Community

What community feels like

Walk in for the first time and the workout is almost beside the point. People say hello, David knows your name from your sit-down before your first class starts, and yes, there is a dog.


In their own words

What people say, unprompted

The people who show up here aren’t former athletes trying to stay sharp. They’re everyday people who decided to start. Every quote below is verbatim.

“A great gym to be a part of! The coaches are wonderful and provide great instruction, support, and cuing. The members are fantastic- it's a very supportive community to be a part of and tough workouts to be proud of!”

“Did a walk in on a hot saturday. David and his wife were welcoming and David even gave me some new tips on how to properly do a snatch. Its always to have a different perspective. Great and clean Gym! New equipment!”

“I attended a drop in class while I was vacationing in the area, and loved it! Great space, plenty of equipment, friendly group, and the coach made sure to make me feel welcomed. Will probably be back a few more times before my vacation is up, or anytime I'm back in the area.”

Chief Morale Officer

Meet Pepper

Pepper is a confirmed member of the coaching roster. She is friendly and well-behaved around class, has a soft spot for anyone who brings a treat, and you will probably meet her before you meet half the humans.

Getting started

How getting started works

  1. Book the sit-down

    Your first visit is the No Sweat Intro: twenty minutes with David, street clothes, no workout. Your goals, anything that hurts, anything you want us to know.

  2. Then your first class, another day

    After the sit-down you join a class, scaled to exactly where you are, not where you think you should be.

  3. Ask anything

    Nobody hands you a workout and disappears, and nobody minds a question mid-class. Come as you are; the room does the rest.

Come meet the community and the dog

Real coaching, a real welcome, and a monthly one-on-one session included with new memberships.
