I'd like to meet:

The unmotivated. The weak. The ones that always have an excuse for why they have not yet reached their goals. You know the type of person Im talking about. The could have been, the should have been, the almost was something type. Are you one of them? Or do you grab your dreams by the balls, take control of what you want, and go after it? Do you have the heart, determination, drive, persistence, perseverance, and that animal lust for that which will undeniably be yours one day? Do you want to be big? Strong? Can you muster up enough drive and ambition every time you are in this gym to give your all?

PUT SOME ATTITUDE IN YOUR WORKOUT!
This is not your ordinary family fitness center! The Iron Playground is a 3,000 square foot GYM where what you see is what you get! No swimming pools, no courts, no group exercise classes and no steam or sauna. What we do have is plenty of free weights, commercial grade weight machines, cardio equipment as well as Olympic Lifting, Power Lifting, and Strongman training implements. Truth is, you don't need all the fluff to build a great body. It is clean and well equipped with a competitve, motivating enviroment. Thats the way it should be if you're serious about you're training...

YOU WILL NOT TRAIN HERE UNLESS YOU ARE SERIOUS!

In sports, as in life, those who have achieved their goals have done so because they can walk the walk. We put endless time and effort into what we do because we love it. Normal humans may think we are just big dumb meatheads but I think it's the other way around. Instead of being one of the many mindless sheep walking the planet calling themselves humans, find the passion inside you and go after it. Everyone has dreams, but those who go live them are not only lucky but they have an animal instinct inside them. They are always pushing and striving. They are never satisfied with their latest achievement. They don't want a trophy. They want to win! At the Iron Playground, we believe that if you want to be the best, you have to train with the best. You won't win if you don't train like a winner. There's always the motivation of wanting to win, everybody has that. But a champion needs, in his attitude, a motivation above and beyond winning. To be a champion you have to train like there is no tomorrow ... When you are tired, you train harder. When you are weak, you push yourself. Don't take anything for granted and don't you dare train like a sissy. You want to be the best, you train to the max Balls to the wall ... There is no secret to any of this. If you want to win, plain and simple, you work for it. Because

YOU BETTER BELIEVE YOUR COMPETITION IS!

Want to be the best at your sport? You can't train like this anywhere else.
