Coach everyone like it matters
Whether you are chasing a 500 pound deadlift or your first pushup, the coaching on your set is the same. Standards do not bend because the goal is small.
Home / About Us
A gym built by lifters, for anyone willing
Hewn opened its doors in 2014 with eleven members and a landlord who thought we would not last the year. Twelve years later the waitlist is gone but the floor is still full.
Our story
Stay focused, stay fit
Marcus and Dana opened Hewn after years of watching big box gyms sign people up and then forget they existed. The idea was simple. One floor, honest equipment, coaches who watch every set, and prices posted on the wall so nobody has to sit through a pitch to learn them.
The first winter was quiet enough that we repainted the walls ourselves. By the second summer the 6 am crew had filled the rack schedule and we broke through into the unit next door for the turf zone. The pool came later, in 2019, when the building beside us finally sold.
What has not changed is the rule we started with. Coach everyone like they are training for something that matters, because they are. It might be a competition, a new knee, or just being able to lift their kid without wincing. All of it counts here.

What we hold to
Four things we refuse to skip
Community over contracts
Members train together, hold seats at the coffee bar, and notice when you miss a week. That is worth more than any discount we could run.
Effort over ego
The heaviest lift in the building does not matter as much as the one done with intent. We care that you worked, not what you loaded.
Leave it better
Rerack the plates, wipe the bench, say hi to the new face. The culture of a gym is just a thousand small habits repeated daily.
