Garrick & Kat are such a vibe! They both are great motivators and pushed me to see what I was capable of. I didn’t think I needed personal training because exercising and running have always been a priority. But I saw a huge difference in my overall strength in the first 3 months AND they pushed me to reach my goal of unassisted pull-ups!

I absolutely love Garrick and Kat’s devotion, encouragement, passion, and dedication to my goals. I always feel listened to which was a problem with trainers before. And as my past injuries are unique, I feel the knowledge between the two of them help guide me to be a stronger, healthier person. I love their genuine care.

Kenna at Spear Leader Lifestyle has been instrumental in my fitness journey. Her dedication and tailored approach have not only helped me look and feel physically stronger but have also boosted my confidence, empowering me to move forward in other areas of my life. Kenna's fitness coaching style is exceptional; she’s truly tuned-in and pushes just enough to keep progress steady without causing that debilitating type of soreness or risking injury. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking real results and personal growth.

I started working out with Katharina and Garrick after i suffered a tennis injury. Garricks expert knowledge in sports injuries has helped rehabilitate my arm and strengthen the muscles around it so that i can continue to play tennis. I love the one on one training. They ensure your body is always in proper alignment so that you don’t injure yourself and you are targeting the correct muscles to get the full benefit of the workout. They are honest and truly want you to succeed in your fitness goals. After 3 months of training twice a week I’ve gotten stronger and have improved my tennis game by a lot! Not to mention i feel better having less body fat and more muscle!!

Kat is absolutely incredible! I was fortunate enough to train with her, and let me say - trust the process! Making a change is hard, I thought I was doing ‘the right things’ and let me tell you I was wrong. However Kat and Garrick do not make you feel bad or guilty about anything. They are the most enthusiastic supporters for your change, but to also live your life enjoyably. Implementing the changes prescribed by Kat and Garrick netted me close to a 5% loss in body fat in only 3 months time. They are truly a joy to work with and will get you where you want to be!

Looking for a GREAT personal trainer, have I got one for you. Garrick Clig is amazing. He is just not your standard, put you through a workout trainer. He actually watches your body movements, and adjusts the workout based on what your body is “doing”. There are times when I come in and I am just not “moving correctly”. Garrick will see this and stop the workout and do some extra stretching or warming up to ensure that the muscles move properly and the workout doesn’t cause any injuries.

I have been working with Garrick on and off for about 8 years. Every time I stop, I realized just how bad my body feels without his knowledge and kick myself in the butt for stopping, and go right back to him.

The most recent example of his amazing skills is this. I had a knee injury about 2 years ago where I literally didn’t trust putting my weight on the knee. I was unable to wear heels, go up and down stairs, or get on my tip toes. I had an MRI and was told that I needed to do PT to rehab the knee. I was going to a regular gym at the time and worked with a personal trainer there, but we really just did normal things. I worked out on my own, but never allowed myself to really put my knee through its paces. About 6 months ago, I decided to go back to Garrick. After discussing all the doc reports and how I felt, The FIRST thing he said we needed to do was to build up the muscles around the knee. I had to trust him and today I literally have no pain. I can do all the things I said previously I could not do.

Garrick KNOWS how the body moves, or should move and knows what to do to get your body moving as efficiently as possible.

I’m stronger than I have been in a long time and looking forward to getting even stronger!

I have been training with Garrick at Spear Leader Lifestyles since August of 2021. I sought out a personal coach because I have a fusion I my thoracic spine, and I wanted to make sure someone was there to support me in lifting safely with great form. I also knew I wanted a coach that was personable and would listen to my concerns and help coordinate the best route for me to achieve my goals. Garrick has done all of this and more! I could not be happier with my choice. The hours are perfect for me. There is understanding when life circumstances come up and I need to reschedule. The pricing was great for me because I knew I wanted to work on my health and get stronger, and I know that takes years. The longer the contract the less you pay at a time. Garrick is very experienced and the more you ask the more you will learn. So make sure you communicate! He teaches me new things all the time, not just about lifting weights but also about how our bodies work with how we lift, eat, sleep, stress, etc. The atmosphere at Spear Leader Lifestyles is fun, happy, caring, and supportive. The other clients are there doing the work, and you get to share experiences and support each other. With Garrick I have achieved my beginning goals of getting stronger everywhere. Now I am excited to continue into my next challenge with Garrick, of getting leaner and working on strengthening and eating for my personal aesthetic goals. One of my favorite Garrick quotes, "I want you to feel powerful." I have felt more confident and strong than I have my whole life. Go with Garrick.?

In all my years trying out different gyms and personal trainers, this is by far the best experience I have had. I have been a member here for a little under a year now, but I have never felt so welcomed and motivated to reach my body goals. From the minute you walk in, you are greeted warmly by the staff. The gym is always clean and you don’t have to wait in line to use the machines. Garrick is the most personable and professional personal trainer I’ve had. He’s enthusiastic and passionate about what he does and it reflects on the workouts he gives me. The workouts are consistent and have variety so you don’t get bored and it doesn’t feel repetitive. Hands down best gym! Ask for Garrick!
