Our story

Built by coaches, not franchisees.

We opened Vertex because we got tired of coaches being treated like they were interchangeable. Every one of our six lead coaches is certified, salaried, and has been with us more than three years. We cap every class at 12. We throw out the mirror wall and build squat racks that actually fit a 6’4” deadlift. Train here once — you’ll feel the difference on rep two.
