Anthony and Val are the pinnacle of strength sports in New England, whether it be for general fitness or a highschool athlete looking towards D1 Collegiate sports. You can be better at any age and they can take you through that journey into self betterment for you and your life. Embrace better, you deserve it.

I came here regularly for a month while I was in Concord temporarily and was really impressed by what a great community full of positive and helpful people this place has. I made friends literally within a minute of walking in as a couple of random members introduced themselves seeing I was clearly a new face. This is the right place if you’re serious about building strength and want a supportive community.

About 14 weeks ago I decided I needed to get back into the gym. I was not interested in the big box gyms and the ridiculous things that happen there. I wanted a real gym and found Anchor Athletics.
If you’re looking for pink dumbbells and cardio classes this isn’t the place and I’m thankful for that. It’s a real gym with great people that train there. I’m an early morning lifter and I love the proximity of the gym to my house and i especially appreciate the phenomenal array of equipment they have in the facility.
I’m not a powerlifter any more, but I love this gym. Anthony and Val (the owners) are great people that care about their members and Anthony has helped me out with form, overcoming injuries, and just an inspiring dude.
I’ve lost 31 pounds since joining the gym and it’s sparked in me even more desire to keep training and making further progress.
If you’re on the search for a real gym where you can do some serious training then I’d recommend coming in to speak to Val and Anthony.

Love this gym! You won't find a better strength and conditioning training place around here that even comes close to what the owners Anthony and Val have built. They both possess a wealth of knowledge that they love sharing with everyone who walks through the doors. 11/10, would recommend training here to anyone from a fledgling high school athlete to a seasoned powerlifter. I can't say enough good things about Anchor.

If you’re an athlete or lifter and live anywhere close to Anchor, do yourself a favor and go train there. They have everything you could possibly need equipment wise but more important than that, they have the knowledge to take you to the next level.

If you want to take your physics abilities to the next level, Anchor is the only place to go in central NH. Anthony and Val are the most experienced coaches in the area and know how to take anyone, or any age, or any need and get them to reach their potential. Go to Anchor athletics people there is no other option !

Anchor Athletics and Strength is one of my happy places! As someone who is not currently at my most-fit, I’ve never felt as though I didn’t belong in the gym. I love seeing the range of ages, and abilities of everyone working out. Even those days where I didn’t feel like going to try e gym and working out, as soon as I’m there, the atmosphere turns whatever mood I’m in totally around!

It’s a rare thing to find such high caliber athletes that are also incredible coaches, but that’s what you get at Anchor. Not only are they knowledgeable, they have an impressive ability to adapt their coaching and communication styles to match each athlete’s needs.
Whether you want to compete and need someone to help you believe you can lift the world, or you’re a lift in the corner to be a more functional human type of athlete— Anchor is for you.
Anthony and Val are considerate, warm and intensely motivational. The other on-site coaches are also immensely helpful and generous with their time.

Started training with Anthony in February a month after surgery. I had been a half as**d powerlifter for years but had to decrease weight while healing. Anthony designed a program that has helped me regain my strength and somehow managed to incorporate some HIIT (which I sorely needed) into it well. He is a world champion powerlifter, but he helps anyone meet their goals with professionalism, expertise and a lot of humor! I have also trained with Val, the co-owner, Connor and Ben. All have been professional, attentive and listen to what the client wants!
Also highly notable is that my 80 y/o father with some cognitive decline has been working out here regularly for the last three months, personal training with Val. The difference in his gait, balance and strength is remarkable. He is much steadier on his feet, loves going to the gym and his three physicians strongly endorse his training.
There is circuit training, coaching and open gym. Don't be intimidated by all the equipment you have never seen before. This is an amazing place, staff with even better coaches and truly is a judgement free zone.

I started working out and getting myself in better shape for about a year before I started going to Anchor. I then started going to Anchor about a year/year and a half ago now and it was the best decision of my life. Started to personally train with Ben and I could not be any happier with the results. Anthony and Val are also awesome owners and trainers with more knowledge along with Ben than probably the whole state of NH. If you put in the work and dedication, this is where you go to be the best version of yourself. So excited to see how the new space will look because this gym DESERVES more recognition. Best in NH by a long shot.

Owned by the strongest most talented trainers on the East Coast, Anthony and Val have brought so much experience and knowledge to New England. Their approach is solid, if your form is terrible they will fix it step by step with ques that actually make sense, if you hit mental blocks in your training they will find ways to work through it, if you are an athlete they will make you faster, more explosive, and stronger for game day.
THIS is where you need to be if you want be the BEST.

Great gym. Great coaches. Great atmosphere. A great community.
Anchor Athletics has all of the essential gym equipment and more specialized equipment than you could know what to do with. Anthony and Val have created a universally beneficial program that will make you stronger, faster, and more athletic. Based on their wealth of experience and personal successes in powerlifting, Anthony and Val will gladly tailor the programming to your wants and needs working around any injuries.
During the morning, the atmosphere is usually more relaxed and laid back; however, everybody is working hard. During the afternoon, loud music, clanging and banging weights, and being soaked in sweat after your workout is the norm. If you arrive between coaching hours for one-on-one training with one of the coaches, you may find people doing mobility work and stretching. There is something for everybody.
The members of Anchor Athletics are a melting pot of different goals and backgrounds, but everybody is welcome. As soon as I joined, I was welcomed with open arms and was quickly immersed in the Anchor Athletics culture. This is a true “no judgment zone” where twelve-year-olds, high school/college athletes, and senior citizens are often seen working out together.
Personally, my total has increased by 235 pounds over the last 3 or 4 months, I have become faster and more athletic, and generally, Anchor has exceeded the expectations I had set for it.
This gym has something for everybody, and I recommend this place to anybody who wants to improve themselves. Thank you, Anthony and Val. I look forward to seeing how this place grows in the next several years!

Anthony and Val are second to none in athletic and powerlifting training, and meeting non athletes needs as well. A great environment, great people, and constant dancing keep Anchor Athletics one of the best places to train in New Hampshire.

When I started at this gym, I was [grossly] overweight, had dangerously high blood pressure, sciatica pain, and very little muscle. I had always been embarrassed/intimidated to join a gym because I just imagined that I would get "laughed at" and nobody would give me the time of day. This couldn't be further from the truth about the trainers and atmosphere at this gym. I have been shown nothing but respect from all of the trainers and athletes/lifters. With the help and support of the owners, trainers, and my whole "gym family", I have lost considerable weight, I have no sciatica pain, my blood pressure is manageable without medication, and I feel (and look) so much better. I continue to get better, get stronger, set higher goals, and make new personal records while having fun doing it. In summary, it has been life changing. It is a commitment; nobody can do the work for you, but the trainers at Anchor Athletics and Strength can work with you to come up with an individualized program just for you regardless if you are already an elite athlete looking to take things to the next level or if you are just getting started in your fitness journey and are just looking to improve your basic quality of life. I can't recommend this gym and my gym family enough. I thank them everyday for helping me make life changing improvements that benefit me everyday.

A true mecca for strength and sports training in the state. Run by an elite husband wife Powerlifting duo whose combined knowledge is worth the price of admission.
