Best powerlifting gym in the area.
When it comes to a high quality gym, Competitive Edge Power & Fitness did not disappoint. I went in for a day pass and it was clear that Eric Kratz is passionate and takes pride in creating an amazing atmosphere for all. If youre near, I would highly recommend you to go here. You wont be disappointed.
The facility is spotless and has all the equipment one would need to reach their full potential. The gym also has a great atmosphere with everyone supporting one another. Make sure this gym is on your list of places to visit, or if you are in the area, I would highly suggest joining!
As a novice powerlifter I find powerlifting gyms to be very welcoming and Competitive Edge is no different. The gym is spacious, organized, and clean. Tons of deadlift platforms, benches and squat racks available. This spot is legit. I highly recommend Competitive Edge if you want to get good training sessions in.
Outfitted with equipment primarily from Elitefts and Rogue, Competitive Edge cuts no corners when it comes to quality. As a competitive powerlifter and meet director It’s clear that Eric Kratz takes pride in creating a World Class atmosphere for competitive powerlifters and performance athletes.
I’ve lifted at a lot of gyms over the years and it’s usually the same formula: show up, headphones on, and put in work. If that’s your style you can definitely do that here. Top of the line equipment and good atmosphere.HOWEVER. If you’re willing to take off the headphones and get in with the evening training sessions, I GUARANTEE that you will be pushed past any limit you thought you may have had. You will get stronger, your technique will improve, and you will gain a family. It doesn’t matter what level you’re at coming in at, everyone’s on the same level in there working toward the same goal pushing you all the way. Truly a unique experience that will take you and your training to the next level.
This was my first time visiting this gym. The facility is huge, the equipment is all 1st rate, the gym was spotless and all the people I met were great. If you live in the Allentown area, this is the gym you should be training at.
I joined Competitive Edge Power & Fitness shortly after they opened in May 2015 and it is by far the best place Ive ever worked out. As soon as you walk through the door there is nothing but positive energy. Coach Eric is always willing to help and since I started working with him in personal sessions Ive noticed a drastic improvement of my overall strength. In the 6 weeks Ive been going there Ive seen my body start to take shape and the workouts are also improving my running. One thing I would like to point out about this gym is the other members; every member Ive met has been friendly and always willing to offer a spot when needed. Compared to the commercial gym I use to go to, Competitive Edge Power & Fitness is much cleaner, much more positive, and the members and staff are very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this gym for anyone looking to improve their overall health. Thanks for the great coaching Eric!
Best gym I have ever been to. The atmosphere here is amazing and the people are awesome. Never once since Ive joined have I felt like an outcast or out of place. Great gym!
The best equipment and great meets that are run well
If your looking for that edge for powerlifting goals or personal goals this is the place. And it doesnt matter if you have no experience or your a elite powerlifter you will get the same support. Great gym.
