Fantastic experience: Here I am at the age of 60 getting into powerlifting. Alan Thrall (YouTube/Untamed Strength owner), encourage me to challenge myself in competition. Untamed has great equipment and the competition bench press that I used at this gym helped in training me to set a state record for my age group (60-64). No long waiting times to use equipment here unlike most commercial gyms. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you check out this gym. Thanks for all your encouragement Alan. Sincerely, James S.

Untamed Strength

Thank you for the review, James! Great job on your record too

Fantastic experience: Big fan of this place from YouTube. If you’re into powerlifting, strong man, olympic lifting, this is a great place for clean equipment space and instruction. 100/10 for the music choice. I’m visiting Sacramento for the holiday and am very thankful to have a gym I can go to with a positive atmosphere and all the proper equipment. Went yesterday and today at 6am, someone was there with a smile. Everyone is welcome! Doubly so, as another grunt that got out and opened a buisness I’m happy to see Alan Thrall succeed; what a great gym. If you want to get strong and are in the Sacramento area, this is the place.

Thank you for being a good member, James.

Shawn Shafai 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Just attended a Barbell Medicine seminar this past weekend at this gym. This is Alan Thrall’s gym, who I’ve watched his fun/educational videos on YouTube for years. The place is beyond expectations. If I lived anywhere close to Sacramento, it would be awesome to train here. Alan and his crew are super nice and hard to imagine getting better coaching anywhere. I’ve never done strongman stuff, but the amount of equipment they have for it is unreal and would love to try it. I’ve been to powerlifting gyms around the country and this one is really special. Sac folks are super lucky to have Alan and this gym in town!

Untamed Strength

Thank you so much for the review, Shawn. It was nice meeting you.

Fantastic experience: This gym is amazing. The facility has an incredible amount of equipment enabling athletes to succeed in their strength goals. The atmosphere is encouraging and inspiring. Training here energizes you and makes you want to crank it up a few levels. Just thinking about this place makes me want to chalk up my grip, say my prayers, take my vitamins, and hoist some weight! Untamed Strength indeed.

Untamed Strength

Thank you for the review!

Steve Global Traveler 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Greetings, Today I had an opportunity to go to Untamed Strength and have them look at my form for Squat, bench, deadlift and press. The session was extremely helpful! Mr. Thrall was friendly, very professional and very easy to understand and improve my proper lifting techniques. I would strongly recommend anyone doing barbell training should come in for a session. The gym facility is amazing!

Untamed Strength

Thank you very much, Steve. It was a pleasure meeting you today.

Anirudh Vyas 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Alan is amazing, humble and very very good teacher. In 90 minutes I probably learned more than I have in a lifetime and I am not exaggerating - If you power-lift or are interested in programming or powerlifting in general Untamed strength might be your answer.

Untamed Strength

Thank you so much, Anirudh. It was great working with you.

Gustavo Ramirez 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: The best gym I've ever been to. I don't have a powerlifting gym anywhere near me so I drove down almost 2 hours just to come train down here. The energy, the people, and the overall environment are just amazing. I'm definitely coming back again and finding some way to come down here to train more often. I just wish there was one closer to Pittsburg / Antioch. I'd give this gym 6/5 stars if I could!

Untamed Strength

Thanks for visiting, Gustavo

Ryan Sutherland 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Love this place. The owner is super nice and the conditioning class is the most fun I've ever had at a gym. The gym is expanding! This is the second time the gym has expanded since I've been a member. There's so much equipment and now so much more room.

Untamed Strength

Thanks, Ryan. Love having you in class.

Angel M 3 years ago

Negative experience: I wanted to join but the people that were there to answer my questions didn't really know much about the gym, in fact they said they didn't even "really work here" whatever that meant.

Untamed Strength

Hey Angel, the gym is not staffed. The website lists instructions for inquiries. Sounds like you talked to members who were working out. That's what they meant by "they don't work here."

Furthermore they have a very impressive collection of strongman implements. Can't say enough about this place I'll be back everytime I'm in the area!

Marco Magagnini 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: After having worked out at an array of corporate gyms with a full staff, I can say that I’m surprised how clean the gym is. Even being unstaffed, everyone puts their equipment away. What it lacks in amenities it more than makes up for in its huge collection of powerlifting and strong lifting equipment. So happy I found this gym. Best gym I’ve worked out in by far. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for a new gym.

Untamed Strength

Thank you for the kind words.

Joseph Crawford 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've known Alan personally for over 10 years and he's an outstanding person- passionate about lifting and fitness and is a very positive member of the fitness community. He runs a great business and would recommend anyone to visit Untamed Strength!

RonC S 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I think that every squat rack (10), deadlift platform (6), and bench (6?) can have something like 500 pounds loaded, and there will still be leftover plates. It's crazy! There are more choices of barbell than you knew were possible. I've never seen anything like this in any gym anywhere. The community is solid too. There are some rediculously, insanly strong athletes here with psycho r#t*rd strength here. Don't be intimidated. They are all cool. Alan is a solid dude and a type of business entrepenuer that you want to support. Always remember.... Train Untaaaaaaaamed!!

Untamed Strength

Thank you very much for the review Ron

Fantastic experience: If you ever get a chance to do a form check with Allan--do it! He was so kind and gave me great cues that have definitely improved my confidence and strength in all the lifts. I signed up for my first powerlifting meet after working with him. Hopefully I get the chance to work with him again! .

Fantastic experience: I came here because my hands were slipping off the soft bars at the YMCA. My hands don’t slip anymore. They’ve got ~ 40 different barbells, 20 belts, cage after cage, platform after platform, stones, yokes, farmers walk apparatuses, tires, etc etc

Matthew McSorley 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would love to train untamed here however the furthest West I got from Philadelphia is St. Louis. I am a huge Alan thrall fan ever since I watched the supplements videos. Hydro20 hahaha. Alan knows how to lift and get muscle on you while getting the fat off. He will be a dad soon so I hope he gets time to make videos and train.

Rich Stewart 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Prior to visiting Untamed Strength my compounds were awful. My form was bad and I'd often injure myself. After Alan's one time form check, I'm now squatting, deadlifting and benching 3 times a week. He's thorough, knowledgeable and professional. Truly an excellent service. Thanks Allen.

Marc Vilardell 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Estuve aquí entrenando el año pasado y es un lugar espectacular. Alan, el dueño del gimnasio, es una gran persona. Se nota que sabe mucho de lo que enseña. Tuve una clase privada con el corrigiendo la forma del squat, deadlift y el power clean. Aprendí mucho con él. Lo recomiendo 100%.

Fantastic experience: Alan’s videos have been so helpful, inspiring, and motivating. Even better when getting the chance to visit his gym he was graciously accommodating, his gym is fantastic and extremely welcoming.

Rich W 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Alan rocks. I purchased his form check online and drove 2 hours to visit his gym to do the form checkj in person after watching his online videos. I've been lifting for 35 years and he helped me clean up several technique flaws, greatly improving my shoulder and back safety. I've watched his youtube training but there really is no substitute for his in person form check. He spent over an hour with me on the four big lifts (deads - squat - bench - OHP). His cues are dead on. It's too bad I live in San Jose otherwise I'd definitely sign up at his gym. There were a lot of strong lifters there the day I went for the form check.

Tyler Wingo 6 years ago

william files 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I live in Texas (so I can't visit in person YET!) but I am dying to go sometime when I can take the time off, hopefully he'll make Untamed Strength 2 in Houston lol. Have seen almost all of Alan's Youtube videos on his Gym and I can say it is my(and any other Powerlifter/Oly Lifter/Strongman's) absolute dream Gym!!!!

Jorge Soto 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: The gym is super welcoming I haven’t been there in quite some time because of where I live and my job but every time I went I was very welcomed. The owner Alan is a really chill and nice guy. The members are also really nice. Some of them even took time out of there training to help me with some of the strongman equipment which is much appreciated. By far the coolest and most fun gym I have ever been to.

Fantastic experience: Alan's video on youtube helps me alot in fixing my squats and improving my deadlift, I had some issues with lower back pain due to wrong routine in squats, he has a lot of knowledge, and highly recommended for anyone who interested in powerlifting or strongman sports.

Joe Goldbronn 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to get strong. The owner, Alan, is a great person who knows his stuff and is very willing to help anyone. You do not need to be muscle bound person to go here there are all levels of fitness and strength. If you are tired of getting B.S. help from untrained staff at commercial gyms come here and learn how to get strong and fit.

Lydia B 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Alan Thrall is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I booked an appointment for a power lifting form check, and learned a tremendous amount in my short time there. Highly recommended for anyone who needs a little help with their form. Alan's main focus is on the strongman training, and given his attitude and knowledge, I would encourage anyone who's interested to give it a try. He has a number of membership options, and even offers free open gym on Saturday mornings.

Nicholas Hansen 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: What a great time I had at Untamed. Alan is a stand up guy who has a passion for the industry. The gym is perfect in size and the atmosphere is awesome. They have 4 platforms a bunch of racks and 3 benches. What more could you ask for? Highly recommend checking this place out if looking for a warehouse style gym.

Dan Van Dyke 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: 4 Squat Racks, 4 platforms for dead-lifts & cleans and tons of strongman gear. I've never been at a gym where every single member came up, introduced themselves, and said hello. Fantastic atmosphere and good community. Tons of instructional video online too! Highly recommend this gym.

David Van Norman 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Just did my first workout with Alan, and I have to say it was a great experience. Being a complete beginner, it's intimidating to come to a strongman gym, but Alan did a great job of making me feel comfortable while giving me some great insights on where to start. Highly recommend his services for people of all athletic abilities looking to grow stronger and be in an atmosphere of dedication. 5 stars!

Rachel Perryman 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Just finished my first week of personal training with Alan and all I have to say is he is awesome. I'm a female beginner and I was incredibly nervous going here (strongman gym sounds intimidating), but he is super knowledgable and really good at making you feel comfortable in the gym. I'm basically hooked on going here and if you're even considering going, DO IT! You'll love it on day one.
