ABOUT US
AboutLive Oak Fitness
Welcome to Live Oak Fitness. We feel honored that you have chosen to train with us to help you in your endeavor to lead a healthier life. This is an extension of our passion to help people change their lives.
Unlike any gym or fitness center, we are with you every step of the way. By focusing on the five components of physical fitness (body composition, cardiovascular, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility) we will personally keep you motivated and accountable to achieve your goals.
Whether you are retired and seeking to maintain quality of life, a young athlete wanting to excel in a specific sport, a professional looking to stay sharp and focused, a mother postnatal, or suffering from a debilitating disease or injury, we will develop an exercise prescription that is specifically for you.
Our desire is to focus on quality, personal service, and not quantity of numbers. We are here to help you change your life and invite you to be part of the Live Oak Fitness family. It is our desire for you to know that we believe in you and appreciate the opportunity to be a vital part of your life.
