Fitness & Gyms in Rhinelander, WI

“As a Team USA athlete who recently represented our country in international competition, I am grateful for coaches and gyms like Chris Cichy’s that continue to support and elevate martial arts athletes.

The dedication to teaching, mentoring, and helping students reach their goals is evident in the quality of athletes and the positive environment that has been created. What I appreciate most is the willingness to share knowledge, collaborate with other coaches, and help athletes gain new perspectives through competition and training.

One of the greatest benefits of being part of Team USA and the US Federation Pankration Athlima is learning from different coaching styles and experiences. Coaches like Chris Cichy play an important role in making those opportunities possible.

Thank you for your commitment to the martial arts community and for helping athletes grow into stronger competitors and better people.”

“Great selection of nice equipment that is well maintained, friendly staff, clean locker room and sauna facility. I purchased a 10-pack of visits since I will be in the area occasionally which is the best value for me. Barcode allows 24/7 access which is great! It was never crowded when I went and the other members were very courteous.”

“I’ve spent most of my life dieting, trying to lose weight, and starting workout programs that I could never seem to stick with. I’ve worked with trainers before, but Miguel is the first person who truly helped me stay consistent and achieve results that felt sustainable.

One of the things I appreciated most about Miguel was how observant he was. He paid attention to every detail, constantly correcting my posture and form to make sure I was exercising safely and effectively. It never felt like he was just running through a workout—he genuinely cared that I was doing each movement correctly so I could get the best possible results.

Miguel is incredibly knowledgeable, but what really made him stand out was his personality. He made every class and training session enjoyable. He is genuinely funny, and somehow always knew how to make people laugh, even during the toughest workouts.

What meant the most to me was that he met me where I was. There were exercises I simply couldn’t do when I started. Instead of making me feel discouraged, he always found modifications that worked for my fitness level. As I got stronger and lost weight, he continued encouraging me and gradually helping me progress until I was finally able to do exercises that once felt impossible. Being able to see that growth over time was incredibly rewarding.

Miguel didn’t just help me exercise—he helped me build confidence in myself and showed me that progress is possible when you have the right support and guidance. His encouragement, expertise, patience, and sense of humor made a lasting impact on my fitness journey.

I am so grateful for everything he has taught me and for the role he has played in helping me become healthier and stronger. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Miguel is fortunate. He is an exceptional trainer, an amazing coach, and a genuinely great person.”
