Strength Haüs

This gym changed me into someone that enjoys working out. I've tried a ton of gyms in the city and have enjoyed them to varying degrees, but Strength Haüs has classes that have made me *strong* and a community that encourages me. The coaches and clients are the coolest, nicest, best version of gym people out there. I love being able to measure my strength in the kettlebell classes that absolutely obliterate me, and Barbell Club classes (especially with Coach Parker, motivating royalty) have taught me to lift on my own in a way I never thought I'd be able to. Some extra touches outside of the coaches and classes are the little candies as pre-workout, socks/barefoot only so you can move with ease, and the design being the opposite of an eyesore. Huge for me! The membership being flexible/no cancellation fees is also incredible. My kid loves it here too - he has a weekly lesson with Jon that is making him confident in his movement, gets his energy out, and makes him love his body and what it can do. The community he's found through Strength Haüs and the connected/sister gym Juniper Muy Thai has been an absolute game changer at home and school, so we really appreciate what Coach Jon, Coach Molly, and Coach Mike (who instructs at Strength Haüs and Juniper Muy Thai) have done for that. tldr: go here to get jacked with sweethearts

Jon, Molly and their crew have made an amazing, welcoming space in the heart of South Philly. Their classes are fun and challenging. I've been a member for about 3 months, and the benefits are great. I take advantage of extracurricular gym use and I get to use all the equipment at my own pace. They use the "Somble" app for scheduling. It is a bit clunky, but functional, and allows easy booking (and unhooking for when my plans change). Their cancellation policies are very reasonable, and they also don't have draconian membership contracts. Very happy to live nearby this excellent community space with friendly, driven, compassionate people!

Every single one of these instructors are insanely knowledgeable and also truly lovely people. The space is fun and welcoming to everyone. They 100% put you to work and you absolutely get results, but you never dread going. Cheesy to say, but it feels more like hanging out with your friends than “working.” Uniquely, this gym really gives you the skills and confidence to go into any gym to strength train… like if you’re on vacation or something, because you’d definitely prefer to be here.

This place has changed my relationship to exercise and strength training completely — beginner friendly, welcoming to all, extremely nice people, very informed and helpful coaches, lots of scheduling options and flexible cancellation policy for classes…. Can’t say enough positive things! So grateful for Strength Haus! PS the Strength for Beginners workshop was a great place to start for someone like me with zero background experience, highly recommend it!

As a fitness professional, I can’t recommend Jon and his team at Strength Haüs enough. The extent of their knowledge and coaching abilities are through the roof. They are some of the best coaches I have ever had the pleasure of working with. On top of their ability to help you get stronger, build muscle and learn about working out; they are also doing it all with an amazing attitude, making the class fun, exciting, and getting you to enjoy fitness every time you’re with them.
