This year has been an incredible year of growth for Beyond Limits. We have grown our gym from 190 to just over 300 members and increased the size of our gym to two (2) floors and 7,000 SF with new pieces of equipment for every type of member. The best part is that the quality of our training and membership has only improved. Our gym is perhaps the most diverse gym I’ve ever known from age, experience, fitness level and sport. I’m thankful for our outstanding staff and membership.
At any given point you can see someone learning to do some basic weight training in the same room where an elite competitor is training to break a PR, and then the veteran stops amidst their training session to offer some pointers to so-called newbie who is just happy to be doing 5 lbs more than the last workout. Progress is progress regardless of scale. We remain humble, helpful and ever-improving.
While most of our members and clients do not compete, we have a great number who do enjoy competiting in strongman, bodybuilding, figure, physique, bikini, running and powerlifting. It’s been an amazing year with even bigger plans into 2014! You can expect more of the same and also growth into competitive CrossFit. If you’d like to learn more about our gym Contact Us to schedule a visit.
