Shark city is a great gym, especially coming from the old location to the current one. Great variety of equipment, plenty of squat racks and benches, and good people to boot. The owner Andre is a great guy and has helped me reach any and every goal I could think up. You can make anything of yourself here, you just have to want it.

The staff made me feel very uncomfortable there on my first day, I'm not a very strong person being 6 feet tall and 7 inches, weighing 120 pounds. I could visibly see the staff laughing at me as I tried to lift bar. I would recommend finding a more hospitable environment in a different gym than this one.
