Had the pleasure of training at Stivers Strength for around 3 months. Great environment and even better coaches. My goal was solely powerlifting and they helped me achieve my goals as well as everyone else who walks into the gym. Great experience!!

Nathan and his crew are the best of the best! They truly want what is best for you and don't just see you as money in their pockets. I came into the gym knowing absolutely nothing and they have been so kind, understanding, and educational throughout my sessions!

Weight training is not something I was originally seeking, but this gym is quickly fostering a love of lifting. In less than one month and with Nathan's help, I have nearly eliminated a shoulder impingement I've had for 5 years. I literally couldn't pivot my arm above my head without intense pain. I'm learning better posture by activating muscles I didn't know I had, which is also preventing small injuries I usually give myself. (I'm pretty short so I tend to hurt myself hauling luggage while traveling or driving too long -- I can't reach things). The gym atmosphere is great too. Everyone is on their own program so you aren't directing competing to see who can out muscle own another. No one makes fun of my 45lb squat when other girls can do 250+! They cheer one-another on when going for personal records. The pace is slow and incremental so we don't risk injury. And the coaches are always at the ready to give you everything you need to succeed (grabbing boxes, spotting weights, explaining physiology, giving encouragement). I very highly recommend Stivers Strength to anyone. It's not just for lifters, it's for anyone committed to a functional body and healthy life.

Nathan and his staff were instrumental in helping me get back to lifting while dealing with several orthopedic issues. Nathan was always careful to consider my workout plan in conjunction with my injury and PT plan. He’s great at giving small verbal cues to correct form and help further prevent injury. Highly recommend!!

Everyone at this gym is so supportive...celebrating personal successes and gains, and offering encouragement when the training day seems harder than normal. In only 6 months, Nathan and Hunter have me on track to compete again. I would highly recommend anyone to give Nathan a call to see how he could tailor a plan to make you a stronger, better you!

Nathan and his staff have the dedication, knowledge, and experience to help you achieve your goals. They helped teach me how to lift heavy with proper form, adjust the intensity of my workouts to maximize my results over the long run, and work through pain to stay on track without making my injuries worse. I would recommend Stivers Strength to anybody who is ready to better themselves and their lives through strength training.

I have been training at Stivers Strength since June 2014. Nathan has been the biggest factor in changing my views on fitness, strength, and nutrition. In the past three years I've become more fearless, more fit, and stronger than I've ever been. It has truly changed the way I view my body- now more for what it can do as opposed to what it looks like. If you need a positive change in your life, a strong community, and skilled coaching staff this is the place for you.

Nathan takes the time to genuinely listen and understand what you're wanting and what you need, then accurately assesses the problem and provides great drills for fixing the fundamental issue. I went to him for help with my squats, since I get knee and ankle pain on my right side after a heavy leg day. He provided my with a couple of drills that have really helped, and I've seen my squat weight go up too! Highly recommend his expertise.

Stivers strength is a great gym and community. Nathan and Hunter are knowledgeable about their trade and committed to your goals. I can’t recommend this place enough. I was intimidated coming in to the gym because I had no experience strength training. Nathan, Hunter, and the other members were extremely welcoming and patient with my learning curve. Soon they all became friends, and I looked forward to the conversations as much as the strength training. Would highly recommend to anyone in the Lexington area.

Cannot recommend enough! I trained here for about 2 years and I’m stronger and healthier than I’ve ever been. I learned so much about training and gained a tremendous amount of independence in the gym—and I started from zero. The trainers are all extremely patient and helpful but more than happy to push you! If you’re considering making an investment in your health, I’d recommend checking this place out.
