I have been working out for 18 years and have been to quite a few gyms in my life. This is the only gym that I can say it has that family vibe. Everyone supports each other. Everyone is willing to help anyone out. If you’re serious about wanting to get stronger this should be the only gym you consider.

Recently moved here and was looking for a gym to check out. Shark city was heavily recommended to me, and I now know why. The staff/owners are great people that truly take pride in their work/surroundings, and are constantly evolving to best meet the needs of their members. I look forward to seeing this place continue to grow

Shark City has been the one gym I’ve gone to that feels like home. I have grown to love the members like family and have never felt more welcome at any other gym. It’s the one gym I feel comfortable being able to take My shirt off and not being judged. If I can’t lift a certain weight I don’t have anyone bringing me down, I know I can always count on Andre (the owner) and others to lift me up.It’s not Disney, but it’s pretty close to the greatest place on Earth.
