“In my late 70s, I never imagined I would be lifting weights, but joining 5th Row Lifting Company has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and quality of life.
I primarily work one-on-one with Clay, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about him. He listens, understands my goals and limitations, and always makes me feel comfortable and confident. He knows how to encourage me and push me a little beyond what I think I can do, but I always trust him because he puts safety first, and at my age that's important.
Since starting at 5th Row, I’ve noticed improvements in my strength, mobility, agility, balance, and stamina. Everyday activities are easier, and I feel stronger and more capable. I know strength training is incredibly important as we age, and I’m grateful to have found a place that makes it both safe and enjoyable.
The atmosphere at 5th Row is always welcoming and supportive. Even when I occasionally join a group class, everyone is encouraging and friendly, and I’ve never once felt out of place.
If you’re in your 60s, 70s, or beyond and wondering if it’s too late to start strength training, I can tell you from experience that it isn’t. You’re never too old to get stronger, and I highly recommend 5th Row Lifting Company.”

“Andrew S is the best trainer I’ve ever worked with. I’m staying with my boyfriend in EC temporarily so was only able to have 4 sessions with Andrew, but if we were staying here I would train with him regularly.”
“Enjoy coming to Planet Fitness in Eau Claire. I appreciate the ability to see how busy it is at any time of the day. This week was a little warm they were going to be having repairs done (which has seemed to be a thing at many locations to ately across the board. I'm glad I was still able to workout and use most of my the services I wanted too. One of the hydro massage beds seemed to be out of service but I was able to use a different bed. Thankfully, that area wasn't super busy that there wasn't a line waiting. (So, it didn't personally affect my experience.)
It's nice they have specials going on and a summer deal for high school kids. So, I love that!”

“3D Fitness is hands down the best gyms in the area. 10/10 recommend for anyone in the Eau Claire/Chippewa area looking for a solid place to train. They offer a large variety of equipment, including a dedicated cardio room and an impressive powerlifting room. Everything is well kept, clean, and organized. Whether you're just starting out or a serious lifter, 3D has everything you need. Keith (manager) is friendly, knowledgeable, and creates a feeling of community in the gym.”
“Awesome gym. It always seems so clean. Showers have adequate privacy. Lots of strength machines, nice barbell area, lots of dumbbells and weight benches. Sauna and extra hours compared to some YMCAs.”

“I have been going here for about a month. Stopped in at various times throughout the day and it’s never been too crowded. It's very clean and tidy, and it’s a smaller gym but I really like the layout. There is only one spot to deadlift but that makes sense given the size of the space. The staff have been friendly and welcoming too.”
“Top notch gym. Both locations. You can’t go wrong. Downtown location is conveniently located and is a steal of a deal. Has all the equipment you need. Well designed layout, excellent machine maintenance, and super clean bathrooms/showers. AND infrared sauna!!
Lake Hallie location. *chefs kiss* The owners really out did themselves! Amazing layout. Even more machines and open turf area. Outside gym space. Recovery suite is additional but worth it hands down.
Amazing owners and staff. Makes all lifters of all experiences feel welcome. From the pov of a female lifter this gym is amazingly supportive!”
