I have been to a lot of gyms and have yet to find a place where I really feel that the owner/staff care about my life and fitness goals until now. Caitlin Hogan puts so much energy, time, and passion into this place and it shows. Her programing has a purpose and a goal to it - not to mention the variety she provides. Whether you are an avid lifter, new lifter, just looking to get in shape, looking to build endurance, looking to build strength, interested in nutrition, or just want to break a sweat she has a program for you. This place teaches proper technique in all their movements and emphasizes quality and improvement rather than ego. Not convinced come in and check it out 🙂 It's an easy going, fun and accepting community not to mention a business that is well run, dependable, and professional.

This gym tops them all! I've been training in one way or another from an early age. Now that I am in my 50's, I know how important weight bearing exercise is for bone density. This is my go to gym and workout. The best trainers starting with Caitlin Hogan!! Every trainer at this gym is more than qualified and I trust that I am supervised and consistently corrected when my form or technique is not on point. Thank you, Cassie, Josie, Sasha, Gabe, BJ, Jez and all the staff at The Annex! I am grateful to you all. : )

“This facility is not your typical gym. I have been a member of Fourth Street Annex for a year now, and I can say it is the best fitness center in the area, if not in the state. The owner and coach, Caitlin, knows her stuff, and is passionate about bringing health and fitness to the community.”

“I can't believe how lucky I am to have this gym so near where I live! I've been training here for about 4 months now, and I can see and feel all the amazing progress I've made. I only wish I'd only found it sooner! I've been to and heard of gyms who push you into hurting yourself, but there is always a top-notch trainer (Caitlin's an ACTUAL Olympian) helping to correct form issues and give you pro-tips. Everyone is out to get better here, and I can see the level of care of the owners reflected in the quality of equipment, trainers, and the daily programming. I cannot recommend this gym enough!!”

Like most individuals I joined CrossFit to get stronger, lose weight, and be in the best shape of my life. But what I found was more than that. I was going through the worst break-up of my life in 2011, I was 175lbs, newly diagnosed hypertensive, and going down a spiral of death (yes dramatic I know, but I truly was). I needed a game changer. That’s when I joined the Annex VIP Semi Personal Training Crew. Coach Caitlin rebuilt my foundation to ensure that I can continue to pursue an active lifestyle. The techniques she taught me was everything my old coaches told me not to do. Her style of coaching was to work on the entirety of the body and not just focus on specific movements. She wanted me to grow mentally and physically. Her coaching and mentoring did not stop there, she brought nutrition and mobility into my regimen. In regards to nutrition, she built meal plans that catered to my specific goals, included some of my favorite foods, and was easy to sustain. She gave me the realization that nutrition is not about fad diets, it is a lifestyle change.

“The place is spotless. No chalk stains in the floor, no dirty bathroom and no equipment clutter. I'm most impressed by Coach BJ's obvious knowledge of human body mechanics and his ability to utilitze science to help make his athletes more efficient with precision. It's all to often coaches and trainers stand by traditional training methods when there's significant research available to help an athlete attain a goal without their body taking a beating. I love this place”

Oh my goonies, there's tons of things i could say about my training and nutrition! First of all, i'm loving getting stronger! It's fun and exciting reaching new personal bests. I was eating whole foods before my meal plans but I wasn't eating the right amount for me so i felt sluggish and sad at times. With the meal plans the Annex created for me, I now have tons of energy and best of all, I feel great! I couldn't be happier with my nutrition plan and training. This program has been one of my greatest investments for myself.
