Coaching
A program, not a workout
Every member gets a written strength program and a coach who watches every rep. Squat, press, pull, repeat — we build the lifts that make everything else easier, then we add weight on purpose.
- Barbell fundamentals in your first two weeks
- Written progression you can actually follow
- Form checks on every heavy set
Classes
Conditioning that bites
Small-group conditioning capped at twelve, three intensities a day. Barbell cycling, sleds, carries, and intervals — scaled to you and coached the whole way through. No choreography, no wasted hour.
- Capped at twelve, never a crowd
- Scaled options posted before every class
- 45 minutes, warm-up to cool-down
Open gym
The floor is always yours
Fourteen platforms, a full rack of bumpers, dumbbells to a hundred, and space to actually use them. Come train your own program any hour we’re open — a coach is on the floor from dawn to close.
- 14 platforms, calibrated plates
- Dumbbells, kettlebells, machines, sleds
- A coach on the floor 5am–11pm
