Philosophically Built - Transformation Center

We help people change their body, mindset, and life through fitness, nutrition, and accountability. More than fitness - its a philosophy for living stronger.

Philosophically Built is more than a gym — it’s a mindset. We exist to transform lives through fitness, discipline, and purposeful living. Our approach goes beyond the workout. We train the body to sharpen the mind, build resilience, and fuel lasting change. Whether you're starting from scratch or chasing your next level, our mission is simple: help you become the strongest version of yourself — physically, mentally, and spiritually. We don’t believe in quick fixes. We believe in doing the hard things, showing up daily, and building strength that lasts a lifetime. This is where strength is forged. This is where transformation begins. This is Philosophically Built.

Who says women can’t be strong?

Kendra swinging the 25lb Quad Face Mace and making it look easy!

Huge milestone for our clients to reach this point!

Great work Kendra!!

Next step… one arm swing with the quad? Think she can do it?

Help us congratulate Tom for being PB’s newest Member of the Week!!

What you’ve overcome isn’t small, not even close. There were times where just showing up took more strength than most people will ever understand. The oxygen tank, the medical setbacks, the constant battle of trying to feel “normal” again… that’s real life stuff. And you kept going anyway.

Now I get to watch you walk in, week after week, and put in work like a man who refuses to be defined by what tried to slow him down. You don’t make excuses. You don’t look for an easy way out. You show up, you work hard every single time, and you’ve built real strength because of it.
You’ve earned this recognition. Not just for the weight you’re pushing now, but for the mindset you bring into the room. You’re proof that resilience wins.

Thank you for trusting the process and letting us be a part of your comeback. I’m genuinely honored to coach you.

Only thing better than a PB workout is recovering in the sauna right after with the squad!

💪🏻 🔥

This is what growth looks like.

Laughing between sets.
Cheering each other on.
Getting stronger without even realizing it.

You don’t need to suffer alone.
You just need to show up consistently.

One workout at a time.
One percent better.

That’s how this room changes lives.

Steel Mace Workshop!

Who would have thought a 10lb mace could be so challenging?

Congratulations to Lori McManus, our newest “Member of the Week!!”

Lori has been quietly putting in incredible work, and it’s showing in every part of her training. Her movement quality and form have taken a huge leap forward, and with that has come a noticeable jump in strength across the board.

What stands out just as much is her energy. Sessions that once felt draining now look empowering. She moves with confidence, purpose, and a growing belief in her own ability.

Lori’s progress is a perfect example of what happens when consistency meets intention. Stronger body, better movement, higher energy. We’re proud to have you in the room, Lori.

We tore up that dance floor!

Please help us congratulate Lisa on being our newest “Member of the Week”!!

We just want to take a moment to tell you how much we appreciate you. Your commitment, consistency, and positive attitude have been truly inspiring. Watching you go from limited mobility and strength to confidently performing lunges and pressing overhead has been an incredible reminder of what’s possible when you trust the process and keep showing up.

Thank you for your hard work, your perseverance, and the energy you bring into the gym. We’re proud of your progress and grateful to have you as part of our community. Keep going! You’re doing amazing things.

Happy Birthday Andre!

🏆 Member of the Week: Julie Ochse 🏆

A huge congratulations to this week’s PB Member of the Week, Julie Ochse! Julie is the definition of long-term commitment paying off. She shows up early, puts her head down, and challenges herself every single session. Even on the days when energy is low and fatigue is high, she still finds a way to get the work done — and that consistency has pushed her forward in a big way.

Julie recently took on the Stronger Before the Holidays Challenge and came out on top for Most Lean Muscle Gained, while simultaneously dropping her overall body fat in just 4 weeks time. That result is a direct reflection of her focus, discipline, and willingness to stay locked in even on the tougher days.

Beyond her own progress, one of Julie's greatest qualities is how she brings a steady, driven energy into the gym that quietly elevates everyone around her. Her actions set the tone, and her consistency raises the bar day in and day out.

Congratulations, Julie! We’re proud of everything you’ve earned through your hard work — keep at it!😎💪

P.S. for anyone who hits the sauna… you can thank Julie for always making sure it’s ready to go for after 😉🔥

Happy Thanksgiving from Philosophically Built

Today I am grateful for the people who make PB more than just a gym

The early morning grinders
The evening warriors
The parents showing their kids what commitment looks like
The friends who push each other a little bit farther
The people who walked in wanting to get healthier and ended up getting stronger in more ways than one

Thank you for being part of this community
Thank you for trusting us with your goals
And thank you for showing up even when it is not easy

Enjoy today
Be present
Eat well
Laugh a lot
We will be here when you are ready to get back after it

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃💪
