Mike’s approach for former athletes is outstanding. It feels like going to practice. I love showing up with a customized program waiting for me every day. It’s like getting personal training 3-4x per week at a fraction of the cost. Highly recommend Mike and Opex STL!

I’ve been at Opex for over a year now after doing a lot of group fitness classes and at-home programs over the years that left me getting injured from the same repetitive workouts without much thought behind them. I love how the workouts at Opex are personalized to me and I feel more accountable knowing I have someone checking in on how my workouts are going (and making sure I enjoy them). Mike has done a great job of making the gym a community and I can’t imagine going anywhere else! Highly recommend!

The past few months have been great working with Mike at Opex. Instead of the one size fits all workout programs that are all over social media right now. Mike was able to help me with an individualized program to help reach my goals and continues to help me with those as life and fitness change. If you are on the fence about what Opex is or how Mike can help you, go ahead and reach out to him and get started on your fitness journey.

I have used Mike for over 10 years. I own my own gym and can do my own programming but choose to pay Mike because he's the best in the region. He finds out your goals and helps you achieve them. I'm in better shape at 45 than I was at 25, and a lot of credit goes to Mike. If you are looking to get in or stay in shape this is the best place in St Louis.

I just wrapped up my second month at Opex and I'm loving it so far! Mike definitely motivates me to stick to my 4x/week schedule and I've only missed a few sessions due to travel or illness. Consistency has been a huge struggle for me in the past so being able to work out as much as I do without the mental struggle every morning makes it so worth the price compared to a large chain gym. It feels like I'm getting true personal training for ~20% of the typical cost. With my busy schedule, it's really nice to not have to think about or plan my workouts for the week - Mike does it for me. The workouts are highly effective as I've already noticed major strength and endurance gains, looser clothes, etc. in just 2 months. Highly recommend this gym!!

I joined OPEX STL aprroxiamately 6 months ago. The framework, teaching and guidance I have received from Mike has been instrumental in my improved physical strength, balance and basic understanding of my body's ability to make improvements. I was looking to improve my balance and strength for fitness, and thus my overall quality of life. OPEX workouts offer me a variety of challenges aerobically, strength, flexibility and balance for my specific goals. OPEX offers individualized training in an informed, friendly & small-group atmosphere.

I have been training with Mike for the past several months. I have enjoyed the goal-oriented, individualized training. Mike incorporates his wealth of knowledge along with Opex content and resources to create a program that will suit you. The vibe in the gym is fun, and the times are flexible. I heartily endorse a visit here to shake you from your workout doldrums.

I joined Opex after doing the 1 month trial period. This is a gym for anyone looking for the most efficient workouts. Your workout plan for the day is designed just for you and is always ready when you get there. There is never a wait for equipment or machines. And most importantly, Mike genuinely looks out for his clients. He is always available to answer questions, explain movements, and to provide provide feedback when he sees that you need help.

I came to OPEX after trying CrossFit and not loving the one-size-fits-all group design. Coaches Mike and Tyler assess your individual strengths and goals and tailor a fitness program to help you achieve them. The energy on the floor is always positive and encouraging even with everyone working on their own program. Workouts and scheduling are all integrated seamlessly with apps which makes tracking your sessions and progress simple. Come check them out!

I’ve recently started at opex after trying larger gyms and group fitness gyms. The individual design offered here tailored to your body and your goals allows for much more success than those other types of gyms. Also the ease of scheduling your workout times and viewing your workouts on the apps makes fitting workouts into a busy schedule much easier. Coaches Mike & Tyler are great, and you can tell that they genuinely care about helping each of their clients reach their goals.

I have been coming to OPEX for about six months. Therefore, I believe that I have the perspective to write a review. I was looking for a personal trainer, but found something better than that. My main goal was/is to be consistent, and I think OPEX concept allows you to do that. You have to sign up for your workouts. You can sync the website with your calendar, so all your workouts are on your calendar. I love that! It helps me to stay accountable and come in, even when I don't always feel like working out. Of course, my workouts and the atmosphere at the gym are what I love the most. Your couch will get to know you and write a personalized workouts that will suit you and your goals. Your workouts might change based on your health, personal life events, etc.... and I think it is very important for the longevity of your fitness journey. No matter what your fitness goals are, you should give it a try, and I hope you will fall in love with taking care of your physical body at OPEX, as much as I and other OPEXers do !

I have had an outstanding experience at OPEX Stl Central. Mike W, my trainer, reached out to me immediately following my info request to get me scheduled for an intro chat. We had a positive, zero pressure convo where he asked a lot of thorough questions regarding my goals and workout history. All of my workouts so far have reflected how closely he listened during that intro.This is the fourth trainer I’ve worked with in the past few years at different gyms, and this is the first time I’ve had workouts that meet me where I’m at. I’ve heard zero times “oh come on, you can do it.” Or “that’s fine, just don’t do it.” In other words, I’ve never felt like I’m being thrown some random cluster of exercises from a magazine, or doing the workout he personally likes to do.As a female, the atmosphere of the gym is great. Lots of females there working hard, everyone knows how to make eye contact, say hi, and let you work out. Very welcoming place. All the stars.
