Strength is Our Specialty
In each Strength Code session we promise to…
Make it Quick
Unlike other gyms, we don’t want you to come in more, we want you to come in less and get more out of it. We promise to make every workout 30 minutes or less, so that you can live your life
Make it Safe
We take our job seriously! We believe that we have a responsibility as a Trainer to lead, guide and educate our clients. Our client is putting their trust in us and in that position we have the power to influence their lives. We are mindful at all times of the client’s well being and ensure each workout is safe and productive in helping them achieve their health and fitness goals.
Make it Count
Many exercise systems work on the theory that more is better. We believe that meaningful exercise is better. We are committed to providing excellent service by optimizing the workout for each individual client every single session. We provide only high quality, meaningful exercise, backed by science and experience. We don’t count reps, we make the reps count.
We believe that strength is the foundation for true health and fitness of body, mind and spirit. We provide a place for you to get the strength training you need, in the time you have.

Joe Altamirano
CPT/Strength Training Specialist
“Strength training is about more than showing off buff, toned muscle—it’s about slowing down the aging process, improving mobility, stamina, and overall health. That said, I do enjoy beating kids 20 years younger than me at dodgeball! Read More
