What I love about training at Lake Effects is the atmosphere. I get a great workout using not just the equipment but the natural challenges of exercising outdoors. I love how I feel after a good workout session.

I have been with holly only a few months and have noticed a definite difference both with tone but also I am getting stronger. She is very helpful and really listens to your goals and needs and wants to get you there. She cares about making sure you are using proper form so you don’t have set backs also I really appreciate that!

Holly’s Lake Effects is more than a gym, it’s a community. Holly caters her training to all fitness levels and can teach safe and effective movements in a very accessible way.
~ Sarah Duyck
I’ve been working out with Holly for about 10 years and I was so excited when she opened her own training business-Holly’s Lake Effects. There’s so much I love about training with her, but what sticks out to me most is she treats everyone like family and her training methods and knowledge have helped me be in the best shape of my life!
~Renee Kavalar
“Joining Holly’s Lake Effects yoga is one of the best decisions I’ve made! Holly puts a lot of effort into her weekly Yin Yoga classes and guides us in a reflective and gentle way. There is no judgement or pressure, and I can just “be” and experience the meditative practice in a warm and welcoming environment. I feel so much better and sleep great these days. Highly recommend! “

I have had the pleasure of being a client of Holly Gramlich for the past eighteen months. During that time period she has been my personal physical trainer, but in addition she has grown to become an individual therapeutic support to guide not only my physical improvement but also my mental improvement for health through physical exercises. She has carefully guided my improvements in strength, flexibility, and stamina through well thought out exercise programs that she structures based on my needs and abilities.
As an independent business woman, Holly has the responsibility of wearing multiple “titles”… that of CEO, Manager of Operations, Advertising & Marketing Vice President, Creative Program Director, Purchasing Director, VP of Finance and others, but she moves through each responsibility effectively and effortlessly, on a daily regimen with her clients.
I believe the key to Holly’s success is her passion and commitment to her client’s through understanding the needs of each individual and creating programs to address those individual needs. I can recommend Holly and Holly’s Lake Effects to anyone needing physical training.

I’ve trained with Holly for four years. In that time, Holly has built my workouts with MY particular needs in mind.
She is kind, soft spoken, patient and understands the whole person not just as a “client”.
She has enriched my life skills/experiences, offering creative ways to train, introducing new sporting activities that I can participate in with confidence.
As a trusted listener and with giggles and laughter, I rely on her coaching to help me forget my troubles while reaching my dreams and goals…. And has become a really awesome friend I treasure.
~Carson Alexander
Holly is a great trainer. She listens well and is very willing to modify the workouts. I have an issue with my knee and shoulder and I am limited in some of the things I can do. Holly is very helpful in giving me adaptations to the workouts so that I can participate.
~Mike Young
Holly knows her clients and adapts the workouts to their needs and goals. We work hard and feel great at the end. Every workout is different – it’s impossible to get bored! You will get serious strength and cardio training in every workout, using a variety of equipment and styles of exercise. The camaraderie and support we get from Holly and each other keeps us motivated and makes it fun!
~ Stephen Fuller
Holly is an awesome trainer and has the ability to make everyone feel welcome irrespective of their fitness levels. I have trained with holly for over 5 years now and each day she has motivated me to push a little harder. I love that she has also incorporated yoga and other fun water activities. If you are looking to be a part of a community while working on your fitness goals – Hollys Lake Effects is the place for you.
~Ash Ray
I love going to Holly’s. She offers a great variety of workouts and motivations for anyone who needs them. She always challenges me to work hard! I would never be as fit as I am without her. She makes me want to workout
~Laura Kovalesky
I love the way I push myself harder when I’m being held accountable. (It’s my own competitiveness that keeps me accountable.) The banter during and after the workout is always in good fun. Being silly and laughing while preservering through the toughest workouts can’t help but unite people. I have made true friends in this environment and the support system I have is unbelievable. Thank you Holly.
~Gail Vires

~Cheryl Blacklock
Holly’s sessions provide a diverse set of exercises that are both challenging and thoughtful to my physical conditions. She provides a nice balance. Over the past years I’ve grown stronger and healthier physically and menatlly thanks to her help. Not only have I found a great coach in Holly, but also a great listener and friend. I highly recommend her for one-on-one training.
~Stefan Holodnick
1. Great place to improve both physical fitness and mental fitness
2. The workouts are planned so that it is fun and interactive while improving the fitness
~Hari & Sai
I trust Holly to consider my personal fitness goals, my interest in variety, my strengths, and areas in that I need to increase strength. Holly personalizes every training session to meet my needs. I am involved with youth in a non-profit and work in small-scale construction at other times. Holly’s equipment and her training design fill both needs to keep me energetic, positive, at my best, and able to tackle life’s challenges.
Holly inspires her clients with messages for our souls as well as our bodies. I truly appreciate Holly’s support.

Holly’s Lake Effects is IDEAL for personal training and small group fitness classes (primarily CrossFit & yoga). Holly’s warm and inviting personality matches her training space. Paired with her 30+ years of fitness experience and the wide variety of training equipment, her lakefront gym truly feels like a wellness retreat. It’s an added benefit to be able to train on her lake and in her beautiful neighborhood, too. Holly loves the outdoors and expands her gym space to include the fresh air, water, and sunshine whenever practical. Plus, dog lovers will delight in seeing her 3 adorable and friendly little pups whenever they train at her gym. She also often adds fun extras like social events, competitions, and food challenges to keep us engaged and stretch our goals. Holly has opened her home and her heart to all who know and train with her. Holly’s friendship and her Lake Effects training space are a blessing in our lives.
