JD and Gaylynn have wonderful, very useful equipment and respectful gym members. However, they are…read moreterrible humans in general and very much so less than professional. I was a member there from 07/2019 - 02/2020. I will detail my experience: At first it was a great environment to be in, but it went downhill FAST. It started with Gaylynn being a gossip and sharing a story about a woman who no longer went to their gym. Knowing the woman today and having heard her side of the story, what Gaylynn said about her was absolutely cruel, slanderous, and potentially reputation-ruining. It kept getting worse after this. I would regularly witness JD have full meltdowns directed at a few members, screaming and yelling at them. According to my records, the first time I saw this behavior was the end of August 2020 with him ending the argument yelling, "you'd be nothing without me". This member has since left, as well, and is at a reputable gym further north doing AMAZING. The yelling only continued and eventually made its way to the group of girls I trained with. (There is also a Yelp review chronicling this exact behavior). My group of girls had a group chat on Facebook that we would regularly talk on about random things from clothes, to what time we'd be at the gym, to, and mostly notably, JD's meltdowns. I'm sure it's not the first time, but the first time I have in my own records, but at the end of December 2019, he screamed at a mother over the phone because he was watching the cameras and the child was out of the play pin. He has known the father for a much longer time and had a very good relationship with him when this happened. I had heard previously that JD has a problem keeping women powerlifters in his gym, but experienced *why* for myself during this time. During the time I was there he offered scant coaching, from my perspective, to the girl group. I'm not sure if this was intentional or if he truly thought a group of very inexperienced powerlifters were coaching each other appropriately and offering good cues. While I was there, I also experienced JD's constant conspiracy theory talk and hateful rhetoric. Although he does not post conspiratorial issues on his social media accounts for FSC, he does post about them on his own social media and frequently talks about them in the gym. I'm glad I (accidentally) didn't sign a 12 month contract with him. When I left, I left a professional note (attached) about why I was leaving and the key. I paid him what was due. I was not disrespectful to him or his wife. I am way better off physically, and mentally since I left this gym. I have added over 200 lbs to my total and am at a gym that does not have these types of issues. Even with what seems like the ideal way to leave a situation, JD still surprises me with his maliciousness. I have been coaching a young girl (130 lbs soaking wet, happy, unassuming, and timid) who has become a friend to me for around 6 months. After her first competition, she, on her own volition, decided to put her trust in this man and join his "open gym" which includes bringing your own programming for $40 a month. She was on a 3 month contract. Spoiler, she only made it to a month and a half before he kicked her out: We were in the process of switching her training from linear to a more conjugate-styled training. I am a new coach, she is a new lifter, so there are bound to be mistakes in set up which we tackle head-on as she sends me videos via text in real time. JD even helped her set up one day, which I was relieved about. A few days later, my athlete texts me saying "he knows you're my coach. He's saying you're trash and good luck with my total" in addition to "he intimidates me" and "I'm pretty sure he hates me". I messaged him a very professional letter (attached) and he blocked me from both Insta accounts. The very next morning, she called me crying saying he kicked her out saying her "set up was dangerous" rather than finding a logical solution. He also stated that she was disrespectful which I've never known this girl to be.

I felt welcomed within the first 5 minutes, and they don't have any kind of aggressive sales tactics. If you like it, you can sign up for a membership. This made me feel way more comfortable about singing up for 11 more sessions. All in all, the people were great, the workout kicked my butt, and I had so much fun!!

They opened in the middle of the pandemic, but that really has not stopped their growth of clientele. I'll start with safety. Everyone is spaced out and has their own machines and dumbbells to use. They do a cleaning after each class and you have to wear your mask to move about the class or be in any other space of the building. I have always felt very safe while in there and I am one who is definitely paranoid about the virus. Now, moving on to the workouts. It's basically a high intensity work out for an hour. You spend 15 minute increments on the floor with weights and on the treadmill- two times for each. No class is the same and no instructor is the same. I love that because you're getting a different experience every time you walk in the door. Your body will constantly be challenged because of this also. I will say that each instructor is very motivating and great at pushing you to be your best you inside and outside of the classroom. None of that "earn what you eat" mess. That's the number one thing that keeps me coming back. I've been to a lot of other gyms in the city and this one takes the cake. Check them out!

Consistently when we show up there are dumbbells, 45lb plates, random deadlift bars, etc all over the place. It's incredibly clear not a single person, staff, or member, cares about the quality of this gym. Plates are never reracked, always left in the bars for you to pick up after someone. It takes 5 minutes just to find a 5lb plate. It's just an all around mess. Not to mention when we signed up we were lied to straight to our faces. We were told there was free garage parking with our membership... lol nope. I've also never been to a gym where there's not a single employee there even after 6:30am. The bathrooms barely work, smell, and are just as unclean as the gym itself. Also they haven't had a working A/C in months! It's middle of the summer and it's consistently 80-85 degrees inside the gym. Do not go or join this gym, it's an absolute scam and the people who run this business should be embarrassed. I promise you these pictures don't do it justice just how cluttered and disorganized this gym is.

I had previously briefly tried a CrossFit gym elsewhere and had not enjoyed it and quit due to injury. I like Power Performance for the coaching (which challenges you while scaling to accommodate your limitations), the community (a lot of nice people), and a very positive environment. The two owners (Larry and Alicia, a married couple) take pride in their business and both coach classes regularly. This is not an intimidating place; it is friendly and encouraging. I was intimidated to try CrossFit again, but I shouldn't have been about Power Performance! I've noticed that people from other gyms who "drop-in" to work out always have positive things to say about this gym. In the beginning, I did "on-ramp" with Larry, which is series of sessions to teach you the exercises you need to participate in class. I didn't need all the on-ramp sessions due to the bit of weight lifting I had done, and I moved into regular classes and was off and running. Since then, I've gotten stronger, more flexible, and made some new friends. This gym is a part of the community and participates in things like food drives and has social events. When the gym had to close for COVID, they loaned out their equipment to their membership. When the gym comes up in conversation with friends, I always recommend Power Performance!
