I adore the Speakeasy of Strength because they have made strength training fun and approachable. All of the coaches are fantastic at their jobs, helping us stay challenged while creating a chill environment. I love that we get to do different exercises throughout the week for the challenge, but repeat programs for four weeks for consistency. I've been going since summer and I definitely feel stronger. Thanks to Fury and the entire team for creating this place!

Speakeasy of Strength Brooklyn has been an absolute game-changer for me. I’ve been going for almost a year and a half, and it somehow manages to be both serious strength training and genuinely fun. supportive coaches, smart programming, and zero shame vibes. The team is awesome at meeting you where you are, adjusting when needed, and still helping you make real progress (without the bootcamp-y yelling). I’m healthier, stronger, and way more consistent than I’ve ever been. the community energy makes it easy to keep showing up

I've been going to the Speakeasy since October 2022. It was my first experience doing any strength training, and it has seriously changed my life! I credit the coaches and programming at Speakeasy for no longer being in chronic pain. I also worked out through 8+ months of pregnancy and my postpartum recovery was so much swifter than it had been with my first. I'm so grateful I found this place and took the leap. Highly recommend!!!

Been attending for about 2 years now; was an active athlete from a young age and fell off the habit in my 20s. The speakeasy has been a great place to get back into the habit and push myself back to being healthy and happy; the staff is knowledgeable and meets me at my level without feeling like I’m distracting others there. Highly recommend for all fitness levels, from first timers to experienced lifters!

I can’t say enough great things about Speakeasy. From day one, the entire team has been so welcoming and supportive. I’ve always been intimidated by big gyms, so the small class format has been perfect for me- it feels personal, and focused. I’ve been going for about a month now and can confidently say I’ll be continuing. I love that the workouts are constantly changing, so nothing ever feels repetitive. The coaches are truly amazing, and genuinely invested in making sure everyone feels comfortable and supported. I’m currently recovering from surgery, and this has been the ideal environment to ease back into training safely. The individualized attention and encouragement make such a difference. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a strength-focused gym that feels empowering rather than intimidating!
