I have received personal strength training from POW where found Coach Andrew to be emphatic and knowledgeable. The facility is clean and bright. The staff is friendly and non judgmental. I have gained confidence and look forward to attend additional classes soon.

My 7yo takes the PeeWee classes with Coach Lizzie. I could not be happier to bring my kiddo there. Whether it’s after school or day off school. My kiddo comes home exhausted from a full day of playing and meeting new friends.

An incredible space for real growth—physically, mentally, and spiritually. I make it a point to show up every Wednesday night for MVP at Pow Gym. The workouts push you, the community grounds you, and the support keeps you accountable. Highly recommend it for any veteran or athlete serious about becoming better.”
