"Lions Gym is a place where you can come and get a great workout be it on your own or with the help of a personal trainer. Stephen and his staff work hard to meet your needs and goals.

Lions Gym: Cedric Griffin, Minnestota Vikings 2009If your goals are par, Lions Gym will make sure you hole-in-one or birdie them. I became a member of Lions Gym this past summer(June 2009), and it changed my life. I went in with the attitude that I was going to get better because I was going to push myself, but Stephen overpowered my will and forced his will upon me. My eating habits changed, my body changed and my spiritual world became more complete.

Committing to Lions Gym made me commit to my personal life, my job, my family and the way I carry myself in public. If I look good, I feel good and thanks to Stephen Menya and the staff of Lions Gym I LOOK GOOD. GOD BLESS, PEACE AND LOVE FROM GOD."

Testimonials for Lions Gym

"I only had to step into Lions Gym to see that it is different than other gyms. On any given day you can see elite athletes working out at the same time as someone trying to lose 100 pounds, both feeling equally at home. Stephen and all the staff are warm and truly invested in your personal success. I drive past 3 other gyms on my way to Lions Gym."

- Athena Retsinas, General Member of Lions Gym


"My name is Dr. Wayne Sullwold and I have been working out at the Lions Gym for about nine months. I'm a seventy year old, retired Chiropractor. Last year at a hockey game, sitting in seats close to the ice, I found out that while trying to walk up the stairs to the food court I could hardly get my breath. A colleague of mine, Dr. Richard Greene, recommended Mr. Stephen Menya, a Certified Personal Trainer and owner of Lions Gym. Since starting with Mr. Menya, I can easily walk up the same set of stairs that use to give me trouble and work along side my sons doing the same duties with no difficulties. I have found the workouts, supervised by Mr. Menya, have given me a new lease on life. Friends that I haven't seen for a year or two have stated that I look much younger and thinner."

Sincerely,
Dr. Wayne Sullwold


"Stephen and Leah,

I am so glad I found you and your gym! It has made such a difference in my body and my mind. When I first found you, I was so unhappy and disgusted with the way I looked. I hated shopping already because everything looked ill-fitting, and the size I had to buy was embarrassing.

I signed up for personal training with Stephen in April. I had never been to a gym before and I really liked not feeling intimidated by a big gym with lots of people. Stephen was so good with me, teaching me and encouraging me to keep going and work hard. I have come from a size 14 to a size 8 and am on my way to size 6! My body is much more toned and defined and I feel so much better when I look in a mirror and shopping is now fun!

Lions Gym has become such an important part of my life. Stephen, Leah and Lions Gym, Thank you!!"

Sincerely,
Carol Panser




"Before meeting Stephen, I had spent three years working out, with little or no results. I would often get frustrated and stop working out for months at a time.

My body was falling apart and I weighed more than ever. In April I started at Lions Gym. Right away, Stephen evaluated my goals and put me on a program that would help me best achieve them. He instructed me on proper form, new exercises, dietary habits and pushing me past my "self-imposed" limitations in a safe and more efficient manner than I had ever hoped. I have lost 20 pounds in three months and 5 inches off my waist in A MONTH! Meanwhile I am stronger, feel more energetic and can honestly say that I am in the best shape of my life.

I know it's a cliché, but if I can do this....ANY one can do this."

"Dear Steve,

I wanted to take the time to personally thank you for everything you did to help me improve my overall fitness level before I started the recent police academy. Having worked out on my own for many years, and following fad diets, I was faced with the reality that I may not make it into the police academy and fulfill my dreams of becoming a police officer. With just 3 weeks left before my physical assessment, I followed your diet plans and workout plans perfectly. Not only was I able to lose 11 pounds in 3 weeks, I was most importantly able to push forth that extra effort and maintain that next level of fitness I needed to enter the police academy.

I just want to thank you again for everything that you did. Without your guidance I know the outcome would've been much different."

Sincerely,
Bert Feske, Police Officer, April 27, 2008
