About Us

---

We created this small-town, community gym to bring the opportunity for an active lifestyle to everyone in the Kiel, New-Holstein, and Elkhart Lake area. We're here to give young people a safe, drug and steroid-free place to work out, to give elderly people options to take their health into their own hands,  and provide a safe and judgement-free facility for all kinds of people.

Bison Fitness Club is a members-only, 24/7 fitness facility. Lockers and showers are available for members, but you must bring your own towels. The entire club is under 24/7 audio and video surveillance. 

Everyone is welcome here. 

There are no judgements for you, no matter how much you know about exercising, no matter what your body type is or where you're at in your fitness journey. 

When you step in this gym, it our goal to create a positive mental image of yourself. Loving your body is extremely important to fitness, whether you're overweight, underweight, disabled, rehabilitating an injury, or just trying to get a little bit more in shape for summer.

I've been involved in fitness for most of my life. I've competed in Rugby, Wrestling, Powerlifting, and Strongman. But, my biggest achievements are in professional arm-wrestling, with multiple state championships and a left handed national championship. 

I've also been deeply involved in healthcare, with a 4 year career in Nursing, a Bachelor's degree in Biology, an MBA, and more than 10 years of personal training experience. I love people and health, and I am excited to bring my skills and knowledge to the Kiel community. 

1. Each member must swipe their own key fob to enter, and swipe in every time they come to the gym.

2. Outside of staffed hours, never open the locked doors to let anyone else in, at any time. This is for the safety and security of everyone in the gym. If someone can't get in because they're having issues with their key fab or app, they can resolve these issues with staff during staffed hours. 

3. Rubber soled shoes separate from the ones you wore in to the club are required. No sandals or open-toed shoes allowed.

4. A shirt or tank top must be worn at all  times. 

5. Don't drop your weights, and put your weights away when you're done.

6. Powdered chalk and liquid chalk is allowed, but it is a privilege that can be revoked if messes are made. 

7. All equipment must be used in the manner it's intended. Deliberately unsafe or otherwise reckless use of equipment is prohibited.

8. Clean up your sweat when you're done with a station with the towels and spray provided. 

9. Children under 12 are not allowed in the facility.

10. The entire gym, street and rear parking lot is under high-definition video surveillance, 24/7, so just be a good person.
