The Training Room in Avon is not your typical gym. Free of most traditional gym equipment, it uses Kettle Ball training, medicine balls, sand bags, dumbbells and body weight movements. Group training is emphasized, but highly recommended after mastering the one-on-one programs. Members must be prepared and motivated to work hard to get the results they desire. Call or stop by for class schedules or to speak to a trainer to set up a program.
