We avoid high impact training that hurts your joints.
We show you what to do, how to do it, and guide you with each movement.
You have nothing to worry about or overthink.

Hi - My name is Matt April!
I’m the owner and founder of Bent On Better in West Chester, PA. We are a family owned and operated personal training fitness club in West Chester PA, but you may have found us just by searching for "gyms near me" in West Chester (which is totally fine, we're glad you stopped by to check us out!). We are a "gym near me" (you) that is all about small group fitness and personal training sessions with a community as the driving force.
If you have ever felt lost in crowded classes, overlooked by the coaches, overworked by high intensity workouts, or just no connection to the community you’ve worked out with in the past… welcome to Bent On Better.
We like keeping it personal, customized, small, and fun. We are an inclusive facility, and we welcome ALL walks of life, no matter your color, creed, gender, race, sexual orientation, or fitness level!
We think of ourselves as the “PRE-hab” approach to fitness and personal training. We take into account your workout history, your past injuries, your problematic pains, and write a full strength training program that makes sense for your goals, your joints, and your lifestyle (so you don't need to spend hours in boot camps with a large group of people doing open access workouts with no true purpose other than to make you sweaty).
We want to avoid those crazy high intensity boot camp workouts that leave you worse off than when you started. And let's be clear, we're NOT Crossfit, although we do love free weights, fitness goals, and helping our clients reach weight loss goals, your membership will not be bundled into a one size fits all format just to fill the gym.
We want to help you move well so you can move often, and make sure you can keep moving to give you a more engaged, fulfilling, and satisfying life. We want to help you regain your strength, feel energized, and feel better.
