Love this gym really happy with it. Wide range of equipment and a really nice atmosphere with friendly staff members.
I wanted to progress as a competitive athlete but it was hard for me to check all the boxes each week and know for sure if I was on the right track. Ken’s programming has completely turned my training around and has taken out all the guess work. I now have a fine tuned plan of attack. We attack my weaknesses, both mental and physical, and we are hitting all facets of training that competitive endurance racing requires. Ken is constantly analyzing the data from sessions and tracking progress, as well as, monitoring fatigue and warning signs for overtraining or potential injuries. Ken is completely dedicated to helping me achieve my athletic goals and it shows in every detail in his preparation, attentiveness and drive.
TEF is a great gym with a supportive, family vibe. This gym is for EVERYBODY regardless of your skill level, from absolute beginner to seasoned athlete. The coaches do an amazing job at meeting you where you are at, making you feel comfortable with new concepts and pushing you to achieve more than you thought you could do. Yet, there is not the ego and cliques you find at other gyms. Just people supporting each other. 14/10 would recommend.
This gym is family owned and operated and the family vibe resonates through the building's pores (yes, cinder blocks and drywall have pores). When you come in, you are welcomed not by a sales pitch, but by coaches who genuinely want to help you get stronger and more confident.
Like many of the people who joined The Endurance Factory, I was looking for a place to train for Obstacle Course Races. If that's your thing, this place is perfect. I had a goal to do the Spartan Trifecta in 2018, but I also wanted to do fewer burpees in races. Both Ken Peluso and Tiffany Palmer are world class obstacle course racers who love to coach and pass their knowledge on.
The Boot Camp classes are varied and challenging for all levels. I started out pretty out of shape and have worked my way into being pretty fit over the course of the year. Even with the loss of 25 lbs. I describe the classes the same way. They're challenging, but doable. Ken and Tiffany don't let you dog it or fail. They get the most out of everyone.
There are tons of gyms in the area. Many of them have great coaches who will help you get stronger and give you personal attention. However, for me, four things set The Endurance Factory apart from most of those gyms. First, the owner, Ken Peluso, is my coach. He knows my race schedule, my injury history, my targets and goals. He knows how to get me where I want to go. All I need to do is show up and put in the work.
Second, the gym is welcoming and family oriented. Everyone is welcome. Kids can train with their parents or hangout with the other children while their parents workout. Experienced racers workout beside and encourage first timers and non racers. The regulars are friendly and everyone is welcomed their first few classes. Third, we all work hard, but we also have fun. Tiffany Palmer is an elite obstacle course racer and one of the coaches. She pushes us hard in class, but she incorporates games to make the workouts more fun.
Fourth, the gym also hosts potluck cookouts and has added perks to the membership package like Sunday morning Yoga classes and meal plan options. These are things that members want and ask for. They aren't just read or heard and "taken into consideration." They get done.
I'd never been one for strength training before joining The Endurance Factory. Lifting weights is a new thing for me. I joined on Opening Day because Ken didn't get pushy with his sales pitch. He told me what he planned to deliver to members and showed me how I could benefit from the facilities. That was good enough for me to give it a try. It's now 10 months later and Ken has delivered on everything that he said that the gym would be.
He's also been a great coach who has helped me through injuries and in the process helped me build confidence in my abilities. And I'm not the lucky, special one. Everyone at The Endurance Factory gets "the lucky special one" treatment.
Whether you’re looking to spice up your usual workout routine or train for your next big OCR race, The Endurance Factory is a place that you should check out. The owner, Ken, and his family are so kind and passionate about what they do. Ken is an expert on endurance sports and injury prevention so you will be in good hands. There is everything you need here- clean workout area, top notch equipment, crazy fun obstacles, and one of those water bottle machines where the water magically comes out without having to push any buttons!! Everyone is so friendly, you’ll definitely find yourself in some good company.
