Your body is built to move and taking care of it helps you live fully, no matter your goals. Building a strong foundation early on is key, but it’s never too late to start. Walking is a great beginning, but to truly preserve your strength, balance, and mobility, you need movement that challenges and supports every part of your body. Strength training is one of the most powerful ways to build a body that supports you every day. It keeps your bones, muscles, and joints healthy so you can do what you love—whether that’s hiking, playing with your kids, or crushing your next fitness challenge.
Your body is your home—treat it well, and it will carry you through every adventure.
At Capital City Fitness & Performance (CapitalCityFit.com), our expert coaches create programs tailored to your individual needs. Physical health and mental well-being are deeply connected—supporting your body is one of the best ways to support your mind. Capital City caters to all ages but can help older adults stay healthy and build better habits. Participants in our group and personal training sessions describe the workout environment to be more than a gym and more than a guided program. Mike Bevard, owner and trainer at Capital City Fitness is dedicated to creating a true wellness communities in every session.
“Success, for us, is seeing members show up week after week — even through the ups, downs, busy seasons, and real-life chaos. When fitness becomes a consistent part of their life, that’s the win,” says Mike. “
Our coaches focus on creating a safe, welcoming space where people can thrive, grow and be themselves. Because of that, real friendships are formed here. Not just gym buddies — actual connections that make this place feel like a second home.
We make sure people feel seen, supported and cared for. Our coaches check in, ask how they’re doing, and meet them where they’re at. When someone knows you’re in their corner, it’s a lot easier to stay consistent and keep showing up.
We believe in training for life — strength, energy, confidence, and longevity. The time is now. Take action.
We welcome all people, all abilities, all shapes and sizes. The only requirements? A great attitude, a strong work ethic, and a willingness to make a change. Don’t let the START… stop you!

How long have you been with Capital Fitness? I have been training with Mike Bevard since 2007, before he started Capital City Bootcamp.
“I’ve trained with Mike for almost 19 years, and I’ve never considered stopping or going anywhere else. Mike’s approach is that staying fit should be fun, not drudgery, and he works hard to make it that way and to blend in nutritional tips and lifestyle choices that compliment the training.”

I love that Mike provides support for all levels of fitness and that we all help and support each other on our fitness journey, for whatever that journey means to you. Mike’s energy is amazing! Mike focuses on making the class a health and wellness community. While the class focuses on strength and cardio fitness, there is also a mental health component as well. Mike’s classes encompass so much more than just a physical fitness journey. It’s the overall well being of bodies and spirits that make the class unique.
