I joined Eupraxia almost 6 months ago, breaking my trend of waiting until the new year to get back into shape. I had a friend who had been going for a year who couldn’t say enough positive things about Eupraxia in Chippewa Falls…so I finally went and what a great decision it was.
I have done LOTS of workout and weight loss plans (name a dvd or online program and I probably own it or tried it). But nothing stuck, and I always went back to bad habits after a few months.
The biggest differences in this gym vs other online programs is that I LOVE the fact that I am working out in person with other humans who actually notice if I’m not there for a few days and who genuinely seem happy to see me when I’m there. The kettle bell workouts are different and challenging to me in a way that is fun and always feels new and fresh. Kickboxing is also an added challenge & a surprisingly good way to work out my daily frustrations.
Steve & Shelly are awesome trainers who not only are passionate about fitness, being strong, and living a healthy lifestyle but they also lead by example… working out with the group while one leads the training as well as living the lifestyle they teach. They are patient and excellent teachers who want members to learn the basics of kettlebells and them to push themselves to lift bigger when we are ready. (Steve often just drops off a bigger bell when he knows I can and should be doing more, which is encouragement I appreciate.) Everything is modifiable, too, so even though I have some old sports injuries that can bug me there is an alternate way to complete any lift or exercise.
As I look at turning 50 in a few weeks, I can honestly say I haven’t felt this good in a very long time…. Maybe since I had my first baby 20 years ago! I can tell I’m getting stronger and my clothes fit SO much better, and I don’t plan to stop attending classes any time soon.
I completed the 6-week challenge this fall, and the changes in my body composition & mindset are incredible. I loved the easy to follow meal plan and not having to made decisions or a grocery list on my own. These tools, and menus, I will continue to use into the future! Eating well is not really hard… it just takes planning.
As concerned as I was about having enough time to get to the gym at a certain time as a working wife & mom of 3 active teens, I heard someone say “you make time for what really matters to you.” Well, I have been making time for Eupraxia workouts for 6 months and it is totally worth it.

I can't say enough good things about Eupraxia - Chippewa Falls! My recent experience with their 6-week challenge was incredibly positive. Not only did I learn a lot about nutrition and fitness but it also was a journey of self-discovery. I found willpower and inner strength I didn’t know I had and with that came a whole new level of confidence.
I've been a member at Eupraxia for over a year now, and what keeps me coming back is the incredible community. Working out with such great people every day makes fitness genuinely enjoyable. The owners/trainers, Steve and Shelly, are simply awesome! Their commitment to their members' success is evident in everything they do. They truly go the extra mile!
If you're looking for a gym that offers top-notch guidance, a welcoming atmosphere, and real results, Eupraxia - Chippewa Falls is it!

I had signed up for gym membership before, usually at the start of a new year, gone for 3 to 6 weeks and then I would then stop going. Thank God we found Eupraxia! My wife and I joined in Jan 2025, starting with their 6 week challenge, and we have been going 3 times a week for over a year now. We love Eupraxia! Steve and Shelly are amazing! Everyone is welcoming and encouraging. Members of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Instructor lead classes change weekly, which keeps workouts from becoming repetitive. Eupraxia has been life changing for the two of us. Thank you Steve and Shelly!
My husband and I have completed the 6-Week Challenge at Eupraxia twice now, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. The environment is incredibly positive, supportive, and motivating. The trainer-led classes keep you accountable while still meeting you at your individual fitness level. The nutritional guidance was practical and sustainable, helping us build healthier habits that we can actually maintain long-term. Between the two of us, we’ve lost 40 pounds and gained so much strength and confidence along the way! If you’re looking to learn healthier habits, lose weight, and get stronger in a supportive community, we highly recommend Eupraxia in Chippewa Falls. It’s truly been life-changing for us!
The 6 week challenge scared the shit out of me. Could I do it and would I miss out on life. Let the Mind games begin!!! With the support of my group at Eupraxia, it was an amazing journey. We all committed to our workouts and keeping the meal plans, talking daily on our menu's was key. My support also included my husband, he followed along with the plan and made food good. I lost 16 lbs and 5.2 % body fat and I feel so STRONG! A BIG thank you to my sister in law , Missy, she was my rock!! This GYM is amazing and I LOVE GOING EVERYDAY!! THANKS STEVE and SHELLY - YOU GIVE ALL OF US THE MOTIVATION AND DRIVE TO SUCCEED.
I have been going to the Eupraxia Chippewa Falls gym for over a year and have thoroughly enjoyed the fun and challenging workouts. After each session, I walked out of the gym feeling great. This March, I decided it was time to push myself and “reset” my eating habits, so I signed up for the 6-week challenge. What an amazing program! It is well-organized and filled with an abundance of information to support you on your journey, along with an easy and delicious meal plan. The meals were simple to prepare, and I discovered new favorite recipes that are both healthy and tasty. The support from owners Shelley and Steve has been outstanding, and the gym members are incredibly supportive, creating a great atmosphere for workouts. Through this program, I have lost weight and reduced my body fat by over 5%. My energy levels have significantly improved, I sleep better, and I have a more positive overall attitude. I can’t believe how much better I feel after just 6 short weeks with this easy-to-follow plan!
My husband and I were ready for a change. We had both gained weight since getting married 3 years ago. We wanted to eat better, and start working out, but we didn’t know where to start. When I found the 6 week challenge and reached out to Steve. He told us there was potential to earn the challenge for free if we worked hard. Having that challenge pushed us even harder. Our first time walking in we were welcomed by everyone with words of encouragement. “You’re going to love it here” “Shelly and Steve are Amazing” “You’ll do awesome” are just a few! When we started the 6 week challenge we got a full menu and grocery list to get us started. Every week after we got a new menu, and new videos to watch. At the end of the 6 week challenge my husband and I lost a total of 32 pounds and a combined 7% body fat. We feel amazing! I can’t say enough good things about Eupraxia. The trainer lead classes don’t leave you guessing if you’re doing it right, because Shelly and Steve are there to make sure you get the most out of the workout plus give you the push you need to keep going! I have now signed on to continue my health journey for a year, because I’m worth it!
Such an easy experience, just have to go. They are all so friendly and helpful! This is a positive life change everyone could use!
An amazing place to go! Their 6 week program worked for me and has changed my lifestyle for the better. The workout is a group class that kicks and lifts your butt at the same time lol. Steve and Shelly are great!
Joined Eupraxia for their 6 week challenge, because I needed to hit the reset button on my fitness and health. It has worked tremendously well, and I'll be continuing after the challenge. Have never found a more productive/ welcoming place to work out!
I joined Eupraxia and took advantage of their 6 week challenge. I’m proud to report that I’m down 28 pounds in those short 6 weeks!!! The work outs are fun and filled with laughter and camaraderie. Trainers Steve and Shelly are filled with knowledge, experience, and encouragement! I’m so happy that I joined Eupraxia! I have more energy and feel better than I have in years! The members have been so welcoming and friendly—you will never feel judged or ‘less-than’ here, no matter what size, shape, or fitness level you are at. I have never looked forward to working out until I experienced the great atmosphere here at Eupraxia!
