1 % Better

Welcome to Connection Wellness Center (which we lovingly refer to as CWC)!  Here, we believe that we are all built to connect. As humans, no one was meant to do this life alone, and your fitness journey isn’t any different. We were meant to journey alongside like-minded people who care for us when we need it, support us during difficult times, and encourage us when we could use a little push. 

So when you walk into our gym, you’ll find more than an expert team, well-kept equipment, and a clean and simple environment (although, those things are important!). You’ll also be warmly embraced by a community that accepts you right where you are and is devoted to helping you get where you want to be. We can’t wait to know you! 

Authentically,

Rachel Martin (Owner)

Our team has the education and enthusiasm to get you the results you want. For some that might mean losing weight, getting stronger, building an exercise habit, preventing injuries or other health related goals. But more importantly, our team is committed to making sure that path is sustainable.

Because in the end, building a healthy lifestyle isn’t about the reps on the bench press or minutes on a treadmill; it’s about what happens on the journey and the people you share it with along the way. Ready to start?

Testimonials

  • - Marion

    “Matt at Connection Wellness Center is fabulous! He’s really knowledgeable! He individualized the program based on my goals and abilities. I am 77 years old and I completely trust that he understands my physical limitations and how to work around them. I needed to get up and be active which I was having a hard time doing by myself. When working with Coach Matt, I was really consistent and motivated! He kept me going even when I moaned and groaned. If you're looking to stay active, flexible, and strong. Ask for Coach Matt!”

  • -Peter

    “Charlie trains me with weights and he pays close attention to my positioning and movements. He offers incredibly helpful adjustments, activation techniques, stretches and strength training points. He changes my hand position on a bar or shows me a way to activate a muscle group thereby making it possible for me work out in ways I never have before. I love how he pays close attention to my movement and he teaches me how to get stronger.”

  •  - Denise

    “Professional atmosphere. Friendly and supportive staff. Meet you where you are and encourage and motivate you. I work with Dion and he is patient, adapts the workout to meet my needs and supports me in meeting my goals. I always feel better when I leave!”

  • -Tammy

    “I have been working with Rachel off and on over the last 10 years. She and her staff have helped me rehab through two new replacements and many mobility issues. If you are looking for a small group environment with lots of fun - this is a great place.”

  • - Ashley

    “Great atmosphere and trainers! I have had a lot of negative experiences in gyms before but this one is perfect for me. Willing to meet you where you are and make modifications for health issues. I've seen progress since joining and look forward to going every week.”
