Who We Are

Project 13 Gyms was founded in 2018 under the belief that fitness, Mindset and Group connection have the ability to transform people beyond what they thought was possible.  Focusing on these three elements and the idea that it’s a never ending project of continuous improvement, we believe we’re building better humans through that process.

In a fitness industry that’s saturated with thoughtless workouts and no true connection, Project 13 is the antithesis of those places and instead fosters an environment for true growth through genuine connection, thoughtful work, and a focus on individualization.

In short, we cut through the bullshit to provide you with high quality programming and coaching and none of the fluff and fake stuff.

We provide a unique spin on a traditional strength and conditioning model that will allow you to build strength and fitness through the use of barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, bodyweight movements, rowers, ski ergs and fan bikes.  In addition to that, we’ve refined our method over time to ensure that we provide workouts that will improve performance without sacrificing longevity.
