“Rent Your Equipment Elsewhere”

The build out of WAKA Fitness is happening, and we look good under construction.

Dennis Dybdal, Miruka Martin, Jon Wagner and I envisioned from the beginning that we would build a gym that’s smart enough to have met design and function.  This means we hope our design will reinvent the concrete fitness palaces of your past. Likewise, we hope that the function of our space moves you beyond running on a treadmill for 30 min/3-5 a week or bench-pressing more than your own weight. 

We also wanted the gym to reflect our core philosophy: “Live with Ambition”.  Ambition is not about being the best or the strongest, it is about taking control and ownership over your health and fitness in the way that works best for you. We strongly believe that our space should reflect and accommodate this philosophy. And at WAKA there will be plenty of places for you to push yourself further. You can maximize your body movements and agility in the play area.  You can expand your fitness knowledge from socializing with fellow members or reading from the fitness library in the lounge area.  You can discuss goals and improvements with your personal trainer in the consultancy room.  You can relax and de-stress in our spacious locker rooms.

In other words, we are trying to prove that a gym is more than just the bikes, the dumbbells and the weight machines. The best gyms form a strong bond between their gym environment, their members and their fitness philosophy.  The worst “rent out” bought equipment to visitors for small or exorbitant fees.

Rent your equipment elsewhere, WAKA is looking for long-term tenants only.

Truthfully yours,
