Great experience! Visited the gym with a friend who is in the powerlifting class. The vibe is awesome. Laid back and chill. Staff is friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and fun. Good variety of equipment in a clean and well-maintained space. If you want to lift without pretense, this is the place for you.

I just had a beautiful session with Amalia, and I'm on cloud nine! We are home-gym weightlifters, and I've been intimidated by the snatch for a long time now. I booked a session with Amalia and she totally demystified the lift for me within the first 20 minutes. I was so thrilled I could have cartwheeled out of that gym! It is such a pleasure to be coached by a pro - I felt safe and confident through all the lifts. It should also be mentioned that this gym is spotless, and their COVID protocols are rock solid. I'm someone who is probably on the more cautious side about social distancing

I absolutely love this gym! They have great protocols in place for COVID right now. I truly free safe going to the olympic weightlifting class. The trainers are experienced, knowledgeable and pay attention to details. I feel I have gotten stronger and better at technique. I love the atmosphere and the layout of the gym, especially for lifting. I recommend this place!

I've been going to Grassiron 3x a week for about 5 years, primarily for weight training. They are absolutely fantastic. You'll find all sorts of people hereall ages, all sizes, all abilitiesfrom competitive lifters to 75-year-olds wanting to improve their balance and strength. The entire team of trainers puts a focus on form and safety, and they write your program geared toward your specific goals. (When I had a hip issue, they spoke directly with my chiropractor and developed a program based on her recommendations.) I personally hate exercise and am utterly uncoordinated, so it is no less

I've been going here 3 days a week for 5+ years for weight training, and this place is exceptional. (Grassiron's specialty is weight training, olympic lifting, and power lifting, with a focus on form, technique, and safety.) Walk in here at any time and you'll see 20-somethings to 70-somethings at every level of size and fitness. The quality of the place is 100% a result of owners Pattie and Amalia, the team they've assembled, and their training philosophy. Whether you can bench press 220# or you're a mid-sized, middle-aged woman who hates exercise (me), Grassiron has the

I've been doing (Olympic) weightlifting here for ~1.5 years now; I really love the gym and the welcoming atmosphere to people of all fitness levels and goals. I train under Amalia, but all the other trainers I've interacted with are nice and very knowledgeable. Throw in nice Eleiko bars and what more could you ask for?!?
