Spartan Fitness has been home to my family for over 6 years. They are phenomenal people that truly care about their clients. All of the coaches are very knowledgeable in everything they teach. I love to take the strength and conditioning classes. Coach Omar takes the time to explain each exercise so you know exactly what you are working and how to do it properly. The one thing I like the most is that every class is different and you work our your full body! You'll always feel great about the workout and Coach Omar is super fun to take class with! The atmosphere is always great and we have an awesome time!
