I’ve been powerlifting and training at Overload for almost a year- May 10th is my anniversary, and the impact to my life that Mimosa, the Overload team, and this community has brought to me is honestly life-changing. For so many years I flirted with fitness and tried so many different programs, but I would always fall off. The accountability, patience, support, and encouragement that I have received at Overload have finally allowed me to make it a lifestyle. In a year, I’ve lost 30 pounds but that’s not even the most important part. I’ve watched my body transform into a strong machine that allows me to do things I’ve never done before. The strength training I received has inadvertently changed my relationship with cardio, with food and with pain. I have cerebral palsy and chronic pain has been a lifetime battle. I can say for the first time in my life I am pain-free/ except when I’m sore from the gym. 😊 I will be forever grateful for the tools I’ve learned here and highly recommend anyone thinking about their Fitness to go in for a consultation.

"gym hours" on the door but no staff, no mention of "appointment only" day passes on the website.

tl:dr
*not the safest space for women*

I joined this gym during the lockdown. It is a well-equipped gym, and I was impressed with the owner’s dedication and knowledge. My days of waiting for racks at other local gyms were over because he had plenty of squat racks. I could focus on my strength goals here. I liked that men left me in peace here—no ignorant, unsolicited advice or predatory leers. There were classes for local youth. To me, the owner was like a community leader. I was so impressed that I continued to pay for my membership even during months I could not go.

One day, the two deadlift platforms were empty, so I chose one and began my training. Owner walked in and unracked my plates without a word. I asked why and he yelled at me for using a deadlift platform and ignoring a posted paper of "new rules". I hadn’t seen the paper on the side wall; it wasn't there a couple of days before.

Given my “infraction," the owner's anger seemed excessive, bullying, thuggish. A witness later apologized for his response. I felt unsafe. On a different day, I had witnessed another guy in the gym insulting a woman but didn't register how hostile men could be to women here until it happened to me. I doubt the owner would have reacted this way with another male. I canceled my family's memberships.

I could have discussed the incident with the owner, but when we feel threatened, our peace is more important than confronting someone, so I left. This is my personal experience. I still think this gym is a good choice if you are a guy who likes powerlifting but I wouldn't recommend it to women.

Overload is a premium space with serious members and great trainers. I received excellent advice and personal training from Carlos and Anya over the last couple years. If you'd like to avoid the kids fixing their makeup in the mirrors at bigger gym, sign up here instead.

Great place to powerlift! Staff are very welcoming and the equipment is top notch. I was traveling in the Santa Fe area and was able to drop in for a workout. If I lived here this would be my gym.

I dropped in during my trip to Santa Fe. The gym owner, Carlos, was super easy to work with and set me up for the week with no problem. The bigger corporate gyms in the area wouldn’t let me pay for a single week!

This gym is amazing. Great equipment and just a ton of different specialty bars and gear. I had great workouts and got to mix things up a bit with some equipment we don’t have at my home gym.

The whole facility was super clean. Other lifters were friendly and respectful of equipment and of each other.

In addition to being fully loaded for powerlifting, the gym also has cardio machines, cable machines, and a full range of dumbbells. There’s really something for everyone here.

Whether you’re just visiting or live in the area, check this gym out.
