Amazing gym. I was only in the area for a month, but I loved it here! Great equipment, very kind and welcoming people. Andre the owner/coach helped show me how to use the equipment I wasn't familiar with and also helped me with my lifts. Was able to move more weight in a day than I have in the past couple years. Would recommend to anyone!
