Core Fitness, which used to be Dixon Fitness is my favorite workout spot. Everyone is friendly. It's affordable, and the new gym is incredible.

Curves it's only 30 mins and can change your life. If you never have worked out or just can't find the time this is your place. There is also Zumba 5 hours a week to help change the workout. Next time you see me ask to see my muscles I only workout at Curves.

Ramtown Karate is by far my absolute FAVORITE place to work out. Being a Ramtown student for over ten years, it's become a second home to me. Everyone who goes to Ramtown forms a family like bond, and the atmosphere is amazing. Everyone is so encouraging and motivational! The classes are wonderful and really get you into shape! Individuals work out at their own pace, and it's great for adults, teens, children, and families. It's big, clean, and there are so many different workouts to try! :)

Ramtown Karate, if you want to be in the best shape of your life you come here. The atmosphere is very family oriented, the workouts are killer, and it's the best place to come to relieve stress. I vote Ramtown for best place to workout!
