I came in at noon for a private training session with a friend, we worked with Coach Steve. Coach Steve was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. He put us through some warm up exercises and gave great science backed technique on how to get strong and stay safe/avoid injury. He was great at pointing out where to make adjustments during exercises. There was also a group class going on at noon, which was surprisingly busy for a weekday with around 10-15 people. The class looked pretty fast paced and everyone seemed to be having fun. The gym environment was really great, everything looked clean and organized, and there was even mat space for kickboxing with a heavy weight bag. There are jerseys, gi's, and singlets of elite athletes who have trained here up on the wall. Parking was very easy at this time of day. Great gym, I definitely recommend. read more

Friendly staff and members, great coaching. Really get a lot of value in this gym. The equipment and facility is very nice.

I was looking for a strength & conditioning coach that had experience training high level athletes from a young age. I found that and so much more with Coach Steve and Legendary! My 10-year-old daughter is a soccer player and her coach noted that she need to work on core stability and hip flexibility to get to the next level. We did the initial assessment with Steve and continued with the Foundational Sessions. She absolutely LOVES training at Legendary. We try to get there a minimum 3 days per week, but she would be there everyday if she could. If she's not on the soccer field, then she wants to be in the gym training. She always says everyone is so nice and enjoys all the other athletes no matter the age. Steve and his team are extremely knowledgeable and are very particular about proper form, making sure that everything is done right to avoid injury. My 12-year-old son also started training at Legendary to work on strength, speed and agility. The changes we seen in both our kids in the past few months is awesome! I would highly recommend Legendary Strength for the whole family! read more

If I could do zero stars I would! This company seeks to steal money from people. They advertise a free assesment.... however, they force you to provide them a form of payment before the free assesment. Once you have finished the free assessment they charge you $1,080 automatically without you confirming you want to go with them. When asked for a reimbursement they acted like it was it was an accident. But take almost a month to get it back to u. Then when the bank was checked they only reimbursed $1,025. When asked why not the full amount. They say " it's a processing"!!!!! WHY! WHY! Are we charged a processing fee for a mistake that Legenday strength Co. made? Please find another company that has better payment practices! They are the worst! read more

Steve is an amazing strength and conditioning coach. I haven't set foot in a gym for over 10+ years, so I needed to find the best 1 on 1 trainer I could get my hands on. It's only been a 5 months but I feel stronger already. My posture is better. My form is better. My confidence is better. My life is better. No regrets. It's only up from here. read more

Why I chose Legendary Strength 1. It's actually personal and cater to you. Before you start classes, I had an individual assessment with Steve, where he made me squat, and stretch in multiple ways, so that he can gauge and see my full range of motion, and even diagnosis and see why I lack flexibility in certain areas. After the assessment, he went through the squat, bench, and deadlift, and help me adjust my grip, stance, feet placement, etc all based on the assessment we had. 2. It's educational. From the assessment to now, Steve always explains what we're doing and why we're doing it. I extremely value the WHY. This helps me focus on certain aspect of my lifts, and helps me focus on small improvements. Whenever I feel off, or there's a weird pinch in my back hip when I walk, I address it with Steve, and Steve usually gives me 3-4 exercises and stretches I can do to help alleviate it. If you want, Steve really helps educate me in different parts of my body, and helps me understand why I feel what I feel, and this has added a huge boost of confidence into my workouts. 3. Diverse Workouts. Steve has a set course of exercises to do, all focused on a specific goal, whether it's to increase squat PR, bench PR, etc. It's weird to be doing different workouts, and on test day push 10-20 pounds more due to the variety of workouts Steve puts us through. We're not squatting everyday. We're doing different workouts that work around everything regarding the squats, and different aspects of the squat. It's pretty intense how granular Steve can get, and I think it shows how passionate he is when it comes to strength and conditioning. If you can't do the workout of the day, let Steve know, and he has other options. Steve's an encyclopedia. 4. Vibes. I've only partaken in the class dynamics. Each class has around 4-6 people, and we all do the same workout in our individual space. There's just something about working out with someone that pushes you, and helps keep you accountable. The class has a very 'together we succeed' vibe. We push and encourage one another, and I'm all for it. Overall, Steve knows what he's talking about, and his knowledge has really equipped and encouraged me to pursue bigger numbers. I was never much of a big gym guy, I was mostly just at the gym to burn off the calories I've eaten, but Steve really help change my perspective and helped me take ownership of my health. read more

Simply put this place is world class. I have never walked into a gym and had the owner spend almost 2 hours getting to know me, my fitness journey and goals, walk me through their background, experience and philosophy, and then assess my current needs in order to tailor a program to deliver results and put me on a path to reach my goals. Each workout is unique and carefully structured into a program designed by Steve. He provides the science behind each movement and exercise to facilitate maximize perforce without sacrificing long term health. Power, strength, endurance and joint support are at the core of each workout. With each board meeting (pre workout review and instruction) Steve demonstrates his vast knowledge, experience and education he has acquired throughout his impressive career. His passion for training and genuine care for each athlete makes every workout enjoyable and rewarding. The facility is second to none with top of the line equipment that was designed by Steve and showcases his knowledge and experience in the strength and conditioning industry. There is no one size fits all here. Every workout can be adapted to each persons individual needs and there will be a piece of equipment available to support it.

Over the years, I have worked out pretty consistently at other gyms and with other trainers. After having not stepped foot inside a gym for almost 2 years for obvious reasons and losing a lot of weight and strength from not having the motivation to work out consistently in my home gym, I began the search for a training gym where I could get back into the habit and start increasing size and strength again in a group environment. I actually scoured Yelp for weeks before I found what I was really looking for - a true strength and conditioning training facility that was NOT a CrossFit or HIIT-type gym, which I never liked and was told to avoid from various fitness people I follow. I reached out via their website and was promptly contacted to schedule an assessment with Coach Steve. During the assessment, Steve showed me around the gym, talked about his background and his coaching methodology, and evaluated my specific body mechanics. My time spent during the assessment confirmed that I had selected the right gym and coach, and I signed up immediately without hesitation. I spent my first month in the Foundations sessions where I learned and refreshed my knowledge of the various movement patterns needed to be successful and received custom fit workarounds as they pertain to my body to stay safe and avoid injury. Once I graduated, I began attending the classes on a consistent basis. These are not your typical classes - the workouts are thoughtfully structured and fully coached the entire time. Also, so much thought went into building the gym - it's very clean, organized, and well-equipped with top-of-the-line essentials. And it doesn't matter what your skill level is - everyone is friendly, helpful, and encouraging! It has only been about a month since I started the classes and I have to say that I am shocked and surprised at how quickly I'm progressing. My weight and strength gains are both up and as a hardgainer who struggles in these areas, I am quite happy with the results so far. I have hit personal all-time records on ALL my core lifts - squat, bench press, and deadlift - in such a short amount of time and I'm excited to see what the future holds. If you are looking for results and to level up your fitness game (whether you are a beginner or advanced lifter) without all the nonsense and are ready to work for it in a supportive environment, you must do yourself a favor and check out Legendary Strength Company. You won't find another place like it and your future self will thank you! read more

She is enjoying her sessions and looks forward to continuing. read more

Super clean facility with top notch trainers in the fitness industry. I have been to several gyms throughout the years and this one is definitely high on the list.

Legendary Strength is an amazing facility and Steve is a phenomenal coach. I went to him about 5 months ago with some aggressive lifting goals for a powerlifting competition in March. He took the time to understand my body and my current capabilities and then designed a program for me which allowed me to quickly pack on muscle and add weight to the bar! Starting squat - 365 Finishing squat - 445 Starting deadlift - 475 Finishing deadlift - 525 Starting bench - 285 Finishing bench - 335 This was all following Steve's plan 3 days a week and then one session per week with Steve. He was able to identify weak points and provide specific exercises to improve them, gave great cues for the moves to help me tighten up the mechanics and was just a blast to work out with on a weekly basis! I would highly recommend Steve and Legendary Strength for any lifters that want to get stronger, stay injury free, and have an awesome time! The facility is also one of the nicest, cleanest, well equipped gyms I have ever worked out in. read more

I haven't worked out in years and it shows. Always slow to get back on the "workout train" and hesitant to be around a bunch of usual gym bodies because I don't want the anxiety haha. However, when I stepped foot in Legendary Strenth, all the trainers and staff greeted me with zero pressure and I never felt judged even though everyone else was insanely fit. I was asked what my goals are and how to go about reaching them. I just said I wanted to get rid of my dad bod and revisit the glory days of lean and mean.
