BASE is a brand new semi-private strength and conditioning studio gym here, in Cluj-Napoca. We provide trainings held by experienced, passionate coaches. We encourage you to work out and discover yourself, accessing your inner power and strength while you're at it.
Our very most important purpose is creating an active community of people who share the same missions and passions. For us, the most important one is physical activity.
We want to teach our community that there's no such thing as negotiating with exercise. It's something for which you will have to set your calendar and, according to the trainer meetings, make the effort of showing up. Remember, your body doesn't care if your mind isn't feeling motivated - Appetite comes with eating.
Even though we could pull out all the data about how sticking to a schedule helps improve your mental health and stability along with many other benefits, we bet you know that already. If not, be rest assured - we'll let you know.
We got the BASE, you got the power. Let's do this!
