Reviews
The best gym in Oakland 💖 A few years ago I entered a powerlifting meet not knowing how much it would change my life for the better. The USPA meet at Get Bent introduced me to a community of individuals that became life time friends. What Jason and Pela do here is more than fitness…they cultivate a community that welcomes all to feel like they have a home away from home.
Get Bent is not only an amazing place to train, but a gem of a community resource.
They have every piece of equipment a powerlifter might want: deadlift bars, platforms, competition plates, a combo rack, etc.
The vibe is: welcoming, energetic, fun, and pushing you to be your best self all at once.
The folks who run Get Bent are knowledgeable, super kind, and do a lot for the community in addition to running the gym. They run a non profit to empower local youth via strength training. They host several powerlifting meets a year, which is a ton of work.
I'm so grateful this space exists. See you at the next meet!
