Our Story
We are a family-owned gym run by a close-knit team who LOVES what we do! Founders Max and Jill Lipset started The Power House in 2013, with the goal of creating a space for others to become their healthiest and best selves and allow exceptional coaches to forge a career in the industry. Everyone has a place at The Power House and we love watching our fitness family grow!
Mission & Vision
The mission of The Power House is to provide results-based fitness services to people of all ages, abilities, and walks of life and to collaborate with outside organizations on their wellness and performance needs.
Our vision is threefold. First, to develop the fitness industry’s best career coaches. Second, to improve health on a population level and lead the shift in healthcare from sickness to wellness. Third, to build a dedicated and inclusive community that dares greatly in becoming the champions of their lives.
Values
Kaizen: A Japanese term meaning “constant improvement,” kaizen invokes a consistent and humble approach to health, fitness, and personal development that reaps long-lasting rewards across the lifespan.
Community-based, Team-driven: People and movement are our religion. Our commitment to create genuine connections between humans, safe spaces to suffer and succeed together, and deliver world-class fitness programs is what gets us out of bed in the morning.
Customization: We believe in meeting our athletes where they are at. Health is not a ‘one size fits all’ mold, so we intentionally invest in a diverse set of practices, tools, and coaching approaches to best serve each individual or organization we work with.
Clear the Path: We pave the way for others to succeed by supporting and guiding each person on their unique journey towards self-actualization. In clearing the path, we remove barriers to success and develop a culture which celebrates the triumphs of others as much or more than the victories of oneself.
Daring Leadership: Daring leadership means challenging and taking ownership of our thoughts, words, and actions. As daring leaders, we rumble with vulnerability, create trusting relationships within all levels of our company, learn to rise together when we fall, and collectively live into our values every.single.day.
Causes
In alignment with our values, vision, and mission, The Power House regularly pursues opportunities to support nonprofits and philanthropic causes that benefit society and the world we inhabit. We specifically aim to contribute to the inclusion of diverse voices and representation in the wellness industry, expanding the roles of women and girls in sport, and fundraising for cancer research (specifically for pancreatic cancer). We are proud to regularly volunteer as a staff and community with The Sanneh Foundation and support their aligned mission. We are always happy to support local schools and organizations with silent auction items. Please email jill.lipset@tphmn.com to inquire about donations.
