We are excited to celebrate a very special hard working Renegade couple this month Billy and Lindsay! We’re thankful to be a continued part of their health + fitness journey and for them sharing her RF story with everyone! What first brought you to Renegade Fitness? We moved to Sylvania after 7+ years in Chicago (Lindsay grew up here) and were looking for a more complete workout experience than the boutique studios that had become our norm. And while we didn’t expect a global pandemic to shut everything down only a month in, the generosity of Chris & Jen to loan out equipment during lockdown ended up saving our butts. We felt fortunate to join when we did! ....

I believe that many women spend most of their life taking care of others and there comes a time when we wake up and decide to take some of our life back, to start taking care of ourselves again. That day came for me when I walked through the doors at Renegade Fitness several years ago and started a new journey. I had definitely put my health and well being on the back burner and it wastime to start focusing on a healthier life. I must admit I am a sucker for Facebook adds and when I scrolled across an add for Renegade Fitness I decided to try it. I will also admit that I was little intimidated, intimidated by " a work out ....

How Kevin Lost 40lbs During Quarantine

Making the Most of this Quarantine Quagmire When COVID hit the US and I learned I would not be working or for the most part leaving my apartment at all for the foreseeable future, I decided I needed to take advantage of that time and do something I’d been telling myself I was going to do for a while: lose some weight. Around 5 years ago I became interested in powerlifting and so my training became dedicated to increasing my strength (particularly in the “big 3” lifts: squat, bench press, and deadlift).In order to achieve this goal I started increasing my food intake. A lot. Over 5 years that had started to spiral out of control. My strength did improve ....

October Renegade of the Month

What brought you to Renegade Fitness in the first place? I’ve been working out for years. When my gym closed last September, I was on the hunt for a new one. I tried a few locations, asmaller gym, a big chain fitness center and even CrossFit. I didn’t care for any of them.My friends had joined Renegade but I didn’twant to make the drive from Maumee. In January I quit working out all together. Of course onceI was ready to start looking for another gym in March the pandemic hit. Once the gyms opened up in June, with a little encouragement from my friends and Coach Marizol, I decided to give Renegade a shot, and have been there almost everyday since! What are ....

How often should you workout?

We all go into workouts with our own set of goals and expectations.That can often bring up the question: how often should you work out and which workouts are best? As you can imagine, there's no simple formula that's right for everyone. The ideal breakdown between strength training, cardio, and rest days will vary from individual to individual. If you are reading this post, I am going to assume you are not a high level athlete and simply want to become stronger, lose some unwanted body fat and generally feel like you have enough energy and confidence to take on anything your day has in store! If you want to work out 4-5 days per week, and are working on both strength and ....

I love the overall atmosphere of this gym. The coaches are motivating and helpful, the workouts are challenging and fun, and the owners, Jen and Chris, are passionate about their clients. I look forward to working out—which is something I never thought I would say before I joined!

Renegade is more than just belonging to a gym, it is a community and most of all a family that supports and pushes you unconditionally. The trainers are beyond amazing and know each person's strengths and weaknesses and will modify where needed. This family has helped me through my toughest times in life and I have never felt stronger both physically and mentally. I HIGHLY recommend Renegade to all!!
