Proving Grounds Strength & Konditioning is an excellent gym with great facilities in a cozy, low-key workout environment. It is very DIY but has everything for a full workout, featuring a great range of equipment from machines to strongman gear. The gym is especially recommended for those competing in powerlifting, weightlifting, or strongman, as well as for later intermediate and advanced gymgoers. It provides an excellent alternative to busy public gyms. The 24/7 keyed access is super convenient. The owners are very flexible, patient, and helpful. The gym is located in the iconic Russell Industrial Center. While some machines are a little dated, they are still functional. The environment is described as making people feel like they are home, with chill members. It is a place with tons of equipment and space to do whatever type of workout one prefers.
Great atmosphere, equipment, and variety of machines. I was allowed to visit this gym for the first time to try it out and definitely just turned into my new gym! 10/10

Great powerlifting gym. To people used to commercial gyms, powerlifting gym is a bit of a culture shock. Having seen a few now, I can appreciate this is a very well run version of a powerlifting gym with all the pros and cons those entail.
