Our story
The story behind Encore and the values that shaped our community.
Personal Training the Encore Way...
We’ve all been to gyms that feel intimidating, impersonal, or overwhelming. Places where you’re left to figure things out on your own.
Encore was created to be different.
Founded in 2015, our vision was simple: create a welcoming environment where everybody feels supported, regardless of their age, experience, or fitness level.
We believe strength training should be accessible, enjoyable, and something that improves your life both inside and outside the gym.
Today, Encore is more than just a gym. It’s a community built around expert coaching, genuine support, and helping people become stronger, healthier, and more confident for life.
