Cedar Street is a great gym for everybody and caters to anyone regardless of skill level. There's 0 meathead vibe, and every person that steps through those doors is incredibly supportive. The coaches here are well versed in training anyone from someone who has never even lifted a barbell to those who have been competing for years. The community is incredibly welcoming to all people and is a very safe place for LGBTQIA+. I've been coming here for almost 3 years, and I feel incredibly confident in my body and what it is capable of after the skillset the coaches have given me.

Wow, where do I even start with Cedar Street? This place has been a game changer for me. When I first stepped in, my back was giving me grief every time I tried to do anything remotely physical. Walking, housework—you name it, it hurt.

But thanks to the awesome coaches, I'm practically a new person. They've got a keen eye for detail and really helped me get my form right. As the coaches say, "it's okay if you don't get things right the first time, there's no manual for learning how to use your body." Except there kinda is, because they teach you how, slowly but surely! I never knew learning how to use my body properly could make such a difference. Now? My back pain? Pretty much gone.

I also gotta mention the vibe here. It's not your typical gym scene where everyone's in their own little world. It's more like a hangout. Working out feels less like punishment and more like a social thing I actually enjoy.

In just a few weeks, I've gone from feeling weak and wobbly to feeling super excited about what my body is capable of. I'm lifting, I'm carrying, I'm doing all the things I never thought I could. Plus, I've picked up some cool insights about how my body works along the way.

Seriously, if you're even thinking about joining Cedar Street, stop thinking and just do it. It's one of those things you gotta experience for yourself to fully get how awesome it is.

Cedar Street is a special place. Nick and Joe are kind, knowledgeable, supportive, encouraging, and fun to be around. The gym itself is very clean and the equipment is quality. It’s a very welcoming gym, including the coaches and other gym-goers, which is refreshing! Truly feels like a community.

I have been going to Cedar Street for a little over 2 months, and I am so happy with the environment, the people, the coaches! It was such a pleasant surprise to find a new place to call my gym home. I have had experience in the past with bodybuilding focused gyms that spent a lot of time looking at mirrors, and you don't have that at Cedar Street!

My husband comments daily on my mood, I am sleeping better and I am getting to test my strength limitations (mental and physical) to ensure functional movement in my life outside of the gym.

I cannot say enough incredible things about this community - I am so happy I took the leap!!

Amazing experience from all staff at Cedar Street, Nick has great insight and is really there for your fitness and health needs with amazing coaching/skills. I was only there for a few sessions but they all really made me feel at home in such short time. A really great community to be surrounded by!!
