What makes Progression Fitness different?
INNOVATIVE. PROGRESSIVE. HIGHLY EFFECTIVE. SUSTAINABLE.
Progression is unique in that we bridge the gap between big box gyms and micro gyms, bringing together the best from all worlds. With a full-time experienced staff, we have the answers to your fitness and health questions.
Progression group classes are and always will be our core, but we offer much more, including 24-hour open gym access, personal training, nutrition coaching, online coaching, workout tracking technology, a spacious and very clean facility, top-of-the-line equipment, all in an atmosphere that maintains a positive fitness community and individualized feel.
Donna is the perfect example of true perseverance. How long does it take to lose weight? How long does it take to build muscle? How long does it take to feel good in your body, buy smaller clothes, eat for nutritional support, do a box jump, do a pull-up, go hiking if you wanted to?!
The real answer is that the work is never really over. We never stop working towards our goal of health and fitness, building on each day, increasing and/or maintaining our physical independence so that we can live, work, do, and be.
Instead of focusing on what we can lose or gain in 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, what if we ask ourselves a different question? How will you feel at 60-70-80-90 years of age? What will you be able to do? Where will you be able to go?
The rollercoaster of life will always have its ups and downs, and what matters most is that you don’t get off the ride. Keep choosing to show up, even if you took time off. Keep choosing to show up, even if you can’t give 80%, 90%, or 100%. Just keep showing up.
The Progression Training Formula
Strength is at the core of everything we do.
At Progression, we use innovative, functional training methods designed to make you stronger for real life—both inside and outside the gym. Our daily workouts are constantly varied to keep things fresh, challenging, and effective.
We blend strength-focused resistance training with high-intensity intervals, hypertrophy and aesthetic work, metabolic conditioning, and cardio—creating the ideal balance for improving how you look, feel, and perform. Every workout is carefully crafted with intention, utilizing the best of proven training methods to deliver real, lasting results.
You’ll find a welcoming, non-intimidating environment where everyone trains at their level—whether you're a retired grandma, a busy parent, or a weekend warrior. Our community thrives on encouragement, progress, and fun—and we scale every workout to meet you where you're at.
No matter your starting point, we all move forward together, with strength leading the way.
Meet the Owners: Joshua & Jennifer Grenell
Progression Fitness was founded in 2010 by Joshua Grenell with one mission in mind: to help adults build real, lasting strength and live healthier lives. A lifelong fitness professional and former registered nurse, Joshua brings a deep understanding of both movement and health to every aspect of the gym’s philosophy and programming.
He is also the author of Fitness First, a book that challenges traditional views on exercise and encourages people to prioritize strength, movement, and long-term well-being over quick fixes and superficial aesthetics.
His wife, Jennifer Grenell, is not only active in the gym community but also serves as a Diabetic Nurse Practitioner at the Mayo Clinic. Her medical expertise and compassionate approach help reinforce Progression’s commitment to sustainable, long-term health.
Together, Joshua and Jennifer have created more than just a gym—they’ve built a trusted space where everyday people come to get stronger, move better, and feel their best. Josh’s website can be found HERE.
