Savage City Strength

I’ve been working with Shawn since late 2023. He is very knowledgeable and committed. I placed podium in my first ever completion because of him, and I’m grateful for all that he has done for me. He is a true gem.

Savage City Strength is hands down the best gym I’ve ever been a part of.

From day one, I felt welcomed by a community of lifters who genuinely support each other. The people here aren’t just training partners — they become lifelong friends. The environment is positive, motivating, and driven by real passion.

The equipment? Next level. You’ll find specialty bars, calibrated plates, and other gear you’d never see at a commercial gym. Everything is set up to help you get stronger — no fluff, no gimmicks, just serious training.

And on top of that, you’re supporting a local, small business that puts everything back into the community. If you're looking for a gym that actually cares about your progress and your presence, Savage City is it.

Highly recommend checking it out — your future PRs will thank you.

A welcoming a supportive environment! The owner is very knowledgeable and bonus sells hot sauce and its amazing! I purchased 2 bottles. Made in America. Support small business. Highly recommend the gym and their hot sauce!

Love working out here, the trainer shawn is the most knowledgeable trainer I have ever worked with and I have tried a lot of them. He gives specific workouts based on your training goals.

After being made aware of it several months ago I finally had the opportunity to visit Savage City Strength just this past Monday. Located in Hillsborough, NJ it is THE place to go for all of your Powerlifting, Strongman, Olympic Weightlifting AND Brazilian Jujitsu needs. It's is the only serious gym in an area surrounded by commercial gyms which, as you can see in my pictures, includes tires that go all the way up to more than 600lbs, three squat racks, two platforms, multi colored Olympic style bumper plates and a wide selection of different kinds of specialty bars. Shawn, the owner, calls himself a "strength enthusiast" and it's been made clear to me that he lives and breathes all things strength sports. He also tries to hold events, mostly for charity, in the area every few months or so and will even be hosting the Special Olympics at his gym in August. So if you're in Central Jersey and all looking for a serious, hardcore gym, run by someone with a passion for what we stand for at an alarmingly low price, you must go to Savage City Strength today.
