★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Generation Strong offers some of the most educated barbell and kettlebell training I’ve seen (and I’ve been a lifter most of my adult life, with several coaches and trainers on and off of competition). It’s a community-oriented gym with a welcoming atmosphere. Not intimidating, but also a serious place to learn how to strength train. The members take care of each other and every time I walk in there there is laughter and smiles. Nothing better than exercise, with people you enjoy being around, in a clean, bright, healthy atmosphere of encouragement and empowerment.
March 24 · LeahGeneration Strong played a crucial role in my preparation for multiple Spartan races and, most recently, the OCR World Championship. The personalized training plans, the challenging classes, and the constant encouragement from the trainers were foundational in my success. My results have been better than I expected, and I owe a huge part of that to the incredible environment and expertise at Generation Strong.It's a place where you can truly transform. Highly recommend!
March 14 · Yuriy MakoThis is the only place I've stayed for over a few months. The atmosphere is very welcoming, the trainers are dedicated, and I love the tailored workouts for open gym, which keep me on track. The different options for private training (1 to 1, semi, group) also allow me to experience different techniques and fit my workouts into my variable schedule. I am very happy to be a part of this place! :D
March 12 · KitI would give more than 5 stars.We've been coming here for a little over two years now. We started with a personal trainer, Serenity, before adding group training and solo workouts. The workouts are exactly what you need based on the conversation you have with your trainer.The amount of strength gains in the last two years is incredible. We're really, really happy with all of it. Serenity, Lisa, and Josee all listen, get to know you, and know how motivate you without overdoing. The team is so knowledgeable and the GS community is supportive so you don't feel out of place.They also pair up with the running community as well as physical therapists, so it all feels holistic. We love it.If you're thinking about it... Just do it. 😏Highly recommend.
January 16 · K.B.The best part about working out at Generation Strong is that I've never felt intimidated or like I didn't belong from the first day I walked in. You don't get the territorial gym vibes that are often present at other gyms, feeling like you have to "earn" your spot. You are instantly welcomed, treated with respect, and Serenity honor your goals and meets you where you are at when you first start training. She challenges you to push yourself, but never in a way that makes you feel like you are not doing enough. I've made more progress at Generation Strong in 6 months than I have in years at other gyms.
