KG Strong
KG Strong is the absolute best place to train in Philadelphia. Katie has created a space that is powerful, inclusive, and grounded in real expertise. Her programming is intentional and incredibly effective. You will get stronger, sharper, and more confident every time you walk in the door. I've seen it happen in my self and with my work out peers at KG Strong. We love it!
The community she’s built is welcoming, supportive, and filled with people who genuinely want to see each other thrive. If you’re looking for a strength studio that actually knows what it’s doing, this is it. A true Philly treasure.
I’m so grateful to have found KG Strong. I’ve never done strength training or used kettlebells before but was immediately put at ease with a detailed foundational series! When starting classes, I was a little nervous but every instructor was welcoming, motivating, and really attentive! The sense of community is unlike any other gym experience I’ve had. Special shout out to Katie McEwan who works with me 1:1. She is a phenomenal trainer and I’ve learned so much in such a short period of time. If you are looking for a judgement free and welcoming environment while becoming the strongest version of yourself, KG Strong is definitely worth checking out.
Katie and her trainers are consistently excellent, informed, friendly, and community focused. I love coming here for my physical and mental health. The workouts are hard in a good way, flexible to experience level, and fun.
