My name is Daniel Mays, and strength training has been part of my life since I first walked into a gym at 16. What started as a challenge quickly became a passion rooted in discipline, growth, and pushing beyond limits I once thought were impossible.

I found my love in competitive powerlifting, chasing personal records and testing myself on the platform. In 2022, a knee injury during competition forced me to step away from the sport. That setback changed everything. It showed me how deeply lifting mattered to me — and how essential proper recovery is for long-term strength and performance.

The journey back taught me that true strength isn’t built only under the bar. It’s built in recovery, resilience, and refusing to quit. During that process, I discovered strongman — a sport that reignited my competitive drive and deepened my respect for what the human body is capable of.

This gym was built from that experience.

Our mission is to create a space where strength, recovery, and community come together. A place designed for everyone — from beginners starting their fitness journey to dedicated lifters and competitive athletes.

In the short term, we are focused on building a welcoming, high-quality training environment for our local community. Long term, our vision is to bring clinicians on-site to provide sports rehabilitation and therapy, helping members train smarter, recover properly, and sustain their strength for years to come.

This isn’t just a gym. It’s a community built on growth, resilience, and the belief that anyone willing to put in the work can achieve more than they ever imagined.
