Ritch’s Gym

Ritch’s Gym is a small-town gym on West Fourth Street in downtown Wendell, owned by Josh Ritch, who also runs its personal training program. Members get 24-hour access to the floor, and a barber shop operates inside the building.

Josh coaches clients one-on-one or in pairs, with programs shaped by his years preparing bodybuilders for state and national competition. Beyond training, the gym runs 30-minute rotation classes that move members through stations, and Renee Boeh teaches reformer Pilates. Pricing is posted on the site by the session and by the pack, which is rare for trainers in this area.
