Stage 3 Fitness — Local services in Duluth

I love this place! You will find a beautiful, well-organized, enormous, open, clean space to workout in with top of the line equipment. It is the perfect set up for ALL fitness levels. The format involves 45 minute long scheduled group classes rotating through different stations consisting of free weights, bikes, rowers, treadmills, cable machines, etc. starting as early as 5a on the weekdays with the last classes starting at 630pm M-Th. (Friday until 4:30pm). Several classes are also offered Sat morning. The workouts are custom designed to be different every single day with a friendly, down to earth trainer onsite to explain/demo the workouts, keep time, inspire confidence, ensure proper form & safety, and keep everyone motivated. If you are advanced and/or shy & feel like you don't need any help from a trainer that's ok too. You are free to rotate through the stations without interacting with staff at all. Stage 3 uses an easy app for scheduling classes. A large screen on the wall displays MyZone stats if you choose to wear a heart monitor during the workout. This place is always upgrading their space and offering additional fitness add-on options such as pilates, kick boxing, aerial and yoga classes. You can also opt for nutrition consults & in body measurements. Several voluntary challenges are also run throughout the year if you like a little friendly competition. Please give it a try if you are looking to get active and clear your head. Especially if you get bored easily and prefer lots of variety in your workouts. The same trainers have been on staff for YEARS, so you can always count on the same great people to plan the workouts and keep you on track if you are like me and need extra motivation. I am a female in my late 40s and struggle with my weight. I never feel intimidated or defeated by the workouts at Stage 3. The trainers always give modification options so you can adapt the workout just right for you. Stage 3 offers a FREE trial for new clients!!! I promise you will be pleasantly surprised if you just...

I’m not usually someone who writes reviews—mostly because I’m lazy 😊 but I really felt like I had to make an exception for Stage 3 Fitness.

This isn’t your typical fancy gym with flashy equipment and mirrors everywhere. It’s something better—it’s a supportive, tight-knit community of fitness enthusiasts who show up for each other every day and push through an intense 45-minute to 1-hour session together.

The trainers aren’t celebrity icons, but that’s the best part. They’re real, down-to-earth people who are incredibly fit and deeply knowledgeable about what they do. They motivate, guide, and genuinely care about your progress.

If you live in or around the area, joining Stage 3 is honestly a no-brainer. I’ve got a hectic work life, and this place has become my sanctuary. It’s the one hour of the day where I can disconnect, challenge myself, and feel grounded.

Big thumbs up from me. Couldn’t...

I love this gym for many reasons. First, the classes are always different so it keeps it exciting and challenging. I have been a member of the big gym for several years and never had great results. I found out that I just was not doing what was required. I would spend 2 hours in the gym and now I am in and out in 45 mins and I am in the best shape of my life. The instructors/coaches work well with each person because they walk around to make sure that each person is keeping proper form and being challenged at their level. They also work hard to remember everyone's name. There are no contracts and there are a variety of options for how to pay for classes. The owner is focused on keeping his customers happy, healthy and providing them with great results. Everyone who is a first time guest is welcome to try out a few...
