Customer Review:

At a time where everyone is worried about contracting COVID-19, I feel as if The Gym Pod is the perfect solution. I have not once worried about my safety as every time I walk in there it is spotless. At the moment I would not feel nearly as safe working out around others in a much more public gym; however, The Gym Pod provides a unique experience where one can workout in full isolation in a very clean environment. Thank you for everything and providing a safe place to workout.

Customer Review:

You come to The Strength Yard to find a place to lift, but instead, you find a community; a friendly, down-to-earth, unpretentious group of people who really know their stuff. Everyone here is very kind, and it shows in their attention to detail and to their clients. The team has an unrelenting focus on quality and good form/technique, so the instruction here is top-notch, much more professional and meticulous than you’ll get at a chain gym.

Since I started PT here, my persistent back-ache (familiar to all women) has completely vanished, I actually have visible glutes (yay booty) and it’s a joke at my workplace that I have the strength of 10 men. More than that, I love coming to the gym and I’m happier and healthier for training here with Ed - I totally recommend this place! They are very girl-friendly, and you will meet several amazing ladies who lift heavy and look amazing while doing it, so I would encourage any woman to give it a try.

The training is thorough and for every session, I feel that there is always something new to learn. What makes Legends great is the fact that the coaches really have their eyes on u throughout the 1 hour session and will not let you feel that you are just going through the motion.
