You’re
either
coming
out
of
covid
fit,
fat,
or
dead.
I
really
only
wanted
the
first
option.
For
the
first
eight
months
of
covid,
I
gestated
a
flabby
physique.
I
wasn’t
getting
out
and
it
was
really
showing.
So
I
made
the
decision
to
birth
a
better
lifestyle
and
joined
Epic
Fitness.
Being
just
two
blocks
from
my
house,
and
having
heard
good
reviews
of
other
“neighborhood
gyms”,
I
chose
to
invest
in
myself
and
start
working
out
regularly.
Epic
had
taken
significant
steps
to
adapt
to
covid
and
that
was
just
one
hallmark
of
their
dedication
to
excellence
visible
throughout
the
gym
and
business.
The
practices
I
found
there
were
continued
as
covid
waned
and
the
gym
moved
to
a
new
location.
Epic
Fitness
has
superb
facilities
with
top-notch
training
gear.
This
is
shown
through
available
Glute
Loops,
exercise
bands,
mats,
plates,
hex
bars,
boxes,
and
training
field,
but,
most
of
all,
the
knowledgeable
instructors
are
always
on
hand
for
one-on-one
help
and
guidance.
And
I
don’t
casually
include
them
in
this
list
of
gear
because
Epic
is
truly
centered
around
the
experience
of
their
members
and
their
commitment
to
excellence
is
reflected
in
all
their
employees.
Expect
to
be
greeted
with
a
smile
every
time
you
come
and
go,
and
by
name.
I
didn’t
stay
at
Epic
just
because
of
the
staff
but
I’m
proud
now
to
call
many
of
them
friends.
Workouts
may
be
self-guided
or
under
the
immediate
supervision
of
a
trainer.
Workouts
are
tailored
to
each
individual.
The
trainers
put
together
programs
based
on
your
level
of
fitness
with
new
programs
every
dozen
workouts.
Epic
is
a
Functional
Strength
Training
program.
This
approach
builds
fitness
as
a
body-whole
slowly
bringing
your
fitness
up
as
a
complete
unit.
The
workouts
are
phone
app-driven
so
you’ll
see
a
phone
or
tablet
next
to
everyone
in
the
gym.
But
let
me
define
who
everyone
is…
It
is
very
rare
to
ever
have
more
than
10
members
working
out
at
the
same
time.
This
number
is
not
facility
size
limited.
It’s
a
part
of
Epic’s
offering
as
a
neighborhood
gym.
There
are
never
less
than
two
trainers
in
the
gym
and
I’ve
seen
as
many
as
six
in
there.
Outnumbering
the
members
is
not
unheard
of.
Epic
is
not
a
muscle-bound
gym.
The
members
are
of
respectable
age
and
able
to
afford
such
a
pristine
environment.
Loud
grunting
is
only
heard
when
Mitch
makes
a
joke.
These
are
everyday
people
who
care
about
their
health
and
make
an
effort
to
put
in
the
effort.
Coming
from
a
big-box
gym
you
may
not
appreciate
all
the
amenities
of
Epic.
But,
if
you
go
back
to
one,
you’ll
be
in
for
a
shock
at
what
you
put
up
with.
Since
becoming
a
member,
the
biggest
takeaway
for
me
is
the
know-how
to
work
out
correctly.
I’ve
worked
out
for
most
of
my
life
but
the
techniques
I
learned
at
Epic
are
far
and
above
everything
I
have
learned
before.
I
really
appreciate
the
time
I
have
spent
working
out
at
Epic
Fitness.
I
lost
significant
weight
and
am
keeping
it
off.
I’m
healthy
and
have
good
muscle
fitness
and
I
can
do
anything
I
ask
of
my
body.

really
created
something
wonderful
in
Millcreek.
