Davidson Strength and Fitness is a community focused gym for the whole family. Classes start as young as age 3 and go from there. We offer strength training, functional fitness, active stretching, and regular specialty seminars and clinics. We put an emphasis on safety and form in all that we do and look at the gym space as a place of empowerment for everyone and anyone.

We welcome folks of all abilities, identities, and stages of fitness. No matter where you are in life, we can help keep you fit and having fun. Regular community events and gym socials help members connect and build friendships outside the gym. These relationships build accountability. It is our goal to help folks for every step of their journey.

Sam Higgins is the owner and Head Coach of Davidson Strength and Fitness. Her fitness journey began nearly a decade ago as a way to reclaim her mental health, and what started as a personal effort soon became a lifelong passion. Within months, she earned multiple certifications and found her purpose in helping others do the same. Sam credits fitness for restoring both her physical and mental well-being and is deeply committed to building an inclusive and empowering community for everyone. She has a special love for coaching kids’ classes, often calling them “the best 90 minutes of the week.” Outside the gym, Sam enjoys fantasy romance novels, tattoos, and the company of her black cats.
