Overall, their equipment selection was pretty diverse, and they seem to have enough to satisfy their

business level.

Equipment available- They had a wide variety of equipment, including the basics, a lot of resistance machines, free weights, rings (pull-ups/dips), some boxing/MMA implements like the dummy, plyo

boxes, bands, a tire flip machine, battle ropes, and an air bike.

The only thing I didn’t see here that I would have liked to is a GHD machine. Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that they do not permit the use of powder chalk in the gym, although they do have liquid

chalk for sale at the desk.

Adjustable barbell weight increments- For regular plates, you have the 2.5, 5, 10, 25, 35, and 45 pound increments. For bumper plates, you have 5, 10, 25, 35, and 45 pound increments. They also had a few

random kg plates, but they’re primarily in pounds.

Fixed weights- Fixed barbells come in the straight bar variety, and there’s a full rack of them differing by 10lbs up to 110lbs. Dumbbells go up to 125lbs with the regular increments between weights (usually 2.5lb increments for lower weights, and 5lb increments for higher). Kettlebells go heavier than I’ve seen in most gyms, and they have a few balls and plyo boxes to choose from as well.

Reracking- Reracking was pretty good overall. There was one guy here that just used a bunch of random stuff and never put it back, but every gym has their Lazy Larry.

Mirrors- There were ample mirrors in the studio and in the free weight sections.

Proportions of equipment available- Proportions seem pretty good. Most equipment in the gym was used, and none of it seemed to have a line. It’s sectioned off based on lifting style, and no single area

seemed to be busier than another.
