OMP is the best. This is a no-nonsense gym with the friendliest people. Stone is patient and kind, but will get you outside of your comfort zone to make you physically and mentally stronger. I've become leaner, stronger, and more resilient. Highly, highly recommend.

Stone is a great trainer and the exercises he designed were challenging but super fun! Atmosphere is super friendly and Shiba the dog also makes everything even nicer! I look forward to training every day. I'm so bummed that I couldn't go recently, but can't wait to return when the gym opens!
