Question 1

Do I need any experience with powerlifting or strongman to join?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Many of our members walked in with zero lifting experience. Our coaches meet you exactly where you are and build your program from the ground up. Whether you've never touched a barbell or you're prepping for a meet, you belong here.

Question 2

What happens at my first visit?

Accepted Answer

You'll sit down with a coach for a free intro session. We'll talk about your goals, show you around the gym, and discuss which training option is the best fit: personal training, semi-private sessions, or open gym. No pressure, no obligation.

Question 3

What should I wear and bring?

Accepted Answer

Wear comfortable workout clothes and closed-toe shoes. Flat-soled shoes like Converse or lifting shoes are ideal. Bring a water bottle. We've got everything else you need.

Question 4

Is this gym good for weight loss and general fitness, or is it just for competitive lifters?

Accepted Answer

Both. While we love our competitive athletes, the majority of our members are everyday people who want to get stronger, lose weight, and feel better. Our personal training and semi-private programs are designed to get results no matter your starting point.

Question 5

How much does a membership cost?

Accepted Answer

We offer several membership options to fit different goals and budgets. Click the "Pricing" button in the menu to request our current rates and we'll send them right over.

We're at 300 Northwest Victoria Drive in Lee's Summit, MO. There's free parking available right on-site, so just pull up and walk in.

Do you offer programs for kids and teens?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our youth programs are designed for young athletes looking to build strength, improve sports performance, and develop proper movement patterns. Reach out to learn more about age requirements and scheduling.

Question 8

Do I need a personal trainer?

Accepted Answer

No. Plenty of our members train on their own in the open gym. If you'd like a custom plan, help with your form, or extra accountability to reach your goals, our personal trainers are here whenever you want them.

What are your hours?
