About Us

Real People. Real Coaching.

We're a smaller gym with a bigger purpose — helping our New Brighton neighbors get stronger, healthier, and more confident, one session at a time.

Our Story

A Gym That Feels Personal

DM Total Fitness was founded in 2026 by Damon and Markus, two trainers who believe getting in shape shouldn't mean fighting for equipment in a crowded warehouse or locking into a contract you can't escape.

So they built the gym they always wanted to train in: a clean, well-equipped space in New Brighton where members get genuine coaching, flexible 24/7 access, and a welcoming community — without the intimidation of a big-box chain.

Whether you're chasing a major transformation or just want a no-pressure place to stay healthy, you'll be known by name here and supported every step of the way.

What We Stand For

Our Approach

No Judgment

Every body and every starting point belongs here. We meet you where you are and build from there.

Goal-Driven

Lose weight, get stronger, move better, or just feel good — we program around what you want to achieve.

Personal Attention

A smaller gym means the owners actually know you. You're never just a number on a contract.

The Team

Meet Your Trainers

Damon and Markus bring the experience, the programming, and the encouragement to keep you moving forward.
