What comes to mind when you hear the word uncaged? Well, some synonyms for the word uncaged are freed, released, liberated, and rescued. There is a new gym/physical fitness center coming to Worcester which will do those very things- release you from the “normal” gym experience, so that you can feel free and more. What is this place, you may be wondering? It is called Uncage Fitness, and it’s located at 640 Lincoln Street, Suite 300, in Worcester.

According to owner Cody Savoy, this is going to be “a place for EVERYONE to call home”. They are all accepting and welcome any and everyone.  When I visited Uncaged last week, I was totally impressed with the place. The individual different pieces of strength equipment (which number over one hundred), and the cardio equipment pieces (which number over forty), are all brand new and state-of-the-art. There are stations for shoulder work, stations for back work, stations for squats, and much more. There is also an extensive collection of free weights, ranging from smaller dumbbells to full weight bars and plates.  

In addition to the fitness workout equipment, Uncaged is also going to offer an array of other healthy things. There will be a barber shop on site, IV vitamin therapy provided by registered nurses, a protein bar, a waxing salon, personal trainers, saunas in both the men’s and women’s locker rooms, red light therapy, boxing, a posing room and more. Uncaged Fitness is going to be your one stop shop for all things related to making you feel at home while getting and maintaining fit.

Cody, a native of Templeton and a former football player, is the man behind the idea. He and his wife, Brielle, a city of Worcester firefighter, are the backbone of the business.  Both are perfect examples of fitness, who desire to help others to reach their own potential.  Both are also in the Armed Forces (Reserves and National Guard), and originally met when they were deployed to the same area. They became friends first, and then became man and wife. They both have the entrepreneurial spirit, and a love of their fellow humans, which is very evident in their philosophy of helping others to become the best that they can be. Cody told me that he gets his inspiration from another family member who embodies the same ideals of being an entrepreneur and helping others from his grandfather. And I must say that the look in his eyes as he talks about this man is amazing to see. I felt even more respect for Cody as he told me this.  

After the grand opening, which is scheduled for November 10th, Uncaged Fitness will be open 24/7 for members. They will have staffed hours on Monday- Thursday from 6 am to 8 pm, Friday from 6 am to 7 pm, and on the weekends from 8 am to 5 pm. After those hours, members will have access to the facility by using an app, which Cody helped to develop.
