Hardbat Athletics is more than a gym—it’s a one-of-a-kind community. From the very first day I walked through the doors, I found so much more than just a place to get stronger. I was welcomed into a group of like-minded individuals who share a common drive to improve themselves, and it quickly became a second home for me. What sets Hardbat apart is the perfect blend of energy, purpose, and camaraderie. The coaches are not only experts in their field, but they’re also passionate learners who continue to grow and evolve to better serve us. They don’t just show you what to do—they guide you with purpose, ensuring every movement has intention and every session contributes to your goals. Their consistent messaging and supportive approach make the experience both productive and motivating. The community here is incredible. It’s filled with people who are all striving to better themselves, and that collective energy is contagious. Whether you’re working toward consistency, strength, or simply finding a fun and welcoming environment, Hardbat Athletics checks every box. For me, it’s been transformative—both physically and mentally. I came looking for a place close to home to invest in myself, to find consistency in my workouts, and to join a group where I could grow alongside others with flexible hours. What I discovered was so much more: discipline, a purpose-driven program led by expert coaches who are passionate, and a community that inspires me every day. If you’re looking for a gym that will challenge you, support you, and make you excited to show up, Hardbat Athletics is the place to be. Less

I have been a member and attending group classes at Hardbat Athletics since 2021, and I have been extremely satisfied with the Coaching staff and the facility. Before, I attend regular no-service gyms and did exercise programs based on articles or videos or watched. I avoided doing barbell exercises such deadlifts, cleans, and front and back squats because I wasn't comfortable with the techniques and concern that I was risking injury. But at Hardbat, when you take the group classes, you get direct individualized training on every movement. The training is first focused on getting the basic established, then helping you fine-tune and improve your techniques. Group classes are held multiple times throughout the day from early morning to evening on the weekdays, and in the mornings on Saturday and Sunday. They have an "open gym" available from about 5 AM to 9 PM where you can come in anytime for an individual workout. Group class have a new workout every day that keeps the experience fresh. It is lead by a professional coach who gives each class member individual instructions as needed, and will help tailor or "scale" the workout to your individual goals and skills level. They use a program called "The Level Method" that helps members track their progress through a comprehensive set of benchmarks. This is very motivating and helps you better understand your strengths and weaknesses, as well as setting goals for improvement. Group classes last about an hour. It starts out with a coach-led warm-up and then preparation for the day's workout. The workout is usually CrossFit-style- mean that it will have a structure often made up of a combination of cardio (rowing, running, stationary fan bicycle, ski-machine), strength-building exercises (deadlifts, cleans, snatches, etc.) and gymnastics (leg lifts, pull ups, etc.). The structure is also often set up like a small contest. For example, the workout may include rounds of three or four different exercises and a time duration of 20 minutes, with the objective of seeing how many rounds of exercises you can do within that time. This makes the workout really fun and a purpose by getting yourself motivated to see how much you can do. Group classes are also great for meeting new people and making friends. Other class attendees are often very friendly and supportive, and makes going to the gym seem like a social event - rather than just a place to put in earbuds and ignore other people in the gym.

Joining this community is the best decision I made when I moved back to Newark! Less

Absolutely happy and grateful to have had the opportunity to be part of Hardbat! I 100% recommend this place, I felt comfortable since the first time I walked in, everyone is so welcoming and helpful. Can’t wait for this semester to be over so I can go back! Less

Hardbat is hands-down the best gym I've ever been to. The staff are talented, caring, motivated, and also a lot of fun. My coach has helped me completely transform my physical condition.

The supportive atmosphere makes it easy to push your limits and be vulnerable, knowing you're in a safe space. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or a beginner, the knowledgeable trainers and friendly members will motivate you to reach your fitness goals. Less

The Gym is accessible at all times, and has a great variety of equipment, along with a great variety of other folks there: old & young, experienced & novice, fat & thin. It's a very welcoming environment for everyone, and folks are politely supportive of each other. I've been working here with Shawn Jones for a while, and have found him to very much threading the needle of gently pushing me to work harder at this, and it has paid off immensely. He is almost always there, even when we don't have an appointment, to help with any questions I might have, and has a well of expertise to draw on. Strong recommend. Less

Hardbat Athletic is the best gym. The day I walked in I was welcomed. Everyone there is so helpful and friendly. Coach Nina is the best. I have not exercised in a very long time and she is working with me to get me to my goals. My only regret is.. Why didn’t I start this soon. Less

I can't recommend Hardbat Athletics enough! It has been a great journey ever since I joined them back in June 2024 and still going strong. We all know joining a new gym as an newbie can be a little nerve wrecking or uncomfortable but everybody there is super friendly, knowledgeable and I felt welcomed from the start. Special shout out to coach Nina for being absolutely amazing and helping me get to the point I am at so far with my fitness journey. The difference in a few months is amazing! Less

After not having been to a gym in many years, I was nervous about what it was going to be like and if I would feel comfortable. Iris was so kind and understanding of my needs and set me and my husband up with Coach Shawn and we’ve been training twice a week with him. We love it. The atmosphere is encouraging and friendly and the gym is clean and spacious. Coach Shawn is very professional and encouraging. He scales all the exercises, knows when to push, and knows so many different ways to exercise I never get bored. The focus is health, not trying to look like what you see on social media. I never thought I’d ever find myself in a gym again but we’ve seen great results with Coach Shawn! Can’t recommend him more! Less

I recently had a hip replacement and wanted to get back in shape after. I signed up and worked with Coach Nina to get a lot stronger in the last 5 months. I highly recommend this gym and the great coaches they have. Great workouts and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend. Less

Hard Bat is the best gym around. The people are amazing. Coach Shawn Jones is incredibly talented and had helped me make huge gains in fitness. And its fun! Great community everyone is friendly. Also super clean and professional. Thanks Hardbat! Less

Harbat Athletics has been an absolute game-changer for me! From day one, I felt welcomed into a supportive community that truly cares about your progress.

Each workout is challenging but in the best way, making me feel stronger and more confident every time I show up. If you’re looking for a gym where you’ll be supported and pushed to be your best, Harbat Athletics is the place to be! Less

I dropped in because it was near by & was a great decision. The coach, class & members were fantastic. It was my first experience with the “Level method” of scaling options because it made it very clear how to approach the WOD. I’m not in the area often; however, I know where to go for a workout. Less

Hardbat Athletics is hands down one of the best communities I have ever experienced. From the moment I walked into this gym, I felt a sense of welcome and belonging. The perfect blend of competition and fun here has been truly inspiring, making each session something I look forward to. The coaches are passionate, and their enthusiasm is absolutely contagious. It’s clear that they have dedicated a lot of time and effort into building a robust and effective system, which shines through in every interaction. The respect and admiration I have for this team and the community they’ve created are immense. It’s early in my journey to get stronger, but I already feel that dropping in here was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’m grateful for the positive impact it has had on me, and can’t recommend Hardbat Athletics highly enough. Less

I started at Hardbat recently and have had a great experience. I am in my 50s and used to be pretty fit and athletic, but I'm currently not in the best shape. I was very nervous about going to a new gym, but the trainers have been AMAZING at helping me get back into fitness. They are so encouraging and can always help me adjust the moves to my capabilities. The other members have also been exceedingly welcoming and helpful. I'm very glad that I reached out to Hardbat, and I am very optimistic about improving my fitness. Less

I recently started at hardbat and this is my first time doing crossfit. The coaches have been extremely helpful and encouraging. Crossfit is challenging but it is challenging in the best way and I am enjoying the journey. Less

Hardbat is great. They are super welcoming to drop-ins, like me, and seem to have built a great community of regular, local members. The facility is huge, clean, and well organized. The coaches are knowledgeable and welcoming. Would definitely recommend checking Hardbat out. Less

I joined Hardbat as a recent college grad when I was feeling lost in my fitness journey because I no longer had the same accountability that I did as a college athlete. Meeting Derek and his team of intentional and passionate coaches helped get me back on track and gave me a community of great people who were all showing up everyday to make themselves and each other better. Derek’s programming reignited my passion and empowered me to push past the limits that I once had put on my body. If you’re looking for a top notch team of coaches, a beautiful and spacious facility, and a great member community definitely check out Hardbat! Less

I can’t say enough good things about HardBat! The Level Method programming they use assures that athletes of all levels workout to the best of their ability while working towards the next level. The coaches are amazing - not just during class - but anytime you need something or just want to chat with a friend , they are there. My favorite part is there is ZERO JUDGEMENT. I have said it before and I’ll say it every time - no matter what your shape, size, plans , aspirations, etc… you belong here. Less

I love Hardbat! Amazing coaches, in a clean and spacious environment. From an equipment standpoint they have everything you need. I've been working out at Hardbat since July 2023, opting for the personal training sessions. Iris has been an incredible trainer. When it comes to an ego free coach, one that focuses on you, your needs and your goals, there is nobody better. I’ve had other personal training at other gyms and the attention and focus you get at Hardbat are industry leading. Less

Stumbled upon Hardbat Athletics about 6 months and it’s changed my life for the better! I entered in hesitant if gym life was for me, but after meeting and working with Coach Shawn and experiencing the uplifting, supportive, and encouraging community that Hardbat members and coaches bring, I was hooked! Hardbat is a fantastic gym for all levels of people. I always leave feeling better than when I got there and am seeing such improvements in my health through the support and coaching from the team at Hardbat 😄 Less

Hardbat is the best gym in Newark (in my biased opinion). I’ve loved every second I’ve been at this gym and am seeing great results with my personal training sessions. Look no further if you’re looking for coaches who care and a positive environment to get fit. Less

Exceptional CrossFit Experience at Hardbat! I’m having an incredible experience at Hardbat CrossFit, thanks to my outstanding coach, Steve Bach. Steve's dedication and support during my intro sessions played a pivotal role in rebuilding my confidence at the gym. Now, as I continue taking classes, I'm excited about leveling up my fitness journey with the expert guidance at Hardbat. I highly recommend it to individuals of all skill levels – if I can do it, anyone can! Don't miss the opportunity to train with Steve; his guidance is truly transformative. 5 stars! Less

I started at Hardbat about 1.5 years ago knowing nothing about CrossFit, and I have never regretted my decision to continue with this amazing community. The coaches are all very welcoming, positive and knowledgeable. You never have to worry about feeling lost during a class, every movement is demonstrated with multiple levels for each class. Hardbat has pushed me out of my comfort zone, gain confidence, get stronger, and overall healthier. Less

I never belonged to a gym before joining Hardbat Athletics last month. I walked into Hardbat not having a clue of what it meant to work out or have a healthy life style. Hardbat has exceeded expectations for me. I truly enjoy coming in for my weekly training sessions with Coach Shawn. I also enjoy coming in for Open Gym and doing the work outs provided. I am seeing incredible improvements with my mobility and strength. I lived a very unhealthy lifestyle and after decades of trying to do it myself I decided I needed help...thank God a good friend told me about Hardbat Athletics. Hardbat isn’t just about workouts. I am being educated on the right way to exercise and stretches so I am not injured. My Coach helps me understand my current body limits and sets a plan on how WE are going to improve those limits and continue to get better. I am learning how to eat the right foods to help with weight loss and feed my body the right way. I even learned about proper footwear to limit injuries. I have met several coaches at Hardbat and they are awesome. The Coaches watch you and will help offer corrections ensuring you are doing the work out safely and effectively. They believe in me and they encourage me and I feel like I really can do it, the right and safe way. I feel very comfortable working out here. I look forward to getting my body to point where I can do more and continue to better myself long term. Regardless what level of health you are in, I encourage you to call Hardbat Athletic and take advantage of a solid program for total health package. Less

Hardbat is an amazing gym and community! I felt right at home since the moment I walked in the door. I was greeted with smiles and my nervousness went away. I love my workouts because they’re doable for me, and I always feel amazing leaving the gym! I would recommend Hardbat Athletics to anybody who’s fallen off the wagon before and are looking for accountability and motivation to reach your goals! Less

Hardbat has completely changed my outlook on CrossFit and fitness in general. When I first became a member I never thought I would ever be looking at doing a workout RX. However, over the years I began to believe in myself, push myself & gain confidence in my strengthens and weaknesses and now I’m doing more than I could have ever imagined possible!! None of which would have been possible without the guidance and motivation of each and every coach of Hardbat Athletics. It truly is amazing to come into a place every day filled with coaches you love that inspire you and motivate you every single time you workout … even on the days you do not feel like coming in but still do! In addition to classes hardbat offers, they also offer personal training packages / programming that has helped me grow tremendously physically and mentally! The programming even helped me reach my goal of getting my first pull up ever!! Which was the first of many milestones that made me realize hardbat was the place for me! Your growth at Hardbat Athletics as an individual and as an athlete is never ending thanks to the way the coaches of this gym motivate, inspire, teach, and even support you each and every time you step in the door! I would most definitely recommend this gym to anyone looking to start their fitness journey or continue it! Hardbat is the PERFECT place if you are ready to fall in love with fitness or all over again & oh yeah make some great friends/ workout buddies along the way :) Less

What truly stands out at Hardbat is the attention to detail. From the clean, organized layout of the gym to the nutritional guidance provided, it's clear that they have put a lot of thought into what their members need to succeed in their fitness journeys. The owner Derek is amazing. His commitment to creating a welcoming and supportive environment is evident from the moment you walk through the doors. Derek is always there with a friendly smile and a word of encouragement. His knowledge and passion for fitness and nutrition are inspiring, and it's clear he genuinely cares about the health and well-being of his members. Hardbat Athletics has exceeded my expectations in every way. If you're looking for a gym that offers a comprehensive approach to health and fitness, and a supportive community to help you reach your goals, this is the place for you. Less

As I’m starting a new fitness routine, my feelings are all over the place - excitement while simultaneously nervous & vulnerable… Hardbat is so refreshing for me. I have been warmly and energetically welcomed by Nina and Iris. They have both been encouraging and helpful - not just for the “work outs” but for the shifts in lifestyle. I’m looking forward to what’s next! Less

We love Hardbat! We started here with my daughter needing to get stronger for figure skating and they have delivered and then some. Our trainer, Nina, is absolutely amazing and so fun, kind and supportive. We really enjoy coming here and my daughter is gaining strength each week and becoming a better jumper thanks to Nina! Less

The folks at hardbat cross fit are great trainers, very supportive, knowledgeable, great motivators, while not letting clients get injured. I would recommend them 10 out 10. They really care and appreciate their people. If you have the time to go to their sessions you will definitely enjoy it, get promising results and find a great community! Less

Really awesome to have found a gym that is goal oriented and focuses on not only building strength but building it safely and with proper alignment. The coaches have a keen eye for proper form and I always appreciate it when they take a few minutes to help refine my technique! Less

Fantastic gym! I joined Hardbat a few months post partum. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to keep up with the workouts; however the coaches have taken lots of time and care to show me options that work for me as I build back my strength and endurance. I feel supported by them and the other members each workout. I highly recommend. Less

I really enjoyed my personal training sessions at Hardbat Athletics. My coach Katie was great. My workouts were just right, neither easy nor hard. I got the results I was looking for. Less

Iris and Alexis are absolutely amazing! Informative, supportive and encouraging, exactly the type of atmosphere you'd hope to find in a gym environment. Less

This is not your normal CrossFit gym and that's a good thing. This gym is for everyone. Due to their use of the Level Method, this gym can take anyone at any level and have them doing CrossFit using different variations of exercises. There is no ego in this gym and everyone is supportive. The coaches are always there to answer questions. If you are working with an injury they'll work around it. Before every class the coaches always asks if anyone has any pain or soreness that they're concerned about. You're not just a scanned card at this gym. In typical CrossFit fashion I can't say enough about this place. HardBat and the coaches Derek, Iris, Nina and Shawn are life changers. Less

I spent about five years training at Hardbat before moving across the country. Hardbat is my favorite gym without a doubt. I've trained at various different gyms across DE, MD & CA none have come close to the experience at Hardbat. Derek and Iris have fostered an incredible community and their programming and coaching is second to none. Less

Trained here back in college. Derek has built a family here of hard work and science backed education to produce real results in his gym members in clients. If youre looking for a place to train hard and have a super solid community behind you, this is your gym Less

I absolutely love HardBat! It’s very clean and the coaches are awesome. They make sure they know you as an athlete. You are informed of the workouts in a week advance so you can plan rest days accordingly. I’ve been here since 2019 and they seem to evolve in right direction. Less

Hardbat Athletics is an amazing gym. Love the coaches and the members. Everyone is very supportive. The programming continuously challenges my skill sets. The coaches have helped me get through a few injuries over the past few years. Less

I was never able to attend a gym because I never felt motivated to show up. These guys are simply amazing! The private sessions are very engaging and goal oriented, I am actually looking forward to the classes. Happy I joined! Less

This is definitely one of the best places to be at. I was a member of Hardbat between 2017 and 2020. It was the first time I had ever been to a gym. The coaches were amazing. They made sure focus was on the form and at the same time pushing me to perform to the best of my abilities. Within no time I had lost a good amount of weight and was in the best shape of my life. Only reason I left hardbat in 2020 was because I moved to a different state. Since then I have been to at least 5 different gyms but never felt the same. Sometimes I think of going back to Delaware just so that I have access to hardbat. Less

My experience thus far has been incredible!! I have no doubt that I will get in the best shape of my life. I have taken all of my classes under the instruction of Coach Iris. She is very much a coach-undoubtedly the standard, and reflection of all the coaches at Hardbat to include Derek, Nina, Lexi, and Shawn. She is always present. She is always encouraging, and she will correct you with a firm, but kind hand. Although I do self-talk to push myself, having several someones-including other members-there to encourage you is a godsend. (Derek, by the way, is the owner! (How many owners do you get an opportunity to meet)? I am 35 years old, and I just had bariatric surgery after umpteenth diagnoses that began with a condition known as NMO (similar to Multiple Scelerosis). I have had two surgeries on my right hip-to include a total hip replacement, a possible second surgery on my left hip is pending, I had an arthroscopy on my right shoulder, and countless other health issues, BUT due to the options to modify the exercises, the lack of pressure accompanied with the encouragement, I want you to know that you can do this at Hardbat!! I have never measured my value by those that don't love me, and if you don't love yourself, getting those endorphins released at Hardbat is a great place to start! Less

Structure, motivation, guidance, feedback, and progress tracking. From the workout, to nutrition and healthy lifestyle, you get it all here. They have an awesome staff as well as a great community. If your even remotely serious about fitness, your guaranteed to get real results at Hardbat. Less

Only gym I’ve ever felt comfortable to come to and since I’ve started I’m here everyday. A close knit family vibe with workouts that will send you home sweating, but happy. Less

I've been going to Hardat athletics for almost 5 years and absolutely love it. I have grown so much with my health and fitness thanks to the amazing coaches and hardbat community ! Less

These folks are deeply knowledgeable about all aspects of fitness, strength training and overall health. The gym is a supportive environment with all kinds of athletes at various stages in their progress. The coaches are smart, sporty but mostly really good listeners to the individual athletes needs. I’ve visited gyms all over the country and this one gets top rating. Clean and well equipped, I’m always excited to walk through the door and get to work! Less

Love love love Hardbat. Started at the end of 2019, and have had fantastic results because of the high quality coaching. I can’t recommend this gym enough 🙌🏼 Less

Great gym and even better community. Coaches are knowledgeable and friendly. They learn about each individual and help you tailor workouts that are appropriate. The programming is great and attainable for every skill level. Clean facility and showers for when squeezing in a workout before work. The open gym availability is great for shift work Less

I've loved my experience at Hardbat. I joined earlier this year and my only regret is not joining earlier. Great schedule of classes, and an amazing cast of coaches who are all knowledgeable and approachable. The members are friendly and welcoming and the gym has a lot of different equipment for those who take class and for those who just want to come to open gym. It's really a great experience. Less

One of the cleanest gyms I’ve ever been to! Hardbat is excellent gym for an experienced crossfitter or someone looking to just add some fitness to their lifestyle. Really amazing coaching staff that prioritizes moving safely and correctly before adding weight, complexity, or volume. Former member for 12 months + and love dropping into HB when I’m visiting Newark! Less

THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE GYM! I’ve served in the military, and had the privilege of working out in gyms across the country as well as in other countries. I have never seen anything like Hardbat! Firstly. they responded immediately! I was scheduled within two days per my schedule. I met with Iris who I was immediately impressed with! We spoke about goals, interests, past and present successes as well as failures. The process was explained, and I jumped in head first. I was paired Coach Alexis! Again, immediate follow-up! Impressive! There was a body scan, range of motion, and a balance check! Technique was taught! There’s so much more I could say, but you have to check it out for yourself! Less

So much fun and they make you feel so welcomed. I was intimidated at a regular gym to workout especially weights. I finally took a step towards a better me. Hardbat Crossfit is helping reach that goal and teaching me how to workout with proper technique and they meet you on your level and help you build up from there. I’m super excited to continue my journey with them and highly recommend this place if you need guidance and coaching. Don’t give up!!! You got this!!💪 Less

World-class facility, equipment, and coaches. In the short time I've been seeing my personal trainer (thank you Coach Shawn!), I'm already experiencing significant health improvements: better recovery time, lower resting heart rate, increased energy. It's the compassionate directness that makes the difference. Less

Really good Crossfit gym. I've been going pretty consistently for the past 3 months, and I'm really pleased with the total experience. Great facility with nice equipment, facilities, and best of all, coaches and staff! The workout classes are well executed and the coaches make sure you're getting the most from your workout without risking harm to your body/wellbeing. Apps help you keep track of your progress and schedule. Great community and overall an excellent experience! Less

Our family started Hardbat earlier this year and we have come to realize how significant a role that both the culture and the people play in our everyday lives. Our daughter 10yrs and son 8yrs old both play travel sports and have been given a confidence boost from Coach Nina and Coach Shawn respectively. Both are amazing role models and exude qualities of positivity, commitment and fortitude we strive for our family. Less

Hardbat is the best gym I have ever been to! I have been able to personalize my training sessions to fit my skill set and fitness goals. My trainer Nina is phenomenal, extremely patient, understanding and caring when working with me. She gives me the confidence to do my best and provides modifications to ensure I'm building strength and not over exerting myself. Additionally, the gym itself has an amazing and friendly atmosphere. The trainers have been fabulous during group classes and have really focused on good form and breathing to avoid injury. Despite your level, you never feel left out, judged, or ridiculed for your skill level; always encouraged and celebrated. Overall 10/10 recommend this gym, best investment I have ever made! Less

If you are looking for a gym to join, Hardbat Athletics is the way to go! It is such a good investment. The workouts are well thought out and individual based upon your level of fitness. The coaches are fantastic as they are knowledgeable in teaching the workout methods and are motivational throughout the workout. The members are upbeat, nice and friendly. Best of all, I just participated in their bod squad nutrition program and lost 16 lbs in 6 weeks. I am so impressed with my progression of fitness over the last 8 months that I can confidently say Hardbat Athletics is by far is the best gym around. Less

The friendliest gym I've ever been to. Everyone there treats you like family and encourages you to succeed. Highly recommend to anyone that finds it difficult to stay motivated. Less

Let me tell you about Hardbat. I’ve had severe back pain for over a week now have tried everything , from chiropractor to medicine . Nothing has helped. So after missing a few classes I finally went and talked to coach Derek. 4 simple stretches later I was pain free. Every single coach is knowledgeable . This gym is really a community. Glad. Coach Shawn talked me in to coming in a year and a half ago. Thanks hardbat Less

Hardbat is an incredible gym and works with different ranges of people it also really helps if your an athlete looking for something to do over the summer. Less

Hardbat is an amazing place! A true community of friendly and loving people. I knew very few people when I first got here and everyone was so welcoming. Its so fun I found myself enjoying working out for the first time in my life. The coaches are so knowledgeable and worked with me to reach my goals. Best gym in the tri state area Less

Hardbat is hands down the best gym I have been to! Programming is excellent and it’s such an inclusive environment. Coaches Derek and Iris work with you to achieve your goals and make sure you’re working out safely. I have never felt so comfortable in a group workout environment. Highly recommended!! Less

I can’t say enough amazing things about Derek and the Hardbat team. They take care to give each client the best and personalized experience to hit their goals - I recommend them to anyone looking to get in shape or get stronger! Less

After three hip surgeries by age 35 with plans for two more I decided enough was enough. I often had pain every day and was told by multiple orthopedic surgeons to not run, jump, or do any significant weight-bearing exercises. My depression was worse, anxiety was worse, and overall I was deconditioned. Have now been with Hardbat and personal training for last several months and I have a life back. I am so appreciative for the support they have given me, personalized workouts, enthusiasm, and a new "family". I never thought I'd be doing squats again in my life let alone with weights. Thank you!!! Less

Hardbat is an incredible gym to be a part of. The coaches truly want everyone to succeed with the best blend of motivating you and ensuring you are working out safely. The members are the best community I’ve ever seen at a gym. Everyone wants everyone else to succeed and encourages each other every day. Less
