I came here to check out their strength training class because I know I should strength train. I dreaded it. Fast forward 4 months later and I am still here and loving it. It's not easy but the group support is amazing. I had virtually no background in free weights and none in a strongman class but I'm hooked. I am so much stronger now and my running has improved too. Not sure? Try a class.

Here I am at the age of 60 getting into powerlifting. Alan Thrall (YouTube/Untamed Strength owner), encourage me to challenge myself in competition. Untamed has great equipment and the competition bench press that I used at this gym helped in training me to set a state record for my age group (60-64). No long waiting times to use equipment here unlike most commercial gyms. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you check out this gym. Thanks for all your encouragement Alan. Sincerely, James S.

Big fan of this place from YouTube. If you’re into powerlifting, strong man, olympic lifting, this is a great place for clean equipment space and instruction. 100/10 for the music choice.I’m visiting Sacramento for the holiday and am very thankful to have a gym I can go to with a positive atmosphere and all the proper equipment. Went yesterday and today at 6am, someone was there with a smile. Everyone is welcome!Doubly so, as another grunt that got out and opened a buisness I’m happy to see Alan Thrall succeed; what a great gym. If you want to get strong and are in the Sacramento area, this is the place.

Really clean and enjoyable place to work out. Best powerlifting/strongman gym in Sacramento, Ca. I have been a member for almost 4 years.

Just attended a Barbell Medicine seminar this past weekend at this gym. This is Alan Thrall’s gym, who I’ve watched his fun/educational videos on YouTube for years. The place is beyond expectations. If I lived anywhere close to Sacramento, it would be awesome to train here. Alan and his crew are super nice and hard to imagine getting better coaching anywhere. I’ve never done strongman stuff, but the amount of equipment they have for it is unreal and would love to try it. I’ve been to powerlifting gyms around the country and this one is really special. Sac folks are super lucky to have Alan and this gym in town! ????

One of the best strongman gyms in Northern California. Alan is a true legend in the strongman scene.

This gym is amazing. The facility has an incredible amount of equipment enabling athletes to succeed in their strength goals. The atmosphere is encouraging and inspiring. Training here energizes you and makes you want to crank it up a few levels. Just thinking about this place makes me want to chalk up my grip, say my prayers, take my vitamins, and hoist some weight! Untamed Strength indeed.

Alan is the best strength coach I‘ve ever had and he doesn‘t even know I exist, that is a pretty unique skill if you ask me. I hope I can one day train at Untamed Strength

Best free weight gym in town. I was looking to get back into the iron game of squat, press and deadlifts and had a great coaching sessions with the owner Alan. Learned a lot and the gym has a good positive energy. If you are looking to do or learn squats, deadlifts or anything this place is it! Most gyms may have a single squat rack but you cannot use chalk there. I love the chalk bowls and wide range of quality free weights and also lots of great machines like Free Motion and Hammer Strength that you do not see in most commercial globo gyms. Plus they have strongman training classes if you are into that sort of thing.

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. I am the laziest person ever who was looking for some sort of motivation while not overwhelming myself into quitting. I happened to come across this place and sent a message outlining just how lazy I am (Self awareness is the first step towards recovery, rriiight?) and that I am looking for a slow and deliberate way to get my mobility and strength back and how much I hate, hate, double hate cardio. Alan was quick to respond and we set up a few sessions of personal training. I have only had 8 sessions or so, but the difference in how I feel is worth every penny. Nothing in this world usually motivates me out of bed at 5am, but the sessions with Alan are tailored to my needs, specifically to help with injuries while focusing on strength (and maybe a little cardio). I was intimidated to go to a strongman gym as someone who is completely sedentary, but every person I have encountered is either focused on their own workouts or providing encouragement. You will not be disappointed with this place.

Alan is amazing, humble and very very good teacher. In 90 minutes I probably learned more than I have in a lifetime and I am not exaggerating - If you power-lift or are interested in programming or powerlifting in general Untamed strength might be your answer.

Great community, extensive strongman equipment, and so many power cages you're bound to find an empty one. Highly recommended.
