The Story Behind Brew Fitness

 
Growing up, my passion has always been fitness. I started designing workout and running programs for myself when I was just 12 years old. Looking back, I didn’t realize how unusual that was for a kid my age. I wasn’t your average kid. I was an avid runner, eventually going on to compete in NCAA Division I Cross Country and Track in college. It only made sense that I would continue my education in Human Performance, studying how the body moves, performs, and functions.

After earning my Master’s Degree in 2012, I began working in the fitness industry for a big-box gym. It didn’t take long for me to realize that something was missing. The industry had become too focused on memberships, sales, and numbers, while the people behind those numbers were often overlooked. Every person has different goals, abilities, experiences, and barriers, and I wanted to create a fitness experience that treated people that way.
I was tired of compromising my values and knew I wanted to build something of my own: a fitness community with a unique personality, an incredible experience, and a culture that reflected the people and spirit of Milwaukee. I wanted to bring together all of the things I love most: fitness, community, hard work, and great people.

In 2017, Brew Fitness was born.

From day one, our goal has been to build a fitness community that cares just as much about the people as it does about the workouts. We pride ourselves on offering a wide range of group workouts, personal training, and training options to help people of all fitness levels reach their goals.

But Brew Fitness is about more than fitness. It embodies what makes Milwaukee such a great place to live: great people, hard work, a strong sense of community, and a willingness to keep showing up and getting better.

So stop in, say hi, and experience the Brew Fitness community for yourself. We’d love to have you.
