| - This was so cool! Never thought I'd be able to come to a place like this in real life. The area was a little sketchy and it was hard to find.. we parked in the back 'authorized parking only' (shh).. because we simply could not find a space to park! The lot was definitely scary.. dark, rainy.. I think I witnessed a drug deal going on in the back too. We walked to the front, where we couldn't see where pursuit OCR was.. we had to look through this huge window and at last, we found where we belong.
Waivers are easy to sign (via tablet) and payment was easy ($15 only?! Damn!) It's literally like a huge playground for adults, and I am DOWN!! There are lockers to put your stuff, which is good. There are 2 sides to the gym- one where the obstacle course is, and one where it's all gym stuff. The obstacle course is thoroughly thought out, and there are arrows letting you know where to go next. How thankful am I that I regularly workout my traps/delts/bis/tris so that I could do most of the stuff with ease?! (that didn't stop the pain the day after though.. nor the day after that) Most of the obstacles in the course require upper body strength but it was fun as ever; even if you don't have it, you can definitely still have fun because there is 0 pressure and 0 staff watching to laugh at you. I don't think they change anything around so -0.5 star for that. I understand it's hard to do so, but it could be a good option!
The other side of the gym has ropes to climb, pull up bars, a tight rope close to the ground to walk on (failed majorly, btw), a small workout area with battleropes/sleds/weighted balls (amazing body weight workout stuff) and the infamous american ninja warrior sloped walls! These were so fun and definitely not as scary as it may appear. Still need to work on my mad hops to reach the top one though..
Anyway.. this place is a gem. Workout here and it feels like you're playing. (except the next week when you wake up with moans and groans over muscle soreness in places you didn't even know could get sore)
Great workout spot for cardio training, strength training and grip at the same time. Love it!!!
