Hi, We’re David and Rachel Simmons! We have been married almost 25 years  we have two amazing sons Caleb 20 and Chace 17. We have had many adventures together. Saddle and leather business, Horseshoeing, Ranching, Riding, Starting a Church, Pastoring and homeschooling. Both Born and raised on Country living, we ironically decided to Name our Gym “Strong City” I know It’s really funny! But for real, we believe in building people up in strength (Body, Mind and Spirit) for the betterment of our Community. Happy and healthy people are better Friends, Spouses, Siblings, Parents and children to the ones they love. Making were we live a better place, a “Strong City”

So back in 2015 Rachel started the Beach Body Program ’21 day fix” and shortly after David started “Insanity max 30” it was time for us to pursue health. We stayed consistent to those home workouts and we started to see Results! We knew it was going to take way longer than 30 minutes or 21 days to see results and get the “Body of our dreams” as 21 day fix would say!  Not long after David was invited by a friend to a local Crossfit gym called “Jeffersons State Crossfit” he got hooked right away and loved the community aspect of it all with a healthy dose of Competition. Rachel Started shortly after David and then our boys Caleb and Chace followed. At the time they were just little guys but we knew it was important for them to see us get healthy and for them to make a good habit of it for their future. So the family affair began! Homeschooling and Fitness were our focus for our family for many years.

David has always loved to teach and so it became a natural fit for him to get his Crossfit L-1 and start sharing his love of Fitness and health. He was mentored and coached by then Owners Michelle and Daniel Gallagher, who are still great friends and are with us currently at Strong City where they are still pouring in to the Fitness community. Also in 2019-2022 David was in the StrongFit mentorship program and growing in his skills and Knowledge as a coach.

Skipping forward: We all know 2020 brought a lot of craziness to everyones life and ownership was changing at J State. We decided to take the leap and Start our Own Gym! So in the summer of 2020 we began looking for a space and found our place on Victor Ave. We had so many friends and Family come help us get it all ready it was amazing the community support we experienced. In just about 3 Weeks we were ready and opened on Aug 3rd 2020.

So there it is and here we are! We’d love to have you be a part of a friendly and supportive community with knowledgeable and caring coaches! Our community is just waiting for you to arrive and start or continue your fitness Journey. You have to start somewhere, and there is no better place than Strong City!
