Genetics Gym STL — Local services in Maplewood

I’ve been working with Mike at Opex Gym in Maplewood for a month now. I’ve worked with other trainers in the past and Mike far exceeds my past experiences. Other trainers were knowledgeable and showed me many, many exercises to do in the gym. But I always walked away knowing lots of things I COULD do, but not having a definitive plan to work out at the gym on my own. Mike is much more focused. I learn something from him every time I train with him, and the focused approach gives me a baseline I can work from when I’m traveling and working out on my own. Another really great point is the knowledge and expertise Mike applies to each individual client. He customizes the experience based on each person’s abilities and he can “read” each person’s body to design the perfect workout. I’m a 65 y/o female, and have found myself thinking, “There’s no way I’ll be able to do that exercise.” But each time I express my doubt, Mike reassures that he thinks I can, based on what he sees in how I move. He encourages me to challenge myself and I can definitely feel myself getting stronger and more fit. There is plenty of great equipment at the gym. And the gym is clean and a pleasant place to work out. I highly recommend this gym for anyone serious about improving your health and...

I have been coming to OPEX for about six months. Therefore, I believe that I have the perspective to write a review. I was looking for a personal trainer, but found something better than that. My main goal was/is to be consistent, and I think OPEX concept allows you to do that. You have to sign up for your workouts. You can sync the website with your calendar, so all your workouts are on your calendar. I love that! It helps me to stay accountable and come in, even when I don't always feel like working out. Of course, my workouts and the atmosphere at the gym are what I love the most. Your couch will get to know you and write a personalized workouts that will suit you and your goals. Your workouts might change based on your health, personal life events, etc.... and I think it is very important for the longevity of your fitness journey. No matter what your fitness goals are, you should give it a try, and I hope you will fall in love with taking care of your physical body at OPEX, as much as I and other...

I have had an outstanding experience at OPEX Stl Central. Mike W, my trainer, reached out to me immediately following my info request to get me scheduled for an intro chat. We had a positive, zero pressure convo where he asked a lot of thorough questions regarding my goals and workout history. All of my workouts so far have reflected how closely he listened during that intro.

This is the fourth trainer I’ve worked with in the past few years at different gyms, and this is the first time I’ve had workouts that meet me where I’m at. I’ve heard zero times “oh come on, you can do it.” Or “that’s fine, just don’t do it.” In other words, I’ve never felt like I’m being thrown some random cluster of exercises from a magazine, or doing the workout he personally likes to do.

As a female, the atmosphere of the gym is great. Lots of females there working hard, everyone knows how to make eye contact, say hi, and let you work out. Very welcoming place. ...
