About us

Two lifelong friends have made the heart and mind a focal point in our lives. Their story is as unlikely as they come. Daniel and Cliff lift weights together nearly every day of the week, but Daniel lives in California and Cliff is in Illinois. They live on opposite sides of the country, and these best friends are opposites in many other ways too. Yet strength training unites them through the decades. We are opposites and yet the same… That's our magic.

Arnold the living legend

Having the chance to meet and workout with Arnold has been the dream of a lifetime. Cliff and Dan have met Arnold a few times and each time is its own special magic.

Inspiration comes from everywhere

Back to basics

We make sure we understand how every movement feels to our mind and our bodies. Our mind and our spirits are engaged before we touch any weight.

Quality equipment

Having the right equipment is key. We take the time to evaluate each piece that is added to the gym to ensure it adds value for our home before we work it into our routines.
