The folks at New Scotland Strength have amazing experience and provide safe and proper technique for all styles of training offered. I have been working with them for several years now and I have never felt more confident in my fitness and strength! They are always knowledgeable, focused on your goals, and most importantly create such a fun environment!

Great facility with knowledge training and training plans made to fit you and whatever you want to work on. After only a few months they got me to my fittest, strongest and most muscle mass. Couldn't recommend enough.

Awesome set up and great personnel. Haven't hit the gym in years and as a 30yo had my reservations. Josh made me feel comfortable going at my own pace and offered tons of expertise and encouragement. Highly recommend NSS!

Amazing training, Results make you both mentally and physically stronger!

After years of floundering with self-guided training and big-box gym trainers, NSS finally delivered real results for me. Josh built a program around both my goals and my constraints. I didn't just hit my targets, I’ve surpassed them and have been able to train in a sustainable way, which has resulted in long-term benefits.
