Strength Camp

If you want to get strong, Strength Camp is the place. Atlas stones, tires, kegs, all the strongman equipment you need, all the powerlifting with barbells, kettlebells, squat racks, turf, etc. Look no further for excellent strength training and great people. Has a strong community vibe.

After spending several years as a Crossfitter (and don’t get me wrong, I LOVE CrossFit), I have fully made the switch to Strength Camp. To me there are two major differences:
1. Programming is planned for one year. Each month focuses on something different, and each week and day are aligned to that goal. This is a huge difference to me because it gives consideration to injury prevention, recovery, and plans your gains over a one year period.
2. Each workout is focused in three segments: Structure, Strength, and Speed/​Endurance. You could argue that CF does the same things, however, this is different. Structure includes the dynamic warm up, but there is a more intensive focus on stretching specific areas. Every day it’s different, so you eventually cover every inch of your body.
3. (I know I said 2, but really, there are 3). Small class size. I go to the 6 or 7am class, with only a few members in the class. If you attend a Saturday session (super fun and different!), or a later class with more participants, you will find many more coaches. They keep the ratio low so you get a lot of individualized attention.
Strength Camp has other activities going on such as training high school, college, and professional athletes, plus their Open Gym on Mondays that draws people from all over the world, but I never get that any of those sessions or athletes are more important to the coaches than my own personal goals. As a matter of fact, I feel like my outstanding coaches (Shannon, Mark, and Chris) care more about my goals than I do sometimes. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.
