The Resistance Gym

Incredible atmosphere of coaching - if you want to be challenged and supported while becoming a stronger, more confident you, I recommend this gym with all my heart! Classes and drop ins are both worth your while

I highly recommend the Resistance Gym to anyone interested in strength training, from absolute beginners to competitive lifters. It has awesome values of inclusivity and accessibility which it actually delivers on. The space (with no mirrors) is a refreshing break from toxic fitness culture. Mandy (the owner) is extremely knowledgable about lifting technique and proper form, including expertise in working with larger bodies and folks with accessibility needs, which is so rare to find in a trainer. She showed me ways to strengthen my injured knees that didn't cause them to flare up, when multiple physical therapists and trainers were no help. It blew my mind! She also had tools and options for me to lift weights safely with my post-surgery hand. I didn't even know I could lift weights without using my hand! The other cool thing about this gym is that there's no assumption that accessible equals easy or boring. With the right form and equipment I was able to lift a lot more weight than I thought, and left feeling strong & empowered. There's also an awesome community and fun events. The only downfall is that I don't live closer!

I joined this gym in November 2021. It has been a wonderful, supporting, chill, and welcoming space for me to get stronger.
The owner Mandy is super chill and easy to talk to. They have great specialty powerlifting bars and strongman equipment to play with. Come join us and work on your lifts. First class is free!

I love this gym! After having my first kid in February, I had been looking for a space to workout, preferably in group classes. I stumbled upon this wonderful place and it has been great so far. Mandy has created a body positive, LGBTQ friendly workout space and leads our classes with humor, compassion, and expertise. She has more than accommodated my different physical abilities as I heal from a c-section and work on getting my stamina back up. The equipment is all new and I love the group class atmosphere and workouts. I'm so thankful this is nearby!

If your looking for a gym that’s all inclusive, welcoming, and supportive then Resistance is for you! This gym is amazing! If you like to work out alone, in groups, go fast, go slow, go heavy or whatever; they have a wide variety of options. All the members are hella welcoming! Everyone is so supportive and wants everyone to succeed in whatever their goals for movement are. They have classes for lifting, book studies to learn about body positively and what it means to be anti diet, they have youth classes, adaptive equipment for people with injuries or disabilities, and fun events like pool parties wear big girls can feel empowered to wear bikinis! I can’t say enough about how wonderful the resistance is! This place helped me to feel more confident and know that I’m good enough no matter the size of abilities of my body!
