Fuerza Gym is beyond what someone would need to get fit, healthy & strong. From all the heavy lifting equipment on one side with powerlifting, strongman & weightlifting stuff to every machine & free weights you need on the other. Any piece of machine or equipment you need is here.

I came here last year for one visit to check it out. After leaving i told myself if I ever left Barbell Brigade for some reason that Fuerza Gym was the only other gym I would even consider. Now that I am 2 weeks into my training off a Comp in Dec & a 3 1/2 week layoff following I am extremely pumped that i choose Fuerza Gym as my new home. I got no excuses to accomplish my goals here with everything that is available.

An awesome added bonus is the owner JC is around & is such a cool & chill dude. He takes the time to answer questions & sometimes chat it up a bit. But always there for anyone that needs anything. Never fails. That's awesome! Thanks JC for everything!!💯

I found fuerza gym back in 2020 when it was still operating from the garage!!!! I have always been lifting weights all my life but then I found powerlifting. That gym and thier head coach JC I was able to reach my true potential. I competeted in uspa and was able to win nationals in the 140kg class. I squatted 715lbs!!! Thanks to his help and dedication to the sport. Also I was able to find true love in that gym not all of us can say that but I guess I was just lucky. Overall good gym good people good coaching

I’ve been training at Fuerza Gym since day one, and it has truly transformed my fitness journey. The progress I’ve made here has exceeded anything I ever thought possible, thanks to the incredible environment and supportive community.

I started powerlifting after being inspired by the amazing women lifters at this gym, and I even signed up for two meets—placing in both! The atmosphere is unmatched, pushing me to set and achieve goals I never imagined.

Fuerza Gym is by far the cleanest, most well-maintained gym I’ve ever been to. The owners genuinely care about their members, and it shows in every detail. If you’re looking for a gym that fosters growth, strength, and community, this is the place to be!

I can’t recommend this gym enough! It’s more than just a place to work out—it’s a true community. The owners go above and beyond to connect with everyone on a personal level, and you can really feel the care they put into creating an inclusive, supportive atmosphere. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, the gym's environment fosters growth and camaraderie. Everyone here is not only passionate about fitness but also knowledgeable, making it a great place to learn, grow, and push yourself.

The gym is open 24 hours, which is incredibly convenient. It’s fully equipped with everything you need—plenty of dumbbells, squat racks, and multiple lifting platforms, so there’s no waiting around during busy hours. Whether you're hitting a late-night session or getting up early, you always have access to top-notch equipment.

What really stands out to me is that Fuerza is a Latino-owned small business that truly cares about its community. It’s local, it’s family-oriented, and it feels good to support a place that puts so much effort into making every member feel welcome and empowered.

If you're looking for a gym where you’ll be treated like family and have access to amazing resources, this is it. I’m so glad I found this place!

Best Gym around! Barbells for miles. Once here you'll realize how crappy the barbells are at other gyms. Not only are the barbells great, there's one for just about every type of exercise you do.

The trainers are top notch. All Accomplished and they walk-the-walk. You'll be guided in the right direction if that's what you are needing. Even if you know the path sometimes it's good to get that extra push trainers can give you.

Went in this morning and it's clean, clean, clean. Just like the day it opened and I've been here since day one and not going anywhere. You'll have every piece of equipment needed to help meet your goals..

Doesn't matter if you are a beginner or experienced, this place has some of the nicest members you'll encounter. And if you are experience, this place has the best of the best in the strength game. It's an amazing place!

I’ve been a member at Fuerza Gym since November 1st, 2021, and it has been an incredible experience from the start. Initially, I was drawn to the gym because it was close to home, but I quickly realized how different it is from others I’ve experienced. The quality of the equipment, the cleanliness, and the sense of community make it stand out.

As someone who primarily uses free weights, I truly appreciate the high-quality equipment. It makes a difference not just physically but mentally—having well-maintained equipment allows me to focus entirely on my performance. The gym is always clean and organized. Members take care of the space by wiping down equipment, scrubbing bars, and putting weights back where they belong. The owners are diligent about fixing, replacing, or upgrading equipment when needed, ensuring that everything stays in top condition. A clean environment isn’t just about aesthetics—it fosters a sense of pride in the gym, keeps people motivated, and even enhances fitness performance. Just like a tidy home or workspace, a well-kept gym makes all the difference in maintaining consistency and focus.

The layout is spacious, and within a year of opening, the gym expanded to offer even more machines, especially for bodybuilding. The original setup focused on free weights for powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, and general fitness, which I love. Despite the expansion, the gym maintains a strong sense of community.

One of my favorite aspects is that it’s open 24/7, which allows me to train no matter how unpredictable my schedule gets. I started coming here during my graduate program, and now, as I work on establishing my career, I’m grateful to still have a reliable gym that fits my lifestyle. I usually work out in the mornings and never have trouble getting through my session in a reasonable amount of time. Even during peak afternoon hours, when the gym is busier, the members are respectful and aware of the space. People share equipment, stay efficient with their workouts, and do what they can to minimize wait times, which speaks to the positive gym culture.

The community here is welcoming and diverse, with a mix of beginners and experienced lifters. Because it’s a private gym, you often see the same people, making it feel safe and familiar. No matter your fitness level, you feel like you belong. It’s not just a gym—it’s a community.

What truly sets Fuerza Gym apart is the passion and dedication of the owners. It’s clear they care deeply about their business and the people who train here. They’ve built something special, and I’m proud to be a part of it.
