I'm about 45 days into my membership and wanted to write a review. I feel like this has been enough time to get a feel for the business and formulate an opinion.
It's hard to condense what I think is important in a review, so please endure this with me.
It's absolutely the best gym experience I've had. I was a High School athlete who often felt overwhelmed at larger gyms because of the variety. I also relied my memory for what form was appropriate. The reason I chose Strength Warehouse was because I wanted the guidance from professionals to make sure my goals are attainable and I'm minimizing risk of injury.
Strength Warehouse is for people of all ages and fitness levels. In every class I attend, we have individuals doing some physical therapy, more focused on completing the movements than stacking big weights. We have former powerlifters stacking on huge weights and pushing for PR's regularly. And there's people like me who have fallen out of shape and are getting back into it, sometimes struggling to do the entire workout.
Strength Warehouse also offers quite a few options. In the morning there are occasional mobility courses. The group training sessions provides a warm up and workout with rep expectations and number of sets. The Strength Training class is more about practical movements and repetitions. That one has become my favorite as it also works up a sweat the best.
Overall - If you care about your fitness, want to receive feedback and guidance on your form, direction on your workouts and have a group of people help you reach your personal goals, reach out to Nate or Megan. They're fantastic to work with, have hired and maintained a fantastic team, and they know what they're...
Read moreI started at Strength Warehouse 3 months ago because I wanted to be stronger. I was looking for a gym that could safely teach me how to powerlift, wasn't full of creepy dudes, and wasn't super focused on only aesthetic gains. I wanted a supportive and knowledgeable environment with lots of different types of people. Strength Warehouse is EXACTLY that. Thier classes are great and you can set your own pace and your own goals, and they help you achieve them. The location is central, the scheudle accessible, and facilities awesome. Plenty of racks and gear for all types of workouts. The coaches Megan, Mitch, Nate, and Brenna are all outstanding, and the other people there are fun, supportive, and fantastic. As a 35 yo woman, I was worried at first about feeling out of place, but about 50% of the class attendees are ladies! And we have all diff ages working out at Strength Warehouse. I absolutely recommend this gym for anyone, no matter your experience level. I am stronger, more confident, and healthier since going here. 10 outta 5...
Read moreI've been a member of 3 other gyms in Bend and the Strength Warehouse blows them all away. The gym does not have the square footage of many of the other gyms in town. But I have never had an issue with waiting on equipment. The classes are outstanding, I went from never powerlifting to finding it enormously gratifying immediately. I enjoy high intensity training and they offer great classes for that as well. The rating for this gym and the reason for this good review are the owners/coaches. Nate and Megan are incredibly knowledgeable in all areas of weightlifting and they are right there for you in group classes to make sure you have and maintain the exacting technique required for powerlifting to make gains and prevent injuries. Another thing that I think can be attributed to Nate and Megan to some degree is the other gym clientele. The group classes are the most supportive I've ever attended. You get genuine support and praise when you accomplish a new weightlifting goal! I couldn't recommend this gym any...
