ABOUT US

In 2016 we opened our doors with the dream of creating a gym that focused on group strength and fitness. We wanted to design a program to give everyone access to individualized group training classes, focused on camaraderie, with a high-energy training style, that would get results.

A program that was different from everything else out there, something that didn’t exist—so we created it.
