Strength Gym Designed by Athletes
American Raw Fitness is a Strength Based Gym designed by athletes, for athletes. Equipment provided is top of the line regardless of your fitness goals. Rest assured that no stone was left unturned in providing the best possible atmosphere for your fitness needs. The intention is to purposely take the BS out of commercial fitness, and create an environment that caters to the specific needs of the serious lifter.
Competitive Atmosphere
Owner and Manager Christopher Knight trains alongside all team members. His emphasis is a family based environment. No need to sit in the corner with headphones. You will be pushed to your limits everyday. Strength athletes compete for in house records, and the drive for success is contagious and consistent.
Growth and Education
American Raw Fitness is rugged enough for the most hardcore athlete, yet designed to provide all that's necessary to new lifters. Membership includes courses without extra cost. Courses offered include education with Large Movements (Squat, Bench Press, and Deadlift), as well as general information about different training styles. No need for intimidating atmosphere with awkward equipment. It is the goal for all clients new and seasoned to feel confident in their training, and knowledgeable in their craft.
