Welcome to Rx Strength

Rx Strength is a cozy, fully equipped gym located in the Finishing Touch Plaza in Wichita Falls, Texas. We are a personal fitness training studio and have been around for nearly 10 years. Some say it is one of those best kept Wichita Falls secrets. We do personal fitness training and sport massage. We also offer in-house chiropractic care by Dr. Ellen Masman.

Rx Strength was the dream of Carla Nichols, a top honor graduate from our own Midwestern State University in 2000. While interning at the Family YMCA and working as a physical therapy assistant at Clinics of North Texas and earning her BS in Kinesiology, Carla learned that for many people the biggest hurdle to obtaining personal fitness is feeling comfortable and safe walking through the door of most gyms. Let’s face it… it is intimidating! Especially if you’re out of shape. Carla understands this and is very protective of the atmosphere of Rx. She hires well educated and credentialed personal trainers with superior people skills. She makes sure they have the personality that is encouraging and motivational to all people that come to Rx.

We train athletes, non-athletes, older folks, young children, people who have injuries or weight problems. We help in rehab after the physical therapy is finished, we help people prepare for surgery. It just stands to reason that you would want to be in the best shape possible before you had an “elected injury” like surgery, so that you could bounce back quicker. We help athletes prepare for competition in all kinds of sports.

Our goal is to help each person become stronger and healthier inside and out. As we grow older we realize that the true wealth is our health. You can have all the money in the world but if you don’t feel good enough to go, and do, and enjoy it, it means nothing.
