My experience at Big Blue Strength has been nothing short of amazing. The staff care about good form and technique and are always kind and supportive. The environment supports people of all ages and efforts and this is important to me in a gym. The equipment is nice and it’s a hard working but fun atmosphere. I love my Big Blue family!

After a life change took me away from Big Blue, 2 years ago, I have since returned and the atmosphere is as welcoming, encouraging, and supportive. It felt wonderful to walk back in with more confidence and determination as I knew I would have the expert coaches and equipment and programs to help me achieve any goals I set. It takes time, but the Big Blue coaching team is about progress and correcting habits before they start. I grew in my ability and strength so much after a few weeks of being back. The fellow gym members are the best around and accept you where you are without judgment or competition. If you’re looking for custom one on one coaching in fitness, Pilates, weightlifting, and nutrition, this is your place. Looking for a gym to help you maintain, that’s here too. Need a new environment with small group fitness, they have it. You won’t find high quality, highly educated and experienced coaches at most gyms in town, at Big Blue, that’s all they offer!

Big Blue Strength is, simply put, amazing. Melissa (owner) is an amazing coach with a wealth of knowledge and experience as a competitive athlete that shapes how she coaches and runs her gym. She treats each client as an athlete with great potential. She cultivates an environment that fosters success and celebration of each individual athlete’s progression. Melissa and her coaching staff care about clients, will work with you to modify exercises to suit your ability, and will always offer thoughtful and expert feedback that will help you meet your goals. I appreciate Melissa’s commitment to quality and improvement over “just lifting heavy” and know I’m a healthier, stronger, and more focused athlete because of my time here. (Bonus gym dogs also make this place amazing)

Dropped into Big Blue Strength this weekend and had a great experience from start to finish! Melissa opened her facility to me and Coach Paul greeted me in such a friendly manner and directed me to all the equipment I’d need. Big Blue has plenty of Olympic bars, kilo plates, and a well-kept and organized platform. Thank you both for your hospitality during my stay in Lexington, I’ll surely be back and will recommend your gym to others.

After four years, I can’t say enough good things about this gym and community. It will not be a good fit for everyone, but if it fits you then they’ll help you thrive. One aspect that has become more important to me is that they don’t only focus on strength. That’s a big part, but also mobility, nutrition, balance come into play. I feel healthier and stronger overall than I have in years and I credit Big Blue Strength for a lot of that

Amazing Gym and Coach! I've been going to Big Blue Strength since 2019, and it has truly been a game-changer for me. Owner and coach Melissa is simply phenomenal. Her expertise in Olympic Weightlifting is unmatched, and she has helped me master the techniques with patience and precision. Not only does she excel in weightlifting, but her knowledge extends to Pilates and overall strength training. Melissa genuinely cares about her clients, pushing us to improve, get stronger, and even compete if that's our goal. If you're looking for a gym with a knowledgeable coach who will help you achieve your fitness goals, Big Blue Strength is the place to be!

I've gone to a lot of gyms in my life and none of them have helped me as much as Big Blue has. Melissa has noticed and helped fix a lot of issues with my lifts that other coaches didn't see. If you're open to learning, you can really learn how to move well and get stronger here. I particularly like all of the strongman and other specialty equipment we have, and the Pilates classes.

Big Blue Strength is hands down the best gym in Lexington! The coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging, and truly care about helping you reach your goals. Workouts are challenging but tailored to your level, and the community is so welcoming you actually look forward to going. I’ve gotten stronger, healthier, and more confident since joining—highly recommend!

Spent 2+ years training at Big Blue Strength and have nothing but positive remarks. The attention to detail and organization of the strength training program is second to none. Not only did I consistently experience strength gains after each training block… Mike and Melissa Kamphake also played major roles in my personal development. The Big Blue Strength approach is effective for all ages and all athletic ambitions. Grateful for my time at BBS and would recommend to anyone.
