  • "I came to Skyler and Carrie with the goal of competing in my first bodybuilding show, and I walked away with 1st and 2nd place medals. Skyler's training transformed my physique and Carrie's nutrition guidance made all the difference. I couldn't imagine doing this without them."

    -Nicole Pendleton

  • "At 66, I'd never been in a gym. A week in, the fear was gone. Now I stand taller, sleep better, and handle daily life with ease. If you think you're 'too old,' take it from me: those barriers don't exist at The Foundry."

    -Len Rhodes

  • “I've worked with other coaches, but Skyler is the one who skyrocketed my progress. He's intentional, knowledgeable, and personal with every client, adapting my programming as my goals evolved. Two years in, I'm stronger physically and mentally.”

    -Sara Stark

  • "As someone who's always struggled with body image, it's been great working with people who get it and help me reach my goals anyway. Skyler and Carrie are passionate, patient, and encouraging. They remind you to celebrate the small wins while keeping you accountable."

    -Kat Humphrey

  • "Two years working with Skyler and everything changed. I've gained 15 pounds of real strength, and this place has become where I clear my head. Taking that leap was one of the best decisions I've ever made."

    -Susan Todd
