This is a purist, no-frills powerlifter gym. Great selection of free weights, Olympic weights, & machines. (This is the only place I’ve seen 200lb dumbbells). Their membership cost structure is gloriously straightforward & incredibly reasonable. They do day passes without trying to trick you into a commitment. My favorite gym. But if you’re looking for sterile, shiny equipment and VIP membership packages maybe this isn’t the gym for you

Best gym I've ever been too. Great ownership, solid crowd, good equipment. It even has a great playlist going all the time.

I've been training at this gym off and on for the better part of 6 years. The people are friendly, the staff is attentive. Other gyms boast the 'no judgement' gimmick, but it actually exists here. No one cares how much anyone else can lift. We all know why we're all there. Need a spot? Just ask. Need some help with your technique or form? Again, the crowd this gym draws in is truly second to none. If I didn't have to go to work, I think I'd never leave.
