SPI Personal Training Difference

An Intimate, No-Pressure Training Experience

Forget the intimidating, overcrowded gyms. SPI was built to be different — a boutique-style personal training studio where you are seen, heard, and supported. Founded by US Army veteran Donnie Kiernan, SPI is grounded in over 20 years of strength and conditioning expertise, bringing a personal, educational, and empowering experience to each and every client.

Education Is Power

Our trainers don't just tell you what to do — we teach you why you're doing it. Understanding the mechanics of movement, proper form, and training fundamentals empowers you to take ownership of your health and fitness for life. At SPI, knowledge builds strength that lasts.

100% Personalized Coaching

Your body, your goals, your program. Our one-on-one private training model ensures that every session is fully customized to your needs. We adjust for daily stressors, injuries, life changes — whatever you bring in the door, we meet you there.

Trainers Who Truly Care

SPI personal trainers are certified professionals who lead with respect, empathy, and expertise. We understand that beginning (or restarting) a fitness journey takes courage. Our trainers take that responsibility seriously, working alongside you with unwavering support to help you achieve and sustain the results you deserve.
