“Fantastic! I had never lifted weights before and was intimidated to just show up at a gym. Finding POWR was a dream come true. Great owner, trainers, vibes and results!!”

–Molly S.

“I’ve been regularly going to POWR for a couple months now. I attend personal training weekly with Dakota. I highly recommend this business. Not only is Dakota a light in my life, but she completely tailors every workout to my needs. I’m a complicated case with injuries, physical therapy, and a busy lifestyle and I’ve been so well taken care of here. I’ve progressed so much on the areas I was struggling and can honestly say my life is better for coming here. Additionally, the facility is clean and pleasant and all the staff are very welcoming. This is clearly a safe space for people of all backgrounds. The team here really care about each person’s experience and are bringing such a great service to our city.”

“I’ve been working out with Dakota twice a week for just under a month. She’s awesome and I’ve gotten stronger, making positive physical gains already and my back pain has almost all but gone away! Couldn’t recommend her more!”

–Daniel W.

“POWR Personal Training is by far the best gym in the area! Dakota curates a welcoming, non-judgmental environment and tailors custom programs that strike the perfect balance between challenging and achievable. The space itself is beautiful – I love that it’s private and offers a comprehensive array of weights and machines. Absolutely consider coming for a group class or a training session, you definitely wont regret it!”

“Dakota is an absolute dream to work with and the new space is so clean and inviting! I had started training with her leading up to my wedding. Not only did she get me wedding-ready, but she also taught me how to love working out. She builds out her programs in a way that is maintainable, and something you actually look forward to doing. I used to think of personal trainers as intimidating, but Dakota is the sweetest person I have ever met and I feel comfortable asking questions. We are always laughing and having a good time, while also getting an amazing workout in. 10/10 recommend!

–Natasha K.

akota has built a great space to work out in – so welcoming and encouraging! She is kind & responsive to your exercise/health needs. I was matched with Paige, and could not have asked for a better trainer. She is accomodating, knowledgable, motivating, and friendly – you feel comfortable because she is willing to meet you where you are in your journey. I’m getting back into weights after a couple of injuries and she was able to create a workout routine for me that fit my budget and time constraints. If I ever need a trainer again, this is the place. Highly recommend!

–Caroline M.

“I started working with Dakota to improve my fitness journey in a positive and empowering way. She has helped me to becoming more confident, comfortable, and of course stronger! Dakota has helped me to stay focused on my goals, and had guided me with enthusiasm; along with helping me to stay on track and encouraging me no matter how many times I wanted to give up. Consistency is key.

I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a safe space to preform and work towards their fitness goals.

–Alexa c.

“I started my fitness journey with Dakota over a year ago. She has been so encouraging and helpful in my fitness journey. She comes to every session with a positive attitude and eager to train. She has taught so much about the gym and continuously adapts my program to accommodate my needs. I highly recommend to train with Dakota because she will always listen, guide, and encourage you to do your best even when you don’t have the motivation to.”

–McKenzie B.

“POWR group fitness classes are well thought out, challenging, and engaging. Dakota is intentional and gives 1:1 form correction throughout the class. I feel that my personal growth is noticed and where I’m at is honored. I recommend working out here to anyone ready to commitment to their health! You’ll find yourself looking forward to coming to the gym.”

“Dakota and POWR Personal Training are amazing! She meets you where you are in your fitness journey with zero judgement. She’s enthusiastic about fitness, and pushes you but only as far as you are comfortable. I always feel better after going to class, both physically and mentally, 100% would recommend.”

–Chrissy C.

“I have been training with Dakota for about 6 months now. I’m in my 50’s, and I wanted to feel strong, again. Dakota has been wonderful to work with. She’s thoughtful about the workouts she plans, and I feel very supported in my goals. Her space is reflective of her..:warm, friendly, and inclusive.”

–Tammy F.

“Dakota has been AMAZING to work with! She made a customized workout plan for me that was easy to follow and I saw results in less than four weeks. She’s helped me establish goals that were attainable and helped me build a solid foundation, even for someone like me who doesn’t have much lifting experience. The gym is clean, well-equipped, and I always look forward to working out there.

–Trey K.

I highly recommend POWR Personal Training for anyone wanting to learn more about the fitness world no matter if you are a beginner, or have been working out for years. POWR’s facility and faculty are welcoming, encouraging, and motivating. I feel grateful to know such amazing people who created their business with a foundation of knowledge, experience, education, and a deep care for helping others grow!! Please check it out!

–Amanda H.

“She’s the best personal trainer ever! She helps me understand things better and exercise safely.

–Taylor W.

“Dakota’s intense weight training workout plan was the only reason I was still standing after moving house last weekend. Doing all those stairs (while carrying a couch!) would have killed me before.

Without the power and endurance I gained from working with Dakota, I never would have been strong enough to move our entire 3 bedroom house in a single day. Thanks to her training regimin, I could.”

–Lucas W.

“I just want to say that this whole program has literally been life changing. I never knew I could at least not hate working out. But the workouts have all been so good and just the right amount of challenging. I’ve also noticed that I overall feel more like taking care of myself when I’m moving more. Like I want to eat more fruits and veggies and stuff too, without it being a whole thing.

You are amazing and talented and I want everyone I know to work with you!!”

–Sarah T.

“I like that this program is more focused on making a lifestyle change. It’s more conducive to for allowing for imperfections and then focusing on how to improve/problem solve. I know that I’m going to need to continue exercising for the rest of my life (not just until I lose weight) so this program is really helping me adopt that mindset and feel ok about things when I’m not perfect.”

–Danielle M.

“Dakota has helped me identify, plan, and achieve all of my fitness goals in a way that fits my lifestyle. She is an amazing listener, trainer, and educator. I want everyone to work with her!”

–Steven

“I had the pleasure of having Dakota train me, and not only does she create amazing plans, she really does a ton of research on each exercise, and it shows! She made me feel strong and she is very encouraging. I would recommend Dakota to anyone, no matter what gym level you are!”

–Cynthia

“Dakota has been my personal trainer for a bit, and friend for a long time, and her workouts have been kicking my butt (in a good way!). She has given me workouts that not only fit my goals but also made sure that I would be safe doing them too!”

–Minda P.

“I began training with Dakota in the beginning of January, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve been a lifelong dieter, and have tried almost every program under the sun…She helped me to realize that I don’t have to be on a rigorous diet program and run on the treadmill for hours on end to see the results I wanted, thank you Dakota!”

–Marisa

“We’ve been training with Dakota for about 5 months in both personal and group classes, and it’s been a great experience so far. We’re definitely getting in better shape. The gym has everything you might need and is kept extremely clean. What we really like about Dakota’s classes is that she is engaged, efficient, and keeps us motivated to work out. We also appreciate the variety of challenging exercises and foundational lifts that not only build strength but also improve balance and function. Highly recommended!”
