THE SOTA DIFFERENCE

STRONGER MADE SIMPLE.

We aren’t your average gym, and you won’t be treated like an average client. Our private training facility in Minnetonka is built for people who are used to making decisions, running on tight schedules, and expecting excellence — especially from themselves.

No distractions. No packed classes. Just expert coaching in a clean & welcoming space, workouts built around your body and schedule, and a team that understands your life, with your goals front and center.

MEMBER TESTIMONIAL

“I had been pretty healthy my whole life, but there are just some things that you have no control over. 7 months in, and most of my aches and pains are gone. I've put on four pounds of muscle, and I'm back doing the activities that I was being held back from.”

BUILT FROM A
BROKEN BACK.

SOTA started in Phil's recovery from two serious car accidents. Building strength is what gave him his life back and shapes every program we write.

We believe fitness is about looking good, feeling great, and living a more limitless lifestyle. Playing with your kids on the floor. Carrying your own groceries at 70. Hiking that trail you keep putting off.
