    About StrengthTime

    The beauty of the StrengthTime system is its simplicity. The notion of "efficient & effective" translates to our business operations. First, StrengthTime requires a small footprint-1,500 and 2,000 sq. ft.-with locations enjoying success in secondary retail locations.

    There are no locker rooms, showers or other environmental concerns. A single restroom, changing room, and small reception/office area are all you need to augment your workout studio. Additionally, because our program is so focused on providing an effective and efficient workout, there are no distractions like loud music or mirrors This helps clients focus on their workout.
