New personal milestones are hit every day.​

1,076 people*

That’s the number of people who achieved their first-ever barbell squat training with us!

*Since our opening in October of 2022

Personal milestones like these are the culmination of consistency. By dedicating ourselves to learning technique, we build confidence in the movements and make sustainable progress. 

Many first-timers start with bodyweight, progress to dumbbells or kettlebells, and graduate to the barbell in only a few sessions.

We’re not about pushing you beyond your limits. We’re about getting you ready (for when you’re ready).

At Recess Fit Club, you’ll be empowered with the tools to feel strong in your body.

Learn your way around the gym

Build the equipment skills that make strength training feel safer and more approachable.

Strength training equipment can be very intimidating when it’s unfamiliar.

A focus of every class includes:

  • Setting up equipment for safe use

  • Learning how to find a weight that is appropriate for you

  • Learning techniques to maintain quality of form as the exercise increases in intensity

  • Learning modifications to help you move pain-free

As you become more familiar with the equipment, you’ll build the awareness and practical skills to navigate the gym environment safely and with greater confidence.

Check out the Get Stronger class to get familiar with barbells, or take a look at the Lifting Fundamentals course.

We are committed to making this space welcoming to every body.

Every individual should feel safe and respected in the gym. 

Our space is designed with gender-neutral bathrooms and changing areas.

We also offer queer-led programming, like Queer Lifting Fundamentals and Queer Workout Club.
