TOP PICK FOR GETTING FIT
We were just voted ?Top pick for getting fit?? by Minnesota Monthly Magazine in the Best of the Cities edition, October 2008 (page 71). Here's what they had to say about YOUR gym and our unique form of group strength training classes*:

G-WERX
"Local fitness buff Phil Martens invented a workout machine and opened a successful gym devoted to using it. The G-Werx provides a full-body workout tailored to your individual fitness level. At 501FIT, small, 10-person G-Werx classes supervised by professional trainers promote accountability and motivation, while still maintaining workout autonomy."
