Brendan & Alex at IST are absolutely amazing! Their breadth of knowledge when it comes to fitness, health & nutrition is unmatched. In the 3 years that I've been attending classes, the level of coaching, support & skills learned never ceases to astound me. I can't thank them enough for how they turned a doughy 40 something year old into the best version of myself.

I dropped in here when spending a couple days in Duluth on vacation. I enjoyed my experience! The coach helped me properly scale the workout, people were friendly, and I was able to hang for a bit afterwards to work on some accessory skills! :)

IST bootcamps are amazing. Excellent and knowledgeable trainers that can work with all ages and body types. They train you physically and help you with nutrition information. Definitely recommend!!

I am in my second round of cross-fit, and wow it's pretty cool. The trainers are the best, and no matter your current condition, they can show you that you can do more than you think. The workouts are great and last about an hour, but you are going to get sweaty- trust me!! I love it, and feel better than I have in 20 years. Also had to get smaller pants size really quick!! Love it!

A One-of-a-Kind business, the best CrossFit gym in Duluth. Chris, the owner is one of the best people I have ever done business with. While I haven't been able to go for the past few months, their flexible policies mean that if I have to travel for work or if I have been swamped, or sorry to say...just don't feel it..I can adjust to my schedule without kissing my money goodbye. The trainers are brilliant, educated, and this is such a friendly place to work out. Don't hesitate to sign up if you are considering CrossFit or Yoga!

The gym is great, but the instructors really make the place shine. All of the instructors I've had experience with are personable and friendly, but also know when to turn to "coaching mode" and encourage you

I've always been a big believer in the fact that you can't knock something until you've tried it whether it be camping, lutefisk or cross fit. I've tried it and found it's not for me. I give IST a 5 star review though because the time I was there for the 6 week Bootcamp I found it impressive the knowledge the instructors had, the enthusiasm that was displayed by everyone despite the fact they were being pushed to their absolute edge. And we all know the excitement happens at the edge of your comfort zone - keep up the good work guys!

IST is, by far, the best gym I've ever worked out in. Two of the best parts of the experience are the trainers/coaches, Brendan and Alex. I have been in 3 of the Boot Camps and done some beginning Cross Fit in the last couple of years. I appreciate the way the coaches watch how I am doing a particular exercise to make sure my form is good. They are careful about helping prevent injury while exercising and can adjust the workout if I am dealing with an existing injury. I think anyone could do the Boot Camp!

I completed the 6 week boot camp with Brendan Willis last year and I never experienced a workout like. Excellent coaching and professionalism.

Brendan Willis is a great coach and will get you in shape while having fun at the same time. Just going once a week has completely changed my life for the better!

IST is the best gym I have ever experienced. The coaches are experts in their field and do an amazing job of scaling a workout for a complete beginner to a professional athlete, all while creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and supported.

IMPORTANT! Wether you consider yourself an average gymgoer, bodybuilder, crossfitter, strongman, or powerlifter this gym has it all! Very friendly service, plenty of equipment and however you may lift, this gym caters to it all. Don't be intimidated, stop by and you'll see what I mean. If I'm ever back in town I know for sure this is where I'm coming, very impressed! Thanks again Chris! Carl.

I can't say enough good things about this place. It rocks. They really know what they are doing! If your looking for training, boot camps, or just a place to work out - Make IST your one stop. All the staff that works there is educated in their field, know how to modify for beginners and really care about your health and wellness!

I was always intimidated to do crossfit thinking I needed to be in shape already to join, but that was not the case at all at IST. They scale everything to your level, the staff is so friendly and motivating, and I just fell in love with the crossfit community here. If you're still unsure about it, you should check out one of their bootcamps (that's how I got started). Unfortunately I have moved otherwise I'd still be going there!
