Plaza Fitness is not a flash in the pan gym. Our roots run deep. Dave and Sean first opened these doors back in 1991. In those early days, the ownership bounced back and forth a bit. Sean bought Dave out, and then Dave bought Sean out. Through it all, the soul of the gym never changed. It was always about putting in the work.

​

Our owner, Pam, joined the Plaza family in 2007 to train with Sean. They actually still train together today. Over the last 18 years, they have somehow managed not to kill each other, although anyone around them will admit it was close a couple of times.

​

Eventually, Dave and Pam teamed up to run Plaza together. They ran the gym side by side until his passing in 2016. Dave fought an absolute badass four year battle against stage 4 terminal cancer. Anyone who was lucky enough to watch him during those years witnessed exactly what a true warrior looks like. Today, the gym as a whole stands as a daily tribute to his legacy, and his spirit is still very much a part of the foundation here.

​

Today, Plaza Fitness is a bridge between the old school and the new. Look around the gym floor on any given day and you will see the familiar faces of lifters who have been sweating it out here since the 90s, right alongside a brand new generation of young lifters ready to make their mark. We know exactly where we came from, and we are proud to be the place where Billings comes to get stronger.
