Was looking for a new gym since my old one was getting way too crowded. Tried a day pass for 10$ and knew after one workout I needed to come back.

I was visiting Santa Fe on vacation and ran across this amazing gym. As a competitive Strongwoman it isn’t always easy to find a gym with appropriate equipment! I met the owner and he was extremely helpful and accommodating. This gym was the highlight of my vacation!!!

Not many gyms in the country with this level of equipment and culture. I love an old school iron gym and this gym is the quintessential example of exactly that. Extremely affordable for the weekly pass and definitely a major addition to my trip here in Santa Fe. Cannot wait to get back there tomorrow!
