Elevate: el·e·vate; to raise or lift (something) to a higher position.
The most literal meaning of “elevate” is to lift, and in fitness training, lifting weights is one of the most common forms of exercise. And although Elevate Fitness and Wellness definitely includes lifting weights, “elevate” means much more than that to us. We believe that a fitness journey is a lot like climbing the elevation of a mountain. It’s hard. It requires persistence and time. It requires patience. But once you climb that mountain, what a view from the top! And the feeling you get when you conquer a physical and/or metaphoric mountain, well that is Elevate. Elevate is about uplifting your whole life through health, fitness, and wellness.
We’re so happy you’re here!
