Co-Founders, Heidi Shalek and Maren Kravitz

After years of training at large corporate health clubs, we co-founded The Training Room to provide an alternative to the traditional membership-based gym. When we opened in 2009, boutique fitness was relatively new, as was the idea that a client should only pay for services that were right for them with no enrollment fees or contracts.

Ten years later, our inspiration comes from our clients and staff. There’s nothing more rewarding than getting to know someone, developing a plan to meet their needs, and seeing them reach their goals, whether it’s losing weight, improving movement quality, or increasing strength and athleticism. Our staff is some of the best in the business. They have helped us create a progressive training system with an emphasis on client education. ​

​If we've learned one thing over the past decade, it's that we are stronger with the support of the people we love. The Training Room has become so much more than we could ever have imagined-– a place where people can connect over a shared desire to be stronger, happier, healthier.
