I really enjoy my experiences at Strong Hands Gym. The gym is one cleanest gyms I’ve ever been to! The staff members are kind and always willing to help. I’ve also, had the support of the staff with my goals of becoming a bodybuilder. The gym equipment is excellent and easy to use.

What makes Strong Hands Gym so great is that it caters to all people and centers them around one common objective - to break a sweat and have fun doing it. The founder of the gym - Diego - has created a great atmosphere with friendly staff …

Best gym I have ever joined. Love the community there. Honestly as a trans person and fighter, I can't say enough to someone looking to join, just join! If you want to get into boxing or kick boxing and never have, JOIN! If you fought …

I’m someone whose always been a smaller guy, but started putting on weight going into my 30s. I’ve never in my life been a “workout” or “gym” guy. I took a chance on Diego and tried out his gym. After many failed gym memberships and …

Overall, its a good gym. It's 24 hours which is super convenient and everyone is super nice here. The trainers (if you get one, which I recommend) are receptive to your needs and goals. The gym owner (I think Diego?) is very nice and happy to answer any questions. Also, the price is great and if you can afford it, I recommend just paying for a whole year upfront to save money in the long run.The only downside is the lack of space. I actively avoid 7-9am and and 4-7pm M-F because there's usually no space to do anything and everything is in use (basically, I'm now one of those people that wake up at 5 am haha). I think just re-arranging the gym would be a dramatic improvement in use of space.

My fiancee and I started here a bit over a month ago, and there's legitimately not a person at this gym who isn't incredibly cool and not full of energy. I gained a lot of weight over covid and became pretty weak, and the trainers have been very helpful in working with me where I'm at now, both in strength/conditioning and in diet.The place is very accepting, I would suggest it for anyone who feels anxious about their weight/strength and wants to improve themselves.As a bonus, we came in looking for pure strength/conditioning, and we've just picked up boxing - the staff here is amazing at working with absolute beginners.Big thanks to Diego and team!

After a few years away from the gym and covid pounds i wanted to find a personal training gym to kick off a new program. Strong hands and Diego are awesome. Diego’s positive energy is so inviting and the space and community he has created is great. The gym is never overly crowded and has great energy. I work with Will as a trainer and love him. highly recommend!

Where do I start, this gym is what I think about when I think of the perfect gym. It started with the location (about a 3 minute walk from my condo); it quickly moved to the awesome energy and knowledge that you get from the trainers here …

I found this gym recently and am so happy I did! I am doing personal training with Diego and he is really motivating and professional. He is also flexible with scheduling which is nice when you have a busy schedule to work around. The gym has new equipment and is really clean and friendly - great sense of community!
