I have not exercised in a long time. I am active, but very deconditioned. I have bad knees and my goal is to strengthen my knees along with the rest of my body. I made Erik and the others who I work with know about my sore knees. They help me with exercises that don't cause me pain. I have been to places that don't care and just want you to work through the pain. This is a really great place. I would recommend it to anyone at any activity level and age group.

Joining CrossFit Prior Lake was my first experience with CrossFit, and I couldn't be more thrilled with my decision. For the past decade, I had barely exercised due to the demands of raising three young children and working full time. Adding to my concerns, I had undergone back surgery just three months before starting at CrossFit Prior Lake. However, Josh, the owner and main coach, made all the difference in my recovery and fitness journey. He was extremely aware of my condition and showed me how to modify the movements to prevent any risk of reinjury. Josh is not your typical "meathead" coach; he's incredibly approachable, friendly, and helpful. His guidance was invaluable not only for me but also for my 11-year-old son, who joined me in this adventure. Josh took the time to ensure we both learned how to use the equipment properly and master the CrossFit moves. The community at CrossFit Prior Lake is phenomenal. Everyone was super friendly and supportive, making us feel welcomed from day one. I never felt intimidated, only encouraged and uplifted by the positive atmosphere. My son loved it too, and the encouragement he received from the other members was heartwarming. CrossFit Prior Lake has not only helped me get back into regular exercise safely but also provided a wonderful bonding experience for my son and me. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive, knowledgeable, and family-friendly fitness community.

Love this gym!! Great small, intimate environment. I took a year off training after my old trainer passed unexpectedly. I was struggling on which gym to choose. I’m not a big, busy Lifetime kind of gal. I found this gym and recognized Erik as a trainer from a very old gym I used to go to so I thought I would give it a try. The staff really cares and is very supportive. I train with Kaleb and he is awesome! joined the 8 week FAT method. I was skeptical at first as I’ve always struggled with my weight. I found the program easy to follow and effective without calorie counting! The program works and I feel great!!! I would recommend this gym to anyone wanting to start or continue their fitness journey!

I've been training at Puravida Fitness for over a decade, and I can confidently say it has been one of the best decisions for my health and well-being. Suffering from arthritis, I was often in pain and struggled with finding the right exercise regimen. However, the personalized approach at Puravida has made all the difference. One of the standout aspects of my experience is my trainer, Tracy. Tracy's expertise and dedication are unparalleled. She takes the time to understand my specific needs and continuously makes adjustments to my routine to ensure I'm getting the most benefit without exacerbating my arthritis. Her knowledge of fitness and her ability to tailor workouts to individual clients' needs are truly impressive. Thanks to Tracy, I've seen a significant reduction in my arthritis pain, and I feel stronger than ever. Her encouragement and guidance have helped me achieve milestones I never thought possible. Tracy's attention to detail and her genuine care for my progress make each session both effective and enjoyable. Puravida Fitness provides a welcoming and supportive environment that is perfect for anyone looking to improve their health, regardless of their fitness level or health challenges. I highly recommend both Puravida Fitness and Tracy for anyone seeking a dedicated, knowledgeable, and compassionate fitness experience.

Pura Vida Fitness is fantastic! I highly recommend it. My Trainer Eric does an excellent job with older athletes like myself. Being 60 I need a trainer who will challenge me but not push so hard I injure myself. He does a good job of balancing the intensity of the workout with proper stretching and preparation.

Puravida is amazing! I’ve been member of many gyms over the years and this one is by far my favorite. The classes are fun, challenging and non-competitive. The trainers and Erik are so supportive and encouraging. As someone who struggles with food related issues and a poor body image, this place has completely changed my outlook. I can’t advocate for Puravida enough!!

I recently decided that I needed to lose some weight and I did. Well, after you lose weight you have flabby skin. A friend of mine suggested Puravida Fitness. I reached out and Erik got to work. He had a workout and nutrition plan for me. I am working out on regular basis but I needed some help to work smarter not harder. I did 3 months program and I could definitely see the difference. Workouts were hard but you also see the results. I would definitely recommend the club, especially if you’re not a fan of big clubs or intimidated with the way you look. Thank you Erik!

Awesome staff who really care about their customers. I have been attending group fitness classes for several months, and during this time have had a few physical setbacks. I have had multiple staff members reach out to me to check in and see how I am doing while I recovered. This is not just a gym, this is going above and beyond to create relationships and showing concern for the person, not just the number on the scale or the amount you can lift. I have been incredibly impressed with the trainer’s ability to modify workouts to meet every need, and the variety of movements to always keep the classes fresh. I would highly recommend Puravida to anyone who doesn’t feel a fit at the big box gym options, and who are looking for highly knowledgeable, quality trainers.

Great training. Excellent results. Not a meathead gym. They meet you where you are at in your journey to lifelong fitness and health. Of course you can chase audacious strength goals or just straightforward health and fitness and everything in between. Erik is an amazing leader of body and soul. Highest recommendations all the way around. I’ve lost 28 pounds so far and continue on the path down to a more ideal weight without fads or things that won’t last. If you want to get some lifelong tools to stay fit, this is your place!
