Gibran Medina
"Amazing facility and top of the line equipment. This gym has always been my go to from day one. I can’t imagine any another gym being better."
Mayra Adame
"Since joining Nightmare Muscle, I feel more comfortable and confident in lifting. I've always been a fairly shy person with many self-doubts in what I am capable of. But feeling the support, the reassurance, and being in a space where I don't feel any negative judgement has made me feel less of that imposter syndrome I had previously experienced at other gyms."
Kai Stasinakis
"My favorite thing about nightmare is the community and atmosphere. The community is always coming together to help one another out and bring out the best in everyone!"
Rahim Benson
