Our Facility
100+ different types of equipment
We offer all kinds of equipment to members for anything they are training for. Whether it’s powerlifting, functional fitness, or just working out, Olympus has what you are looking for within our three different Athlete Zones.
Athlete Zones
Athlete Zones are Olympus’s distinct sectors of our facility, each designed for different athletes.
-
Our main zone. Packed full with a multitude of different machines, free-weights, cardio equipment and more. There’s something here for everyone’s personal program.
-
From custom platforms and Olympic bars to sleds, rigs, and conditioning equipment, this space is designed for both technical lifting and high-intensity, multi-modal training. With direct access to an adjacent outdoor area, athletes can incorporate shuttle runs, carries, and conditioning work in Mother Nature.
-
A dedicated area for those who push their bodies to the absolute max. Olympus offers specialized equipment, including bars, plates, and racks specifically for those testing their true limits.

The Vote
Built by the People Who Train Here
Most gyms are built for their members.
Olympus LKN is built with them.
Every six months (Jan 4, July 4), our members take part in The Vote - a structured process that directly shapes the future of the facility.
From new equipment and training zones to community events and facility upgrades, the gym’s direction isn’t decided behind closed doors. It’s decided by the people who train here.
A Facility That Evolves With You
Ideas don’t come from a suggestion box that gets ignored. They come from:
Conversations on the floor
Direct feedback to our coaching staff
Member submissions and requests
Proven demand from previous voting cycles
Those ideas are refined, prioritized, and put to a vote - ensuring that what gets built reflects what our members actually need to perform at a higher level.
Why It Matters
Most facilities become outdated. Ours improves continuously.
The result is a gym that has evolved into a true hybrid training environment, supporting:
Strength athletes
Physique-focused members
Functional fitness training
Sports performance development
Not because we guessed, but because our members demanded it.
Have a say in where you train
If you’re looking for a facility that listens, improves, and is built around people who take training seriously, then it’s time to experience Olympus LKN.
