I’ve been a member of this gym since it opened and really enjoy training here. It has everything I need including some hard-to-find equipment that’s great for serious bodybuilding. It is the right place to be to prep for a competition. The staff is always friendly and makes the place feel welcoming every time I walk in. It’s a great environment to stay motivated, and I’m excited to see the upcoming expansion. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

Nothing but the best for the best. Equipment is handpicked by the owners, from old school gems to new school pieces, everything has its purpose. The environment is unmatched and the members are even better. Everyone’s willing to help one another, talk to one another, and most importantly support one another. It’s worth the visit and most certainly worth it to sign up! Best gym is the triangle 👏
