Great equipment and great people. The Pit offers the best equipment to really get a true training experience with no judgement. No matter where you are in your journey this gym is the one for you to reach your goals. You can’t get this from a commercialized gym. 10/10 would recommend . 5 ⭐️

What's not to like about this place? The staff is great, the members help motivate you to be a better version of you. The facility is clean, the equipment is on point, and they have 24 hour access. Whether you're looking to get in shape or compete there's all levels here. We even have America's Strongest Man as the owner!

Just competed in a Powerlifting competition at this location this past weekend. The facility is very nice! All the staff were friendly and the owners were more than generous hosting the event for the day. I am from out of town but if this was closer I would sure be a member!! The event is annual so I can’t wait for next year!!!

Good gym, my only complaint is how they DJ songs. Often a song will be playing then it stops and goes to another song (just finish the song even if it stinks). The other issue is the general playlists (heavy on early 2000s rock) are outdated and filled with depressing and loud songs from bands like Staind. Brighten it up a bit and let us get in a groove!

The Pit is my favorite local place to train as a power lifter. They offer calibrated plates, competition racks and about every type of bar you could need. The managers are super helpful and friendly. It does get pretty busy around 5-6:00 so I’d recommend going earlier in the day.

Best gym I’ve ever been a member of. If you’re looking for a gym that has a competitive but friendly environment you will not find a better establishment. They have 24 hour access as well which is a huge plus for anyone looking to workout after hours or holidays.

I've been strength training seriously for about 6 years now, and this is easily one of the most well-equipped gyms I've ever seen. Great machines, great free weights, and a lot of the more niche conditioning and strongman/powerlifting equipment. I worked out there for 90 minutes and still didn't have time to try out everything I wanted.

Just joined this gym.... this place is being one awesome. It has the largest selection of specialty equipment I have ever seen. From different weights, barbells, machines even small things like fat grips and a sauna! Best decision I've made in awhile joining here.
