Overview of NutriFormance

NutriFormance is a locally owned gym located in Creve Coeur, MO, offering the services & amenities of a “big box gym” with a smaller, more community feel.  The owners of this “medium box” gym, Dale & Ellie Huff, as well as their staff, make it a point to address you by name & make each client feel welcome. NutriFormance offers a huge selection of cardio and strength equipment so you can work out on-your-own terms or you can take one of the many group fitness offerings that are available 7 days a week.   They take a holistic & customized approach to wellness offering additional services a la carte (some even without the need for a gym membership), including nutrition counseling, personal training, massage and physical therapy.

What Makes NutriFormance Unique?

• It’s locally-owned and operated by Dale & Ellie Huff since 1997. Dale & Ellie are active gym-owners/operators and are regularly on-site. They pride themselves on making NutriFormance a second-home for their clients.
• NutriFormance offers a holistic approach to wellness which includes fitness, nutrition, physical therapy, massage therapy and sports conditioning.
• Customized membership types allow you to only pay for the services you use and make only month-to-month commitments. Many services are offered a la carte, independent of a gym membership.
• Their group fitness classes, many taught by personal trainers with an advanced knowledge of exercise physiology, are top-notch and make the classes unique & challenging.   They offer large group & small group fitness formats as well as specialty classes like spinning & Pilates.
• Athletic Republic, which shares space with NutriFormance, offers science-based, sports performance training to help athletes reach their greatest potential. The Athletic Republic program is designed to give professional & budding athletes (aged 8+) a competitive advantage in their sport of choice by improving speed, agility & power. Housed within NutriFormance, but with a separate entrance and parent lounge, Athletic Republic offers afternoon & evening classes as well as one-on-one sessions to work around student-athlete schedules.

Who Would Like NutriFormance:

• People who want the amenities of a “big box” gym but the community of a smaller, boutique studio

Classes at NutriFormance

They offer a huge breadth of classes, 7 days a week. Enjoy classes like Yoga, HITT, Reformer Pilates, or Fit For Life (designed for 55+). Each class is 55 mins.  Here are a few class standouts that keep me coming back:

• Small Group: Strong – Spend time on the gym floor with a personal trainer in a small group setting. Gain strength in all major muscle groups & build your confidence in using the gym’s equipment.
• Spin & Strength – 30 mins of spinning & 30 mins of strength. 
• Hike & Hybrid – An interval class that rotates between steep inclines on the treadmill and strength training.

Natalie’s Personal Experience

NutriFormance is one of my personal favorite gyms in St. Louis, and I keep in my heavy rotation.  The group fitness classes are what drew me to this gym – I find them to be quite challenging!    I especially love any classes taught by Amy Strahan.   Attending a Total Body Strength class is always a humbling experience!

In addition to the kick a$$ classes, I appreciate the community vibe at NutriFormance.  I see a lot of the same faces every time I go, and many of the gym-goers have worked-out at NutriFormance for decades.  All ages from young to old can be seen here depending on the time of day.  Many of the group fitness attendees are hard core and are largely more toned & fit than I am – come here if you want to challenge yourself physically & mentally.   I highly recommend checking out their new space and experiencing a class for yourself !
