Founded in Greensboro, NC, PurEnergy Fitness has been the Triad's trusted home for personal training since 1996. We're small enough to know you by name, skilled enough to coach you at any level, and experienced enough to meet you in whatever season of life you're in.
Wellness here isn't a trend - it's an active process of becoming aware and making choices toward a more successful existence. We teach mindful strength training: that present-moment space where the world disappears, one rep at a time.
Our foundation is the 1-2-3 Balanced Approach:
1 day to plan and execute nutrition.
2 days of strength training.
3 days of cardio.
That weekly rhythm connects to our yearly periodization model — Stronger → Healthier → Better → Maintain — designed to help you progress, recover, and perform at your best all year long.
We see fitness as a ritual of empowerment. Most of our members could train on their own- they choose to stay for the coaching, accountability, and community that keep them consistent and inspired.
This is the right-size gym. Real coaches. Real results. Every season of life.
Founded three decades ago, PurEnergy Fitness has been a cornerstone in the Greensboro community, built on a foundation of trust and legacy from the very beginning. At the heart of this legacy stands Julie Luther, a trailblazer for small businesses and female entrepreneurs alike. Julie’s journey began by working in the fitness industry as an instructor and trainer all the way back to the 70s. With time and experience she began corporate wellness programming in the community and hosting a local fitness television show in the 90s, where she showcased her passion for fitness and well-being. In 1994, she introduced the first Spinning studio in Greensboro, firmly establishing herself as a leader in the fitness industry.
With her relentless drive and motivation, Julie inspired and supported clients of all ages, encouraging them to embark on their wellness journey. In 1996, she realized her dream of opening her very own gym and training studio, and PurEnergy Fitness was born. As the longest independently owned and operated fitness center in the Triad, the legacy that Julie instilled continues to flow through the company’s DNA to this day.
In 2021, Julie’s son, Blaze Thompson, took up the mantle as the current Owner and Coach of PurEnergy Fitness. Blaze, a “Child of Fitness,” grew up immersed in the world of wellness, and his over twenty years of experience in the fitness industry is a testament to his dedication. Having trained with professional sports teams and athletes from NASCAR, Arena Football, NFL, NBA, as well as individuals of all ages, including seniors, Blaze’s expertise is unmatched.
The team of coaches at PurEnergy shares a passionate commitment to fitness and wellness. They strive to build strong foundations with their clients, fostering trust, and empowering personal growth, both within and outside the gym. Whether someone is new to exercise or seeking specialized guidance from a trainer, PurEnergy Fitness offers a welcoming and nurturing environment.
The vision for the future of PurEnergy Fitness is clear: to be a place where coaches and clientele alike can cultivate a strong foundation that empowers them to flourish in all aspects of life. The gym’s aim is to instill the lessons and values of fitness, transfusing empowerment and growth one rep at a time. PurEnergy Fitness continues to serve the Greensboro community, staying true to its legacy while embracing new possibilities for a healthier, happier, and stronger future.
