“I lost, very tragically, my only child, Stephen, in 2012. I moved to Medford in 2013. It was too difficult living in Canada without my son. To lose your child, you really do lose yourself and your life as you know it just stops too. I started going to the Fitness Center pretty soon after moving to Medford to take some classes and make myself keep moving. Jill Fortin (fitness instructor) became my personal trainer and she helped me work through some of the most challenging times of my life. The Fitness Center has become a place that helps me cope emotionally. It has become a place where the staff know me by name and where I can let my emotions be free. I will grieve every day for Stephen; pain is like breathing for me now. The Fitness Center staff has been with me on my journey, giving me the strength to put my feet on the floor every morning. I needed it and Jill, well, she would never let me give in. Now my husband and I are working with Jake Brehm (strength & conditioning coach). The Fitness Center is part of our lives and the people that work there have become friends. It really is self-care of mind and body. I am so thankful!”

"It seemed to me that age 70 was hardly the time to start working with a trainer. When potential mobility issues did not resolve with my regular exercise regime, I decided to try it anyway. Working with Jake Brehm has made a significant improvement in my well-being. After a thorough assessment, Jake developed a program of strengthening to address the issues I was having. Every session with him is fresh and targets problem areas. Between our scheduled sessions, he has developed programs for me to do independently. The changes are beyond amazing. While learning new exercises and how they increase my ability to safely and comfortably do my daily activities, I’ve gained more confidence and look forward to trying new routines. As I gain strength, flexibility, and balance, my body is virtually pain-free which encourages me to be more active. This has truly been one of the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. Besides being thankful to Jake, I’m am thankful to Aspirus Therapy & Fitness for offering this life-changing service"

“My main reason I exercise is to maintain my health and fitness. My motivation to exercise comes from the awesome instructors at the Fitness Center. My exercise consists mostly of participating gin the organized classes led by an instructor. I would work out on the machines and I know all kind of exercises I could do on my own, but I feel I get a much better total body workout in the classes. I also feel I work a little harder when exercising with other members, and the instructors are all encouraging to do your best and a little more. I’ve participated in classes led by instructors Trisha, Jill, Candy and Krista, and they’re all excellent. Most of my workouts are done with Krista. She goes above and beyond! Many selfless hours are spent in her preparation for classes. She’s a positive and encouraging instructor. Krista’s classes are creative and interesting because of her diversity. She’s considerate of the different levels of the members fitness and offers modifications for exercises. I truly enjoy her classes! I appreciate all of the fitness instructors and the hard work they put into making their classes successful! I would encourage anyone, no matter what their level of fitness, to join the Fitness Center. Staff are all friendly and helpful. There’s nothing like that feeling of accomplishment after a good workout!”

“Prior to my arrival in Medford from Los Angeles, I was afraid I would not find a gym that matched the ones from back home. However, the Aspirus Therapy & Fitness gym blew my expectations away. Between the friendly and knowledgeable staff (special shout out to Katie K.), to the clean and well organized fitness area, Aspirus sets the gold standard of Wisconsin gyms and would rival the ones from back home. If you would like to achieve your fitness goals in a comfortable and family-friendly environment, then look no further and sign-up to become part of the Aspirus family. P.S. Men, don’t be afraid to sign-up for Marney’s Zumba class if you’d like to dance the calories away.”

"This gym is the jewel of the Northwoods! As you can imagine, Chicagoland has gyms on every corner. The specialty gyms like Orange Theory and CrossFit gyms or local YMCAs are part of everyday life for single people, families and seniors. Your gym offers an extensive variety of classes and athlete-focused personal training for a fraction of the cost. I look forward to coming to this little jewel when I stay at our cottage on Sackett's lake. I also plan to take advantage of the massage therapist--she must be awesome because she's always booked!!! Your staff listened to me and helped assess my needs. Each person made me feel right at home. They made it easy for me to join. They encouraged me to try out classes and come anytime I am visiting. Your locker room was the perfect place to end my workout by providing a safe environment and even had encouraging phrases on the walls. I love your gym and tell people about it all the time!"
