Look, I've been in this industry long enough to see every trend come and go. What we do here at the Citadel isn't about trends - it's about building real, functional strength that carries over into your actual life.
We're talking compound movements, Olympic lifts done right, conditioning that doesn't sacrifice strength, and mobility work that actually matters. Our approach combines old-school barbell work with modern programming science. You won't find rows of treadmills here - just platforms, bars, and people ready to put in the work.
Built by coaches who actually know their stuff
We cap our classes so you get attention
Quality bars, plates, and platforms
Just work hard, get results

Most folks who walk through our doors end up staying. Not because we have fancy smoothie bars or Instagram-worthy lounges - we don't. They stay because they're getting stronger, moving better, and actually enjoying the process.
There's something about lifting in a place where everyone's focused on the work. No judgment, no pretense. Just plates on bars and people getting after it. Whether you're hitting a PR or just showing up on a tough day, you're part of something here.
We've got everyone from complete beginners to competitive lifters, and somehow it all works. Maybe it's because we keep the standards high but the egos checked at the door. Everyone started somewhere, and we remember that.
