TESTIMONIALS

I've been working with Rafe at BSP for four years now. I wanted a more focused style of training. I had also experienced life with some injuries, so I needed professional guidance. I met Rafe Teich, and I chose to join because of him. He has years of knowledge and experience. Not only in competition, training, nutrition/supplementation but, also in leadership. His perception of life is always realistically positive and he always has a great solution to every problem. In many ways Rafe is a mentor and you can see it in the relationships he's built with his members. BSP has built a community where everyone is welcomed. I love it so much that I’ve also involved my children/family in personal trainings, classes and competitions. The training I have received has incorporated mental and emotional support aspects to the program. Hard work, self discipline and accountability are necessary. BSP gives you all the tools, support and guidance to successfully lead you to your goals. I have maintained a weight loss of over 65 pounds and so many personal goals have been achieved in the process. This journey for me was mental and emotional before it was ever physical. My ultimate goal was to be overall healthier and I've taken this one day at a time. If I was able to juggle real life with kids and a busy career, and still accomplish my goals, then I believe anyone can. I wouldn’t change anything about Beast Strong. Invest in yourself, your strength. With two locations to serve 24/7/365, with multiple styles of training and coaches you can find the results you're looking for. -Erika Kristi

 “This gym has helped me grow in so many ways. Not only has it physically changed me, but mentally as well. Before coming to Beast, I was 238 pounds which is overweight for my age and height. After being taken here by my family I instantly fell in love. Where so many other gyms have failed to capture a welcoming environment for newcomers, this one surpasses any expectations I had in a good way. The first week I met so many new people who not only cheered me on but actually took the time to get to know me. It felt more like I was working out with my friends than total strangers after awhile. Also, everyone is always giving advice to help you, it could come from a 10 time body building champion or a person just trying to squeeze in a workout before they work their 9-5. Thats the next thing I would like to mention. The staff is more than qualified to help and coach you (Coaching from the staff is something I would recommend they get results and are awsome at it). Each with their own unique background on working out and competitions Im sure one of them will have something to relate to. Finally, my own journey while working out here has also yielded great results. Starting at 238 I now weigh 192. Thats more than a 40 pound weight loss in 6 months. This is thanks to Tricia who is one of the staff members at this gym. She not only helped me work out better but motivated me to keep going. (The image below is my transformation). If you are looking for a gym, then I assure you there is no better choice. Their payment plans are affordable and the door is open to everyone.” -Caleb Draper

Beast Strong has changed my life in so many ways for the better! In the 3+ years I have been training here, I have gotten so much stronger physically AND mentally. Training with Rafe has been such a journey. He understands how to explain things and push every person in the way they need to be pushed, and I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else. I have found a supportive community with people who I can be motivated by and I am constantly in awe watching the consistency and the dedication of the other members.  I have been to many other gyms and couldn't stay consistent..the toxic communities at big box gyms was just too much to be around. Finding Beast was probably the biggest blessing in my life. Even before losing weight, I felt stronger and felt so much more confident in everything I did. I have competed in powerlifting, strongman, and most recently bodybuilding. I truly believe there are very few gyms like Beast Strong, it is a diamond in the rough. Now that I work here, I want to make sure everyone is able to see what an amazing place Beast Strong is!

“The culture and environment at Beast is the best at any gym I’ve ever been to, private or commercial. It’s a hardcore gym, so I’ve made massive progress because I’m surrounded by hardworking individuals that you won’t find too many other places. The kindness from everyone at Beast and dedication to progress is unmatched. The Beast culture, hands down, is my favorite thing about the gym. Extremely approachable staff and members that will be glad to help out in any situation. Nothing could make this a better environment! keep doing what you guys are doing!” -Kyle Kell

“Being coached by Rafe and visiting Beast Strong has been a great experience and I’m grateful to have Beast Strong Powerhouse on my side. My lifting has improved beyond my expectations… I continue to improve each and every week. Beast has an old school culture, where lifting is the priority, not talking on your phone. The atmosphere is my favorite thing about Beast Strong. I’m a very detailed oriented person and Beast has helped me keep on track. As soon as I walked into Beast Strong it felt like home. Working out there more often would be the only thing to make the experience better.” -Michael Breedan

BeastStrong has helped me gain back my love of fitness! I had previously lost almost 100lbs and ended up gaining it all back after leaving a gym community that left a sour taste in my mouth, so to speak. When I came back to lifting and was over 100lbs heavier I was scared to come in contact with that same experience or similar that would make me despise my journey again. The people I met at BeastStrong made it easy for me to come back and regain my confidence and love for strength and fitness. Since starting at Beast, I have competed in my first ever powerlifting meet, and I learned just how strong I am not only externally but internally. Since then, I have spent the last few years building strength and muscle and realized I can be both strong and sexy. I can have a killer bench “for a girl” (my favorite lift), linebacker arms and shoulders and it only adds to my femininity! The culture is so different from any gym I’ve been to! It sounds corny but I truly have found my gym family here! I found my person (in my best friend Tricia!) I found my best friend who’s like a sister to me and so many supportive people who have encouraged me to be the best me I could be! The coach I found in Melissa and being a part of Team Teich have been a blessing. They’re real and honest, and don’t just tell you what you want to hear, but they are gentle enough to show you how to love yourself where you are and that it’s okay and healthy, to want more or better. I love seeing all the motivating humans who cheer for you and want to see you succeed. Because of the people I’ve met here and the environment I have immersed myself in, I have lost 70+ lbs and still going. I have found myself again, I know this time the weight will stay off because I learned how to love myself at any size and that my weight doesn’t determine my worth. Even though the weight on the bar may help me find slightly more worth lol (strong woman dreams). I found myself wanting to get on stage, something I thought I would never consider again after my past experience but with beast behind me, I’ve let go of the chip on my shoulder and now I’m working on building the best beast body I can! I think the only thing that could make my beast experience better would be to see more people fall in love with this place and its people just like I did, and watch more women find themselves in an environment like this! -Melissa Ibanez
