If anyone knows who did this. We're giving you a $500 reward.

“My name is Andrew Pepiot, and I’ve been working and training in gyms for the last fourteen years, with a history of competing in tennis, swimming, and rugby beforehand. Ten of those years have been spent dedicated to learning and growing in the sport of strongman, which has taken me to top performances amongst the best in the world. Most notably, winning the title of America’s Strongest Man, a second place finish at the Arnold Strongman World Championship, and multiple appearances at Official Strongman Games World’s Strongest Man. I’ve spent the last six years sharing my passion for training and lifting with others through coaching and working with people of all skill levels, from beginner to national levels, across strongman, powerlifting, and general fitness. Whether you’re looking to be competitive, pick up a new hobby, or just live a healthier life, I firmly believe that weight training will positively benefit every aspect of your life and I look forward to being able to help you on your journey!”

Good afternoon, IA FAM!

We've had a lot of questions regarding Memorial Day events, and this year, we have 2 options for you.

We'll continue doing The Murph workouts at all locations. Please see the attached flyer (link also in the bio) to sign up. All drop ins and donations will go to the LT Michael P Murphy Memorial Scholarship Foundation. Sign up as a solo and/or invite all of your friends to join in. You will be self timing and governing (no judges). Feel free to also scale the workout to your desire.

Another great cause that we're supporting this year is the 4th Annual Memorial Day Sweat-Raiser. See the 2nd slide for additional information. The proceeds will benefit the Bobby Henline Foundation. For questions, please reach out to Chris or Jaisar Bruneau.

Let's show the community what we've got and come out in big numbers!

Tag who's joining you and share please.

You ask, and we deliver (well, what we can)!

As always, member feedback is always listened to and appreciated. When you ask what the $25 annual fee is for ... it's always to enhance the gym. New equipment, maintenance, and upgrades.

The #1 requested item was saunas, and now all locations have them.

The #2 requested item was a pendulum squat, and now all locations have them.

Norfolk had some room for a set of ad/abductor machines and a seated incline, and now you have them.

No need to offer any new suggestions because we are out of room now 😂

Newport News/Peninsula, you're up 🤘

IA fam, you may have seen us moving some things at all locations ... which means Christmas isn't over yet! What's coming? 👀

Sorry for the inconvenience fam, but the electrical work is a little more than some simple wiring. Our electrician will need to move scaffolding and ladders throughout the gym during this time. Please visit Norfolk or Castleton locations during these times. But the good news is that the Saunas at Kempsville should be up and running in the next 10-14 days!
