Meet the Owners
Welcome to 218 Fitness! We are Ariel and Henry, a husband and wife team dedicated to helping you achieve your fitness goals! In August of 2022, we took a leap of faith and opened our gym in Pine River, Minnesota. Our goal was to create a welcoming space where people of all fitness levels could come together, train, and support each other as a community.
We are both proud graduates of Pine River High School, bringing a wealth of fitness knowledge and passion to our gym. I discovered my love for fitness early on, with interests in weight training, running, and rodeo. I pursued a two-year General Education degree from Central Lakes College and became a NASM certified personal trainer, dedicated to helping others lead healthier lives.
Henry, a standout athlete in football, basketball, and track, also earned a two-year General Education degree from Central Lakes College. His passion for sports and fitness led him to become an assistant track coach at Pine River Backus High School. Together, our combined expertise and commitment to fitness create a dynamic and supportive environment for all our gym members.
We are Community
We provide a complete gym experience with traditional strength training equipment, expert personal trainers, and a wide range of group fitness classes to keep you motivated and engaged.
