Member Testimonial
Glen is not only a great trainer, he’s also been a great friend. Pride gym isn’t just a gym, it’s a home, it’s a family, and it is that way because of the man behind it. He runs his gym with integrity, passion, and purpose. I feel blessed to have that man in my life, and privileaged to be a member of that gym.
