Review №1

I walked in today to get some information. The guy behind the desk seemed a little annoyed/ surprised that I would even walk in but they asked what they can help. I started to say that I needed a place to train but I was quickly told that I needed to apply in order to work out there. I attempted to let them know that I was only in town for a few days but before I could even finish my sentence, I was cut off mid sentence and told that they absolutely don’t take walk ins.I don’t mind the fact that you are unable to take walk-ins but it was one of the rudest 30 second exchanges that I have been a part of in quite some time.

Ive been to quite a few gyms in the bay area and across the country and this has been my favorite gym. They have platforms where you can deadlift, and no one is going to give you any trouble, because you put the weights down too hard. You can lift barefoot. You can use chalk, and its provided. The weights are calibrated. You know how sometimes the weights feel heavier than other days, well at other gyms they are, here they are competition weights. They have chains bands and boxes. They have plenty of squat and bench press areas. The weights are always put away neatly. You wont have to hunt for that 1.25 lb plate because you are just trying to squeeze out a few more gains. There is a leader board and the guys at this gym are strong, because the equipment that is there is designed to get you strong. Before going here I had always been one of the stronger guys at a gym. Well, Im not even close(though I had injuries before staring here). This is the place to go if you want to train, not be distracted and get some results.

Good gym and awesome people. Been here 3 weeks and can say the following.1) this is a strong gym.2) people are nice and friendly (no mean mugging bullshit)3) chandler is a great coach. He cuts it to you straight, and has made me much stronger and better lifter.4) the other coaches are awesome as well.I am an experienced lifter and found a new home, but if you are a newbie I feel you would feel the same way.

Love this place. Best powerlifting gym in the Bay Area. World class coaching, atmosphere, and culture. All the equipment you need for both heavy lifting and every accessory you could think of. Amazing and supportive members, whether you are struggling to squat the bar, or pulling 500lbs+ deadlifts for reps. As long as you want to get stronger and are willing to do the work, you will be welcome here.

Started in December 2018 with some private training sessions with Chandler. The stuff Ive learned in those 3 lessons surpasses anything Ive learned in 7 years of lifting. He increased my deadlift PR by nearly 80lbs just by showing me the proper form.The training crew lets you get help from experienced and knowledgeable trainers as well as working with other people reaching for the same goal.The gym is small but has the essential equipment necessary to get a great workout in. Multiple squat/bench racks, but people are courteous enough to let you work in with them if theyre all being used. Dumbbells, benches, different types of barbells, etc. Best part is everyone of different size, experience, strength, etc. are welcome and the room will stop and cheer for you when youre going for a new PR in a lift.Overall, this place is worth every penny you pay for whatever option you choose. Even if you choose a just an online training plan itll be the best plan youve ever gotten.
