I was invited to come to this gym to do some pre strongman preparation. The gym was well equipped with quality and extensive weights and implements for strongman / powerlifting . It was plenty clean and spacious. I even managed to hit a new PR on the huge axle !! .
Great gym and god pricing. Personal Trainer was great. Staff was helpful. I revommend it. Best in the area
Great place to work out. Fantastic community. The trainer there really knows his stuff too. 10/10 would recommend. Great prices for membership and training.
Mike was kind enough to let us try out his gym while we're in town for the weekend. It was awesome! Tons of equipment and space to do whatever type of workout you prefer. The gym is low key and the members seem chill. Will definitely be coming back next time we're in town!
I’ve been using this gym for a few months now. It has all the equipment you need for barbell (olympic and power) and Metcons. It's a functional space. The stationary equipment is dated but safe. The gym needs to be cleaned more often - it’s dusty and the floors need to be mopped/vacuumed. The information on the website is not accurate - the gym offers no classes at this point. There is a space to change clothes in the gym and a bathroom down the hallway.
