Why Authentic Strength

Authentic Strength Fitness & Performance Center was created in response to the ongoing need for actual results. Seeing the ineffectiveness of traditional gyms and their training methods, Authentic Strength was formed not only as an alternative, but as a solution.

What's the Difference

While your experience at Authentic Strength will differ in many ways when compared to most gyms, we would like to point out a couple of key differences in our services and training methods.

First, we are a results-driven facility. This means we don't simply want you to have a gym membership, we want you to actually achieve the results you desire, live healthy, and have an improved quality of life. And we believe that the best way to achieve this, is by having a plan. It can be very frustrating, not to mention unmotivating, to go to the gym each week with no real, designed plan of achieving results. We know time and energy are your most valuable assets; don't waste either one by not getting results out of your gym membership.

Second, we don't take lightly the fact that we give advice and instruction concerning your health and physical well being. The exercises we teach, strategies we employ, and equipment we use are all based on education and experience. We very strongly believe in proper and pain-free movement as the basis of your training. Every member, regardless of specific goals, is taken through a full movement screen as the basis of their program design. We propose (for all ages and abilities) that you must be able to maintain (or regain) a certain level of movement quality in order to perform the most beneficial types of exercise and to make a positive impact on your quality of life.
