THE WEST KEPT SECRET METHODOLOGY
WKS is a high-intensity interval-based workout that fuses together different workout focuses into one dynamic format; cardio, strength training, and Pilates. Each individual focus area provides support for an all-around healthy lifestyle but cannot deliver results on its own / as a standalone offering or class type. Fusing cardio and strength training together sheds fat and replaces it with lean muscle, while Pilates serves as the main component of core work and stability. Fusing these together in one hour saves clients time and money from having to be a member at multiple studios. They are able to experience everything they could want or need in one results-driven workout!
Cardio
Treadmill | Body Weight Exercises
Increases the strength of your heart and lungs. It will help you improve your cardiovascular endurance during workouts. Cardio burns calories to help lose weight. (Shed the fat)
Strength
Boxing | TRX | Weights
Increases bone density, reduces your resting blood pressure, improves blood flow, halts muscle loss, helps control blood sugar, improves cholesterol levels, and improves your balance and coordination while improving muscle tone all over the body. (Replace it with lean muscle)
Pilates
Reformer | Springboard | Ballet Barre
Lengthens, strengthens, and tones the body and helps with flexibility, especially on a reformer or springboard, because you are working against a resistant spring load and not using momentum to execute the movement. (Core work and stability)

BEST TRAINERS
As cliché as it sounds, the first step to conquering your fear, is coming to try a class! As soon as a WKS trainer greets you at the door, learns your name, and asks your injury history, you will feel at ease.
The WKS trainer will go over the interval to make sure you understand the timing, then demonstrate each movement at every station, so you feel comfortable before warming up. The best part about our classes? You are not alone! There are individuals of all different fitness levels sweating right next to you!
TESTIMONIALS
Christina
I weighed close to 200 pounds, and at this point in my life, I had always told myself I was just “big-boned.” I was convinced I would never be smaller than a size 10 (I was between a size 16 and 18 at the time) without plastic surgery, and that I would never be small or very strong! West Kept Secret created workouts that were challenging, but left me feeling motivated and excited.. I started to find myself looking forward to our sessions! When time for my measurements came, I had lost inches off my thighs, waist, and arms. It was exactly the news I needed to commit to a lifestyle overhaul! Between my WKS personal training regimen, healthier meals, and my own commitment, and dedication, I have lost nearly 80 pounds and decreased 7 clothing sizes. I am stronger, more fit, and more confident than I ever dreamed was possible! Fitness is a huge part of my life now and has strengthened a lot of relationships in my life. I’m so thankful for West Kept Secret!

I started with the West Kept Secret machine method classes and instantly fell in love with the programming! Shortly after, I began my personal training with WKS and it totally changed my life! The combination of varied work outs, precise training, and tremendous encouragement made this the best, most effective training program for me. Not only did I lose weight and inches during my WKS journey, I gained a healthier lifestyle and amazing friends in the trainers and other WKS clients!

I started my WKS journey a few months before my September 2018 wedding. I had taken a few group classes and decided to get serious by having West Kept Secret train me. I never really expected the changes and results I saw. Through challenging workouts and nutrition guidance, I have made lifestyle changes that made me feel and look my best on my wedding day and still continue to this day. My PT sessions have become a place for me to not only get my butt kicked weekly but also have fun while getting really sweaty. I decided to renew my PT at WKS even after my wedding to stay challenged and on the new healthy path that I created for myself with their help!

I hired WKS to train my fianceé and I leading up to our nuptials. While I had always seen WKS testimonials consisting primarily of women, my fianceé had been to their group classes before and suggested it could be a good fit for us to do couples training. I am glad I listened to her! After 4 full months of training at West Kept Secret, not only did I notice in a difference in the way I looked, but the way I felt; I was lifting heavier weights, running faster, and tackling machines I would’ve never been exposed to if I hadn’t chosen this studio. I would recommend anyone, male or female, to check out West Kept Secret if you want to get your ass in gear!

West Kept Secret changed the game for me when I reached out to them with big goals to be the best version of myself on my wedding day. They helped me to believe in my ability to develop healthy habits that would elicit lasting results and were there to support me along the way. WKS helped me to bust through the myth that “things will always be this way.” They challenged me to push past my limits and reach results that I never thought were possible. Looking back at my wedding photos, the self-confidence, happiness, and sense of accomplishment they helped me achieve are written all over my face! I couldn’t be more thankful for West Kept Secret!
