What brought you to Heavy?

I first came to Heavy when Tony left Golds to start Heavy. I actually think I was, possibly, the 1st workout in the new gym. It was quite different from how it is now. Some mirrors on walls and some weights. Just the way it should have been in the beginning.

What was your first experience like?

My first experience is much like my weekly experience. Laying in the floor in a puddle of sweat wondering why I can’t breathe!

How has it impacted your life?

Heavy has been probably the most consistent part of my life for the last 10 years. It has positively impacted every part of my life, my physical health, mental health, relationships & friendships.

What sets Heavy about from other gyms?

I think heavy is different for a few reasons. A) the people create a very welcoming positive supportive community. B) the training is top shelf, workouts are always building upon one another. C) Burko. 1/2 trainer 1/2 therapist gives his best every training session.

What keeps you coming back?

I think I come back because it feels like home. People, training, trainers all work for me. I like that it’s a habit in my life. I’ve tried other gyms for short periods, for various reasons, and I always feel home at Heavy. It’s not for the faint of heart or people we want to put in the motions but it is for me.
