This is strictly regarding equipment, everything else is on point, including the staff.The gym lacks important equipment geared toward powerlifting, but training in general. There’s no benches with adjustable arms.. not all of us are T-Rex’s, we need adjustable arms to lift up the bar up higher so we can just slide the bar off the arms to position the bar over our chest. Not begin our press just trying to get the bar off the arms and into position, that’s bad for training.There’s an 80lbs DB that’s missing. Been broken for a few weeks now, hasn’t been replaced. Again no good for training when the program calls for that specific weight for a specific set of a specific exercise.There isn’t a deadlift bar jack, you need to purchase a wedge to slide the weights off/on the bar.It also lacks Ohio and Texas bars for squats and deadlifts. However they do have a 55lbs squat bar (I think it’s a Texas squat bar)There’s no glute ham raise (GHR) contraption, which is a massive hamstring builder (strength/size) and will increase your lifts (DLs and Squats).There’s only 1 weighted belt.. and it’s not easy to use when trying to do weighted dips. I think they only have 1 pair of chains for barbells. And I haven’t seen any bands either.The gym appears to try to appease all crowds but the gym isn’t large enough for this.There’s strong man, powerlifting, and CrossFit equipment amongst other equipment like cardio and other machines.I hope that the owner either reevaluates the equipment and replaces some of them. Or if true that there’s plans to move to a larger facility that there’s truly more focus on the powerlifting side. I think they need to hire a gym/sports analysis to really layout all the equipment they will need without unnecessary redundancy.This is not to damage the image of the gym owner, staff, nor it’s current facility. It is constructive criticism in hopes they will see a demand for certain equipment.Powerlifting and powerbuilding (hybrid of powerlifting and bodybuilding) is in huge demand and there are not enough facilities supplying the equipment to support said demand.

Sick spot great place for them phocused workouts where it's not over crowded and eyes arnt constantly watching you.. love how it's set up has that manly feel with a good tase in rock. Punching bags big area out back for cardio and more. This is the type of place iv wanted to workout in for along time and finally found it without having to travel further from home... cause alot of these type of style gyms are hard to come by unless your in the LA area. 🤙🤙🤙🎃🎃🎃💪💪💪💪
