Gunelson Fitness Expands and Extends Hours


G Matt & Brigitt Gunelson


unelson Fitness and Nutrition, of Golden Valley, recently completed the expansion of an addi-


tional training and workout room. This home-based fitness center now has two complete gyms. It also has expanded its open hours to accommodate grow- ing clientele.


Husband-and-wife owners Matt and Brigitt Gunelson are both certified personal


trainers and nutrition coaches who work with clients in their Golden Valley home in two separate gyms totaling 850 square feet. Further work to expand the square footage of the upstairs gym from 250 to 550 is planned for 2015. Both trainers offer one-on-one or partner training sessions and work with small groups, either at their studio or at clients’ homes. They also offer aromatherapy sessions, nutrition counseling, yoga and Pilates classes, partner training and boot camp. They recently added online fitness and nutrition planning. “We’re excited to see more people taking steps to improve their health and


vitality,” says Matt, a natural bodybuilder who competed the last two years in Mr. Natural Minnesota. “Not everyone is comfortable in a gym setting and many are unsure how to use the


variety of machines,” says Brigitt. “Our clients prefer the non-intimidating environment of our private gym and love the privacy of workouts in our home, while building their fitness knowledge and confidence, wherever they are in their health journey.””
