This is a true one-of-a-kind facility that you won't find anywhere else.The Owner and Staff: Steve is an awesome fella and takes pride in operating this facility but constantly improves the equipment. He is friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable.The Facility: RPG is small garage-style gym but boasts a huge variety of strength equipment, racks, barbell weights, mono-lifts, deadlift platforms, and specialty equipment manufactured by professional brands (Rogue, EliteFTS, Westside, etc...see website for full equipment list). The racks include both bumper and iron plates. Members are aloud to use chalk on the barbells.Features: The gym features a chalk-wall of personal lifting records, a Hall-of-Fame wall, and merchandise for sale. The stereo systems keep the vibe up high; no need for headphones. The gym and its coaches have a very active on social-media. You will also find several competitions hosted here throughout the year.If you are a prospective member: I'd like to mention that anyone can join here; you do not have to be a competitive athlete to work out here. However, this is a niche gym and may feel unorthodox at first compared to big-box commercial gyms. If you are new to barbell training, it can be intimidating at first but they have coaches available and offer personal and group training sessions. Currently there's a good mix of men and women members. Everyone at this gym is focused on their own fitness goals but all share the desire for more strength. You are inclined to do your best here. Great place!

Really awesome gym. All the equipment you need for powerlifting. Owner is super friendly and helpful. Didn’t feel out of place as a raw lifter in what seems like a multi ply heavy gym. Had a great time training here.

I was in town visiting my girlfriend's family and was my first time in the area. I was able to buy a 2 day pass which was perfect. Steve and Amanda could not have been more welcoming as we're all of the regulars. They have built a pretty awesome culture at this gym and I highly recommend it to anyone considering membership. I will be back whenever I am up in the area.Very well equipped and kept, ample parking also.
