Community Feedback
"Incredible gym for anyone serious about powerlifting or weightlifting. What sets them apart is the accessibility of the coaches: you get expert feedback and explanations on your lifts without the price of a private 1:1 session. The coaches are knowledgeable, caring and fun, fostering a great community that welcomes any skill level. While I initially worried the training might be too narrow, the programming is actually very well-balanced for total body strength. Note that the space feels more like Rocky’s gym than an Equinox, which to me adds to the authentic appeal and energy!"

"I've been a member for 5.5 years and am still here because I see continuous improvement! Vince's program has worked very well for me and despite there being more members, he's been able to offer personalized coaching and assistance during and outside of training hours still. Very grateful to have access to such a great space, equipment, coaching, and community."
