StrongHER is designed for women of all experience levels—from complete beginners to experienced lifters looking to improve their technique.

You’ll learn not only what to do, but why we do it, so you can become a stronger, more confident lifter both inside and outside the gym.

Expect hands-on coaching, purposeful programming, and a focus on steady progression—not simply getting through a workout.

Female Only | All Experience Levels Welcome
START DATE SEPTEMBER 22nd

THE YOOPER FITNESS COMBINE IS FAST APPROACHING!
We are getting close to our first-ever Yooper Fitness Combine this side of the UP!
If you’ve never heard of a “combine,” don’t worry — this is something that is common in higher-level athletics, but not necessarily something you see often in our area.
A combine is an athletic testing event designed to measure things like speed, agility, explosiveness, and jumping ability. Athletes will go through four different tests:
• 40-Yard Dash
• 5-10-5 Shuttle
• Vertical Jump
• Broad Jump
What makes this especially exciting is that we’ll be using the OVR Performance System, a state-of-the-art performance testing system, to capture and measure results. Each athlete will receive a personalized performance report showing their results.
Friday, September 18 | 5:00 PM
Condon Field – Hancock, MI
$5 per athlete
The Combine is open to athletes of all ages and all sports. You do not need to be an elite athlete to participate. Whether you play hockey, football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, baseball, or another sport, this is a great opportunity to see where you currently stand.
And this is more than just a one-day event. We plan to hold the Yooper Fitness Combine at least once a year, hopefully twice, and we will save the results so athletes can track their development and improvement over time.
If you’ve been considering it, now is the time to register!

Behind the scenes of Yooper Fitness ❤️🇺🇸

This Labor Day weekend, we did something we don’t get to do very often… we took a true weekend off.

Our gyms were still open 24/7 for our members, and day passes were still available for those who wanted to get their workout in. But we closed our desk hours and made the decision to put our families first for a few days.

Yooper Fitness is a very small team, and between our owners and GMs, we work incredibly hard to make these gyms what they are. We don’t always get everything right. We are human. We get tired, we make mistakes, and sometimes things don’t go exactly as planned. But one thing we can promise is that our team cares deeply and gives this everything we have.

This weekend, we got to step away from the business and just enjoy being people. ❤️

We spent time being tourists in our own towns, hanging with family, harvesting agates, spending time with our dogs, laughing, relaxing, and simply enjoying life.

And honestly? It was exactly what we needed.

We are so grateful for the members who were patient and understanding while we took this time. Thank you for giving us the space to be human and to put our families first.

Yooper Fitness means the world to all of us. We come back from this weekend with a renewed love and appreciation for the work we get to do — and for the beautiful life that this work allows us to live.

So here’s a little look at the people behind the key fobs, the cleaning, the equipment, the emails, the late-night messages, the problem-solving, and everything in between. 😂

Thank you for supporting our small team and allowing us to build something we truly love.

With love,
Emily, Tiger, Tyler & Katie ❤️
