I was visiting from out of town for work, and I needed to find a place to work out. Determined to find a place that wasn't a commercial gym, I found K&M Weightlifting on Google Maps. From the few pictures of the gym I was able to see, I already knew that I had to train here, and it was pretty much the only gym in the area that was real gym. I gave Mary a call, and even on the phone she was so warm and accommodating that it just made me feel welcome even though I hadn't stepped into the facility yet.
Flash forward, I arrive to the facility and I'm greeted by Kevin (who runs the gym with Mary), and shows me around the facility. The first thing I notice is how clean and organized everything is; unlike typicial commercial gyms where plates and equipment are strewn all over the place, this gym is taken care of not only by Mary and Kevin, but the members as well. Even the floors are clean!
This is mainly a weightlifting gym, as there are eight, 8x8 platforms with a plethora of weights and bars. I myself am a powerlifter, but even still they have a bench, three squat racks (which you can also bench in since they have plenty of standalone and incline benches), and you can deadlift on of the eight platforms. So safe to say, this gym is powerlifting friendly as well. They also have a turf with some sleds, kegs (strongman), and specialty bars as well (safety squat bar, multigrip bar, ez-curl bar, etc.) So if you're into strength and conditioning, they have equipment for you as well.
Kevin and Mary have a wealth of experience, knowledge, and certifications that can help you in the world of weightlifting, powerlifting, recovery, and just fitness overall. If you're local and looking for a real gym, coach, or both, K&M is the place to go to.
TL;DR: Real gym, nice owners who know their stuff, plenty of equipment, clean. read more
