Gorilla Pit Gym: The premier strength training facility

PITNEWSFACILITYTEAMSponsored AthletesBLOGGEARGORILLA PIT PRIMERby the smartest guys we knowHOW THIS HAPPENEDby Ty PhillipsExcellence, or the pursuit thereof, is not the goal. It is the expectation. Training should be hard. If it isn't hard, then it is not effective. We do not care how athletic you are. We care about your commitment to improving. We do not train to cause pain or nausea. Sometimes they are side effects. We have created a place where blisters are earned, deadlifting is mandatory, and mirrors belong in the bathroom. This place cannot coexist with the current fitness expectation of treadmills and Miley Cyrus. We don't listen to Miley Cyrus. And we don't have treadmills. We have the prowler and we fear it more than the words can describe. Training with us requires a willingness to work harder than you ever have before, not because we said so, but because it is the only way to train.Bryce and I had been lifting in a garage for about six months when my wife said, "where the hell am I gonna park in the winter?" For months Bryce and I had been talking about starting our own gym, something designed by lifters for lifters, not a globo gym opened for Richy Rich to make another profit. Our idea was never profit induced; it was and always has been about getting stronger. This is a no fluff, everything you need, nothing you don't environment. Cardio equipment here is flipping a dirty monster tire until vomit finds its way out of your mouth and onto you shirt and shorts. We created an environment that expels weakness in all its forms. You get what you pay for is a great way to look at us. If you want to socialize for two hours and stare at the teenage girls wearing clothing with words like JUICY on their ass, this is not the place for you. If you want to spend $400 plus dollars a year to walk on a treadmill that is stationed directly in front of a mirror, again, we are not the place for you. If, however, you have the heart and passion to train to get better, to give 100% on the floor, to be the best at whatever sport you train for, then going anywhere else is....well, stupid.COMMUNITYWe value our friends.
