Cr8 Fitness Celebrates 17 Years of Strength, Community, and Commitment!
Seventeen years ago in Epsom, New Hampshire, a small but mighty gym opened its doors with a mission, a mindset, and a message that still drives everything we do today:
Eat Well, Exercise Smart, Enjoy Life.
That’s the foundation of Cr8 Fitness — and for 17 years, we’ve been helping our clients do exactly that.
Today, we proudly celebrate 17 years in business, and we’re more committed than ever to empowering people to live healthier, stronger, and more fulfilling lives.
Built on Vision: Coach Dean and the Cr8 Fitness Philosophy
Behind Cr8 Fitness is Coach Dean, the creative mind and relentless engine who brought this vision to life. Long before functional fitness was a buzzword, Dean was designing smart, sustainable programs that focused on real results — not gimmicks.
His deep knowledge, passion for coaching, and no-nonsense approach to training laid the groundwork for what Cr8 Fitness has become: a place where people of all ages and abilities are empowered to Make It Happen — our motto and our mindset.
Dean’s philosophy is simple but powerful: train with intention, nourish your body, and live with purpose. That philosophy has guided thousands of clients toward lasting success, and it continues to evolve as we grow.
If you’ve ever walked into a Cr8 Fitness training session, you’ve likely been greeted, guided, and coached by Coach Nancy. She's been the face inside the gym, the one who’s encouraged you to lift heavier, cheered your successes, and made sure every session felt personal, positive, and powerful.
Together, Dean and Nancy have created a powerful partnership — a balance of vision and execution, strategy and heart, behind-the-scenes leadership and hands-on coaching. They make it a second home, your fitness home.
More Than a Gym — A Community
Over the past 17 years, we’ve:
- Helped thousands of clients get stronger, leaner, and healthier
- Built a community rooted in accountability, support, and encouragement
- Evolved with the science — and never stopped learning or improving
- Stayed grounded in our mission from day one:
Eat Well. Exercise Smart. Enjoy Life.
Seventeen Years Strong — And Still Growing
As we celebrate this milestone, we’re filled with gratitude for every member who’s trained with us, laughed with us, and trusted us with their fitness journey. Whether you’re a longtime regular or just starting out, you’re part of the Cr8 Family.
Let’s Celebrate — In Style!
To mark this milestone, we’re celebrating with special events, client appreciation moments, a look back at our favorite Cr8 memories and maybe even a few burpees (just kidding... unless?). We've also have an exclusive commemorative Cr8 Fitness 17-Year Baseball Hat for sale!
(thank you Jon for the idea)
More than anything, we just want to say THANK YOU. Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for showing up. And thank you for choosing to Make It Happen — every single day.
To Your Best Health,
Coach Dean and Coach Nancy
