Nestled in the heart of Stayton, Oregon, Vault Fitness is more than just a gym, it’s a thriving hub of health, strength, and community spirit. This location in downtown Stayton has been a gym for 22 years, but over the last three years, Vault Fitness has become a cornerstone for local fitness enthusiasts. Under the passionate leadership of Jenn & Jerod Clevenger, the gym has experienced a remarkable transformation.
When the Clevenger’s took ownership, Vault Fitness had just 89 members. Today, it proudly serves nearly 1,000 members, with an average of 240 people walking through its doors daily. This explosive growth is a testament to the couple’s dedication, vision, and deep roots in both fitness and community service. They say the largest number of referrals come from word of mouth around the community.
