The Best Gym in Crown Point, IN

Book a Free 30 minute intro session to tour the gym and get coached on a movement of your choice. From there we can set you on the right track for your schedule.

One on one coaching to introduce 3 of the 4 foundational movements. Your coach will learn your body and any necessary modifications that are needed. Limitations and goals are addressed in this session to ensure we meet you where you’re at.

Strength is the foundation of almost every physical quality you possess. Being able to move quickly and efficiently requires force production and interacting with your environment becomes easier whether you’re training for a sport or training for life.

While using a straight barbell is useful for incremental progressive loading, Pittstop Strength also utilizes machines and specialty bar modifications as needed to help members learn and continue to train. Some of our members start with just their bodyweight, and quickly move to loading normal movement patterns.

When programmed correctly you can make measurable progress with 2-3 days a week of training. We encourage this to allow for effective practice of the movements as well as incremental increases as your body gets stronger. Programming is simple and effective and complexity is added when necessary.

Training is essential. Getting stronger takes time and being able to do it with like-minded people working at the same goal is crucial. Small group training allows for the necessary coaching, individualized adjustments, and the community aspect of knowing you’re aren’t in this alone.

Here at Pittstop Strength we offer 1-3x per week memberships. Each class is 75 minutes long with a max of 8 members per class. Your membership will reserve your platform space in your desired class time to ensure you always have your spot.

We are conveniently located off of ROUTE 30 just east of Burr St. We have members from Crown Point, St. John, Lowell, Merrillville, Schererville, Cedar Lake, DeMotte, and stretching as far as Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.

There are two entrances to the facility. The encouraged main entrance is on the East side (the back side) of the building, with two doors available and select parking spots in back and on the north side of the building. And there is a shared entrance on the front side of the building in the corner of plaza. Look for the PITTSTOP STRENGTH logo on the door.

Absolutely not. Unlike most gyms, we are not open access. You are coached and guided through each session. The On Ramp session helps us learn where you are and ensure progress happens at an appropriate rate.

While getting started is the most important aspect we will encourage certain equipment to invest in. A solid pair of weightlifting shoes, athletic clothing, a weightlifting belt, and a water bottle are among the first things. However for your first session (or few sessions) a flat pair of shoes will do.
