Things are getting pretty serious around here. 🤵🏼‍♂️💁🏻‍♀️

Seriously though…we’re so excited for this sign, and all the growth happening here at New Roots. Thank you to all of you that have believed in us, and supported us on this journey.

We invite any of you that are on the fence about joining to come try out a class, meet with one of our coaches, take a tour, or just get a workout in and see what makes this gym/community different.

Story Time: In 2021 I stopped apologizing for who I was.

We made it through the pandemic, we made hard decisions about making people wear masks or not, we lost members, we found new members, we opened Old Roots Strength Gym, I was worn out, and I didn’t want to have to fake anything ever again.

We hired Tyler Harryman to redo our logo, changed our merch style, painted the walls black, got more tattoos, and eventually merged Old Roots and New Roots (the powerlifters & the grandmas, the strongmen & the CEOs, and the bodybuilders & the newbies)

See, I knew who we were at our core…INCLUSIVE, WELCOMING, FRIENDLY, and PROFESSIONAL…so why not listen to the music that we want, print shirts with skulls on them, lift heavy, run fast, get strong, eat doughnuts, and invite anyone and everyone to join us in the fun!

Who knows, you might end up like my dear friend Karen who misses the heavy metal when she’s away from the gym for a bit….🤘🏻🖤⚡️

MEET THE COACHES

My name is Xavier Wissman, and I’ve been training for over a decade and coaching for nearly as long. I’m a national, and international level athlete in both strongman and powerlifting, with experience competing at the professional level in strongman. In powerlifting, I’ve earned a national title along with state, national, and world records. Outside of strength sports, I’ve also competed in Highland Games, throwing events and distance running, including races up to 15K.

My experience as a coach is just as diverse as my experience as an athlete. I’ve worked with people ranging from 10 years old to 70+, from nationally competitive strongman and powerlifting athletes to complete beginners stepping into the gym for the first time. I’ve also worked with older adults navigating challenges such as osteoporosis, and Alzheimer’s. Regardless of where someone starts, my goal is the same: help them become stronger, more capable, and more confident in what their body can do.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Anthropology and Sociology from Northern Arizona University and have a background in communications and the humanities. That education has shaped the way I coach. I pride myself on being able to meet people at their level, explain the “why” behind what we’re doing, and make strength training understandable and approachable without unnecessarily complicating it.

Ultimately, I believe strength training should improve more than numbers on a barbell…it should improve the way you live your life. My goal as a coach is to help people build strength, improve their fitness, accomplish meaningful goals, and become more capable both inside and outside the gym.

When I’m not coaching or pursuing my own training goals, I enjoy learning, painting, and spending time at home with my dog, Ozzy.

You can experience the magic of Xavier’s through:
• 1:1 Personal Training
• Our S&C Classes
• Silver Strength
• Online Coaching
• Strong(wo)man Sunday

Happy 12 Year Gym-iversary to Carol!

She has been one of the most consistent people I’ve ever trained in my career. Not only has she been a positive light to all those around her she’s STAYED consistent through 👇🏻

- becoming a CEO
- multiple gym partners
- interns and brand new trainers
- injuries
- surgeries
- vacations
- a pandemic
- losing loved ones
- retirement
- illness
- 3 new gym locations
- price increases
- new baby (mine hehe)
- highs and lows (also mine!)
- loss of hair (again, mine 🤓)
- and so much more

She’s kept it going…still learning, still progressing, still showing up.

We’re inspired by you, Carol! ❤️
