Why Does The Garage Gym Have an Application Process ?

Why Does The Garage Gym Have an Application Process ? 

Most gyms will sign up anyone who walks through the door. 

Hand over your card, get a key fob, and done. Little to no conversation, no get to know process, and no one asks what you're actually trying to accomplish or whether this gym will help you.

We think that stinks.

At The Garage Gym, every prospective member goes through an application process before they're invited to join. You'll speak with our Onboarding Officer to answer any questions you have prior to touring the facility with our Co-Founder, Kieran. On your tour you’re welcome to stay for a trial session to workout and really get a feel for things.

If you’d like to join - and there’s availability for new members - you can join the same day.

We know that might sound unusual… but it’s incredibly important.

Life has enough headaches and your gym shouldn’t be one of them.

You've probably been to a gym that felt… off. 

Maybe it was crowded and chaotic. Maybe the energy was low. Maybe the people just… weren't your people. 

In getting to know all members before they can join and limiting the total number of members at the facility, we ensure a facility that is clean, not crowded, and filled only with good people. 

A facility to work out how you want, when you want, without headaches.

We want to make sure we're right for you, not just that you're a good person.

The conversation with our Onboarding Officer isn't an interview. It's a conversation about what you're looking to accomplish, in the gym and beyond.

The Garage Gym Mission is to help our people in the pursuit of their 100%. 

Physically, Mentally, Socially - the 100% best version of themselves. 

That means we want to understand where you are, where you want to go, and how we can help you get there. If we're not the right fit for your goals, we'd rather tell you upfront than have you sign a membership that doesn't serve you (and refer you to somewhere that can best help you).

The tour isn't a sales pitch. It's an alignment.

When you come in for your tour, you're going to see if The Garage Gym is a fit for you.

We’ll walk you through the facility, answer any questions that might’ve popped up, and encourage you to stay to get a workout in (for free).

The goal is to ensure you’re totally equipped to make a decision on if The Garage Gym is a fit for you (or not!).

If it is - awesome. 

If it isn’t - awesome - we’ll find you somewhere else that is. 

Limited membership isn't a gimmick. It's the whole point.

The most important thing in the world to us is our people and the quality of experience we strive to provide. 

We make two commitments to our members:

1. a facility that is clean
2. a facility that is not crowded. 

So, we limit memberships to make sure that 6am or 6pm, you have exactly what you need.

No crowds or crummy people. 

Just your home away from home.

Good people only

One of our members put it best: "If you are a good person, I highly recommend this place. If not, please stay at (big box gym who’s name we won’t mention)."

The Garage Gym is a community of people who show up, work hard, support each other, and leave the space better than they found it. The application process is how we protect that culture.

It's not about being exclusive. It's about being intentional.
