I ten out of ten recommend CSP to anyone interested in lifting heavy, staying safe and feeling welcome. I first attended a class at CSP in June 2018 after taking a hiatus from fitness and nutrition for over 2 years. In the beginning my goals were simply to learn the fundamentals of weightlifting and incorporate strength training into my fitness routine. Nine months later I can say this gym has offered me this and so much more. Before my first class at CSP and first meeting Head Coach Joey Cole I'd never lifted a bar before in my entire life. I'd just moved from out of state and was looking to try something new. The atmosphere was welcoming yet focused and I feel I was given the attention needed as a novice lifter for learning the movements as well as the importance of using proper form. The classes are small (8-10 people or less) which allows for individualization of workouts and greater opportunities for coaching support. The environment allows for a great sense of community and unforeseen camaraderie to emerge which also aides in personal accountability (Showing up to class has always been the hardest part for me in the past :P ). Thanks to this gym I have fallen in love with fitness again. I've not only met the goals I originally set out, but I've surpassed them and will continually establish new ones. I feel myself getting stronger and more confident every day since joining. I find myself using the skills and tools I've learned through CSP in other areas of my life and have even expanded my fitness routine as a result. "Going to the gym" has become fun again for me and I really couldn't ask for anything more awesome than that. Come check it out and see for yourself :) read more

Strongly recommend the Cully Strength Project and head coach Joey! It's a great atmosphere with friendly and inviting people. I've tried many different gyms from crossfit gyms to the $15 a month 24hrs gyms. To me Cully Strength Project is the best mix of the weightlifting, cardio, personal training, and team dynamics. Joey's workouts are set up to feel like you're all team and at the same time have your customized plan. Classes never have more than 8-10 people so you get a lot of individual attention every time. It's most similar to crossfit without the ultra competitive environment. Every individual is working towards their own goals and Joey really takes the time to learn what those goals are and how hard to push you towards those goals. He also places a great emphasis on helping everyone learn proper technique so there's never a danger of injury as you push and the weights get heavier. Most of all, I love that my fiancé and I can go to the same gym and feel equally satisfied. She's very new to weightlifting and I've trained as a former college athlete. Despite this difference, we go to class together and both leave having learned something new, improved a technique or two, made gains and most importantly our bodies know we just had a good workout! read more

CSP is exactly what I want out of a gym: a personalized program that delivers results in a safe, clean, and encouraging environment. One of the things that makes CSP a stand-out value is Joey Cole: he is not just a knowledgeable athlete, but a credentialed pro who is constantly improving my form and performance; I trust him completely. I've been training at CSP for 2 months and I am so much stronger and more mobile. On my last test day I added +25% on my bench and over 15% on dead lifts, rows, squats, and other movements. And to Joey's credit: the culture of the gym is rooted in science...my classmates/the clientele are polite, professional folks who, like me, are there to improve themselves: egos are checked at the door, and I think that's a great reflection of the type of person Joey is. That said, with the results I'm seeing, I'm going to continue to do whatever he says... If you're looking to get powerful, look powerful, etc...Cully Strength Project is where it's at! read more

Cully Strength Project is the "Goldilocks" of fitness programs. Like most ex-athletes, I've bounced from gyms to group fitness classes and even gave cross-fit a try (twice), but nothing seemed to fit my fitness goals. Cully strength is a weight lifting based group fitness gym for grownups. No cult-like devotion required, but you can certainly push it there if you're so inclined. Joey is knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about each and every one of us. The workouts, while in a group setting, are tailored to each individual and you leave each session feeling a little bit closer to your specific goals. I joined up last year to get in shape for my wedding, and Joey helped me lose 20+ lbs in a healthy, gradual manner. If you've ever been curious about weight lifting, but cross-fit and big box gyms seem intimidating or not really your scene, drop in and give Cully Strength a try. read more

I whole heartedly believe in the Cully strength Project and Coach Joey Cole. When I started training again at commercial gyms I wasn't making very much progress and I felt lost among all the equipment. After hearing about the Cully Strength Project from a friend, I immediately gained a sense of direction and confidence in my training. Coach Joey teaches proper lifting technique so you can strengthen and stay healthy. My training at the Cully Strength Project has led me to lead an overall healthier lifestyle. The gym environment is welcoming to all, the equipment is quality, and the class availability is great. Highly recommend! read more

He meets you wherever you are at in your fitness journey and helps ensure that you are getting maximal gains safely. It is awesome to chart your progress. You are not going to get a better personalized workout plan than you will at Cully Strength. read more

I joined CSP a few months ago, and love it! It is more than a gym, Joey has created a fun and supportive community, creating stronger and healthier athletes. The workouts are fun and building strength is "easy" with a well thought out program (read: challenging but with great results!). Joey is an amazing coach and athlete, he is always looking out for your best interest and will personalize workouts for whoever needs it. He focuses on technique to make sure no one gets injured, so if you've been avoiding trying weight lifting or need a great new gym - this is your place! read more

Before working with Joey I thought barbells were too intimidating so I avoided them. I spent most of my time on the treadmill and didn't see the results I wanted. I started training at Cully Strength Project about a year ago. Since then I have gained confidence in and out of the gym. I feel strong and capable. The class has different programs of varying difficulty to test you as your skill and strength grow. The vibe of each class is great. Serious enough to get your work done but lighthearted enough to keep a smile on my face. The music is pretty great too!!! read more

Joey and team are excellent! They've created a supportive environment where people of various levels of fitness can participate and feel welcome. The workouts strike a good balance between being collaborative and personalized. I had a pre-existing knee problem, but I always felt care and attention was given to work around it when needed. I can't recommend it enough. The social aspect has been a real motivator for me, seeing the same people for each class. If you stick with it you will see the results! read more

I steered clear of power lifting my entire life because I was intimidated by the bro culture and scared I would hurt myself. A friend recommended I check out Cully Strength Project and it completely changed my life. Coach Joey created a safe, community, fun environment where you are met where you are at, learn proper technique and push past limits both physically and mentally. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to feel strong and confident in their body within a safe environment. read more

I started going to Cully Strength Project after hearing my 14 year old son rave about the training. Joey customizes programs for each individual and makes training not only challenging but fun. He emphasizes technique in order to avoid injuries. My son has been training with Joey for about 6 months. He comes home after training both energized and excited. Becoming stronger has made him more confident and has helped him with his other sports. Thanks Joey! read more

Absolutely fantastic! My husband and I train at Cully Strength Project with Joey twice a week. Joey is very knowledgeable and approachable. Joey has created a personalized regime that is challenging, interesting and effective. There is also a strong sense of camaraderie during the sessions that adds to the enjoyment. I have seen great progress in the health of my husband and myself. I highly recommend giving the Cully Strength Project a try! read more

I've had a wonderful experience strength-training at Cully Strength Project!
