Porshia, the gym’s Director, is a Stongman and Powerlifting competitor.

She encourages her clients on their fitness journey by providing a strong foundation for achieving their goals. You feel stronger and more confident after spending time with her. You feel supported, cared for and heard, but most of all you feel like you matter to her, that your success is her focus, that your friendship is valued.
Bralter Stewart is a personal trainer and myofascial release specialist. Bralter is empathetic, caring, gentle and kind. He can sense imbalance in your body from a distance, maybe a subtle move you make while lifting, or a tilt to your hip that you never noticed.
