Equipment & Climate
Lifting platforms, squat racks, a full rig system, Echo and Assault bikes, Concept2 rowers and ski ergs, kettlebells and free weights. The website says the equipment is from Rogue Fitness. Climate is not stated.

Pricing Notes
No official drop-in price is published on the website or drop-in page (sources 2 and 3). The website says there are no student or senior discounts. An undated Instagram post (source 4) says drop-ins are welcome and mentions $24 off a first month of membership. Facebook posts (sources 5 and 10) cover Hive Heat Co., a separate business that is opening in Medina, so their prices, including a $10 first drop-in, do not apply to this gym.
