little over a month ago. 2 days a week and have seen tremendous results so far. He doesn't just tell you what to do he explains every lift/workout and what it will help. He makes sure your form is on point so your a good sore the next day �. Not a bad sore where your joints are hurting because of putting incorrect movement on them. More...

I started at In Motion Fitness three months ago and it truly is a five star gym- a place with quality equipment, friendly "gym mates", and coaches that know your name.

Three months ago I could jump rope exactly one time in a row. Last week I hit 59.

Three months ago I could only hang from the monkey bars at the park (not moving even one rung). Two days ago I made it through seven rungs.

I've gained muscle, friends, and confidence at In Motion Fitness and am confident that it is the best money I've spent on myself!

I was invited to join in the May Newbie/Member Challenge and could not have had more fun while being pushed to what I thought was over my physical limitations. The highly visible owners and the knowledgeable coaches have created a fast, challenging program that is offered many times throughout the day to get your body pumped and out the door to tackle the rest of the day. I've gained muscle, endurance and friends along the way. Thanks, In Motion Fitness! More...

I have been struggling with my weight and overall health my whole life and have never been able to find the right intensity workout to complete in order to see results, which has been very frustrating! When I did workout, I liked to attend classes (Zumba, kickboxing, etc.) at Lifetime. However, due to financial reasons, I had to recently quit my membership at Lifetime, so I was just doing cardio exercises on my own at home without much results. I was invited to check out In Motion Fitness by a friend as part of their May member/non-member challenge. I went into the challenge skeptical and kind of scared. I was intimidated by all the equipment they had at the gym and afraid of what exercises they were going to make me do and if I would be judged if I couldn't do them all. Well, that attitude was quickly thrown out the window! After starting at In Motion, yes, the equipment still seemed intimidating, but as I attended classes, I was taught properly how to use all the equipment and was taught modifications to all of the scheduled exercises for that day and how to get the same effect/work same muscle group(s). Throughout my time at In Motion this month, I have grown to really appreciate the staff. Megan, Andrew, and all their staff are AMAZING and really helpful and personable to help/coach you when needed. Not only are the staff amazing, but the other members are super nice and friendly too. You feel like you are part of one big family, who helps and encourages each other out constantly while you are there. Everyone I have met has been nothing but nice!
Now that the challenge is over, I have decided to become a member of this gym because I like the program so much and I know that my health is important! I have definitely seen results physically, mentally, and emotionally this month because of working out at In Motion. I would HIGHLY recommend giving it a try and joining more than just your standard "gym", but a family who is willing to work with and encourage you where you are at to help you become a better YOU! Plus, it is FUN! I am SO GLAD that I did this challenge!

What an amazing gym! This place can motivate anyone. Everyone cheers each other on. The workouts change each day to work a different part of the body, and they incorporate different “games” on certain days to keep it fun. Sunday’s are for yoga, nothing better for a Sunday evening. Nothing but great things to say about this place and they amazing staff! More...

I have never felt any motivation to have a workout plan; on top of physical limitations making me hesitant to join any gym let alone a class based gym. I have feared that they wouldn't be able or willing to help me find what works for me. Joining the May challenge turned out to be a great thing for me. In Motion listened to my concerns, and has helped me find ways to successfully complete a workout. More...

I was pressed to do the May challenge from my wife who has been wanting me for a long time to be more healthy. My problem is I have been burn out on working out since my younger days and injuries; but lets face it, happy wife happy life so I committed. Now here we are 4 weeks in and I will not go back. NEVER have I been committed to working out where I very much looked forward to going. This gym has everything I could ever ask for from the ownership, staff, and other members. Past workout routines are nothing like these, they are fun, intense, different routines each day, built for every level, focus on strength, conditioning, and balance; and all with Results. I highly recommend this gym over ANY I have ever tried. You get what you pay for, and this is it for being fit. More...

I am a self-proclaimed gym hopper! I have been to many different gyms and had a variety of experiences. In Motion creates a friendly, welcoming environment where one can get in and out for a quick, effective workout. It is impressive how they manage large and small classes. They also pay close attention to form and if one is using equipment correctly. I appreciate that! The last gym I was at did not do this. I discovered after 18 months of being there that no one corrected a simple mistake I was making with a piece of equipment. I tested In Motion the 1st night I was there to see if they would correct it. They noticed right away! It is nice to know that they actually pay attention to their members and one is not just a number. Thanks In Motion Fitness! More...

I have always struggled with sticking to a routine. Whether it be running, working out at home or whatever, I usually start strong only to fade out at the end. It's too easy to sleep in one day or skip a week because your sore or tired or bored. When I was invited to the May challenge, I was excited because I thought having to go some place, being held accountable would be good for my motivation. Instead what I got was getting to know new friends who shared an idea that in order to stay healthy in your later years, you need exercise. And finding the right exercise is crucial. And I have definitely found it at In Motion. Not only are the workouts challenging, but the trainers are very motivating and working out with a lot of the same people day in and day out helps to keep you coming back. They are very inspiring and building new relationships has made 4:30 a.m wakeups much more enjoyable. And I am certainly feeling more healthy every day and seeing the results. If you have struggled with sticking to a program in the past, give Megan and Andrew a try. They will most definitely get you sweaty and ready for more. More...

I hate “lifting” but these workouts are hard yet really fun and the workouts are new each day so it keeps it fresh. This isn’t a bunch of models and posers. Real people trying to own their health through meaningful exercise.

This place is sort of like Cheers: they know you’re name and they give you a hard time (via great workouts) but it’s not so hard you can’t take it (aka injury!). “Norm! Do a Turkish Get-up!”

Andrew and Megan are the real deal, and they are great educators. I’ve learned a lot of really helpful ways to do things right and avoid injury’s, plus: who knew foam rolling was such an excellent way to stretch and recover!

I’ve loved feeling strong again and learned more about how to do these exercises in a way that helps, not hurts.

Worth. Every. Minute.

I started participating the InMotion world the beginning of May as part of their 28 day challenge encouraged by a friend. Having the opportunity to be part of this program I jumped in and committed to attending everyday I could . They run group sessions 6 days a week offering multiple 45 minutes slots each day. I have felt appropriately pushed each day and have appreciated InMotion's desire to understand what my physical limits and provide ways for me to be safe in my exercises. There is something very unique about the friendships that are developing with others in the sessions. Perhaps it is sharing a common desire to be more physically fit but I believe that the owners Megan and Andrew have played large part in setting the tone at InMotion Fitness. Their engaging style truly leaves attendees with a sense of belonging and a feeling of hope that improvements can be made in our health. InMotion regularly holds various seminars on helpful topics such as injury prevention and motivation techniques. Recently, a seminar covered the topic of RPR - Reflexive Performance Reset which was super interesting. I don't think you could go wrong with giving InMotion a look if you are desiring to start some healthy routines in your life. More...

Like others, I started coming to In Motion Fitness as part of their member/non-member challenge. I have traditionally only worked out on my own and not in a group setting. Walking into the gym, I was a little worried as it looked very much like a crossfit gym - which I'm not fond of. However, after that first workout, I knew that there was zero crossfit mentality from Andrew and Megan and the other trainers. They don't care how many reps you do or how much weight you push, but rather that you are doing them correctly and safely. Which is the way it should be.

I highly recommend this gym and will continue to be a member past this challenge.
