Five years ago today, we officially opened the doors to Straight Shot Training!

Since then, 785 people have trusted us to be a small part of their fitness journey.

Together, they've completed 61,197 workouts and lifted more than 180 million pounds.

Those numbers are pretty incredible to look back on, but what they represent means a whole lot more to us.

Over the past five years, we've watched people get stronger, gain muscle, lose body fat, establish routines they never thought they could stick with, and accomplish things in the gym they never thought they were capable of.

We've seen people work their way back from joint replacements and injuries, reduce pain, improve their health, train before and after having a baby, and build strength that carries over into everything else they want to do outside of the gym.

But some of the things we're proudest of can't really be measured.

We've watched friendships form between people who probably never would have met otherwise. We've seen members encourage each other through hard workouts, celebrate each other's wins, show up for each other outside of the gym, and help create a place where people of all ages, backgrounds, abilities, and experience levels can feel welcomed and supported.

Whether it's three to five people training together in a semi-private session or a gym full of people hanging out at one of our potlucks, that sense of community has become one of the most important parts of Straight Shot.

And that's something we've all built together. Every person who has walked through our doors over the past five years has played a part in making Straight Shot what it is today.

To everyone who's been part of Straight Shot over these past five years, thank you for trusting us, supporting us, and helping turn what started as a dream into the community we have today. We couldn't have built this without you, and we're excited to keep building it together.

And if you haven't been part of Straight Shot yet, we'd love to welcome you into this community. Whether you're just getting started or you've been training for years, we want you to have a place where you feel supported, where people care about your progress, and where you can work toward your goals alongside others doing the same.

Here's to another five years of getting stronger together!

What a night with this crew!

Friday night, we got dressed up and headed to the SASS Choice Awards Gala to celebrate being voted Best Gym/Fitness Center for the third year in a row!

We always have such a great time at this event, and this year's theme was "Wild About Our Winners," so of course we had to break out the leopard-print 😂

This year's celebration was even more special because tomorrow marks FIVE YEARS of Straight Shot Training!

When we started building Straight Shot five years ago, we weren't a big brand or a franchise. We were just a tight-knit crew with big dreams, a training system we believed in, and a community willing to invest in our dream and what we were trying to build.

To be celebrating five years as a small business in Frederick and winning this award for the third year in a row means a whole lot to us.

Thank you to everyone who voted for us, believed in us, and has supported us along the way. We wouldn't be here without you!

We've got a lot to celebrate this week, and we're just getting started!

Let’s hear it for our September 100 and 250 Club inductees!

Congratulations to Andy and Amy for reaching 100 training sessions, and Jeannie, Rayesh, and Caitlyn for reaching 250!

At Straight Shot, we’re big on celebrating consistency. Because when it comes to strength training, showing up regularly and putting in the work is what produces results.

There’s a reason we encourage our members to strength train 2–3 times per week.

It’s a proven, effective frequency for building strength, increasing muscle mass, and improving your overall health.

Whether your goal is to lose weight, build muscle, get stronger, manage aches and pains, reduce your risk of chronic disease, or simply stay healthy and active as you get older, consistent strength training can make a tremendous difference.

And that’s why we celebrate these milestones. Not because 100 or 250 is some magic number, but because every session represents another investment in your long-term health.

We’re proud of every one of you for continuing to show up and put in the work.

Congratulations!

Getting ready for the Sheppard Pratt Turkey Trot in Frederick? 🦃🏃

Next up in our strength training exercises for runners is one that shouldn’t be overlooked: the single-leg calf raise!

Your calf muscles play a huge role in running. They help propel you forward with every stride, absorb and transfer forces when your feet contact the ground, and support your ankles as you run.

Building stronger calves can help improve your running performance and prepare your lower legs for the repetitive demands of training for a 5K.

And the best part? You don’t need any equipment to get started!

A few things to focus on:
🏃 Start with both feet on the ground and raise your heels as high as possible
🏃 Keep your knees straight and focus on pushing through the balls of your feet
🏃 Lower your heels slowly until they lightly touch the ground
🏃 Once you can comfortably perform the movement on two legs, progress to one leg at a time

If you need a little help with balance, hold onto a wall or another sturdy surface. The goal is to work through a full, controlled range of motion.

Try 3 sets of 10–15 reps per side. If you’re just starting out, use both legs until you’re ready to progress!

The single-leg calf raise is part of the Strength Training for Runners program that Straight Shot Training designed for the Sheppard Pratt Turkey Trot in Frederick.

Want the full program? Head to the Sheppard Pratt Turkey Trot in Frederick website and click Training Plans. You can download the Strength Training for Runners program for FREE, along with 12-week running plans for Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced runners.

We’ll be sharing more tips and exercises to help you feel stronger and more prepared as we get closer to Thanksgiving morning! 🦃💪

WELCOME COACH ANNA!

We’re excited to introduce the newest addition to the Straight Shot Training coaching team, Coach Anna Mondoro!

Anna comes to us from our friends at the Shepherd University Wellness Center, where she previously worked, and brings a degree in Kinesiology, five years of experience as a certified personal trainer, and a strong background in both athletics and strength training.

What we’re especially excited about is the way Anna approaches coaching. She brings a lot of knowledge and education to the floor, but pairs that with encouragement, accountability, and knowing how to challenge people appropriately. That combination fits really well with how we coach at Straight Shot and with the experience we want our members to have here.

Anna will be coaching throughout the week, including middays, evenings, and Saturdays, so our members are going to be seeing a lot of her around the gym. We’re excited to have her as part of a coaching team that really is the heart of what we do here, and we can’t wait for everyone to get the chance to work with her.

Here’s a little more about Anna, in her own words:

“I started lifting weights in high school and grew to love the experience of challenging my body and mind. Going into college, my enthusiasm continued to develop. As a student-athlete and Kinesiology major, movement remained a huge part of my routine, and I knew I wanted to pursue a career in the fitness industry.
I have now been a certified trainer for five years, working with clients to improve their strength and quality of life. One of my favorite things about coaching is educating people and giving them the tools to build a solid foundation of strength and confidence that benefits them both in and outside of the gym.”

Welcome to Straight Shot, Coach Anna!

Five years ago today, on October 2, 2021, this was Straight Shot.

We were still two weeks away from officially opening and had basically nothing in the gym yet, no equipment, no flooring, just some bands, mats, and the names of our coaches taped to the wall, but somehow all of these people still showed up.

And that’s probably my favorite part about looking through these pictures five years later. Look at the people in them, because so many of them are still part of Straight Shot today. Some of the others were friends and professionals in the fitness industry who came out that morning just to support us, but everyone who walked into that unfinished gym that day was taking a chance on what Straight Shot could become before there was really much of anything to see.

John, Delaney, and Bailey coached that first workout, and they deserve a ton of credit for trusting in what we were trying to build and being the first coaches to bring it to life. They were there from day one, coaching a group of people who were also willing to take a chance on this place, and looking at these pictures now, it’s pretty cool to see that the coaches and the community were really building Straight Shot together from the very beginning.

There was nothing impressive about the gym yet, it was a giant, loud, echoey room with a concrete floor, we barely had anything to train with, but people came anyway, they trained together, laughed together, supported each other, and started creating the kind of place we hoped Straight Shot could eventually become.

We officially opened our doors on October 13, 2021, but October 2 will always be a pretty special day around here, because five years later we can look at these pictures and realize the community wasn’t something that came after we built the gym.

It was there before the flooring was.

P.S. Huge thank you to Aaron May Photography for capturing the soul of our community since day 1!

We’re excited to officially announce Maddy Camp as Straight Shot’s new Membership Coordinator!

As Straight Shot continues to grow, we want to make sure every person who reaches out to us and every member who trains with us has someone they can count on throughout their entire experience here. And that person is Maddy!

For most people, Maddy will be the very first person they hear from when they reach out to Straight Shot. She’ll help them take those first steps, welcome them into our community, and even be the person behind the handwritten thank-you card they receive when they become a member.

And once they’re members, she’ll continue to be there to help with scheduling, membership and billing questions, onboarding, and anything else they need along the way.

And don’t worry, Maddy isn’t going anywhere as a coach. She’ll still be coaching and working directly with our members on the training floor, while also taking on this new role behind the scenes.

Maddy has been an important part of our coaching team, and we’re excited to have her step into a role that allows her to have an even bigger impact on the experience we provide our members from the very first conversation.

Help us congratulate Maddy on her new role!

Welcome to the 500 Club, Joe Casella!

When Joe first came to Straight Shot, his goal was to build muscle. Fast forward 500 sessions, and he’s built an impressive amount of lean mass, tremendous strength, and a whole lot of confidence along the way!

But there’s a lot more to celebrate about Joe than his progress in the gym.

He’s a staple of our 7 AM crew, a regular at our community events, and just one of those people who makes this place better just by being here.

Someone once described Straight Shot as “chill but challenging,” and I think Joe embodies that perfectly. He brings a relaxed, welcoming attitude to every session, but when it’s time to train, he puts in the work, focuses on his progress, and follows his coach’s cues.

500 sessions of showing up, getting stronger, and being a great part of this community. That’s what being a Straight Shot member is all about.

Congratulations, Joe! We’re lucky to have you!

A little Saturday celebration for Coach Bailey!

With Bailey wrapping up her last week at the studio before maternity leave, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate her and the newest little addition to the Straight Shot family!

Thank you to everyone who came out yesterday to show her so much love. It’s pretty special getting to share these milestones with the people who make this community what it is.

We’re going to miss having you around the studio for a little while, Bailey, but we couldn’t be more excited for you and Youssef as you prepare to welcome little Noor!

We can’t wait to meet you, future Coach Noor!

We’re making it easier to train with us!

Over the past five years, we’ve had the opportunity to coach hundreds of people through thousands of training sessions at Straight Shot, and one thing we’ve learned over and over again is that consistency matters.

You don’t need to live in the gym to get stronger and make progress. For most of the people we work with, consistently getting in here 2-3 times each week can make a huge difference.

But as we’ve grown, we’ve also recognized that we need to keep making it easier for our members to actually do that.

Some of our most popular session times have gotten pretty full, work and family schedules change, and the time that worked perfectly for someone six months ago might not work anymore.

So this fall, we’re rolling out a number of member-focused updates designed around making training at Straight Shot more convenient and making it easier to stay consistent.

The first one starts October 1st: we’re expanding our Semi-Private Training schedule!

We’ll now have more training options throughout the entire day, from early morning through the evening, along with additional options on Saturdays.

For our current members, that means more choices if you want to permanently move to a time that works better for your schedule, and more options when life happens and you need to reschedule.

And for anyone who has thought about training with us but wondered how you’d fit it into your schedule, we want to make that easier too.

We know our coaching system works, and as Straight Shot continues to grow, we want to make sure the experience keeps getting better along with it.

Our goal is pretty simple: keep providing great coaching, keep listening to what our members need, and keep making it easier to get in here, train consistently, and get stronger.
