This side of 40 has never felt so good.

The only Gym in LA focusing on strength training over 40.

A note from the Founder

Strength training changed my life.

From the moment I picked up my first weight, I was hooked. It wasn’t just about building muscle or looking a certain way—it was about the feeling. The confidence. The control. The realization that I could push past limits I once thought were set in stone.

It became my passion, my escape, my driving force. I trained relentlessly, setting bigger and bigger goals, challenging myself in ways I never imagined. But what started as something personal—something just for me—slowly transformed into something greater.

When I became a personal trainer, everything clicked.

The hours I had spent pushing myself weren’t just for my own growth—they were preparing me for something bigger. I wasn’t meant to just train for myself. I was meant to share this. To help others feel the same strength, confidence, and control I had discovered.

As I trained more people, I noticed something: the ones who needed this the most weren’t the athletes, the young gym-goers, or the people already in shape. It was the people who had tried everything and felt like nothing worked. The ones who had begun to believe that aging meant slowing down, losing strength, and feeling powerless in their own bodies.

I built this gym for them.

For the people who refuse to let age define them. For those who still have goals, who still want to feel strong, energized, and in control. For those who just need the right guidance, the right environment, and the right people to show them what's possible.

This is why my team and I are here.

We are here to support you, to push you, and to prove to you that you are stronger than you think.

We all grow older, but we don’t have to grow old.

This is your gym. This is your time. And we are here for you.

"This is an amazing gym with exceptional programming. I did a ton of homework on westside gyms before signing up here and couldn't be happier. I hesitated at first because I mistook it for a bodybuilding joint It's not. This is about personal fitness. Kris, the owner, has a vision. He's hands on, extremely knowledgeable, kind and down to earth. He makes it safe, efficient, smart and fun for all levels. Atmosphere is super friendly. Space is clean and styled. Cool staff and clientele. After two months, I feel stronger and like I'm on a new path. Exactly what I needed to up my game."
