Kaizen is a coaching gym, not a gym with coaches.

Most gyms give you access. Kaizen gives you a system. 

Every program here, whether you train with our coaches three times a week or follow a custom plan through the TrainHeroic app, is built around your movement, your schedule, your needs, and goals you can actually measure.

 

Garrison, who oversees all programming, has an extensive background in exercise physiology. Your programming isn't pulled from a template. It reflects how the body actually adapts, and how to accelerate that adaptation without breaking you down in the process.

 

We've trained D1 volleyball athletes, NBA players, USA Olympic softball athletes, and working professionals who haven't touched a barbell in a decade. The programming scales. The standards don't.

"I never have to think about what I'm doing when I walk in. Garrison always has a plan, and I always leave knowing I worked hard on exactly what I should have."

— Emily W.

Program Overview

In-Person Coaching

Training designed around your unique needs, delivered in the gym.

You show up. The Kaizen coaching staff handles the rest. The programming, the cues, the adjustments, and the accountability that keeps the work compounding week over week. 

Available 1x, 2x, or 3x per week.

Starting at $57 / week 

*Ask about discounts.

Hybrid Coaching

Expert programming and access to the best training facility in Oklahoma.

Your custom training plan lives in TrainHeroic, a professional and easy to learn coaching app, with personalized Kaizen video demonstrations, progress tracking, and direct access to your coach. Built for athletes and professionals who travel, prefer to train independently, or want structured programming without fixed session times.

​​Available 1x, 2x, or 3x per week.

$199 / 4 weeks

*Ask about discounts.

General Membership (24/7 Access)

Premium facility. No crowds. Any hour.

24/7 access to Kaizen's full facility — Sorinex rigs, Keiser machines, Rogue barbells, cable systems, a full turf, and more at our Norman location. Built for people who know what they're doing and want the equipment and space to do it right.

Athlete Training Program

Serious development for high school athletes and younger.

Built around the demands of sport — speed, power, strength, and durability. Garrison's exercise physiology background drives the programming. Parents can expect coaching that develops the whole athlete, not just the max lift.

We cover the X’s and O’s, but a lot of the real coaching here happens in between the sets.

-Damin S. | Member since January 2019

“Can’t really say enough good things about this gym and staff. Guaranteed to speak with really knowledgeable trainers who can help you reach whatever your goal(s) may be. They genuinely care about building a strong community and creating an inclusive environment for everyone. Everything you could possibly want or need in a gym.”

Trace S. (Member Since 2019)

“I had never stepped into a gym before Kaizen due to fear of feeling lost or just overall dumb. I wish I had found Kaizen sooner. All the trainers are knowledgeable and friendly which make it a super comfortable and safe environment. I have never felt uncomfortable or out of place. The owner Garrison knows how to develop a strong community and a sense of belonging. Since joining Kaizen I feel stronger and more confident.”

Charlie B. (Member Since 2024)

“After having a baby seven months ago, I was nervous about working out and going to the gym. Kaizen is a gym that's full of knowledgeable trainers, welcoming gym members, and a great place to focus on your goals. Garrison and his crew will show you how to attain healthy workout and nutrition routines while you pet the most adorable dogs on planet earth. If you are looking for an awesome gym community, look no further.”

Ava B. (Member Since 2019)

“Top notch does not even come close to describing the amazing people and their talent leading this effort. They are not only kind and disciplined, but professionals at building a plan that sets you on the track to meet your goals. 2nd to none. There really is no comparison (and I have tried several facilities and programs). This is as good as it gets!”

Scott H. (Member Since 2022)

“Speaking as an athlete, seriously the best trainers and place to be the best version of yourself. They push me, coach me, but overall they’re just great people!”

Tiare J. (Member Since 2025)

“I have belonged to many different gyms and utilized several trainers over the last 30+ years. This has been the most effective and enjoyable experience by far. Highly educated staff with the insight for maximum progress while focusing on safety and overall health. The diversity of their members speak volumes for their flexible and broad abilities to achieve one's goals. I feel like I have tapped into a fountain of youth I never thought was possible!”

Wendy W. (Member Since 2019)

“I can’t recommend Kaizen enough! Hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The energy is always welcoming and uplifting, and the gym and equipment is always clean. I always feel comfortable and motivated here!”

Emily W. (Member Since 2023)

“Kaizen is an incredible place. It feels like a massive home gym, in all the best ways. It’s odd to call a gym cozy but kaizen is just that. It also has some of the best members. I have never met someone who isn’t willing to help you, whether you are just trying to better your health or lift some serious weight. You can do it all here.”

Zach G. (Member Since 2024)

“I admit it, I originally picked this gym because of the name. The owner clearly spoke my language and that was confirmed the moment I walked in the door. I've never felt so welcomed and instantly comfortable. The trainers listen to your goals and then create customized plans to help you reach them. I appreciate that they focus on safety and patiently answer all of my questions. I'm definitely hooked!”

Lisa M. (Member Since 2025)

“Kaizen is awesome for accountability & tailoring to your unique goals. We’ve been going & they’ve also worked out with our 6 year old boy & he Loves It! All the coaches are great! They will help with nutrition guidance as well and help you meet your goals. My favorite thing is they can individualize your workout if you have aches/pains/ old injuries etc and they are so knowledgeable! And the tailored workouts & coaching help with getting us there!”

ABOUT

Norman's gym for people who take this seriously (without taking themselves too seriously.)

Kaizen opened in 2019 with one premise: that the people of Norman deserved access to the kind of coaching that had only existed at the college and professional levels. Since then, the community has grown because the results are real and the culture is worth showing up for.

 

This is a gym where a high school sprinter, a 45-year-old professional, and a former college linebacker can train in the same space, under the same coaching philosophy, and all get exactly what they came for.

Your first conversation is always free.

Tell us where you are, where you want to go, and what's been getting in the way. We'll tell you exactly what it looks like to train at Kaizen and how we can best solve your individual questions.
