HOW WE GOT OUR START

Having been a personal trainer for seven years, I handed my clients to my husband and stepped away to become a stay at home mom in 1996. By the time our daughter was ready for Kindergarten, I was ready to take on some clients part-time. So we converted our garage into a home gym and the original House of Payne came to fruition in 2001. I moved my training services from our house to a nearby gym but a little more than a year later we made the decision to open our own personal training facility. On October 1st, 2008, House of Payne Personal Training opened their doors in Lilburn, Georgia in what had been the warehouse space for our family owned furniture store. Over time, personal training took over the entire space. Now 16 years, hundreds of lifestyle and bodybuilding clients, numerous workshops, a variety of community outreach programs and now promoting two bodybuilding shows, we continue to be passionate about helping people shape their bodies and we look forward to helping you.

TRAINING PHILOSOPHY

House of Payne Personal Training is the leading personal training facility where you can train with qualified trainers, learn how to make fitness a regular part of your lifestyle and expect to get results. Located in Gwinnett County, owners Rachel Payne and her husband Steve, envision a facility “totally dedicated to helping their clients be their best at any age, for any occasion, for competition, for a better you, for life.”

We assume this task by ensuring clients; adults, seniors, sports athletes, bikini, figure, physique and bodybuilding competitors, or just the average person who wants to be in shape, receive a specialized exercise plan developed to meet individual needs and help you change your life. “We will strive to help our clients become stronger, faster, leaner, and healthier than you can imagine. We will lead by example and be there to train, support, inspire, motivate, and encourage each of our clients on their journey.”

House of Payne Personal Training is located at 4565 Lawrenceville Highway, half way between Indian Trail and Beaver Ruin Roads. The facility encompasses 10,000 square feet of free weights, machines, and conditioning training equipment along with a full size stage for bikini, figure, physique, and bodybuilding, and fitness modeling or preparation for photo shoots.

Our facility is an official training facility for the International Association of Fitness Sciences (IAFS) Personal Training Certification program founded and developed by 8-time Mr. Olympia Lee Haney. Our staff of six trainers has a combined 100+ years of experience. Each trainer specializes in different areas allowing us to have a team approach to training that keeps our objective focused on training each client for the results they desire. “We invest in our clients; take their training to a new level. Educating our clients in all aspects of their training programs enables the client to grow, educating our trainers keeps them up to date on safe and proper training techniques, and reaching out to educate our community brings about an increased awareness of the benefits of health and fitness for everyone!”
