Our Story
Our Mission: To help people create and maintain healthy habits so they can reach their wellness goals and live the healthy and fulfilling life they've always wanted.
Menomonie Health & Fitness officially opened the doors in June of 2019, but the story goes much further back...
Although in sports most of his life, Owner of Menomonie Health & Fitness, John Englund, was never the all-star and always just slightly out of shape in comparison to those in the athletic circles he participated in. The random, but consistent name calling and/or comments about his weight chipped away at his self-esteem. In response, he pushed harder in the gym and tried to eat what he thought was healthier. With very little knowledge of effective fitness programs or what healthy nutrition actually was, he saw minimal results. Over time he met more and more like minded individuals who were where he wanted to be with their health. They encouraged him throughout his transformation.
Fast forward a few years, John met the woman of his dreams, Vannella who shared his passion for living a healthy lifestyle. With a heart for serving others and having personally seen the health benefits of staying active and eating healthy, they dreamed of one day owning a facility where they could help others reach their wellness goals and do the same.

How we help our members transform their bodies and their lives....
We are in the business of TRULY changing lives. We knew being a clean and well maintained workout facility with a friendly atmosphere would draw people in, but we needed to provide our members more than just access to the facility for them to reach their goals. Which is why we spend time with each and every guest that comes in through the door to understand their goals and set a 360 degree plan for them to get there.
Other gyms just sell access passes. Our members get the attention they need and deserve to set their goals, build a roadmap to get there. Each member receives one-on-one training and nutrition coaching, as well as, the the community and accountability to keep them on track. It's not the traditional approach to running a gym, but we have seen the traditional approach fail too many people when it comes actually reaching their goals because it leaves them with no direction or guidance on how to get to where they want to go.
