A really nice gym with everything a powerlifter could want- kilo plates, combo racks, and deadlift platforms, plus strongman equipment. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed my experience at Raw! Some of the equipment at this gym I have never seen/used before which makes it unique. The people and the atmosphere were great! I would 100% go back. :)

This gym is the best in the area. This is the true home of judgement free. The only focus is progress. The Raw Strength community is a community of support. Building strength is a journey and it cannot be achieved alone. Join the Raw Strength community!!

Raw strength has a very welcoming community that you won’t find at most other gyms. Raw strength is where I started my strongman journey and a gained a lot of strength and knowledge of the sport faster than I had anywhere else. They have an intense variety of equipment for different types of lifts and the owner Jeremy is doing a great job to help expand the sport of strongman.

Raw Strength is a great gym to train for powerlifting, strongman, or just general training. The specialty bars alone are worth switching gyms. Bonus, you can use chalk. The gym members are friendly and very helpful to newcomers. It definitely feels like a home away from home. I highly recommend this gym to all!

Love this gym! Jeremy is a knowledgable trainer! He’s extremely warm and welcoming. The gym is clean and the members are nice! RAW is an amazing place to train but also sit and chill. RAW definitely feels like a space where you can go for an hour or two and just leave your worries at the door!

Incredible people, incredible environment, the gym equipment is amazing and versatile for a variety of styles of strength training. Coming from someone who has experience in general lifting and CrossFit but never experienced strongman style workouts, these guys were beyond helpful on tips, tricks and instructing me the best way AND safest way to complete the workout while having fun! For never being there, it was honestly the best workout experience I've had with other humans and have never had so many hype people pushing me to lift "the thing". A little bit of everything comes to the table when coming to this gym for sure and if anyone asked me, I'd say that was the place to go lift without any hesitation! If this gym could fit in my suitcase... I'd take it and all the people with me!I'm sad to go, but definitely looking forward to visiting again and having the Raw Strength experience in the future!

Raw Strength is a wonderful gym that brings people together in a way that most gyms don't. It's a welcoming, kind community that will make you stronger. The owner is truly one of the kindest humans I've ever met. Outside of being supportive of you and your goals, he's full of knowledge; ask him any question, and if he doesn't know the answer, he'll find it. All and all, there's no other gym like it in town, so give it a try (you'll be glad you did)!
