Rx Strength Training

Heather Fink

Lifting gyms can Be intimidating places, especially for a woman. I started coming to Rx strength training to attend acro yoga classes at equilibrium, but decided to take personal training classes because the staff is so friendly. When you first walk in the space you are greeted by a pride/trans flag and a Black Lives Matter flag. Even though I don’t have one of those marginalized identities, it made me feel like it was an inclusive and empathetic space and set a tone of belonging. The gym is non pretentious, It’s not an equinox and doesn’t pretend to be, it’s in a big warehouse what you get instead are staffed gym hours with actual trainers who can answer questions in case you need help with your form. Most of the time I’m there I see the owner giving private lessons or teaching a class. There are several pieces of equipment that other gyms don’t have that have made weightlifting Accessible to me, I greatly appreciate The ssb bar, when I couldnt lean now to lift a low bar, it made squats possible for me. I also love working with my trainer (John). He has been so patient with me and didn’t let me give up when I was struggling to learn to form for deadlifts. He understood how my body structure made it difficult and suggested a wider stance, which was a game changer for me. Only downside is it’s lack of air conditioner, but summer is short. Glad I did the personal training pack and happy to recommend the studio (and equilibrium acrobatics) to others.

Im wondering if the little olympic weightlifting room with the orange/brownish walls are open for public use or is that a part of the gym normal people cant enter. Because in the video that i saw it doesnt show that room and it only shows the main part of the gym with the grass and the poweracks.
