About Us

In April 2017, Dan, Jeff, Bri, and Taylor founded SkanStrength as a personal training studio. Since then, we've grown into a multi-faceted sports, play, healing, and fitness facility serving individuals from childhood through their entire lifespan.

The challenges of COVID-19 prompted us to rethink our approach. We took a critical look at our community's needs, leading to an expansion of our services and a renewed focus on accessibility and flexibility.

Today, SkanStrength offers:



• Specialized fitness programs
• Healing and recovery services, including chiropractic care and acupuncture
• A diverse array of sports activities, from soccer and basketball to flag football and lacrosse
• Our Neighborhood Games and Activities initiative, bringing play back to Skaneateles

This initiative provides flexible, engaging options for all ages, whether it's pick-up basketball games, casual soccer matches, or organized capture the flag events.

SkanStrength has evolved into more than just a fitness facility. We're a hub for health, wellness, and community building. Our mission remains constant: to empower individuals to lead healthier, more active lives and to strengthen the bonds that make Skaneateles special.

Join us on this journey. Whether you're looking to improve your fitness, recover from an injury, participate in organized sports, or simply find new ways to play and connect with your neighbors, SkanStrength is here for you. Together, let's build a healthier, more vibrant Skaneateles through fitness, wellness, and community engagement.

I've been going to Skan Strength for over 2 years now. My overall health has improved dramatically. The variety of exercises Jeff takes us through keep the visits interesting. The camaraderie of the others that join us in the morning is a big bonus. It all makes exercising fun ... believe it or not.

My overall strength is strong and getting stronger and my balance is improving as well as cognitively I feel a difference. I love the overall atmosphere where you see some wonderful people I know and where I meet new faces.

I was welcomed into a community of caring and committed wellness professionals that customized a dynamic fitness program to help me heal and help me to age well. This is a life enhancing place where all are welcome. Fun and caring as we “stay as strong as we can for as long as we can”.

So my children have been attending Skan strength and fitness for just about a year… the environment programs and hands on approach from the physical trainers/ owners is amazing. They really put your/ your child’s needs first. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone starting for themselves or their student athletes.

My 11 year old son attends the after school program 2 days per week with Dan and Nate. He loves it and we are so thrilled to bring him to this great family run gym. Dan and his team are kind and encouraging- it’s what you hope it would be. The facility is large, clean and most importantly safe. My son has grown in strength and confidence and I would highly recommend this very positive and motivating experience for all tweens and beyond.

I love the skan strength family. Family owned and such great trainers, chiropractors. The facility is beautiful. I’ve been working with Taylor for years, it’s been wonderful 🫶🏼

Can’t say enough great things about Skan Strength. I’ve been working with Taylor for 6 years already. She listens to me, adjusts when I need it and always has my best interest at heart. Love them! 100% recommend.

This is the best place to strength train! Jeff, Dan and Taylor are all amazing strength trainers and really awesome people! This gym is a positive and welcoming environment that is for all different fitness levels and abilities. I have learned so much about lifting here and couldn’t imagine training anywhere else!

My son has been to a few gyms in the Auburn/Skaneateles area, but absolutely loves SkanStrength. He is impressed with how the trainers have tailored a program to meet his needs and the individual attention they have given him. He highly recommends this gym.
