The house
Make quitting easy. Watch nobody quit.
Rae Kilnhouse's founding bet: a gym that publishes its prices, coaches off your actual log, and lets you cancel in ninety seconds has nothing to fear from any of those three facts. Seven years in, the bet is winning.
How the house works
Prices on the wall
Every rate, painted where you can read it from the door. Gyms that hide prices are charging you for the hiding.
Coaching off your numbers
Your log is the program. Blocks build on what you actually lifted — not what a template printed in January assumed.
Ninety-second cancellation
From the portal, 15 days' notice, no retention script. Retention is Tuesday's job, not a contract's.
Rae Kilnhouse, head coach
A coach who got tired of sales floors.
Rae spent years coaching inside big-box gyms where the real product was the contract and the coaching was the bait. Kilnhouse opened in 2017 in an old foundry building with twelve racks, wall-painted prices, and a coaching staff paid for member results, not sign-ups. The Foundations program exists because Rae remembers being the newest person in the room — and how little it takes to make that person never come back.

Judge us by one session.
It's free, it's coached, and it's scaled to exactly where you are. The barbell doesn't care where that is — neither do we.
