About Sasquatch:
At Sasquatch, we know that strength training is the gateway to long term wellness; We know that good relationships are the precursor to long and fulfilling lives and we know that everyone deserves the confidence that comes from feeling good in their own skin.That’s why we’ve designed a program that gives real, regular people what they need: results that last, confidence, and peace of mind knowing their health is “taken care of”. We also know that our members’ lives don’t begin and end in the gym, so we emphasize the importance of “the other 23” – all the hours that they aren’t with us in the gym.

- Be Warm – We care genuinely about people, and it shows.
- Be Honest – We tell the truth, even when it’s hard.
- Be Willing – We do what it takes.
- Believe – We believe in ourselves, our teams, and everything Sasquatch, or we aren’t here.
