THE SOTA DIFFERENCE

STRONGER, MADE SIMPLE.

We aren’t your average gym, and you won’t be treated like an average person. Our private training facility in Minnetonka is built for people who make decisions, run on tight schedules, and expect 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.

BUILT FROM A
BROKEN SPINE.

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.

Playing on the floor with your kids. Hiking that trail you keep putting off. Walking tall into every business meeting. Carrying your own groceries up the stairs at 80.

Confidence in your body is something you feel, and others notice, and we promise to help you wear it like a new outfit everywhere you go.
