Last week we turned SS #1 into our first ever Off Campus Cardio Party—lights low music up and a whole crew getting their sweat on together instead of dreading solo cardio. We had so much fun we’re planning to make it a regular thing!
Now we want your input. What theme do you want next—favorite genre favorite album a movie soundtrack you love? Drop your ideas in the comments and we’ll see what we can do for the next Cardio Party night.

Cody stepped on stage for his first ever bodybuilding show and absolutely delivered. He placed 3rd out of 8 in True Novice Classic Physique, 3rd out of 8 in Novice B Classic Physique, and 5th out of 10 in Open Class D—all in his debut meet.
We’ve enjoyed watching the way he’s locked in his training, nutrition, and posing over this past year, and we’re so proud of the work he put in to earn that spot under the stage lights. This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to see what Cody builds from here.
Keep it up Cody! Drop him a flex in the comments to cheer him on. đź’Ş

Tonight’s class switch‑up alert. 🚨 🩷 ‼️ We’re trading our usual weights class for UpLift with Stacy tonight—a strength‑focused workout that blends lifting with upbeat class energy to help you finish Monday feeling strong instead of drained. If you’ve been curious about trying Uplift this is your sign to grab a friend show up and get your lift in with the crew tonight at 6:00pm.

Our June Member of the Month goes to Henry—the guy you’ll catch deadlifting heavy in one moment and then staying late to organize and help fine‑tune the powerlifting room so it works better for everyone. As one nomination said, “Henry goes above and beyond to keep the spirit of power lifting front and center at The Strength Shop,” and we couldn’t agree more.
He’s brought new members into the Shop, helped people with their lifting, shared supplement advice, and become one of those familiar faces that makes this place feel like home. Thanks for all you do, Henry—you embody what the Strength Shop community is all about.
If you know a member who deserves a shoutout as a future Member of the Month, fill out this quick nomination form so we can recognize them:

Summer schedule update and a new face at the front desk ‼️ ➡️
As we roll into summer our staffed hours may change week to week so please keep an eye on Facebook and Instagram for the latest updates and don’t hesitate to call or text the gym at 515‑460‑1780 if you have questions or want to double check when someone will be in the shop.
THIS WEEK'S CHANGES: Wednesday & Thursday 5:00 - 7:30pm
Friday morning we will be open the normal 9:00am-12:00pm
The gym itself is still 24/7 for members and we’ll keep you posted so dropping by to join ask questions or grab supplements stays as easy as possible.
We’re also excited to share that longtime member Lucas Pelleymounter is stepping into a new role on our staffed team so if you spot him behind the desk you’ll know you’re in good hands with someone who already knows the Strength Shop family well!

Who's watched Off Campus? Let us know in the comments👀 Jaelynn can't be the only one obsessing 🩵 Join us this Wednesday night at SS #1 from 7:00-7:45pm where we’re turning the gym into an Off Campus Cardio Party!
This is a self-paced, guided group cardio class, so you can choose your favorite piece of cardio equipment — treadmills, ellipticals, or bikes. Think music up, lights low, and full-on main character energy. Participants will also get FREE show-inspired samples and goodies that make it feel like you just stepped out of a scene yourself.
Extremely limited spots – once the machines are taken, they’re gone.
Cardio equipment is reserved for class from 6:50–7:45 pm, so snag your spot in the app and claim your treadmill before someone else does.
