About Us

We strive daily to facilitate and elevate health, wellness, and fitness throughout your entire lifetime, wherever you may be on your journey.

We have an extremely diverse client and member base. In every conceivable way: Young, middle-aged, and old. Physically, ethnically, socially, financially, athletically, and in terms of career paths…You name it. The pursuit of lifelong health, wellness, and fitness is our common ground.

We offer a wide-range of programming options: Everything from CrossFit (We are the home of longtime CF affiliate CrossFit Springfield) to classes that focus more specifically on the pursuits of mobility, strength, endurance, or lightweight aerobic conditioning.

We are unified, strong to the core, and rooted in both faith and love. Our ethos is “Never Quit.”

Getting Started

Joining our gym is easy. New members are required to take 3 on-ramp private training sessions with one of our coaches aka “Foundations.” These sessions are scheduled based upon your availability, and your 1st month’s membership is included in the fee you pay for your 3 foundations PT sessions. The purpose of your foundations PT sessions are 3-fold:

You may begin attending daily group WODs, row classes, and endurance training sessions immediately.

You’re also welcome to schedule a free orientation (walk through, check out the facility, learn about our operations, etc) or pay the daily drop in fee to check the vibe and try a group workout.

Our History

The name “Proximal Strength” was conceived by owner/founder Jeremy Mhire in 2008. As a graduate of Missouri State University’s Sports Medicine Athletic Training program, a personal trainer/strength & conditioning coach, and accomplished CrossFit competitor, Mhire subscribes wholeheartedly to the concept of “core-to-extremity” aka “proximal-to-distal” and holds strongly to the belief that – in both fitness and life – you can only be as strong in your extremities as you are at your core.
