Rooted in Rochester

More than
a place to train.

John and Kelly built Ace around family, faith, and a belief that Rochester deserves a private gym where people feel known. Christ is at the center of our purpose; people of every background are welcome here.

The Spud Truck typically joins us in the parking lot 3–5 days a week. Its schedule changes weekly—check before you stop by.

SHIFT WELLNESS

COMING SOON TO ACE

COMING IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS

Clinical wellness. A new chapter at Ace.

Shift’s approach combines comprehensive bloodwork, review with a licensed provider, and personalized wellness planning. We’ll share the services available at Ace, pricing, and appointment details as our launch takes shape.

Accepting interest signups now. Join our list for launch updates, service details, and appointment availability. Clinical appointments are not open yet.

NOW HIRING / REGISTERED NURSE

Help build our wellness team.

We’re currently recruiting a nurse to see clients as this offering launches. We’re looking for a licensed professional who actively practices fitness and wellness, brings compassionate care, and is passionate about helping clients build healthier habits.

A set schedule. Competitive wages. Start with a six-month contract at 20–30 hours per week across 5–6 days, with potential to grow into a salaried career with bonuses after the initial contract.

No overnight shifts. Predictable appointments. Know who you’re meeting with ahead of time, with an efficiently organized schedule that respects your time.

Clinical responsibilities will be defined around the role, professional qualifications, and the program’s licensed-provider arrangements.
