Why Nutriformance?

October 15, 2026

Welcome to NutriFormance where every BODY matters and we strive to know all our clients by name as well as understand why they chose NF to pursue their fitness goals. We hope to over-deliver in making NutriFormance like a second home, a fun environment that is also focused and dedicated to our clientele’s success.

We aren’t chasing members just to hit a number. We are pursuing clients who fit what we do, who appreciate a team of advanced professionals and a community that is much like an extended family. We are far from a red-tape-laden big box gym that only wants your membership dollars and doesn’t care about you as an individual. We prove this every day because we allow prospective clients to try us risk-free with a complimentary 7-day trial. In addition, every membership we offer is month-to-month so if we ever disappoint you, you aren’t bound to a long-term membership. Lastly, every program we offer can be purchased without a gym membership- so if you only want to see a physical therapist, get a massage, or visit a registered dietitian all of these services can be a la’ carte.

Stop in any time or email us to schedule a complimentary consultation. We would love to visit and learn more about your fitness and performance training goals. We can start the 7-day trial, schedule you with a trainer, massage therapist, Pilates instructor, or physical therapist. Our niches include: active aging, body composition changes, corrective exercise and therapeutic massage for injury, illness, or return to play, and performance enhancement for sport and active living.

Sincerely,

Dale & Ellie Huff

Established March 1997

NutriFormance- Fitness, Therapy and Performance was founded on the principles of functional exercise programming coupled with realistic, achievable nutrition coaching. In March of 1997, Dale and Ellie Huff launched NF- Dale bringing the experience as a personal trainer and Ellie bringing the passion for nutrition education, cooking and fitness. Their model grew quickly and received national recognition from Men’s Health Magazine, Shape Magazine, Prevention, The New York Times, Muscle and Fitness, and Red Book just to name a few.

NutriFormance outgrew its space and in-home personal training/nutrition coaching model and launched two fitness centers. The first in 2000 opened in the Clayton on the Park and at the time was a state of the art, boutique 5000 square foot training facility. The very next year they followed their instincts and took over another fitness center located in Frontenac, Missouri. Frontenac quickly became their main location. They grew to offer many services in addition to personal training and nutrition coaching including massage therapy, Pilates, Physical Therapy, group fitness classes and membership. Their desire to help their clients reach their performance goals, aesthetic goals and recover from injuries or illness helped them launch these new services.

In 2008 NutriFormance brought the top sports performance program to St. Louis, Athletic Republic. Blending our knowledge of functional training, rehab and nutrition with this sports performance training program has given us the ability to help many student-athletes improve their speed, agility, and strength.

While accolades and cool spaces are nice to mention, NutriFormance was truly built by a passionate team of professionals dedicated to their amazing clients. We are a large family that care about each other. Many lifelong friendships have been forged inside our walls including a group that took classes together on Sunday mornings that still meet via Zoom because some are unable to continue. Many former co-workers stay in touch and stop by to see how everyone is doing and to visit with their former clients and co-workers.

Yes, we proceed the internet, mobile phones and social media, but our experience and tenure in the industry are coupled with continued learning and a desire to do better for our clients every day keeps us on the cutting edge of fitness, wellness, and performance. Some people describe us as being like “Cheers”- where everybody knows your name. We have also been called the “Fountain of Youth” as so many of our long-term clients are still able to do the things they love. Our clientele ranges from 10-year-old up into their 100s with the commonalities of wanting to improve their performance (sport or life), recover from an orthopedic challenge and change their body composition.

We are locally owned with on-sight ownership most days. We thrive on being part of our community. If we sound like the place for you, email Dale Huff, CSCS at daleh@nutriformance.com

EveryBODY is an Athlete.
EveryBODY Counts.

Sincerely,

Dale & Ellie Huff

  I joined Nutriformance two months ago and absolutely love it!  I enjoy the small group strength training and Pilates classes.  There is a unique feeling to this training center as opposed to big box fitness clubs.  The owners, Ellie and Dale, are on-site daily, including Holidays, and the staff have worked here for 15-20 years in many cases.  I’ve almost been particularly impressed by how clean the gym is and how all equipment is wiped down after each class.  I highly recommend Nutriformance to anyone looking to get in better shape in 2026!

  Excellent facility, classes and training. Randy L. , my trainer, is very professional, knows a lot about muscles and function, and is great at rehabbing a recent knee replacement trainee.  He is always prepared with a new training routine that evidences  a thoughtful, person-specific approach to training. All-around terrific experience .

  I’ve been training at Nutriformance for just about four months, and it’s truly been a game changer. The culture here is unlike anything I’ve experienced—motivated and focused, yet incredibly welcoming and comfortable. From the start, Dale and Ellie, along with the entire team, made me feel like part of the community. They learn your name quickly, remember the little things, and create an atmosphere that’s both supportive and inspiring. The facility itself is outstanding, with a huge variety of high-quality equipment that supports every type of training. Whether you're working on strength, mobility, or recovery, there’s always exactly what you need—and it’s all extremely well-maintained. I’ve had the pleasure of training with Riley Flynn, and I can’t recommend him enough. His knowledge and approach are next-level. The exercises we’ve done are completely new to me, and I’ve already seen a noticeable improvement in how I move and feel. He brings a thoughtful, hands-on approach to every session and always keeps things engaging. It’s clear he really cares about his clients' progress, and that makes all the difference.

  I’ve had a personal trainer at Nutriformance for about 25 years. Libby Fennewald is my current trainer and she is excellent. Not only is she keeping me physically fit, she’s helping me be sharper mentally. I truly enjoy my workouts!

  They are all about a human-forward, hands on approach to fitness. The smaller gym size allows for more personal attention and less of that “big box” gym feel. Lots of variety in the services too!

  I have gone to Nutriformance for over two years and can confidently say that it is one of the best gyms in St. Louis. It has all the equipment you could ask for in a clean and well designed space. It also has locker rooms complete with anything you would need. Let's be honest though, most gyms will have what you would need for whatever your fitness goals are, so why pick Nutriformance? The answer to that is simple. Unlike larger, national gyms, Nutriformace has a welcoming and encouraging community of both patrons and staff members that lead to a stellar experience. This is what makes the gym particularly unique. Not a day goes by where I am not discussing the latest book or movie I watched with a fellow gym goer or am joking with a trainer and the gym's owners (who, along with the trainers, have a wealth of great fitness advice). Whatever your goals are, Nutriformance provides all the resources as well as a great community of people united together by their love of fitness. That, in my opinion, is what makes Nutriformance so great.

  I am so happy I know this place is here now! I booked a massage with Alexis, I had been in need of one desperately from working at home in the wrong chair for the past few months. She was so kind and intuitive and really knew the exact areas to address. I feel like a new person now, one of the best massages I have ever had! I didn't know they offer pilates here as well and the studio is gorgeous. The atmosphere was great and very clean. I will definitely be back soon!

  Nutriformance has continued it's top-notch service during this pandemic. It's such a clean and safe environment. I go weekly for physical therapy, with DPT Jaclyn Stoerzbach. I had chronic hip pain, which she has solved and has helped me achieve a more balanced body. I love her dry-needling offerings and the fact that she can walk me through exercises in Nutriformance's huge and beautiful gym.
