Beyond Strength 💪

Training at Beyond Strength really brought back my love of strength work and my confidence in myself. I joined Beyond after losing a lot of physical strength over the past couple of years, hoping the team and classes would be able to help me gain some of it back. After consistently training for a couple of months, I went through my first "testing week" and saw hard evidence of the progress I had made - the weights I was using for reps had gone up, I was faster on the rowing erg, and my maximum bar hang time had DOUBLED. Even though I'm moving out of the state of Virginia, I know the lessons I learned at Beyond will stick with me throughout my strength training for the rest of my life. If you're looking for a gym to join where you'll actually see long-term results, and you'll have the best possible team of people at you're back, definitely check Beyond Strength out - they're the real deal!

Before I started at Beyond Strength I pretty much only did cardio workouts. But I really wanted to add in strength/weight training. As someone who loves group fitness, I had tried some of the bootcamp and strength style boutique workouts before but always struggled. The classes were large and high energy & the coaches good cheerleaders - but they didn’t actually teach proper form or technique. Half the time I didn’t even know what move they had called out and what I should be doing. (I even ended up pulling a muscle in my neck during one workout!) Enter Beyond Strength! The perfect combination of group fitness and personal training. The small class sizes allow for the awesome coaches to really pay attention to what you’re doing & help with form/technique. The fact that you’re with a group and not in a solo session creates a fun and motivating environment. The community is so welcoming and the coaches have a wealth of knowledge. As someone who never had a ton of upper body strength, seeing myself do rounds of push ups, lift heavier weights, and push myself mentally + physically has been extremely exciting and rewarding.

How amazing is it to win something, and even better when you win something that continues to surprise you? I won a year of Beyond Strength membership for myself and my husband and perhaps I should be writing this review about myself and my physical and emotional journey the last year. But I’m not. Instead, I’ll ask you to imagine a 45-year-old man who: Has Lyme’s arthritis, with the same painful symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis Has Spinal Stenosis Has Degenerative Disc Disease Has had a Laminectomy involving 3 discs Has had 4 meniscectomies, 2 on EACH knee (1 caused by just doing A squat) Who has a love of good ole’ fashioned “bad-for-you” food (who doesn’t!?), which has helped him be on an on and off rollercoaster with his weight Would you imagine that he could do box jumps, Copenhagen planks, deadlift 405 lbs. or squat 295 lbs.? Before we started this, he could not RUN, do a sit up, SIT on a row machine, could not do a body weight squat without fear of causing another meniscectomy. Beyond Strength has not just gotten my husband and I back in shape, it has given my kids an energetic dad that can play soccer with them, that can fall down without getting hurt, that can live an active life with his family again. It has changed the things that we do together as a family and I will forever be grateful for that gift from this gym and the personalized approach they take for each person. THANK YOU BSP FROM OUR WHOLE FAMILY!

Feb 2021 They have to challenge me though...I'm afraid my diagnosis precedes me...well organized, clean, considerate staff though... March 2021 Challenge accepted! They have upped the ante! Especially today, I felt the burn (sweating bullets- or what I call bullets)! So appreciate BSP! They won't let me settle, but keep "upping the ante!" I like it! Always up for the challenge!
