Our Story
Our journey began in 2011, when Tony Sandbothe opened the doors to a small, 75 square foot private strength training facility with just three clients. Since then, we've grown to a 1600 square foot facility, catering to over 100 clients, all through word-of-mouth referrals and zero online marketing. Our success is a testament to our unwavering dedication to excellence and our commitment to doing what's best for our clients above all.
