Hell Bent Fitness

I basically stopped working out during the pandemic, which resulted in me gaining weight and experiencing some additional health concerns from being inactive for so long. I joined HB Fitness in April and I love it! I've lost weight and I feel so much stronger and healthier. The owner, Jason, is great, I love the variety of workouts offered, I can get modifications to adapt to my needs and it's a local small business so it's super convenient! Definitely recommend checking them out!

Hell Bent offers amazing workouts with positive, knowledgeable trainers AND a great sense of community. The classes are designed by the owner - 45min of various moves set to good music. There’s never a dull moment in class, which helps the time fly by in the best kind of way. Owners also plan several extra programs and community challenges to keep things interesting throughout the year.

When the pandemic hit, they quickly transitioned the classes to Zoom workouts without missing a beat. The daily class options helped me keep my sanity and fitness through this tough year.

I love the HB community and recommend it to anyone who wants to get active.

I retired in 2019 and started going to Hell Bent for fitness training, starting with the daily (well 3 days a week for me anyway) strength, density and metabolic condition classes and have really benefited from both the workouts and Jason's expertise. In 2020 my wife, Diane, and I started individualized strength training with Jason and we can see and feel the difference in our bodies. In April, 2021 we signed up for "Your Best Month Ever", a personalized health, fitness and nutrition program with both Jill and Jason. The results have exceeded our expectations. We eat better, sleep better and get more out of each of our workouts. Our attitudes towards our bodies and our outlook on our health have never been better.

I love Zoom strength training classes. I tried the free week promotion in October and I've been doing it 3x a week ever since. All of the instructors are terrific and the format is easy to learn and follow. I get a great workout, more than at a prior gym. Being on Zoom feels like a private session - I get personalized feedback, I can huff and puff without feeling self conscious, I'm getting a solid workout with bands and a few hand weights. I'm totally unaware of anyone else in the class. I will continue to exercise this way post COVID.

I started working out with Hellbent Fitness virtually post-COVID and have found the staff and membership to be outstanding. While I haven’t been able to join in-person classes, they make the virtual workouts challenging and fun. In addition to the workouts themselves the staff engages the members positively with community-based events and challenges.

I found Hellbent Fitness after my local Box in Wisconsin closed. At first, I tried recorded classes but found that without engagement I wasn’t consistent or motivated in my workouts. From that, my requirements were an instructor who didn’t just broadcast a live class but had mastered technology to provide the next best thing to being live in-person. I didn’t just want to watch people work out, I wanted to be involved with feedback from the instructor. I had found three possible gyms for what I was looking for. Hellbent blew everyone else out of the water, they have spent a lot of time, money and energy to provide the best online live class experience I’ve found. The instructors are all top notch and care, they are engaged and use the technology to provide feedback just as you’d get in-person. No matter where in the world you find yourself, Hellbent Fitness is an option you need to try.

The Hell Bent team and community surrounding this gym is amazing! I've been coming here for years and it was never something I had intended. I always used the outdoors as my gym but Hell Bent changed me completely. A family owned business that gives back and supports the local community as well as it's own is more than I ever expected out a place to work out. If you are not here you are missing out! Whether it be streaming live online or in person this is the place to be.

I found Hellbent when COVID hit and Gyms were closed. They've done a fabulous job of presenting workout options on Zoom and have opened the gym when COVID rules allowed. Jason and Jill continue to improve the class experience and offer many class options that meet the needs of most. I love working out with others but feeling the safety of my home.

I started at HB in Nov 2019 and quickly realized it was just what I needed to keep me motivated and get me strong/fit. I came to love the hard workouts and having the awesome instructors encourage and push me. When the pandemic changed everything I was worried I would not be able to keep up my workout routine but because HB quickly pivoted to online, the classes kept me in shape AND sane! I truly look forward to working out and am so thankful to HB!

I love their in person classes for the great energy but also love the virtual option because having a set time to be at class ensures I show up during lockdown! I keep coming back because I’m greeted by name, cheered on and challenged by the workouts. I love that I can do everything in a small space with minimal equipment and the routines are always changing up so I don’t get bored! I’ve lost weight, gotten strong and made friends over the last year all because of HBF.

I first became a client almost 5 years ago.  I was really only running for exercise and had begun to see my metabolism slow with middle age and my body rebel against the pounding repetition.  Hell Bent is in our neighborhood, so thought I'd give it a try.  The first time I worked out there, it was like coming home.  I was a bit apprehensive as I'd never belonged to a gym before, but Jason made me feel instantly comfortable, as did the members.   It's "come-as-you-are" - no one was out to impress.  It was just a bunch of community members who were in the same boat as me - looking for a fun way to get a variety of exercise, to get stronger - physically, psychologically, mentally, and benefit from the knowledge and expertise of certified trainers.  My body has transformed and I feel SO much stronger and have more endurance and energy.  The experience and confidence I gained set me on a path to get my 200-hr yoga teacher certification and now I teach restorative yoga at Hell Bent once a week!

I've never had so much fun working out so hard! Great instructors, positive energy, consistently encouraging, and welcoming of everyone. Zoom classes keep me going, with lots of variety, and require little equipment so I get great exercise without having or needing a home gym.

This is a very welcoming gym that makes getting your daily exercise fun. Great for those looking to start a fitness program, or those who want to take their training to the next level. I am an avid runner and first started coming to strengthen and prevent injury. Kept coming through a pregnancy and now a year and a half postpartum. I credit Hell Bent with so much of my physical and mental strength, it's a great gym!

Even with gym closures I am still getting a great workout with the virtual classes! I dare you to try it out and not love it! The instructors are so incredible and it doesn’t hurt that you are supporting a small business (husband/wife owned) in a very tuff time. Their commitment to keep their classes going virtually is a huge testament to their work ethic and shows how much they care about their clients, new and old. When gyms are able to reopen they offer a great space that I have always felt incredibly safe in during covid, and accepted in before covid.

Great community, awesome instructors and class variety make Hell Bent the best way to start my day! After 7 years and hundreds of classes I still look forward to each class, feel challenged and always work up a great sweat. Thanks, HB!

Jill and Jason have created connection and community - and a great workout environment! They are dedicated to being a part of the neighborhood and committed to their clients - going above and beyond to make us feel like our health matters.

This team continues to inspire, motivate and coach regardless if we are in the gym or live via Zoom. The variety of workouts keep us engaged and the personal care and connection shine through. The results speak for themselves! If you desire to lose weight, get stronger, and have fun doing it, look no further!

I love working out here! Our family group training was always a blast pre-2020. Now, we work out via zoom where we get to try new kinds of classes. It’s been such a vital part of our well being this year. Love this community!

So who would have thought a pandemic would cause you to workout more but that’s what has happened. I love how Jason has made his Zoom classes convenient but still tough with more exercise variation than before too. Can’t recommend this local MPLS business enough and love supporting the community.

Life is better when I am in the HB Zone; meeting twice a week with Jason & my weight lifting gal pals and regularly taking HIIT or MetCon classes. I feel better. I work better. It makes a huge difference.
