The Pearl Street Gym

It's been a RAINY and SWEATY week of training as summer rolls into fall...

5 AM brought the THUNDER. ⚡⛈️
-
This past Wednesday we kicked things off with one of Steve's weekly mental health talks, followed by circuits to get moving and start the day feeling good.
-
Experience? Fitness level? Doesn't matter. Just show up for yourself and for each other.

That's what Pearl Street is all about 🙌💪

We are excited to be helping educate and inspire individuals looking to enter into the sports medicine or health and wellness space.

Introducing our 2026 UWSP Pre Athletic Training student Makaela Malin.

Makaela will be helping us with marketing, community engagement, and content creation as we share our year 4 plans for growth and servicing the Stevens Point community.

I am a college runner studying Health Science and Wellness and Psychology, with a passion for connecting the two. I came across Pearl Street Gym and I really liked how different your approach to fitness is, especially the way you combine physical training, mental health, and the importance of community.

My favorite gym exercise SQUATS

My least favorite exercise is RDLs

A question we get from people hesitant to try a group strength training workout at Pearl Street Gym is,

"What kind of people workout here, and will I feel out of place?"

At Pearl Street we have 20 somethings all the way to one personal training client that turns 90 in a few weeks.

We have moms, dads, caregivers, widows, working professionals, retirees, and even a few students.

People looking to gain weight, lose weight, get stronger, rehabbing from surgery or injury, and some members that just enjoy moving and training in a group.

We train a variety of people that enjoy seasonal strength and wellness training and realize life long health is better with community.

Message us to try a workout or book your tour and coach chat.

Wednesday workouts and renewing my commitment for the Learn 4 Life reading program for Dolly today.

Dolly is a staple in the 5am gym playlist and often the topic of post workout conversation with any of the amazing things she has done throughout her life.

Today we played nothing but Dolly and Dolly radio all day at the gym.

I am not one to usually have a celebrity role model but Dolly was special. Of the many things she did I was most impressed by the Dolly Imagination library.

Launched in 1995, the first books were only distributed to children living in Sevier County, Tennessee where Dolly grew up. It became such a success that in 2000 a national replication effort was underway.

By 2003, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library had mailed one million books. It would prove to be the first of many millions of books sent to children around the world.

Since then more than 325 million books have gone out, roughly three and a half million every month. In February 2018 she walked into the Great Hall of the Library of Congress carrying the hundred millionth and handed it to the Librarian of Congress.

In honor of her love of reading and literary advocacy I am signing up for another year of volunteering to help 2nd and 3rd graders read in the Stevens Point school system. This is my third year of volunteering in the Learn 4 Life program. I highly recommend it if you love reading and want to help the next generation to find their love as well. In the time of AI and administration book banning/burning this is more important than ever.

If you can't volunteer then I recommend reaching out to a teacher in your friends/family circle and asking if you can donate/buy books for their class. I know they can all use the help.

We gonna keep these kids reading Dolly.

“When they lay me down, I’ll be thinking of the Imagination Library,” - Dolly Parton
