Our Story
We are a family-owned and family-run gym and we LOVE what we do! Founders Max and Jill Lipset started The Power House in 2013, with the goal of creating a space for other families to become their healthiest and best selves. We offer a comprehensive set of services to fit the unique needs of our clients and provide science-based fitness programs that are fun and yield results. Everyone is welcome at The Power House and we love watching our fitness family grow!
Mission & Vision
The mission of The Power House is to provide challenging and results-based fitness services to people of all ages and abilities, to collaborate with outside organizations on their wellness and performance needs, and to create an environment within our facilities that supports the holistic health development of each athlete.
Our vision is threefold. First, to develop the fitness industry’s best 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 concept 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. To accomplish this takes a team, so our ability to work together under a unified vision and mission is at the core of who we are as a company.
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: As Coaches and community members, 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, ease the way for those ahead and behind us on the path, 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. In order to focus our efforts and maximize our impact, we have three core causes that are deeply meaningful to our company. First, expanding the roles and voices of women and girls in sport. Second, environmental sustainability and the preservation of natural spaces. Third, cancer research, specifically for pancreatic cancer. We thank and appreciate our community for supporting these causes when we create opportunities to do so! We are always happy to support local schools and organizations with silent auction items. Please email jill.lipset@tphmn.com to inquire about donations.
