About
Built for the person who has never touched a barbell
Half our members had never lifted before joining. Everyone starts with a free session where a coach walks you through the room and writes you a plan. There are no contracts, no joining fee and no upsell — if you stop coming we would rather you cancel than quietly pay us for nothing.
“I had never lifted anything in my life and was terrified. The coach spent the whole first session just teaching me how to set up a bar. Two years later I deadlift more than I weigh.”

“No contract, no joining fee, and when I broke my wrist they paused my membership without me even asking.”

“Open at 5:30am, which is the only reason I actually go. Coaches are there that early too.”

FAQ
Common questions
Am I too out of shape to start?
No. About half our members had never trained before joining. Your first session is with a coach who builds a plan around exactly where you are now.
Is there a contract?
No contracts and no joining fee. Memberships are month to month and you can cancel any time — tell the assistant and it is done.
What does it cost?
Open gym is $65 a month, coached small group $145, one-to-one from $85 a session, and there is a $45 student and shift-work rate. Day passes are $20.
What should I bring to the first session?
Flat shoes and a water bottle. That is genuinely it — we have everything else, and the first session is free whether you join or not.
