Greg Thurin
Training with with Dave Mohr over the past two years has been amazing. People often ask me why I work with a personal trainer and the answer is easy. Dave is passionate about fitness and is a professional in every sense of the word.
Dave Rosa
I was frustrated with previous attempts to get in shape and lower my cholesterol. With back, elbow and knee issues, I could not find a trainer(s) that knew what they were doing. Often, I would start a program only to aggravate a previous injury due to the program I was put on; this was not the case with Dave and Jason.
John Remes
Hpt gives me an edge I could not achieve on my own. Sure the training can be a challenge, but in the end the payoff is fantastic. I recommend this facility over all others especially busy executives.
Steve Porter
My training with Dave has gone very well. I have made significant gains in strength and mobility, and am finally recovering from years of soreness and strain.
Dan Muldowney
I had a total hip replacement. Jason and his team coached me in my rehab and recovery. While the work was hard the process was quick and I was able to recover very quickly. I used crutches for 2 week and a cane for another 3. After that I could walk unassisted.
John Muir
I love the Higher Power Training program. I am going to keep doing it. As soon as I hit my goals, I am going to set new ones. It’s a lifestyle! I love taking my shirt off now! I got over 300 pounds on the bench press! Feeling Good!
Bobbi MrKonich
I heard about HPT from my physical therapist, who was helping me recover from a knee injury. My goal was to recover, build strength, and improve overall conditioning. I have been training at HPT for one year on March 1.
Lewis Miner
Results, results, results. I began training with Jason in April after many years of inactivity due to a skiing accident. Weighing in at 280 pounds and body fat of 27%, Jason successfully created a program that took me to 215 pounds and body fat of 11.9%. At 46 years of age I was in the best shape of my life.
Tom Ibach
I’ve really enjoyed working with Dave at Higher Power Training. For years I’d sporadically weight-trained with little understanding of how it should be done. Dave is teaching me how to train safely and effectively.
Alli Hicks

Sandy Graves
I was looking to relearn healthy eating habits. The HPT nutrition plan does exactly that – it teaches you to eat the right foods in the right proportions at the right times.
Steve Kumagai
Dave Mohr and Boot Camp have kept my back and core muscles strong enough to help me be injury free through 50 round golf seasons and 35 day ski seasons. Jason’s nutrition coaching helps me manage blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels when I start to lose my discipline.
Steve Porter
I have made significant gains in strength and mobility, and am finally recovering from years of soreness and strain. Mostly because I was stuck in the mud using certain routines and putting way to much stress on my joints.
Tom Meschke D.D.S
I think it is important to get the message out to other Dentists like myself or anyone who suffers from poor posture at work that there is help and hope.
Ken Kadash
I feel great and enjoy eating better. Since I last weighed with you on December 4th I have weighed myself every day. I have dropped below 185 twice and have stayed below 190 despite some big exception days (that time of year).
Chelsey Naab
My advice to you – If you are not feeling well, mentally or physically, please do yourself a favor and reach out to Higher Power Training.
Natalie Herrild
I had recently been diagnosed with Scheuermann’s Disease (curvature and small fractures of the spine) and was struggling with daily pain as well as the pain while training in the pool. Jason created a program that not only made me stronger physically and in the water, but took the pain away as well.
Mike Nyberg
The strength training and nutritional programs you devised worked like a charm. My transformation during the process was amazing.
Louis Boney
When we first began training in 2003, I found myself unaware of the potential I possessed. Locating a deficiency in self-esteem, accountability, and work ethic, our training together soon opened a window of opportunity for self improvement.
Jon R Foust
I was introduced to Higher Power by my son’s Physical Therapist during his rehab from a back injury. After watching the trainers work with my son and seeing their expertise/knowledge, I decided to jump start my fitness by working out 1-2 days a week with one of the staff.
Jeff Cowan
HPT trainers are extremely knowledgeable about both fitness and nutrition. They customize workouts and nutrition to help employees on an individual basis.
Jake Remes
The HPT staff has been fantastic over the years. They helped me evolve from the freshman “B” football team, to a varsity captain, and now to a college football player. My success was due to their determination to not only make me stronger but also a healthier person overall.
Drew Bignall
I came to Jason entering my senior year at Breck School looking to increase my strength and athletic ability. Knowing that I wanted to play baseball in college, I needed to change myself into a collegiate athlete.
Jeff Prouty
I thoroughly enjoy my workouts with Jason and his Higher Power Training team. M, T, W, Th @ 5:30 p.m. They push me, challenge me, inspire me. And there’s nothing better than one of their “closers” to keep you mentally and physically fit!!!
Jason Pierce
I started out 30 pounds heavier, and lost 30 pounds of fat while gaining 4 pounds of muscle in just 9 weeks! I can’t describe the difference in terms of how much more energy I have.
Markus Darcy
I have never felt this good before! I hit my goal, and now I am going to go lower. I would recommend Higher Power Training to anyone!

Jessica (Mumbles)2024-02-17My friend has been traing here with Dave for over 10 years and he has never been so happy and stronger because of his weekly appt.Ashley C2023-08-04Stopped here to train while I was traveling through for business. Really great gym with all equipment you would want as a power lifter. It was easy to pay for a day pass (this it was $15) and stay on program.Christopher Baldridge2023-03-04For years I’ve battled with back pain and injury. Recently, I “threw my back out” once again. Instead of searching out more of the passive therapies such as massage, chiropractic, acupuncture, etc, I decided to try getting stronger instead. My trainer, Alex Nash, understood my needs and how to push me without irritating my back or causing more pain. He used unique variations on old exercises as well as teaching me a bunch of new techniques I didn’t know. My goal was to be able to live pain free, pick my kids up off the floor, and train jiu jitsu again. Alex took me from having persistent pain and struggling to do the things I love all the way to being pain free and stronger than I was before, all within about 2 months and 15 personal training sessions. Even though I feel great, I am continuing to train with Alex because I see the cost of personal training as the cost of having a high quality of life. Training at Higher Power isn’t fitness, it’s healthcare, and Alex is the doctor that is helping me live well. I’m impressed with the staff, the facilities, and the training at Higher Power and I would recommend their personal training programs to anyone looking to truly enhance their physical well-being or achieve specific athletic or fitness goals.Rebecca Salinas2023-02-23Higher power is the best place to workout. I’ve been working out there for years then took time off during covid. I just started doing the detox program again and have Lost 8 pounds and Now am going to do the nutrition with Jason. He’s So knowledgeable. I workout with pong! He’s The best trainer I’ve Ever had. He pushes me so hard! I highly recommend them so much! It’s the best gym ever . Try them out you won’t be sorry!Debbie Von Spreecken2022-07-30A 10-year struggle with weight began to affect my health and mental well-being. Trying to cut through all of the noise about weight loss, nutrition, and supplements was zapping my energy and no matter which “expert” advice I followed, I didn’t lose weight and continued to gain belly fat. Then my path led me to Jason at HPT. I followed the 21-day detox program that rebooted my system, and then began following a nutrition program that Jason adjusts based on how my body reacts to dietary changes. My journey toward better health and a leaner body has required focus and commitment but it’s been worth it. My successful loss of over 35 pounds of fat proves that Jason’s understanding of nutrition and his individualized nutrition plan for me works. I finally have hope that I will achieve my goals of having a stronger, leaner, and healthier body.Gretchen Bennett2020-06-26Its is always so much fun coming in. Everyone is always so friendly and welcoming! Since working with Jason, he has helped me through a phase in my life where I was stuck. I couldn't lose weight, I wasn't toning up like I should with the amount of exercise I was putting in. Turns out my diet was not as healthy as I thought it was and Jason helped me not only accomplish some of my goals...but absolutely crush them! I cannot recommend him enough...his knowledge is unbelievable and he can tweak things just for you so it just melts off. Plus, I have energy through the roof, I understand what I should be putting in my body to fuel it and more importantly I feel SO amazing! Thanks Jason and I look forward to continue to crush some more goals!Nick Guggemos2017-08-22Higher Power Training is an excellent training facility with high minded and enthusiastic trainers that are motivated to get you the results you want. As a college wide receiver, they double the strength in my legs in just over a month of hard work and every day was enjoyable because they were so friendly and positive towards me. I would recommend 10 out 10 times to anybody looking to get into a better shape and reach maximum results!Karen Brown2017-08-03Exceptional, knowledgeable & motivating! I've been working out with the trainers at Higher Power Training for over a decade. The staff there is very knowledgable and encouraging. Jason, the owner, really knows his stuff. I have several injuries, and he is very good at knowing how to adapt the exercises/weights to not aggravate my injuries, and in fact to coax my injuries along to actually get better over time. His other trainers are also excellent. If you talk with Jason, he is good at suggesting which trainer would be a good fit for you. Higher Power Training also has a 10 day and 3 week detox program that I've done a few times and, with the trainer's encouragement, have been able to successfully complete -- resulting in lost body fat, lost pounds, and feeling better overall. I live in Saint Paul, and I drive there to train there - that is how good this place is!Jill Bjornaraa Rose2017-05-09HPT is one of the best training facilities in the state! It is one of few that implements mind body , nutrition, and physical wellness! It's the best! Jason, Dave and his team has knowledge you just can't find anywhere else! The boot camps are quick and efficient while providing an amazing workout ! The detox is a way to reset your body and get you back on track losing on average 10-20 lbs ! They keep you accountable unlike no other! Whether it's personal training, nutrition, or boot camp they will set you up for success!Clayton Witherspoon2017-03-07Higher Power is the best. As a football player Higher Power is one of, if not the best gym that I have ever been to. They have a perfect environment and size, making it a fun workout regardless of what time of the day you come in. Along with an awesome and uplifting environment, Higher Power has the best group of trainers out there. All in all, I could not recommend Higher Power enough, best gym in the Twin Cities!Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 100 reviews
