A serious gym you can walk into
Seventeen years on Highway 71. Competition racks and a two-time Texas's Strongest Man on the floor — and a 26-station machine room for everybody else.

Most people here are not powerlifters
That is the part a gym with our history has to say out loud. The biggest department in the building is the machine floor — 26 stations, every one with a seat, a pin and a diagram on the side. There are 11 cardio machines. Most of the room, most of the day, is people doing perfectly ordinary training.
Nobody is going to watch you. It is a private gym, not a chain, so the floor is quiet even at six. No class to keep up with, no screen ranking you against a stranger. And because members have their own code, you can come at five in the morning or eleven at night, when the building is yours.
What is in the building
Coaching
Strength & Conditioning
Compound lifts taught properly, then loaded over time. The base everything else is built on, whether you are chasing a number or just want to carry your own bags.
Powerlifting
Squat, bench and deadlift, programmed toward a meet or toward a personal best. Trained on competition racks and calibrated kilo plates so the number is the real number.
Weight Loss
Training and eating handled together rather than separately, built around what your week actually looks like. No fads and no meal plan you will abandon by Thursday.
Diet & Nutrition Coaching
Practical nutrition counselling alongside your training — what to eat, when, and how to keep it going on a normal schedule.
Sport-Specific Training
Off-season and in-season work built for the demands of your sport, including the speed, agility and jump testing to measure whether it is working.
Speed & Agility
Acceleration, change of direction and vertical work, measured on the Vertec rather than guessed at.
