This is a small gym with small classes where you'll find a genuinely nice community of people from the staff to the clients. As someone who is just trying to learn the basics I was made to feel very welcome and comfortable. Strength training is new and difficult for me. The trainer Matt, made sure his instructions scaled to my ability which I found incredibly helpful.
Gyms around town have such different offerings/cultures so let me highlight some specifics:
1. It's a studio styled - open gym, with lots of strength equipment: strength machines, kettlebells, weight racks, sled, tires etc.
2. Cardio here primarily involves lifting heavy things rapidly. No treadmills, no zumba classes.
3. It's clean, also they can open the bay door at the rear of the gym for fresh air which is a nice feature.
4. Very welcoming to different abilities, ages etc.
