Always great to drop in at CHFP when I’m in town. Friendly, welcoming space with excellent equipment and attentive coaches who are watching your lifts not just your use of equipment.

Anyone who wants to learn the Oly lifts should work w Cara - and if you only need a place to workout, it’s a great gym! But Cara is an incredible coach.
