Since 2014
The Annex
The Annex is private gym located inside The Sports Academy in Glen Carbon, IL. We offer strength and conditioning, boot camp classes, personal training, and pregnancy and postpartum training.
When I think of a gym….sweating, people judging me, and quitting because it’s too hard. What I think of the Annex….family, supportive, laughs, and fabulous trainers who push me to be the best that I can be. I have never been discouraged or frustrated at class. All I know is I am stronger, more confident, and have to talk myself out of doing 2 a days!!
We have reopened our doors!
We know that not everyone is ready to get back to the gyms so we are providing FREE At-Home workouts!

We are Here to Help You Succeed!
During all of our class times, our coaches ensure safety, guide you through your workout, and help you to achieve your goals. We have certified personal trainers for one-on-one sessions, boot camps, pregnancy and postpartum athleticism, and nutrition. Also, all of our coaches have experience with children and teenagers.
We welcome all levels of athleticism: from those who do not have any athletic background to the elite athlete. We specialize in helping our members get stronger, more fit and/or more athletic!
