This gym has been a true game changer. I started working out according to the Starting Strength regimen in late January/early February, and the transformation after just a few months has been dramatic. I'm not so young, so it's not easy for me to gain strength or muscle, but the Starting Strength recipe just works. The attention to detail, supervision and additional weight for each workout just isn't something you can replicate on your own. I have to admit I was skeptical for the first month or so. But last weekend I got some concrete proof--I ran the Broad Street Run with my usual group of friends and was able to beat my personal best time (over 10 consecutive years!) by more than 5 minutes. And that's with basically no training at all EXCEPT for Starting Strength!! So no practice runs, no weekend sprints, just lifting for the past 4 months at Starting Strength, and I beat my best time from even 10 years ago?? That's an eye-opener. Anyway, I can only ask you to try them out for a month and see if you find something similar, and if you see me there, please come up and say hi! -Jeff read more
