Hard work + friendship = a successful meet day yesterday! ⚡️

We had 10 lifters from RTS compete yesterday at the Monster Smash! Our very own Mike Dewar coached as well as competed 💪🏻

We had tons of support for the RTS crew and it was such a fun day to see everyone either doing this for the first time or some of our long time Oly lifters getting on the platform again!

Dalit Kugel got the award for best female lifter of the day and Mike Dewar got second for best male lifter of the day!

A great day was had! ⚡️🖤

Hot take! 😤

In all seriousness, our goal with RTS is that it’s a place where people feel comfortable and respected. We want the gym to feel like a safe space for women who may have had bad experiences in the past.

Women can and should wear what they want to the gym that makes them feel confident and comfortable. Any disrespect is not tolerated at RTS.

We are so grateful for our amazing community!

Lightning talk! ⚡️ if you’ve ever wondered why the logo has a lightning bolt, it’s because of my and my family’s background as electricians.

I wanted to take that part of me and carry it with me into the RTS you know today!

Fun fact, the circle portion of the logo is the end cap of a barbell!

Happy Friday! ⚡️🖤

Lightning talk! ⚡️ RTS Barbell stands for Risk to Succeed Barbell!

I came up with this when I was 19. It meant a lot to me then and it means alot to me now, but in different ways! Building RTS to what it is today was a huge risk for me at the time. All my resources - any extra time or money - was going into building the strength and conditioning facility I always dreamed of.

Making the decision to leave our space in the warehouse and to build the building we’re currently in was also a huge risk, but I knew it was time because we needed to be better able to serve our community.

Thank you so much to each and every one of you who supports us! We appreciate you all! ⚡️🖤
