Epic Life Fitness, Downtown’s newest Personal Training and Small-Group Fitness Studio at 118 N. Jefferson St. downtown, will hold an Open House Week December 14th-19th from 9am-8pm Monday thru Friday and from 9am-2pm on Saturday. Folks are invited to stop by, take a quick tour and find out more about the studio.

Owner Scott Knisley

This new downtown fitness studio joins part of the emerging trend of upscale, boutique fitness centers that focus on private, one-to-one Personal Training with a licensed trainer. “We’re able to motivate and guide folks on their fitness journey with highly personalized, private fitness sessions,” says Scott Knisley, NASM* Board Certified Personal Trainer and Weight Loss Specialist who owns Epic Life Fitness; “People feel comfortable and safe in our studio. Plus, we’re also building a sense of community with our frequent H.I.I.T (High Intensity Interval Training) small-group classes called Catalyst.”

Sarah Caplan, who currently works out at the gym shares, “I’ve been a member of Epic Life Fitness for more than a year now, and I can say without hyperbole that it has absolutely changed my life for the better. I have lost over 80 lbs, but more than that, I love what I’ve gained — strength, energy, confidence and a sense of belonging at ELF. Its so much more than a ‘gym,’ its a community.“

During the Open House Week, people can stop in for a chat with Scott to tour the studio and even discuss fitness solutions, or to set up an appointment for a free fitness evaluation. Sarah told us about her first workout with Scott, “I was so nervous — even though I knew Scott personally — because I’d never done anything like this. There is such a sense of vulnerability going to a work out space. Scott immediately put me at my ease. He absolutely stresses the ‘personal’ part of personal training. He makes sure every client is comfortable, and shows you that its okay to be a little afraid. Being there at all is a big first step.”

Everyone that visits during the opening event will be registered for a drawing to win a one-month Personal Training package.  Epic Life Fitness, llc and Scott Knisley can be reached at 937-371-8258, at [email protected] or epiclifefitness.com.

About Lisa Grigsby

Lisa Grigsby is a Special Events Director with over thirty years experience in promotions, event coordination and public relations.

Owning Jokers Comedy Cafe for 20 years taught Lisa to maintain a sense of humor under pressure. She credits Leadership Dayton for exposing her to the amazing assets of the region and Clothes That Work for being her reason she stayed in Dayton. Her proudest accomplishment as a past president of the Miami Valley Restaurant Association was creating Restaurant Week, a twice a year tradition that continues to grow and benefit local charities as well. As a foodie, it's only natural that she continues to promote local restaurateurs with DaytonDining.

As a Dayton Catalyst, her desire to have ONE community calendar and advocate for the amazing assets of the region helped create the vision for the relaunch of DaytonMostMetro, now Dayton 937.com
