About Us
Discover the thoughtfully designed equipment and boutique training amenities that make Get Fit on Adams your ultimate fitness destination.”
Our Gym
We strive to provide our neighborhood with an interactive, motivating place to practice functional fitness techniques that promote living a strong, healthy life in an atmosphere of comfort, familiarity, and the freedom to get fit your way. Whether you like to workout alone, with a group, or with an instructor, Get Fit on Adams has an option for you!
We also offer a variety of small group classes that you can join to supplement your fitness regime. The classes will vary depending on the current instructors. A well-rounded fitness program encompasses all aspects: strength training, flexibility, cardio and balance. To be functionally fit you need to include all of these elements and Get Fit on Adams has what you need.
A “Functional Fitness Facility” is a place that is equipped with everything needed to get a dynamic, full-body, functional workout. This facility will not be equipped with certain equipment that a typical gym might have, such as single-purpose machines (ie. leg extension machine, bicep curl machine, squat machines or chest press benches with bars.) What it will have is BOSU Balls, Dyna-Discs, resistance bands, medicine balls, cardio machines that work the whole body, mirrors to watch alignment, and ample space to stretch.
Our members are made up of a wide variety of people. We find that our gym appeals to people like parents who only have a small amount of time during the day when they can get away and hit the gym– a place where they won’t have to spend most of their time waiting for machines or feel crowded out by larger fitness facilities. Also, we appeal to older adults who are just looking to be able to stay fit at their own level and pace.
If you typically workout at weird hours of the day like crazy early, or late into the night, we are your kind of place! Or, maybe you hate big gyms and just want some quiet when you work out, but you don’t have the space to keep equipment in your house. Perhaps you live close by and you would enjoy having a local place to practice dance, martial arts or yoga on your own.
Our fitness center and our unique approach to fitness is also well-suited to those who are recently transitioning out of a physical rehabilitation program but who still need to have a place to go in order to keep it up on their own.
Even if you already have a full-spectrum fitness program of your own, and you just need a functional place to exercise, then you will benefit from what our facility has to offer!
A Gym Culture Where Everyone is Welcome.
At Get Fit on Adams, we believe fitness is for everyone.
Whether you’re just starting your journey or you’re a seasoned athlete, our thoughtfully curated selection of equipment and training facilities is designed to support all levels of experience. From free weights and resistance machines to functional training zones and recovery spaces, we’ve created an environment where you can feel confident, comfortable, and inspired. Our space is more than just a gym—it’s a community where everyone is welcome, every goal is celebrated, and every workout is a step forward. Come as you are, and let’s grow stronger together.

he is witty, knowledgable and patient. I feel she could work with anyone and everyone. I started at 69 never worked out before.”
“Even having certain limitations, Tamara was able to maintain my fitness, mobility as strength! She is really an exceptional trainer and person.“
how is a functional fitness gym different than a regular gym?
A functional fitness gym is smaller and functionally-based. The main purpose being balance and function. It will not have heavy weights, a lot of single-purpose machines or bodybuilders.
how does the open gym option work?
Open Gym Membership at Get Fit on Adams includes a coded entry privilege for accessing the facility on your own without supervision. Open Gym Membership can be acquired two different ways: The first being that you train with a personal trainer at least once a week and your trainer offers that option to you through an All-Inclusive Membership level. The second way is to qualify for Open Gym Membership which allows you to workout on your own. To start in either case, you will be required to set up a personal fitness assessment appointment to make sure Get Fit On Adams is a good fit for you. There is a one-time enrollment fee of $55 per person if you are not going to be working with a personal trainer at the same time otherwise the enrollment fee is waived. This fee covers your fitness consultation, tour of facility, equipment usage explanations and demonstrations, and an explanation of the room system, guidelines and rules. If approved for Open Gym Membership, it will also include your account set-up.
why do you require a skills assessment before I can buy a membership?
A fitness assessment is required before you can buy a membership because your personal safety is our first concern. We need to feel confident that you will not inadvertently injure yourself while utilizing our facility unsupervised. It is also important that we create an atmosphere of mutual respect and trust, and this fitness assessment will also serve as “meet and greet” of sorts so we can get to know each of you and provide as much direction as possible to assist you with reaching your fitness goals.
what does my membership include?
Open Gym Membership includes access to the functional fitness facility (whenever there is not a group class going on), as well as additional access to the training room when personal training sessions are not taking place. Your membership fee does not include any one-on-one sessions with a trainer or any classes. Trainers and teachers will assess their own separate fees for personal training sessions and classes.
what is the difference between an open gym membership and the all-inclusive membership levels?
Open Gym Membership only includes coded entry access to the facility. Other services such as personal training and classes will assess separate charges if utilized. All-Inclusive Memberships include a combination of personal training sessions, circuit classes, and independent training access. Your open gym membership access through the all-inclusive levels will be determined by your trainer and will be based on your personal fitness level and program design.
what if the functional fitness room is being used when I want to work out?
We always have the facility schedule up on our website and we encourage you to check it before you come. If the functional fitness room is being used, we ask that you do not enter through that door to avoid disturbing the personal training session or class in session. You can enter through the personal training door if that room is not in session.
can I bring a friend with me to workout?
Our membership policy (and also our insurance policy) states that NO member with coded entry access may bring an unauthorized person to the gym with them without first obtaining permission from the owner, Tamara Fanning. Please be aware that if it is discovered that you allow unauthorized visitors to enter the facility with you, we will immediately revoke and cancel your membership with us. We do have a referral program in place for our members, so if you have a friend who is interested in working out here, we would appreciate the referral. If they enroll with us at any level, you will receive a reward from our referral program! Remember, your friends and visitors are always welcome at any of our classes!
