My Name is Amy McCain, and This is My Odyssey Fitness Story........

My fitness journey hasn’t been easy—between losing my mom to diabetes in my 20's, a complicated pregnancy in my 30's, constant weight struggles, and lastly a broken ankle, I felt like every time I was in a good place with my fitness routine, life would get in the way.

I was only 29 when my mom passed from diabetes complications. Before she left, I made her a promise: I would run a half marathon in her honor. I had never been a runner, but I crossed that finish line—and then pushed myself to run two more.

Then I endured a high-risk pregnancy that left me on bed rest for months at Vanderbilt. While in the hospital, I watched a race go by outside and promised myself that if I got past this, I wanted to always be able to run a 5k. But after being released, I could barely stand, let alone run.

Once I was finally recovered from the pregnancy, I was heavier than ever, frustrated, and stuck in a cycle of extreme dieting and failed 5k training programs.

Just when I got back into a consistent 5k running routine, I broke my ankle, unable to run, again, and was frustrated about not being able to control my weight I knew I needed something different.......
That’s when I found Odyssey Fitness!

Strength training with Ethan, Lizzie, and Allison gave me exactly what I was missing. They helped me build my strength from the ground up, focusing on safe but effective progression. I love that they track our strength progress, it's fun & encouraging to see how much you can improve your strength over time.

Ethan's weight loss group taught me a sustainable approach to nutrition and broke me free from the extreme fad diets. Most importantly, I learned that it's not about perfection, but staying consistent with your eating habits is what leads to long term weight loss.

Since Joining Odyssey Fitness:
✅I've lost 21lbs
✅I've went down 2 pants & dress sizes
✅ I've lost 8% body fat
✅I can now run a 5k every weekend
✅I've PR'd my fastest 5k time by 3 minutes!

Joining Odyssey Fitness is one of the best decisions you can make for your health and wellbeing. Not only will you gain strength and see an amazing body transformation, but you’ll also find a supportive community that makes fitness enjoyable and sustainable for life.

Amy sets the tone for success—her consistency with her workouts and nutrition is no surprise why she has seen such amazing results.

At Odyssey Fitness, every member has a different reason for walking through our doors, but they all deserve a plan, experienced coaching, and a supportive community that helps them succeed. Whether your goal is to lose weight, build strength, or simply feel like yourself again, we're here to help.

If you've been thinking about making a change, we'd love the opportunity to meet you and show you what makes Odyssey Fitness different.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with joining your local rec center. In fact, for many people it's a great place to start. The challenge isn't having access to a gym—it's knowing what to do once you get there and staying consistent long enough to see results.

Most people walk in with good intentions, but after a few minutes they start asking themselves the same questions. What exercises should I do today? How much weight should I use? How many sets and reps? Am I using good form? Should I be doing more cardio? Is this workout actually helping me reach my goals?

Before long, people find themselves walking around the gym, trying a few machines, doing exercises they saw on social media, or repeating the same workout every week because it's familiar. Then they wonder why their results have stalled.

At Odyssey Fitness, we believe your time is too valuable to spend guessing.

When you become a member, you don't have to think about programming your workouts, remembering what you lifted last week, deciding what exercises to do next, or wondering if you're making progress. We take care of every detail so you can focus on what matters most—showing up and giving your best effort.

Every workout is professionally designed before you ever walk through our doors. Every exercise has a purpose. Every progression is planned. Every member is coached throughout the entire session, and every workout is adjusted based on your fitness level, experience, goals, and any injuries or limitations you may have.

Even our small group personal training isn't like a typical fitness class where everyone does the exact same workout. If one member needs a modification because of shoulder pain, we make it. If another member is ready to increase weight, we progress them. Everyone trains together, but every member receives individualized coaching.

We also know that results don't happen because of one great workout. They happen because of consistency. That's why we provide nutrition guidance, accountability, progress tracking, and coaches who genuinely care about helping you succeed. Our goal is to remove every obstacle that keeps people from reaching their goals.

You don't have to spend hours researching workouts, wondering if you're doing the right exercises, or trying to figure everything out on your own. We've already done the planning. We've built the program. We've created the progression. All you have to do is show up.

If you've been thinking about getting started but aren't sure where to begin, we'd love the opportunity to show you how different personal training can be when you have a plan and a coach guiding you every step of the way.

Let's talk about GLP-1 medications and something that often gets overlooked... muscle.

Over the past couple of years, medications like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Zepbound®, and Mounjaro® have completely changed the conversation around weight loss. For many people, these medications have been incredibly effective and have helped them take control of their health in a way they hadn't been able to before.

At Odyssey Fitness, we're not here to debate whether someone should or shouldn't take a GLP-1 medication. That's a conversation between you and your healthcare provider.

What we are here to talk about is what happens during the weight-loss journey.

When you lose weight—especially if it happens quickly—your body doesn't always lose only body fat. Without the right plan, you can also lose lean muscle. That matters because muscle isn't just about looking toned or lifting heavier weights. Muscle is what allows you to move well, stay independent, support your joints, improve your balance, reduce your risk of injury, and continue doing the things you love as you get older.

It's also one of the biggest factors in maintaining your metabolism. The more muscle you preserve, the better positioned you are to keep the weight off and continue living an active life.

That's why strength training is so important.

If you're taking a GLP-1 medication, your goal shouldn't simply be to see the number on the scale go down. Your goal should be to lose body fat while preserving as much muscle and strength as possible.

That's exactly what we focus on every day at Odyssey Fitness.

We work with adults 40+ who want to feel stronger, move better, and improve their quality of life. Every workout is designed with purpose. We don't believe in random workouts or trying to leave you exhausted just for the sake of burning calories. We believe in progressive strength training that helps you build and maintain muscle, improve bone health, increase confidence, and make everyday life easier.

We also know that strength training is only one piece of the puzzle.

That's why we include nutrition coaching and accountability with our programs. We help our members prioritize protein, build sustainable eating habits, and create a lifestyle they can maintain—not just for a few months, but for years.

Our mission has never been to help people become the smallest version of themselves.

Our mission is to help people become the strongest version of themselves.

Because strength means being able to pick up your grandkids without thinking twice. It means carrying your groceries in one trip. It means getting down on the floor to play with your kids and getting back up with confidence. It means traveling, hiking, golfing, gardening, or simply living life without feeling held back by weakness.

Whether you're taking a GLP-1 medication or losing weight without one, those goals don't change.

The number on the scale is only one measurement of success.

How strong you are.
How you move.
How you feel.
How much energy you have.
How confident you become.

Those are the things that truly change your life.

If you're taking a GLP-1 medication and wondering how to protect your muscle, build strength, and create healthy habits that last, we'd love to help.

At Odyssey Fitness, we don't just help adults 40+ lose weight—we help them build strength, preserve muscle, and gain the confidence to live life to the fullest.

If that sounds like the kind of approach you're looking for, send us a message or schedule a free assessment. We'd love to show you what makes Odyssey different.

My Name is Terri Mills, and This is My Odyssey Fitness Story......

In May 2023, my world turned upside down. My seemingly healthy 15-year-old son was suddenly diagnosed with a rare disease—one we never saw coming. Within days, we found ourselves in the hospital, where he ultimately needed a liver transplant. For 37 long days, from diagnosis to transplant, we lived in a whirlwind of exhaustion, uncertainty, hope, and faith.

From the time we checked in the hospital and when my son could go back to school, four months had gone by. I was completely depleted—physically, mentally, and emotionally. A friend reminded me of something I had forgotten: I had always loved working out.
Encouraged to do something for myself, I decided to try Odyssey Fitness.

From the first session, lifting weights became more than just exercise—it became my escape. It was the one place where the weight of the world wasn’t pressing down on me. It gave me space to breathe, to reset, and to rebuild—not just my strength but my mindset.

The biggest transformation I’ve experienced isn’t just physical—it’s mental. Odyssey Fitness has helped me rediscover the power of prioritizing myself. Taking care of my own well-being has made me stronger in every way, allowing me to show up as the best version of myself for my family.

Physical goals were never my main focus, but thanks to Ethan, his incredible trainers, and the individualized workouts they created for me, I’ve reaped the benefits of losing 35 pounds, dropping 3 pant sizes, adding muscle, and, most importantly, rebuilding my confidence—in myself!

I’m beyond grateful for Odyssey Fitness and the impact it has had on my life. Lifting weights has become my sanctuary—a place where I heal, grow, and find strength, inside and out.

Terri's story is a reminder that fitness is about so much more than losing weight. Sometimes it's about finding a place where you can clear your mind, rebuild your confidence, and become stronger for whatever life brings your way.

At Odyssey Fitness, every member has a different reason for walking through our doors, but they all deserve a plan, experienced coaching, and a supportive community that helps them succeed. Whether your goal is to lose weight, build strength, or simply feel like yourself again, we're here to help.

If you've been thinking about making a change, we'd love the opportunity to meet you and show you what makes Odyssey Fitness different.

If you stopped going to your gym tomorrow, would anyone notice?

It's a question I think everyone should ask before signing up for a gym membership.

For most gyms, the answer is probably no. Your membership continues to draft every month whether you show up or not. If you miss a week, two weeks, or even a month, nobody is reaching out to check on you. Nobody is asking if work got busy, if you went on vacation, if you got injured, or if life simply got in the way. The reality is that most gyms are built around giving people access to equipment, not helping them stay consistent.

At Odyssey Fitness, we've always believed that's one of the biggest differences between a gym membership and personal training.

Our responsibility doesn't end after your workout is over. We know that consistency is what gets results, and we've also learned that life has a way of pulling people away from their routine. Between kids' schedules, work, vacations, illnesses, and everything else that comes with being an adult, it's easy for one missed workout to turn into two weeks, and two weeks to turn into two months.

That's why we pay attention.

If someone who normally trains two or three times each week suddenly isn't here, we notice. We don't reach out because we're upset or trying to make anyone feel guilty. We reach out because we genuinely care about our members and want to make sure everything is okay. Sometimes people just need a reminder that someone is expecting them, and that simple text or phone call is enough to help them get back on track before they completely fall out of their routine.

After coaching thousands of sessions over the years, I've become convinced that the biggest obstacle for most people isn't finding the perfect workout or the perfect diet. It's staying consistent long enough to let those things work. Accountability isn't just about someone counting your reps during a workout—it's about having someone who notices when you're missing and cares enough to check in.

That's one of the reasons we don't offer an open gym membership.

We're not trying to be a place where people come in, put their headphones on, and hope they stay motivated. We're here to provide coaching, accountability, and a plan that people can stick with, because those are the things that actually change lives.

A 45-Minute Workout Isn't Really 45 Minutes

One thing I don't think people realize when they compare personal training to working out on their own is how much time they're actually saving.

Our workouts are 45 minutes long, but if you were to do that exact same workout by yourself, it would probably take you closer to an hour and a half to two hours once you factor in planning the workout, researching exercises, gathering equipment, changing weights, making modifications, putting everything away, and cleaning up afterward.

Before you even step into the gym, you have to decide what you're going to do. If you don't already have a well-designed program, you can easily spend 20–30 minutes researching workouts, watching videos, or trying to figure out which exercises, sets, reps, and weights are best for your goals.

Once you arrive, there's even more time involved. You're gathering equipment, loading and unloading weights, adjusting benches and cables, walking across the gym to find dumbbells, and waiting for equipment to become available. Throughout the workout, you're constantly stopping to change weights, set up the next exercise, and decide what comes next before finally putting everything away when you're finished.

At Odyssey Fitness, we've already done all of that for you.

Before you walk through the door, your workout has already been programmed based on your goals and fitness level. The exercises, sets, reps, weights, modifications, and equipment have already been planned, allowing you to spend nearly all 45 minutes doing what you came here to do—exercise.

People often think they're only getting a 45-minute workout at Odyssey Fitness, but what they're really getting is hours of planning, programming, coaching, setup, and accountability that make those 45 minutes as efficient as possible.

For busy adults balancing work, kids, sports, and everything else life throws at them, that's one of the biggest values we provide. We take care of everything so you can simply show up, work hard, and leave knowing you've made the most of your time.
