Reviews of Studio ME Fitness

Maggie Collette

I've loved my experience at Studio ME Fitness! I've been attending a small group training course for a little over 4 months now and have already seen results and am just overall feeling healthier. Melissa is a great trainer and makes the sessions both fun and rewarding. Going to Studio ME feels like being part of a family - everyone is so welcoming and fun. No matter your fitness level, you will feel encouraged and motivated there!

Suzanne Patten

I have been an intern at Studio ME for the past month now and have been so incredibly happy with my experience here. The gym should be a happy and safe place where you can try new things, see friendly faces, and recharge from the stressors of your everyday life and Studio ME embodies that so perfectly. The personalized workouts are challenging, but members are excited to show up and see people who genuinely care about them and are there to cheer them on. Every coach has done their part to create such a unique community full of so much love and encouragement. They are consistently there to guide and coach throughout every step of members' own personal journey, it's really cool to watch. Becoming stronger and more confident in the gym is a transformation that goes far beyond just physical appearance, and I would recommend Studio ME to anyone as a place to start that journey!

Nick Brant

Studio ME Fitness has been a wonderful experience since Day 1. Throughout the entire process the team there has gotten to know me, my goals, my strengths, and my weaknesses. With that knowledge they have put together a plan that is tailored to my specific needs and as a result I have seen huge progress in a relatively short amount of time. Billy, my trainer, pushes me every workout to be better - while also being incredibly friendly and fun to work with. Megan has created a workout space that fosters positivity, hard work, and results. It does not matter if you are just starting your fitness journey, or if you have been on it for years - I cannot recommend Studio ME Fitness enough!

Robin De Castro

Studio ME Fitness bridges the gap between Physical Therapy and Elite Fitness. The coaches meet you wherever you are at in your fitness journey and help you reach the goals you set for yourself. I feel super comfortable in the space but challenged enough to get better and stronger. As a member, it is amazing working out next to somebody doing their own personal workout but we are feeding off of each other's energy and motivating each other. Everyone is so nice and wants to build each other up. Stronger together! As a coach, Megan is an amazing leader and supports me to be the best trainer I can be. She holds a high standard so that I can give a very professional service to my clients but gives me the creative freedom to be myself. She is a big reason I have had so much success and happiness in my career.

I met Studio ME owner Megan Cooper over a year ago while walking in my NE neighborhood, but it wasn’t until a couple months ago that I was formally introduced to the gym itself. I am currently participating in an internship offered by a studio ME. My experience has been welcoming, accommodating, and extremely professional. Megan and her team put together a program that teaches what,why, and how they do the things they do. The energy amongst members and staff is always friendly and motivating. Most importantly the community aspect is felt from Day 1.

Leslie Stephens

I’ve been with Studio ME since 2019 and have enjoyed every experience. I have dabbled in most class types they offer— bootcamp, group classes, 12-week intensive, and now semi-private training. Each program is a unique experience but definitely gives you a great workout. The studio is a welcoming space and I look forward to seeing Chelsea (and friends I've made along the way) in the evenings to brighten up some long days!

Chad Lukkarila

This is a great fitness studio. The people are friendly and supportive. As a person who has struggled with gyms in the past, I have had a very positive experience. I am working the Chelsea as my fitness coach/trainer and she is great and motivating and super helpful.

Henvy Xiao

Absolutely adore this gym!!! The coaches are very professional and friendly. Yes it is a business but it also is a community that cares about your well-being. As a non-binary person of color, I was always afraid of going to a gym. But the vibe of this gym is beyond! I really appreciate StudioMe for being a safe space for me! 10 months of my finiteness journey are done and more to go.

Ellen Joseph

After almost 20 years of training at other gyms, I started personal training at Studio ME with Robin in late spring 2022. I found him to be so knowledgeable and professional and respectful. He really listened to how I like to train, what matters to me, and of course my goals. He's also a charmer...what a fun personality and so upbeat and positive! The gym is spotless, organized and equipped with everything, both for exercising and pre/post workout readiness. I was lucky to find a gym so close to home and a trainer that really "fit"....thanks, Studio ME!

Eunice Wang

I really enjoy my time with StudioMe so far. I had a 3 month private and moved to semi-private now, and have already seen results. Billy, my trainer, pushes me hard and keeps challenging me in very session. I also enjoy the group classes during the weekend. This is a great community!

Jennifer Steenerson

My sister has raved about her “gym” for years, sure I saw results in her physically, but it’s the accommodations, the community and the accountability that took the spotlight. After finally moving to Minneapolis I added Studio ME to my things I have to check it for myself list. The Foundations class was a perfect lens to view Studio ME. I was immediately put at ease by the staff, Kailey, is sooooo sweet and supportive. I think the last time someone cheered for me was in high school… but people cheer and encourage you and that fills my bucket. Also, I love that there aren’t mirrors everywhere. Coaches work on your form, which eliminates the need to stare into a mirror and I also think it’s helpful when you’re working on your body image. I look forward to my fitness journey!

Chelsey Ackerman

With a recent relocation back to the Midwest I was struggling with finding a gym and fitness community that felt like the right fit for me. I stumbled upon Studio ME and began “spying” on their fitness model for a few months before I was brave enough to inquire more about their programs. Megan went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and listened to my personal story and health struggle. Her personalized touches and warm embrace made me feel apart of a community and team I hadn’t even joined yet. After our initial encounter I had no doubt this was the right place for me, but still wasn’t quite ready to join. I continued to watch from afar for a few months before finally making the leap to join and I am so thankful I did. Over the last month I have continued to feel better everyday and rebuild confidence in my mental/physical ability (even my husband has noticed). The sense of community and accountability has been amazing and I’m so happy to be apart of Studio ME!

Courtney King

I was a member at StudioME back in 2018-2019. Since then, I moved out of state and had to find a new gym. I’ve tried several different small group studios, and I have not been able to find a gym that has the same energy, effectiveness, and close-knit atmosphere as StudioME. I didn’t realize how good I had it at the time! So thank you, and keep up the great work! You and all of your trainers truly care about your members and offer such great hands on training and feedback on proper form, even in small group sessions, and I appreciated that so much!

Katie Petroff

I recently started working with Coach Kailey. It has been such a positive experience. I don’t have a lot of experience working out and she had taken the time to make sure I feel comfortable. Everybody at the gym is so friendly and they offer a lot of events and services.

Angelina McDowell

I started here in August after over 10 years of inconsistent workouts. I took the foundations course to try things out and get a feel for the environment. I'm currently taking the bootcamp class twice a week and I freaking love it. Coach Sami will get you to put in WERK! The coaches guide and train you up in a way that is safe so you don't get injured by giving modifications and making sure you have good form. The members are friendly and respectful of one another. I appreciate the community they nurture in the gym and outside of the gym by having volunteer events or group activities such as hiking, or the fundraising events such as Run/Row/Drink to raise money for families in need. This is not just a gym, it's a community of people with different abilities, bodies, and there to take of themselves and support each other. I'm really grateful to have found this place.

Kevin Knight

I've been a member of Studio ME for just over four years and have enjoyed every minute. I initially was looking for a gym that offered classes that incorporated kettle bell training, which lead me to Studio ME and I haven't regretted that decision. Most recently, I have been taking semi-private training with Coach Robin. At the beginning of the year I gave Coach Robin my goals, which would incorporate more strength training. With his guidance I have set PR's in my bench, squat, and deadlift, all while staying healthy and getting a good variety of other training such as rowing, kettle bells, and mobility work. In addition, classes are fun and something I look forward to attending. I've also found that Studio ME is more than just a gym, it's a community. The coaches are very supportive of everyone in the gym. In addition, the members help support each other which is something I truly appreciate. As an added bonus, I have gained many new friends during my time at Studio ME and that is something I don't think would happen without this community atmosphere.

Erin Jansa

StudioMe has been really good to me. I started here years ago, drawn in by the new challenge of rowing. The classes are small, the members fun and encouraging, and the coaches know you as an individual and work with you to meet your own goals. I had an injury that sidelined my fitness for quite a while. But StudioMe was really open and flexible in letting me modify and adapt exercises to get myself back to the club. I’m in my 50s and love that StudioMe members are all ages and fitness levels, getting together to be healthy.

Kaylie Burns Gahagan

Update two years later: still at the studio and still love it. I've made some changes to my schedule in the last year and now do semi-private training with Robin. He's helping me work on some mobility and endurance that will benefit my (semi-serious) broomball career. I love supporting a small, woman and neighbor-owned NE business and couldn't recommend it more highly. ** Studio ME quickly became my favorite place, even during a stay at home order. Megan, the owner, is fun and nimble and able to make folks feel good and safe in-person and virtually. It hasn't been a challenge to stay healthy (and get more healthy!!) for me during this time, primarily because of my time at Studio ME.

Ruta Johnsen

After a “gentle” nudge from a friend, I connected with Megan at StudioMe in May 2020. I was interested in making some positive changes and focusing on my health and fitness. But, I was concerned about starting any new adventures in midst of the pandemic. Megan was fantastic. I met with Megan virtually to discuss my goals, my needs, and my struggles. Megan was engaging and very quickly understood what I was looking for. She was great about offering me different options at StudioMe and worked with me on selecting the best one. My journey with StudioMe started with three virtual personal training sessions with Robin. During these sessions, Robin worked with me on identifying specific goals, assessing where I was at with my movement, strength and limitations, and nutrition. I was at first skeptical about my ability to get a good workout in virtually. It was amazing how well virtual training sessions worked. I was moving, I felt challenged, I received great instruction and feedback, and all out of the comfort and convenience of my own home. I was also able to try out virtual classes. Again, my experience was great. I was able to follow along, engage with the instructor and receive feedback and modifications for exercises that I could not do. I have been very impressed by the safety precautions that StudioMe has taken in reopening this summer during COVID. I felt reassured enough to start attending StudioMe in person. I now split my workouts by doing some in person at StudioMe and some virtually from home. Having the flexibility to do this is wonderful! I now work with Robin, who is fantastic. He listens to my feedback (not the whining though) and does not fail to find new ways to keep me engaged and challenged. I look forward to my workouts, I feel stronger and more motivated. StudioMe is a great place!

Caitlin Jones

Studio ME has been an amazing find in my neighborhood. After taking off over 2 years from the gym, Studio ME was able to customize a great plan for me and pair me with the best trainer, Chelsea! There is no pressure from the staff and everyone knows your name and greets you with a smile. Chelsea has been a great coach for me: patient, positive, consistent, and a good communicator! I've been doing 1:1 trainings with her for almost 5 months and feel so much stronger every day.

Erin Armstrong

I have been with Studio ME since October 2020, and I could not have made a better decision. I wanted to do something for me, and as someone who has never lifted weights or worked out like this before I wanted a personal trainer so I could learn how to work out properly and in good form. I started out with twice a week and quickly was motivated to increase my sessions to 3 times a week. I really look forward to my private sessions with Sami, she is friendly, flexible, encouraging, and overall great energy to work with. The one on one attention assures me that I am getting the work out that works for me and my body until I feel confident enough to exercise with others. The owner Megan, has truly built a community that is welcoming, fun, and motivating. As someone who has never been quite a morning person my early morning sessions with Sami have been a great way to start my day, I feel energized and level headed, having some extra time to myself and establishing a routine has greatly helped my mental health. I already see progress in my body and feeling more comfortable and confident in my own skin. I’m looking forward to seeing more progress as I continue to get stronger!

Angie Pierach

Working with Sami over the last few months, has been nothing but fun, worthwhile and so good for my mental and physical health. I needed some accountability but Studio ME offers more than that - all the staff are super welcoming and the space is super clean. I feel like each workout is tailored to my needs and overall goals. Sami has been a fantastic coach! I feel stronger and healthier and look forward to continuing on this path.

Chelsea Karkula

The options for training at StudioME offer something for everyone! Are you looking to workout as part of a group? Try Bootcamp or Semi-private training. Interested in private training? You can train in studio or virtually, allowing exercise to be a part of your day no matter where you are. Working as a coach at StudioME, I enjoy supporting our clients as they work to live the highest quality of life possible and accomplish some impressive goals. If you are looking to be a part of an amazing fitness community (as a client or as a coach) contact us today!

Tara Steinbauer

I genuinely love Studio ME, and have been working out at Bootcamp classes for a couple months now. The classes kick my butt, the programming is thoughtful, and I've seen gains in just a few weeks time. Studio ME really cares about its community, and they work hard to make classes accessible to all ability levels. Most importantly (for me at least), the coaches are A++. They're knowledgeable, attentive, and make classes incredibly fun.

Tram Nguyen

Started my fitness Journey with StudioME 7 years ago, with approx. 1,000+ classes under my belt😊. Having so much fun the 7 years flew by! Throughout the past 7 years, StudioME has been my fitness rock, my reminder of how important my health and well being is! It’s my constant reminder of putting me FIRST! The team of Coaches are AMAZING to work with. They all have their individual styles, but work as a team to get the same results for the members putting us FIRST. It's a great community of members and coaches to be around, all very supportive in assisting you get to your goals. Last spring I started down my journey on the A12 program utilizing more heavy weights, have always been opposed to heavy weights thinking I would get bulky! Well I had to learn my self-going through the program the heavier weights worked on building strength and lean muscles in return helped burn my fat! I still get my cardio days in, but also in a semi private classes working with Robin (he’s great) on building my strength. Since the A12 program I have loss 1.5% of body fat, 1.9lbs of fat mass and gain 2.5lbs of muscle! Back squatting at 125lbs with 3 second pauses at the bottom! It’s definitely been a journey, knowing results don’t happen overnight! Putting in that work and commitment to long term health goals, I am still slowly working on that 😊 Studio ME gets 5 STARS across the board! If you are looking to jump start your fitness life, start at Studio ME. The offering of classes and instructors is for anyone at any level of your fitness journey and the members like myself are pretty cool, and fun to be around 😊!

Jake Pettit

I can’t say enough about how much I enjoy Studio Me! Megan and all of the coaches are really engaged with each member. I would absolutely recommend Studio Me to anyone trying to find a workout they enjoy.

Billy U

This gym is amazing!! Highly recommend for anyone looking to get fit outside of the typical gym culture. It's a community like no other, and the coaches are top notch! Love the fact that you're always with a trainer, no more wasted time not knowing what to do! Such a great place!!

Amy Moriarty

I joined Studio Me about 4 months ago because I was looking for something to get me excited about excercise. I have to say that I’m really glad I joined! I love it! I have one Personal Trainer session a week and take at least 2 classes a week. It is a reasonable commitment for me and I started feeling better about myself after 1 month after joining! The class sizes are small and the instructors are good about making sure you are doing everything with good form. Everyone from the owner to the trainers and instructors and other members are so friendly and welcoming. The studio offers a nice variety of classes and each one is a really good workout. I prefer to workout after work and on weekend mornings and so the class schedules work well for me. I like how you can sign up online a month (sometimes two months) in advance - it helps with keeping a schedule. I just feel like Megan has thought of everything to make sure you are getting what you need to improve yourself. It is just a great place.

UPDATE: I have now been with Studio ME for over 7 years years now! I love the functional workouts and how the things we focus on keep me flexible and strong. I had shoulder surgery a couple years ago and Megan worked with and supplemented my physical therapy schedule and helped me achieve full recovery. Many others must like the Studio Me approach since we are now in a brand new awesome (and larger) location. Check out the new location and give Studio ME a try! I have been working out at Studio ME for 2 1/2 years now and I can say I am in the best shape I have been in for years. The variety of classes and the way Megan always changes things up keeps it interesting, contributes to all around fitness, and keeps me injury free!

Ryan

I do semi-private training here twice a week. Prices are reasonable, space is well equipped, and the staff are all very friendly. Not much more you can ask for.

Janele Taveggia

I stumbled across Studio ME Fitness almost 3 years ago to the day when searching for a new fitness place that was close to home, offered a variety of exercise class types (strength, flexibility, stamina, & restoration), and offered small group classes. I love that the coaches have diverse fitness knowledge; the class types provide a full spectrum of exercise intensity; and the members include a variety of ages, body types, and athletic abilities. The options for virtual and outdoor classes during the pandemic this past year have allowed me not to skip a beat in my personal fitness routine. On top of being a top notch fitness studio, the community bond and goodwill that Studio ME Fitness represents is fantastic.

Teri Inderieden

Studio Me and the entire crew and community are amazing. The close proximity to downtown Minneapolis so I could do classes right after work is what got me in the door. But over the past few years, working with Megan, and having a dedicated coach to help me achieve my fitness goals has been what keeps me going! The community of people and the coaches (Andy/Chelsea you rock!) are all fantastic!

Kathryn H

UPDATE: I've now been a member at Studio ME for seven years, and still love it! The new location in Nordhaus is fantastic and the free covered parking is a huge bonus. Without Studio ME there would be no way I would be working out a minimum of two times a week. Being a member gives me the accountability I need to stay consistent. I really like how experienced the trainers are - they know how to push without causing injuries. Highly recommend Megan and crew! "I have been working out at Studio ME for more than two years and couldn't be happier with the experience and results. When I started there it had been a couple of years since I had really worked out and could barely do one push up. After hiring Megan as a personal trainer I've gained strength and lost body fat and inches. The location is excellent - right in NE Minneapolis/Saint Anthony Main near the river with a beautiful view of downtown. Personal training with Megan has been extremely important to me as it has kept me on track -- even when I don't feel like working out I always feel great when I leave. They also have a lot of group fitness classes - everything from high intensity interval training (HIIT) to yoga, too. Highly recommend!"

Joel Krause

I started training with Sami at Studio ME a few months ago, and am so happy I did. Sami is great at pushing me to work hard while also being flexible and adapting to work around pain and injuries. The energy is great: lots of friendly faces, encouragement and smiles from both coaches and other clients alike. Studio ME is a worthwhile investment in yourself!

Louis Haik

I highly recommend Robin De Castro after training with him for the last six months. Age and time had limited my ability and enjoyment to golf, ski, and bike at a high level due to lower back pain. Before considering any medical procedures, an orthopedic sport surgeon recommended strength training first. It took two years, but I finally took the advice. Robin developed workouts which strengthened my core and eliminated the pain I used to experience. On top of his university education, he is a very personable guy.

Jackie Millea

I started with personal training with Studio ME exactly 9 months ago, today I signed up for 12 more months! My overall goal is to get healthy, fit and strong. I am SO on my way! Every step of the way has been guided by my trainer who always had fitness appropriate exercises, a planned daily workout agenda, and just right amount of challenge and support. They have worked hard to accommodate my busy lifestyle with a willingness to change times when needed. Every workout is fun and challenging, I am seeing big changes, and I am so glad that I found them!

Kristin Knight

I can't recommend Studio me enough! I’m currently taking semi-private lessons and regular classes, but over the 4 years that I’ve been a member, I’ve done bootcamp and the 12 week program as well. Prior to finding StudioMe, I bounced around a few places, but never found a place that made me comfortable and interested in continuing to work out. The class programming is smart – the coaches work together to develop classes that are purposeful and enjoyable. At 50, I’m the strongest I’ve ever been, and I’m thrilled with the results I’ve seen (I have muscles!!). I was never interested in lifting weights and now I look forward to it. Coach Robin has an amazing ability to know what I can do and push me just enough to get me there safely. He watches my form, listens to my goals and feedback and develops my plan accordingly. We talk about nutrition, hydration, sleep and other aspects of overall health. But most importantly, it's FUN!

Danielle Gernes

StudioME has been a life saver during this crazy time! When things shut down Megan (the owner) immediately brought all the classes online with Zoom. AND made all the classes work with whatever you had at home, whether all you've got is you own body or if you've got weights, kettle bells, rowing machines, etc., options are provided in each class so it works for everyone. The coaching staff is Awesome and the classes are challenging--in a good way--so you really get a work out! I can't speak highly enough about StudioMe, the staff, the workouts, and the community that she has built! It's not like any other gym I've known. When you become a member you get signed up with one of the coaches. They can help you set goals and are available to reach out to with questions or when you want to re-set your goals, it's awesome! I became a member almost 2 years ago. I love that you have to sign up for the class times because helps me stay accountable to myself and show up. And you really get a good workout, something I just don't achieve left to my own devises. I loved this place before the pandemic but during it with all the emotional ups and downs that have come with this weird time it has been SO helpful to be able to keep moving my body and has helped me stay balanced. Not only did Megan and her coaches bring all the classes online they also started providing OnDemand workouts that you can do any other time of the day. I can't wait till we can all get back in person but until then I am so happy to be able to continue to workout at home and feel like I'm really getting a workout. If you're looking for a change in the new year, or anytime, I highly recommend checking it out!! One other thing I love. The members are a variety of ages, genders, and body types, real people just wanting to get it done :)

Andy Miles

Robin and everyone at StudioMe are great! They listen to your goals and create a program along the way to help you achieve them. Could not recommend them more!

Ashley H

I absolutely love this gym! I am a notorious gym-hopper; I have a hard time staying motivated and sticking to my gym memberships. This is the first gym that has actually made me want to stick around. All of the staff and other members are so welcoming, and you really feel part of a team right off the bat. At the same time, if you want to come in, get a work out in, and duck out, this gym works for that, too (sometimes socializing in a morning class just isn't in the cards). You can really make it what you want, which I have really appreciated. I also really like the group class structure. One of the reasons I lose motivation to go to the gym is that I don't always know what to do when I get there, but the great instructors have the workouts all planned out for you — they are the experts, after all! You can be a beginner that has never worked out or a body-builder, and they will help you reach your potential. I have felt stronger and more energized, and going to the gym isn't a chore as it has been previously. Also, I absolutely love Main Street in Minneapolis with the brick buildings, great restaurants, and the view of the Stone Arch Bridge on the river; the gym couldn't be in a better location. Megan and all of her staff are the coolest and most passionate people, and I could not recommend this gym enough!

Connie Gahagan

I recently retired from a sedentary career and was looking to make some positive life changes. My daughter-in-law (a 1 year StudioME member) suggested that I look into joining StudioME for guidance in getting myself in better shape. I started a 3 month private training program, 2X a week with Coach Andy right before the holidays. So glad I made that decision. I'm taking it slowly and loving that I'm noticing changes in my strength, stamina and flexibility, plus the bonus of my clothes fitting a little better! Getting myself into a fitness mindset and routine has been awesome. I just extended my private training for another 6 months. I really appreciate the approach at StudioME - a friendly staff and owner, who care about my results and work with me to ensure that I'm getting the guidance and support I need to succeed.

Shelby Litchy

StudioMe has changed the way I think about working out. It’s more than just “going to the gym” - Megan has built a wonderful community for everyone to push themselves and support each other. Joining a year ago has been one of the best fitness decisions I have made and I look forward to growing with this gym! It’s intense, fun, and I love it!

Erica Ripken

I don’t even know where to begin to tell you how much Studio Me virtual classes have impacted my life! I was so incredibly busy with work and my kids and I was not consistent with exercise and I could really feel how much that was taking a toll on me. My stress levels were high and I felt very low energy. I needed to try something new and have a community virtually. I reached out to Megan to see what her studio could offer. It’s been the best decision! Studio me virtual classes changed my life. I have been taking 3-5 classes a week and I can’t believe how different I feel. I have gained so much strength, energy, stress levels are low. I feel like a brand new person. The instructors and other members are the greatest and I have accountability partners. I love Studio Me!!

Kelsey Nelsen

I've been a member at Studio ME for almost a year, after taking on the 8 week bootcamp last February. The 45-minute classes are ideal for my schedule and I always leave feeling accomplished. I've noticed big changes in my strength and I've acquired a new appreciation of early mornings. The owner, instructors and community are something I have not found at any other gym in the area. I highly recommend checking out Studio ME!

Carrie Reay

I hadn't been to a gym in years and was pretty intimidated about getting into shape, thankfully Studio ME has exceeded my expectations and I am so happy I joined. The members and trainers are kind and fun. I am learning rowing, TRX and Kettlebells and the workouts are challenging - and they will continue to challenge me as I get stronger too. The instructors pay close attention to make sure your form is correct, I like the variety of classes, the times work great for my schedule, and I don't have to sign up too far in advance before they fill up. Also I feel like I am part of a community that will help support the commitment I've made to myself. It's a great place for those that are already fit as well as anyone just getting started.

Jeanne Filkins

I have been a part of this amazing fitness community for a number of years and I have had nothing but great experiences with everyone at Studio ME. I am a (slightly) older nurse who started personal training with Megan for maintenance after sustaining a work related injury. My reluctance with trying "another" work out place was quite apparent (I had been to other fitness centers, and I am not one those people who loved to work out). I never liked "belonging" to the bigger fitness centers where I felt lost and overwhelmed by everyone around me and would honestly dread going to the gym. However, after meeting with Megan, I found myself actually looking forward to giving Studio ME a try. After working solely with Megan, and eventually with Andy, and Siri, I eventually started attending group classes, which I loved. I showed up to do something better for myself and realized that I found a truly amazing place with people of different ages, body types and abilities, in a judgment free environment. Whether you are an avid fitness person, or you are just wanting to try something to better yourself for the first time in years, this is the place for you! You won't regret becoming a member of this amazing, positive fitness community. I am proud that I took the initial plunge to better myself and I finally have a place where I feel I really do belong.

Christine Lee

I love this gym! The variety of classes -- everything from rowing to TRX to kettlebells to yoga -- is terrific. The coaches give you a ton of personal attention and advice. I was an Orange Theory Fitness devotee for many years and truly like this gym better. The owner, Megan, has outstanding customer service and will really make sure the gym is a good fit for you and help you reach your goals. I feel like it is such a hidden gem -- super close to downtown, northeast, and the U of M campus -- and with more personal attention than I've gotten at any other gym. Highly recommend!

Jackie Millea

I have been working one on one with Coach Andy since June of 2018. During this time I have gained so much strength, fitness and well-being. I have committed to my health and I know I have committed, encouraging, and caring partners in my health goals. The coaches are very professional! Each day and week there is an exact plan for what muscle groups we are working, my coach has never missed a workout, and he listens to my needs. He is encouraging and always cheering me on! In fact I feel cheered on and welcomed by all the coaches. It is a studio for anyone who wants to feel welcomed, encouraged and supported to meet their wellness goals!

Alex Schlee

I've been going here for a few months, and I've greatly enjoyed my time here. The facility is clean and has a lot of great amenities (shower, lockers, free towels, dressing rooms, etc) in a small space. The trainers are all awesome, and even if you're in a big class like I am, they still take the time to help you keep up and meet your goals.

Ben Harriman

This place is fantastic. I love all of the instructors and the classes here. It's the first gym I've felt that the instructors and owner care about my well being instead of just being a source of income for them. Megan, the owner takes great effort in making sure everyone is doing things properly. From my first time rowing, 2 years ago to today, I've never had a bad experience at this gym. Come in and try a class, you will not regret it at all!

After a string of large gyms with creepy trainers & customers, small gyms with no support (or cleaning schedule), and everything in between, I stumbled across Studio ME and decided to give it a try though I had never done rowing or TRX. Megan, the owner, and the other coaches are committed to excellent form to avoid any injuries (important to me after having had gym injuries!). I have been going to the studio for about 5 months now and can't say enough about the care, attention, and community. As a newby, they also met with me to learn my goals and history, then assigned me a coach to help those goals and check in as I progress. I've been a member for 5 months have nothing by positive things to say of Studio ME!

Its a fun and inviting atmosphere! A great place for all fitness levels and abilities. I love all the personal attention the coaches give to their clients. Highly recommend Studio ME!

I found Studio Me through a simple Google search for Boot Camp programs to jump start my fitness regimen as I was going into fall. I did not expect to find what I really found. First, they offered a Boot Camp class at 6 pm! This is so amazing to me, as 6 am is not even on my radar. I am not even a functioning human until at least 10 am on any given day. Evening classes, and weekend classes available to me after 10 am are a pretty big deal in my world. Secondly, the instructors are ALL very accessible! I love the amount of support they give, and that they are so encouraging and positive. I don't feel pressure to compete with anybody but myself, or to prove anything to anybody but myself. The other members I have encountered have been so supportive, approachable, and encouraging as well! We literally cheer each other on, and it is so much fun to go to classes. This isn't your "show up with a perfect body, $110 workout pant with matching everything else, full makeup to fit in" kind of place. I feel totally comfortable showing up as I am; not in perfect physical condition, messy hair, no makeup, tattooed, just a normal 40-something weirdo. There is no one kind of person at Studio Me, and I LOVE everything about that. Even if I have had a terrible day, I feel great and I feel accomplished every time I leave Studio Me, and I am usually leaving there a sweaty, tired mess. Parking is usually a piece of cake, if you are a driver. Even though I live near Minnehaha Falls I can usually get to the studio in rush hour and be ready to go in about 20 minutes. I cannot emphasize enough how much I love Studio Me and how it is an investment that is well worth it for me. YES, it costs more than a regular gym membership, BUT I get small group training and I get to mix up my workouts every single time I am there. I get the support that I need to keep motivated; between the staff and the other members. I can use the 3-D body scanner to see my progress. I get to feel physically and mentally stronger, healthier, and more amazing; and that is the ultimate payoff for my investments. It is totally worth trying even one class. What do you have to lose that you don't WANT to lose?!

Megan and her team at StudioME are seriously the best. Class sizes are reasonable, so you feel like you're getting the attention that you need. All of the instructors have that great balance of gentle assertiveness, so you push yourself, and sincere care, ensuring that you're improving your health and doing exercises within your capabilities. Whether it's their phenomenal three-times-a-week Bootcamp or regularly scheduled classes, you can be assured that you will be getting top notch workout from instructors that want you to succeed. The fact that many of the classes involve Water Rowers also means that you get a great aerobic workout, without the aches and pains that you might experience by running or jogging. I am not a "group exercise" kind of person, but StudioME has converted me. With their help, I've lost 50+ pounds so far and I'm looking forward to continued improvements in my health!

Studio ME offers a mix of challenging classes taught by motivating instructors. Row and Flow, TRX Barre, and Kettlebell AMPD are just a handful of the fun sessions they offer to keep your fitness routine fresh. You will tone up and see results from your workouts, but the focus at Studio ME is always on living a healthy, well-balanced life (never preachy or intimidating). Once you meet this community of supportive trainers and members, you will never have to drag yourself to a workout again!

Kate Havelin

I LOVE Studio ME! Terrific coaches and a true community spirit make this an ideal gym. Even when we can't work out in the studio, Megan has organized a lively mix of Zoom classes and on-demand workout videos.

Melissa Chapman Haynes

I have been a member of StudioME for about 1.5 years now. I have been pretty fit my entire life...until I had three children in five years ;-) And I was honestly a little intimidated to get back into the swing of being active and taking care of myself. My colleague at work convinced me to give StudioME a try and WOW. The trainers are just amazing and everyone I have met in the small classes has been very friendly, supportive, and motivating. They offer a range of classes and are always trying to improve and be responsive to the needs of the members. I usually take classes with Megan, Siri, or Liz and they are all amazing in their own ways - EACH are very motivating and supportive. I typically attend classes that include rowing, TRX, kettlebells, and yoga/stretching/mindfulness. This is so much more than a studio, it is a welcoming and fun community.

Lindsay Burgess

Megan is amazing to work with! Knowledgeable about everything fitness, professional, yet friendly, and a wonderful team leader. Moving to virtual group classes during during this time so her clients won’t have to miss out on their workouts is brilliant, and they are moving on it fast. Highly recommend!

Sarah Harrington

Best gym/studio I have been to - the workouts are like nothing else I have tried and the atmosphere is supportive, yet still competitive. They have classes for everyone (and every ability); their small class sizes help customize workouts to fit you and your abilities. This isn't your run of the mill "big box" gym with no personality, or a "cult" like one where you don't feel welcome - this is a gym where you feel like people actually care about you and getting stronger and healthier together. Also...they have happy hour class on Friday - who can beat a workout that is followed by beer?!

Katie Nalepka

I absolutely love Studio ME and feel so lucky to have discovered this great community! The classes are small, the instructors are friendly and motivating and the workouts are fun and challenging and never the same! The variety of classes (TRX, Indo Row, Kettlebell, various Barre classes, Yoga/Restorative Yoga, foam rolling and other selfcare) provides a lot of options and keeps me coming back! Where else can you get such variety at ONE gym?! Besides the obvious 'classes' offered, Studio ME offers Bootcamps, movie nights, special holiday classes, and other events/workshops throughout the year. All of this just contributes to making Studio ME a wonderful community for all of those involved, come join us!!

Victoria Johnson

This place is great! I’m an older woman who had both knees replaced a few years ago, and started to move less and gain weight. Personal trainer (and studio owner) Megan was exactly the person I needed to instill confidence in me to move forward with the perfect program of exercise and diet. It’s not too much or I wouldn’t keep it up. In four months I have shed many pounds, and feel so much more fit. I look forward to my sessions at Studio ME!

Lisa Holland-Aaron

My life before training at Studio ME Fitness was pretty inactive. I had a bad habit of coming home, sitting down, drinking beer or wine and eating a lot of fatty foods. Not every night but enough where I didn't feel energized. Now I come home and eat dinner, go for a walk and get my burpees in! Sometimes I have beer and wine but it's not a regular thing anymore! I had a few injuries, one in particular was muscles spasms in my back a few years ago which kind of scared me so I stopped working out. Now I feel stronger and haven't had any spasms. I lost a total of 10 pounds since my first scan, in about 6 weeks! When I started at Studio ME Fitness I weighed about 213 pounds. I'm down in body fat, gained muscle, and am at 200 pounds in less than 2 months. I'd recommend Studio ME fitness because of the training and encouragement I receive, plus the challenges are fun! I'm the kind of person who needs to be held accountable so it's perfect for me. The small classes are exactly what I was looking for and I don't have to travel far from home. The people in my class are amazing and fun! Thank you Megan and I will continue to be a part of Studio ME❤❤❤

Rachel Cochran

Having recently moved to the Twin Cities, I was desperate to find my new fit family and a gym that could whip me back into shape. in an effective and safe manner. As a former endurance athlete and CrossFit member, my body was in need of some TLC! Recovering from injuries and worn out from running countless miles a year for over a decade, I need something different. I scoured the Internet, and while there are host of gyms throughout the cities, I kept returning to StudioME. After I took my first class, I was hooked. StudioME has something for everyone at every level. The combination of low impact, high-intensity strength training is super effective and NEVER boring! Classes incorporate body weight movements, dumb bells, kettle bells, water-rowing machines, and TRX. It keeps your body guessing! The programming is great for building a strong, lean body. Another plus is that it helps bust through plateaus! Also, if you’re a data junkie like me, you plot progress. StudioME uses the MyZone heart rate monitoring app. You can see your efforts in real time while you workout! And with periodic benchmark events and challenges, you can really track your progress and watch your fitness take shape. The most unique and compelling features of the studio are the built-in incentives and group support that starts from day one. Cyclical 8-week boot camps give members who need structure and accountability repeated opportunities to form healthy, consistent habits. The monthly challenges keep things lively and interesting, as well as offering chances to enter drawings for cool prizes like t-shirts, massage, or a free month of classes! I mean, sign me up! Who wouldn’t love that?! Another crucial characteristic, and perhaps best of all, is StudioME’s atmosphere and philosophy. The class sizes are small and intimate. The coaches and members are body-positive, warm, and welcoming. Megan and her team of coaches meet every member where they are on their fitness journey. Members cheer each other on. Coaches are eager to help. All aspects of fitness are addressed: nutrition, functional movement, flexibility, strength, endurance, and mobility. It is a total body experience that is addictive in the most positive way. At StudioME, fitness is not simply a class you take, it is a lifestyle you build with healthy moves.

Sue Powell

Excellent! Studio Me is an innovative fitness studio with small classes, a personal touch, and variety. TRX, rowing, and yoga plus several different class combinations guarantee you'll never have the same workout 2 days in a row (unless you seek it out.) Boot Camp is the best! Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Becca Zweber

The staff at this studio are energetic, fun-loving, and they work hard to make sure you get the most out of your workout. I can honestly say that I've never felt more in shape and strong after working out here for going on 3 months. You not only gain strength for your body but also a network of fantastic people (instructors and students). Megan & Erin (co-owners) have created something truly special!

Heather Olson

This is the BEST place I have found to work towards my fitness goals. I'm so thankful for Studio ME! Small classes and really attentive coaches ensure that I'm working safely and powerfully, and I'm grateful for all the extra attention to my individual needs. Could not be more thrilled.

Caroline M

After trying 5 different gyms over the past few years, this one is by far the best! The trainers take the time to get to know you and class sizes are small. They do a nice job changing up routines and pushing you! It’s a good place for those who like group classes and being part of a community with other members. Bootcamp is a great way to try it out for 8 weeks and jumpstart your fitness.

Kari-Ann Ediger

StudioME is THE BEST and MOST FUN gym I have ever been a part of! Megan (owner) works hard to create a sense of community {even online} and it shows. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you are at in your health journey, not only will you feel like you belong here -Megan and her staff will make you stronger! That’s just a fact. Everything behind the scenes is so well-thought out and seamless. I just come in & do what they tell me. A few short months later I’m stronger/more flexible/better posture/better sleep than ever before!! I love this gym and these people. I know you will too. #BePatience #NoJudgement #YouCanTrustThem #StrongBody #StrongMind

Si Matthies

I've worked out at a lot of gyms in downtown Mpls and suburbs and Studio ME is by far the best. Reasons why: 1. Small class size allows really knowledgeable instructors to focus on each participant's technique. 2. They use technology to help me get the most out of each workout. 3. Great combination of IndoRow, Kettle Bells and TRX ensure a complete, safe workout. 3. Very friendly, non-intimidating atmosphere.

Tea Berg

I joined StudioME via a Groupon deal, and will definitely continue going for the following reasons: 1. Workouts are short (45min) but explosive! I am a triathlete and I am breathless during some of the circuits. They leave you feeling very energized in the morning and a little sore the next day. Megan, the owner, is the Queen of TRX. She comes up with such creative and challenging exercises. 2. Trainers are attentive and make sure you are using the correct technique. They also encourage you to perform at your own pace and always show 2-3 modifications for an exercise. 3. Workouts target the whole body and I have noticed significant increase in my muscle mass and much more tone in my arms and abs especially. 4. Overall a fun atmosphere, upbeat music, chatty people. I used to go to Lifetime, and in a year I have not met a single person, while here workouts are more of a team effort. People that go to StudioME tend to do other active things in their free time so it’s a great way to find out about events happening next weekend etc. 5. Complimentary towels and water are awesome!

Elise Parks

I've been coming to Studio for years and it's been a great fit for me. I appreciate the focus on strength training (which has had the biggest impact for me physically) as well as the small class sizes, personable trainers, and variety of workouts which keep me engaged and coming back.

Rachel Charette

If you want a community of support and small group classes, this is the place! I've tried globo-gyms, CrossFit, yoga studios, running clubs, personal training...this studio is has done more for me in 8 months than I achieved in years at other locations. And I've made friends too! Great coaches, wonderful, welcoming atmosphere.

Marti Estey

Megan and Erin have fantastic energy and always kick my butt in a workout. I love the atmosphere and the classes they offer. In either 30mins or 45mins I can get a workout burning 3x more calories than I could do myself at the gym. I have very limited time – so I need to make every minute count….. Studio ME will be the best decision you make today.

Emily Subialka

Studio Me is my happy place :) My husband and I are both members and being a busy family with a young toddler, we really appreciate that our time at the gym checks off multiple boxes for us - we get a GREAT workout, get to socialize with great people, and get to support great causes through charity classes and events. I love the variety of classes. There is a strong focus on rowing (which is a wonderful total body workout on its own), but there is both a variety of rowing classes (try Total Body Row to hit all your muscle groups or Row and Flow for a great combo of rowing and yoga) and other great options like kettlebells, TRX (try TRX Barre for a killer ab workout) and yoga to keep things fresh. The gym is small which means individualized attention from wonderful instructors, flexibility in classes (think music requests and outdoor workouts), and a real sense of community and support from everyone else in class. Movie nights and special holiday classes are a bonus. All levels are welcomed and represented.

Pat sharma

I googled "fitness centers near me" and Studio Me came up. The location couldn't be better. So I gave it a try. I like the fact that it's more of a boutique style fitness center. The workouts with my trainer, Andy, are tailored to what my needs are and he understands the limitations that I have and he's working with me to gain strength back into those areas. Now I look forward to my work outs. Andy makes it fun!

Jean Chapdelaine

Can’t say enough good things about Megan and her crew of coaches. Through steady positive group training sessions my relationship with my body has completely changed and I’ve achieved my goal of a sustainable fitness program in my 40s. I’ve made some good friends and I feel like I’ve finally found the formula that works for me.

Michael Youness

Came here to correct my form and learn a bit and I have learned far, far more than I expected. Super amazing staff, great equipment, can't recommend it enough!

Debra Gagner

It's only been a few weeks - but I know I have found the right place to get back in shape! Small class size, motivating instructors, and a nice variety of workouts with rowing, TRX, Kettlebells & Yoga. I've got a ways to go and feel confident that with StudioME's help, that I will be fit again!

Meagan Jorjorian

I love Studio Me and have had the best experience with the training and classes. I would highly recommend!

Beth Miller

I have done every type of workout from P90X to Insanity to T25 to regular gyms, running, biking, etc. and this is the only gym that puts it all together and keeps me engaged. I have been a consistent member for over two years now and have never gotten bored. Also, the variety of workouts -- Kettlebell, TRX (used to train the Navy Seals), WaterRowing, Barre, Yoga, Shockwave, HIIT, etc. my body is always progressing and has not plateaued (I usually quit something when I stop getting sore after a workout). These are the nicest people you will ever meet as well as being fierce workout buddies to get you through the killer workouts.

jelena song

So much fun! I am a passionate runner who needs more core work and I found what I was looking for at Studio ME. Small class size, personal attention, fantastic workout, friendly and passionate coaches, and a great location. Thank you Studio ME!

Missy Schmidt

I love StudioMe. I’ve been a lifelong runner but never worked on my strength or core. StudioMe has made a huge difference. Reduced body fat and improved overall performance. Love the class variety and focus on overall health.

Robyn Kutney

Fantastic trainers in a small group fitness setting! The workouts are innovative and fun, and you can see results from the variety of HIIT, cardio, strength and stretch practices. From indoor rowing to TRX, there will be plenty of options to suit your style.

Paige Stradley

Rowing is something new and fun to do. And the instructors and other members are a great group to be around. Plus, if it's nice out they move the rowing machines outside you can enjoy the fresh air. Would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Julie Steenerson

Studio Me has given me my fitness motivation! I love Bootcamp, the outstanding customer service from Owner Megan and her team of instructors and the personalized approach to my health and strength goals!

Summer Fosdick

This place is very welcoming and helpful. When the classes are small it is like having your own personal trainer. After going to 1 - 2 classes the instructors know your name and begin to know all about you. This is a place you can make friends and be healthy!

William Stoeri

They provide a great balance whereby you are in a group but can work at your own level. The coaching similarly balances leading the group but also giving individual instruction on form, technique, etc. And they make it fun!

Tyler Cooper

I have been taking bootcamps from the owner for years, and am really excited to see her finally get a place of her own. One of the few places in Minnesota that has a focus on Rowing, but has a ton of other class options as well.

Cassie Wilder

StudioMe is THE place you should join if you want the best community, an awesome workout and encouraging instructors! I would highly recommend!

Gayle Hilahl

Do you want a good work out and to know that the trainers truly care about you and develop relationships with others working as hard as you — StudioMe is the place to be!

Cindy Chapman

Although I’ve usually done some type of exercise or class, with personal training at StudioME I’m learning better form which makes all exercise more effective.

Lauren A

Great workouts, staff and an owner who really cares about your progress. Definitely worth the investment. Highly recommend!

Elizabeth Harriman

Great place to workout with instructors that care and a community of people that are constantly improving in the way that fits each individual best!

Trish Demko

Great studio with a small group setting guaranteeing the attention and collaboration to reach your fitness goals!

Will D

I can't get enough of ME! All kidding aside, I love this place. Their attention to detail and enthusiasm will keep me coming back.

Sarah Walbridge-Jones

Great instructors, small sized classes, fun people!

Emmah Pieper

Great Team and super caring staff!! All the members are friendly and make being nervous impossible!

I already have a five star that’s why I give another five star wow

Jennifer McComas

I've been a member at Studio ME for 7 years and I can't imagine a better gym or trainers. I get bored easily but Abby and the other trainers keep the workouts varied, fresh, and motivating. I consistently reach personal bests and proper form is ALWAYS the first priority, which I really appreciate. They also provide modifications to allow me to do a rigorous work out despite a chronic physical limitation. You will love Studio ME!

Jay Ham

I am not someone who loves to work out but that has changed after spending some time at Studio ME. This environment is so fun and positive I feel like I am part of something special. I am exited for the future for myself and Studio ME!

David Charon

LOVE Studio ME and coach Abby is Incredible!! Challenges me when I need it, gives me tips to improve my form and get the most out of every workout, and motivates me to keep going!! I finish every session so invigorated and proud of what I can accomplish!!
