Member here for two years. Every toy you can think of, great environment for lifting.Programming and gym membership is mostly focused on powerlifting (unsurprising once you look up Dan), but they have plenty of resources for Olympic lifting and strongman, among other things. Sparkle can be a little prickly at times, but whenever I had an issue we were able to work it out.

Was a member there for 3 months. Great place for beginners to pros. Probably can find all the equipment used in the gym. Special shout-out to Jake for amazing tour and helping whenever required.Friendly people. Bathrooms to shower. Living room to rest. Free protein powder (inside the gym, not sure if it's still going on). Dog friendly. What not. Just try it up.

A great place for serious lifters. No frills, but certainly with everything one might need to train with heavy weights.

Amazing gym for powerlifting and weight lifting. Lots of competition equipment (Ivanko kilo plates, combo racks, monolifts, all kinds of bars including deadlift bars, stiff bars (Eleiko) etc.) Drop in rate is $25 USD per day but I believe they have a two day pass or week pass that works out to be less than 25 a day. Gym has wifi! Everyone is also very very friendly. Gym has parking, or you can take the caltrain and get off at the Mtv station. The gym is about 17 minutes away (just walk along the main road).

Great powerlifting facility. Plenty of squat racks and abundance of other equipment, I wish we had something like this in Vancouver. Loved the couches on the side to relax between sets. Shower facilities nice touch. Coming back here again!

Great customer service, they fake the time to show you all the equipment and how to use it. They give you a tour as soon as your interested, something other gyms dont do.
