Wonderful gym! The equipment was exactly what was needed to prep for a powerlifting competition. The staff was quick with response to questions and the other members were welcoming
Great gym culture and an amazing setup. Everyone is there to put in work. There's a ton of specialty bars, racks, and functional equipment. Highly recommend.
Although it can be intimidating to walk in for the first time, the vibe and the people are welcoming. The equipment selection is great.
