About MTN STRNG
The "Why" of mTN STRNG
Our purpose is clear, even when it’s not easy.
We provide the best strength and work capacity training you’ll find in Salt Lake City.
We train in the gym to improve our performance outside of the gym – with running, skiing, climbing, and playing with our kids.
And we’re always building our durability and longevity to keep going for years, and decades, to come.
The Origin Story
Michael here. I started MTN STRONG – first it was called the SLC Kettlebell Club, and later Wasatch Fitness Academy – in 2017.
The mission was always clear: to provide exceptional training, to a community of amazing people, that improved lives.
I came from CrossFit, which was my introduction to strength training, and I loved it – until I saw the limitations in a group training system that always leveraged competition.
I also knew that skiers, runners, cyclists, and climbers – like me – needed training which would boost performance, AND boost longevity.
Opening a place for outdoor athletes to excel was the next step – and that has become MTN STRNG.
