The best gym! The owners are the sweetest people and their dog always welcomes you in! They are there to help with any questions and will show you how to use any of the equipment! Going to Goetz is the best part of my day!

“Another morning training. Why am I training on a Treadmill you ask? Because of time constraints mostly. By the time I get to a trail I would have to turn around to get to work on time. This way I can do an hour of straight climbing with some strength training during the week, and hit the trails on the weekend. Best part is I have an amazing gym family! They inspire me, support me and have amazing advice for preparing my body! Goetz Physical Culture Center has been a huge part of my life for 6 years, and I’m blessed to have them on this journey as well.”

This gym is owned by some of the coolest and nicest people on earth (including their dog😁). You will be encouraged, seen, respected, included, and helped here with whatever you need. Love that I can go 24/7 too. Great deal of trust, love and respect for follow man at this place 👍 The equipment is all you need to be a professional body builder or a beginner. Great yoga classes and plenty of cardio equipment as well. I highly recommend Goetz!

“To start this is an excellent all-around facility. The name bears the label “physical culture center” and the facility not only lives up to the label it goes above and beyond. The equipment here should set the standard for gyms as it offers mobility to move upwards towards ones physical goals wherever one may find themselves on that path. Not on the path? Good, because this facility is ran by true professionals who build strong relationships with its guests and are actively Interested in seeing that you get on the path toward your goals (They are there for you). Worried about pricing? Well don’t worry, by joining Goetz you won’t have to be locked into any contract nor will you be burning a hole in your pocket as they offer lower monthly payments than any other gym you might find as well as student discounts and the ability to work with how you would like those payments made. “What about hours though?” You might ask. This facility offers 24/7 access allowing you to reach your goals on your time and with your own schedule whether that be late at night, early in the morning or during the afternoon (They are there for you). As I am new to the town and to the high school here in town I am comforted to know that this facility is here. I’m not overpaying for a membership and I am free to use the facility whenever I need it to reach my goals. The staff have been so kind and helpful to me and that is not something you can get at a top-notch facility like this anymore. When you enter the door you immediately feel welcomed. This is most certainly the place you want to be. To conclude this physical fitness center sets a high bar for any other. They not only meet the standard they are the standard. This is a place where you can learn, laugh, grow, and reach your goals. To that I say WELL DONE.”

Mark and Radonna were super helpful when I visited and the facilities are kept super clean and tidy. They definitely run a tight ship! Thank you!
01/21/2019 from Tracy Brown:
Every time I walk through the doors I am greeted with smiles, warm welcomes, and hugs from either staff or another member. The Goetz have truly created a culture that not only celebrates where each individual is on their physical journey but a community of members that encourage each other to go for their best. They inspire members to be the best version of themselves and have all the resources available to meet everyone at the level they are on. It’s a beautiful physical culture center across the board. Thank you Radonna and Mark for all you do!
01/16/2019 from Jack Johnson:
“Great Value for Seniors, good equipment and helpful staff!”
12/16/2018 from Aaron LeBlanc:
Radonna and Mark know how to run a business, they make everybody feel at home like it’s more like the comfort of a house instead of a gym but don’t let that for you they will push you and encourage you to get a good workout, they give attention to anyone and everyone that asks for any type of help, they are very understanding and willing to work with you on any concerns. By far the best gym I’ve had a membership at, best of all while you’re there you don’t feel the atmosphere that makes you uncomfortable as somebody who’s just trying to get an average workout while also having sufficient equipment for those who are more on the extreme side or competitive side of weight.lifting. This gym gets you what you need from A to Z and I would completely recommend it to anyone, lastly they just open a another building upgrading equipment and the size of the building dramatically so everything I mentioned in my review has only gotten better with the new building. Thanks again!
12/2018 from Michael Mora:
Three years ago I was on stage competing in my first ever bodybuilding competition. It was a dream of mine for many, many years. For the longest time I was told that it was impossible and that it couldn’t be done, especially by me. Because of you guys and your encouragement, support and guidance I was able to manifest that dream. I will always be grateful for what you guys did and I will never forget just how amazing you guys are!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
11/30/2018 from Loba StrongHeart:

10/16/2018 from Trey Villarreal:
“Wanted to say thank you again for the hospitality y’all have shown me at the gym. There’s nothing like being somewhere that a person’s well-being is just as important to the owners as it is to yourself. Y’all are what motivators and gym owners are supposed to be like in my opinion. The way y’all Interact with people is amazing.”

03/16/18 from Nina Yablok:
“Radonna and Mark have made me so comfortable here. And if anyone wants a personal trainer, Mike Coursey is fantastic. Part of me can’t wait for the move (and not having the sun come in on warm days will be great. But it means I’ll have to drive to the other end of Glen Rose ;( Oh well, it will still be worth it.
If it’s important to you, you find a way. If it’s not you’ll find an excuse. It’s never too late (or too difficult) to get into shape and Radonna and Mark will make it so much easier.”
01/31/18 from Karissa Hunter:
“Love this gym! Mark, Radonna, and staff are extremely helpful and supportive with anything you may need. The gym offers a wide variety of equipment to meet any of your fitness goals. Gym-goers make for a relaxing, fun, and entertaining environment. I would recommend this gym to anyone!”

04/19/17 from Christi Rains:
“At 63 years of age, it is important to me to build and maintain as much muscle as possible. I’m sure it will improve the quality of the rest of my life. Michael Coursey has helped me build my core and other muscles safely through weight training. Walking and running don’t build muscle like weight training.
I really enjoy the friendly atmosphere at Goetz. And the knowledgeable Personal Trainers like Michael Coursey. He designs challenging but interesting workouts for me. A different one every time. I have never had to do a boring treadmill.”

“Well laid out neither chic nor shabby simply a fully furnished place to meet any need. ….n really nice proprietors.”
09/23/16 from Charles Rains
“Why drive to a gym rather than workout at home. Because structure ensures compliance while the home place promotes distractions and excuses. Couple this with the professional knowledge of personal trainers like Michael Coursey …in my case more like a rehab specialist…he is capable of selecting the right exercises done technically correct to effect the most positive resolution quickest.”
09/01/16 from Kira Hydock
“I wanted to let you know that I had to drive back to Philadelphia on Friday. It was so great to be there! I really appreciate the friendliness you all showed me! I’m definitely hoping to be back in a few years when I’m done with school and become a born again Texan. And I’ll absolutely join up again! I loved it there!”
07/29/16 from Jerry Woods
“Hit my target weight today! Thanks to Goetz Physical Culture Center of Glen Rose! And of course Miss Pam. Always encouraging and positive. With helpful directions. Hey Radonna, notice no sleeves!”
05/27/16 from Rosario Sosol-Lihaut to Personal Trainer Michael Coursey:
“I’m so glad I had the courage to ask you about boot camp, I was doubting myself because of my age but I signed up for it and I have no regrets, even though you told me it wasn’t a competition I took it as one….against my old self and I defeated her, you are so inspiring! and I feel blessed and happy you are going to share your experience and time with me…. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!”
05/27/16 from Personal Trainer Michael Coursey regarding the recently completed Boot Camp:
“WOW!!! Countless burpees, lots and lots of running, thrusters, squats, Push-ups, sit-ups, stairs, BEAR CRAWLS, broad jumps, farmers carry,….I could go on!! This group STARTED strong and FINISHED even STRONGER!
I was asked several times, “how do you get 16 people to show up at 5am and do all that?” I answered, “These guys already have a flame burning inside and I simply feed that flame till it’s a raging fire!”
So proud to have worked with all of you and the few who couldn’t finish for whatever reason!
Now, it’s been a lifestyle for 8 weeks! What possible reason is good enough to go back to the way you USED to be. CONTINUE moving forward, not only physically, but emotionally, and Spiritually too!!”
05/19/16 from Jessica Howard:

09/28/15 from Michael Mora:
“Mark and Radonna Goetz, I want to take this time to thank you both for all of the support and encouragement that you gave me during the last 17 weeks. You both have such amazing hearts and a humongous giving nature. Without your guidance, knowledge and selfless character I would have never stepped on that stage. Even when I was starting to doubt myself, you kept your faith in me. You both held me up and never asked for anything in return. The only reward you sought was to see me achieve my life long goal. It’s said that bodybuilding is a “selfish” sport but I can speak from experience that that statement is completely false. Without strong encouragement, guidance and support from people that truly care; it cannot be done. I thank God for allowing our paths to cross and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for ALL that you have done. It is so amazing to know that there are people still out there like you. Whether you want to claim me or not, you will always be family to me. Can’t see the screen thru the tears any more so I better stop typing. Sincerely, The happiest bodybuilder on earth!!!!”

The owners, Mark & Radonna Goetz, are awesome. They both took time to visit with us, answer any questions we had, and help set up personalized workout programs. They also help with healthy eating meal ideas and planning.
We were there 3 hours and never saw anyone come in the door that one of the owners did not greet. Great atmosphere!”
