"Sick and Tired of Being Sick…"
One of the things we know non-clients out there are struggling with is knowing they need to do something to change their health, but they are overwhelmed. It seems like a huge mountain to climb, with the apex (get it?) seeming impossible to reach. Diana started there, too. “I decided I was sick and tired of literally being sick and tired. But, I was lost on where to start on what seemed like a gian... READ MORE

"Personalized Training Has Made…"
Tim is a lover of all things physically challenging. (As if his training photo didn’t give that away. Yes, that is a heavy hain draped over his abdomen as he dead-lifts his own body weight from the floor.) He’s been an Apex client for three years and works out with us three times each week.

Kelly has been a client at Apex Wellness since early 2015 and works out with us three times a week.
