TESTIMONIALS

Adam Dickens (High School Dean of Students)

It became evident after meeting with a few companies that DYNAMIC was head and shoulders above the competition. Steve Gortmaker was our sales representative, and he was a part of the process every step of the way. The very first meeting we had with him; he drove in from out of state to make sure we had a face-to-face interaction with him. Once in the meeting, Steve reiterated the importance of doing what was right for the school and for our athletes, not what was best for his compensation. He never pushed us to buy equipment we didn’t want and always looked for the best deal. He was available to us whenever we had questions and anytime we needed to change part of the order. It was also very reassuring to us that Steve was an experienced college strength coach, he was an expert with the equipment he was selling. DYNAMIC delivered the equipment within the window they promised and sent a crew to set it up. We received our equipment in March of 2024 after placing our final order in late December of 2023. The crew was professional and finished the installation in one day even though they quoted us for 2-3 days. Steve came back to our school after installation to ensure everything was to our standards and to the DYNAMIC standards, and it was. We were incredibly pleased with our experience with Dynamic, and we will certainly be using them for any future purchases.

I wanted to express my deepest appreciation for Dynamic Fitness and Coach Steve Gortmaker for their incredible support throughout the process of building our new weight room in the Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium. Since the spring of 2024, when I first reached out to your company, Steve has been outstanding in helping bring our vision to life. He was responsive at all hours, even early mornings while we were running 6 a.m. conditioning sessions over the summer. What stood out most was his dedication and willingness to travel, not only from Tallahassee but also to various projects along the way, making multiple trips to Spartanburg and Wofford College. Beyond the professional side, Steve took the time to offer advice and guidance to me as a young strength and conditioning coach, something I value greatly. He is truly one of a kind, and you all have an exceptional representative in him. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed the new space and are already seeing the positive impact it’s having on our teams. On behalf of Men’s and Women’s Basketball, Volleyball, and Lacrosse, I can definitely say that we’re thrilled to continue using this facility as we work to get better and compete for championships. Thank you again for your partnership and support.

Mike Hazel (Coach)

Working with Steve Gortmaker and the team at Dynamic Fitness & Strength has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. We’ve partnered with them on two separate rooms and projects, and both times the results have exceeded expectations. Over a two-year process filled with changes, adjustments, and new ideas, Steve and the Dynamic team demonstrated exceptional patience and professionalism. They never rushed a single step, ensuring every detail aligned perfectly with the vision for our program. When it came time for installation, the crew completed the full build-out in just one day — efficient, organized, and precise. Both rooms turned out exactly as we had hoped, and the quality of the equipment and craftsmanship speaks for itself. Steve was hands-on throughout the entire installation process, making sure everything was flawless. What truly sets Dynamic apart is their continued commitment long after the install is complete. Steve still checks in regularly to ensure everything is working smoothly and has personally assisted with updates and adjustments when needed. Even their VP of Performance Education visits two to three times a year to connect and make sure we’re fully supported. Dynamic Fitness & Strength delivers elite-level equipment backed by people who genuinely care about their clients. After two successful projects, I can say with complete confidence that they’ve earned my full trust and highest recommendation.

Bobby Hayes CSCS (Head Strength & Conditioning Coach)

"After visiting several schools that currently have Dynamic products on their campus it was clear that the quality of their product is second to none. The customer service we have received from Steve, and they whole Dynamic team, throughout the entire process is head and shoulders above what any of their competition has been able to provide. The turnaround time on pricing, artistic renderings and anything else we have needed has been done in a quick and timely manner. Their ability to customize their racks and storage options to fit our needs is what really made them stand out to us. It was clear to us that Dynamic wanted to be a part of our project and after considering their quote for equipment, installation and the warranty they provide it was an easy choice for use to accept their bid and move forward with our project. In addition to their stellar customer service, Dynamic has provided us with referrals to graphics and flooring companies who we have decided to bring on board for our project as well. Honestly, I can not say enough good things about my experience with Dynamic Fitness so far in our project."

Brady Colins (Director of Football Strength and Conditioning)

"The reason we went with Dynamic was relationships, the relationship aspect of it was huge. Just the functionality and getting up there visiting the site and working with all their great people meeting all their great people. I'm a big fan of things being built in this state! For our guys the design process was very fast, one of the fastest I've ever seen in my life, probably ever heard of. That's probably one of the biggest things that I'm most thankful and proud to be part of with Dynamic on is how much they put forth to get this done for our guys in such a short amount of time."

William Watson (Director of Activities and Community Education)

“When we were looking for our new equipment in our new weight room and space, I traveled all over. I looked at 39 separate facilities and looked at all the differences when it came to different equipment companies. We traveled up to the Dynamic plant and saw exactly how they manufactured everything and we knew this was going to make a major difference when it came to the equipment as far as the customization, the branding, and everything we were looking for when it came to the equipment itself. It truly allowed us to make this weight room exactly what we wanted it to be.”

James Kilian (Head Football Coach, St. Olaf College)

“When I first got here I had an opportunity to upgrade our weight room, and we were looking to maximize the space that we have. We wanted to work with a first class organization and an industry leader, so it was a natural fit for us to work with Dynamic. Our sales rep Todd Strop was a wonderful person to work with. What we had before we got our new equipment from Dynamic was functional, but it wasn’t the BEST. Now our student athletes have a chance to come into a facility that has the absolute best equipment and feel the branding, the St. Olaf Shield. What this new weight room represents is the fact that we are trying to do the very best for our students here at St. Olaf College.”

Tony Decker (Director of Speed Strength & Conditioning Coach)

“It’s been a great experience for me working with Dynamic through the entire process ... Dynamic’s been tremendous. I know our coaches and athletes feel the same. And with the new layout that Dynamic came up with, it opened up the middle of the room where the coaching is done and visibility is clear on both sides. There are no obstructions, and from a safety standpoint, a teaching and a coaching standpoint, that certainly does fit into our philosophy. Working with Dynamic has been truly a blessing. It’s been a great experience. They’ve been professional, and the quality of the equipment has been above and beyond."

Will Wright (Sports Performance Director)

“The touches Dynamic was able to put on our equipment to make it specific to our population really has just made a huge impact for our kids. We have wider benches which helps them with support. They put specific mounting brackets on there for us to increase support with the belt system we use. They made a pair of power lifting benches for our athletes which has been really beneficial on bench press and some other movements. Everything that they supplied for our weight room is just really top notch. Whether it’s at the high school, collegiate level or professional…, I would absolutely recommend Dynamic Fitness and Strength. They’ve done a phenomenal job outfitting our room. The customer service has been top notch. The people that work there are phenomenal.”

“About 6 months ago, we had a vision of just completely gutting our weight room and our locker room. It turned out even better than I could ever imagine.”

“Our old weight room at Stillwater High School wasn’t built for that purpose; it was originally a storage room [with] no windows and extremely crowded. Our new weight room we planned to be very efficient, with a lot more space, and a lot more ability to move around and do many different things for a wide variety of sports. Everything that Dynamic has done for us created a space that works not just for the athletes, but for any [other] students in the high school as well. I loved introducing the new weight room and the new equipment to the students, staff and community members that have come in. The excitement and energy are very high!"

Stephanie Devos (Athletic Director)

“Working with Dynamic has really been a positive experience. I feel that from start to finish we have accomplished one of the best facilities in this region. It meets the needs of all of our students at this high school no matter what ability level, and our phys Ed classes, our special education classes and our extra-curricular activities—everyone has an opportunity to get in and experience this wonderful facility because of this partnership."

Mike Alexander (Head Football Coach and Boys Athletic Coordinator)

“The product that we received is second to none and the fact that we could brand it the way we wanted to and personalize it—it just adds an element of pride that you don’t get from competitors. Working with Dynamic has been just an incredible experience. I never thought that there would be that much of a difference between what we had before and what we have now. I’d highly recommend Dynamic to anybody looking to upgrade their weight room."

Mark Feldner (Strength and Conditioning Coach)

“I really liked working with Dynamic throughout the process of building the weight room. They really work with you to make sure that they can customize whatever you need customized to fit your needs, whether it be the spacing of racks, storage solutions, placement of different things, or even fundraising options where they can customize our racks and be able to put nameplates and things and things like that wherever we need.”

Brian Matz (Athletic Director)

“They were there every step of the way with all of their different people ... We're very proud that there is no equipment like this anywhere ... not only from the graphics to the the colors, but our racks and our equipment are the first of a kind. The fact that they were absolutely willing to do all of those things and explore all of those possibilities and then come up with what we exactly wanted was something that I've never experienced before in terms of customer service."
