Having someone watch my form and help me make the minor corrections has helped me stay injury free while also getting so much stronger to be able to keep up with my kids. If you have ever felt lonely in a gym or unsure of where to start, The Gauntlet is for you. In the 5 months I have been coming I have yet to do the same workout twice. Tori is always mixing it up and adding in fun and challenging exercises. And the family I have gained from these women is something I will never stop being grateful for.”

Yes, she’s helped me get stronger, healthier, and more confident, but what stands out the most is the friendship we’ve built along the way. She isn’t just a trainer who shows up to count reps—she listens, she motivates, and she genuinely cares. She’s been there to push me on tough days, celebrate wins (big and small), and remind me of my own strength when I forget it. I honestly consider her more than a trainer—she’s a true friend who has made such a positive impact on my life inside and outside of the gym. I can’t wait to keep growing and crushing goals with her by my side. 💪”

She’s pushed me in ways I never thought possible, but always with encouragement and support. Physically, I’m stronger, healthier, and more confident in my own body than I’ve been in a long time. Mentally, she’s helped me shift my mindset—teaching me to celebrate progress, not perfection, and to believe in myself even when things feel hard. This journey has been about so much more than workouts. It’s about showing up for myself, creating habits that actually stick, and proving to myself that I can do hard things. I’m so grateful to have her in my corner, cheering me on and challenging me every step of the way. ❤️”

Love the community and how welcoming everyone was and the friendships I have made along the way. The women, who also motivate each other and cheer each other on. The coaches, love how inspiring they are. How they push you because they know you can do it. All in all I feel better and stronger everyday.”

From the moment I walked in, I felt at home. Victoria and Luis are the trainers I wish I had found years ago 🥹. They cheer you on, push you in the best way, and make you feel truly cared for. Their guidance, encouragement, and genuine care have completely changed my life. I feel stronger, healthier, and better than ever, and I owe it all to them and this amazing community. The Arena isn’t just a gym… it’s THE gym ❤️"

 Without the support of the group classes & friendships built, I would not be nearing my one year anniversary. And without the inspiration of our Coach Tori, I would not believe in myself that I could do it. Her own story which she shares so beautifully, and the words of motivation that she pours into us all with each lift, have given me an inner trust that I have never had. When I miss a class, I crave it. When I need a modification, she provides it. When I need advice on meals or supplements, we share it all. This is the community I didn’t know I needed and I would gladly keep coming back for years to come."

 Tori radiates such great energy, demonstrates proper form, and pushes us to our max! She works around injuries and shows modifications and/or other options, if needed. Over time, she sees our potential and has no problem suggesting a heavier weight. Although we may be unsure at times, Tori never doubts our strength. The instructor, location, music, members, and overall vibe keep us looking forward to each and every class. Even on days where we may not be feeling it, these things are why we keep showing up! The classes consist of such a diverse group of people with similar goals and are the highlight of my days! ❤️‍🔥"
