About Peak Fit Center
Our History
In 2023, Chad and Krista Schrader proudly became the new owners of Peak Fitness Center, bringing with them a fresh vision and a passion for community wellness. Since taking over, they’ve made exciting renovations, added new equipment, and expanded the gym’s offerings to create a space where members of all fitness levels feel welcomed and inspired.
Peak Fitness Center is more than just a gym—it’s a place where goals are set, limits are pushed, and support is always within reach. With a commitment to providing a clean, modern, and motivating environment, we continue to grow while staying true to our mission: helping every member reach their personal peak.
FUNCTIONAL FITNESS at Peak FITNESS POWERED BY MAYHEM
Our Functional Fitness program is designed to challenge, strengthen, and empower. Blending high-intensity interval training with functional movements like lifting, jumping, running, and bodyweight exercises, each workout is constantly varied to keep you engaged and progressing.
Led by experienced coaches in a supportive, small-group environment, this program helps improve strength, endurance, flexibility, and overall performance—whether you're just starting out or looking to level up your fitness. It’s more than a workout—it’s a community focused on becoming stronger together, one rep at a time.
