Everyone who walks through our doors is an athlete. Our definition of an athlete is a person who is trained or skilled in strength, power, balance and agility, flexibility, and endurance. To us, the needs of soccer moms and Olympic athletes differ not in kind, but in degrees.
This is not your normal gym. Instead of isolation machines and rows of treadmills, we use barbells, weight sleds, rowers, gymnastic rings, climbing ropes, kettlebells, and other effective strength and conditioning tools. You do not come in and spend thirty minutes watching TV on the stair climber. Every workout with us is aimed at achieving your goals and bringing you closer to elite physical fitness.
At Heavy Metal Strength and Conditioning, we offer several types of training to meet the needs of everyone who comes to us. For most, our CrossFit group classes are the answer to your fitness needs. For student athletes, we offer sports specific and personalized programming executed in a group setting. We also offer personal training for people with unique needs, or who just want a little extra attention. Click on our Services for more information.
