Welcome to Beyond Strength Performance NOVA. We’re a training facility with a simple, but unrelenting, cause:

“Prior to joining BSP NOVA, I totally got into a slump. I wasn’t feeling motivated, I was doing very passive workouts that weren’t making a difference mentally or physically, and I felt old, fat, and tired—not at all like myself! I would randomly lift at the gym, but there was no structure or consistency to make progress, so it felt pretty pointless, and I’m sure I wasn’t building an effective routine the few days I would go work out.
Since coming back (I was a member years ago before moving out of the area), I’m in a happy place… Workouts are fun, I love that each program is like its own mini-challenge to push through, and I can see progress every time I read my sheet (even if it’s small changes in weights lifted going up). I’m no longer bored or writing off workouts because there’s that feeling of “whatever, I can do it later, it’s just the gym”.
The community is unreal. I’ve never been in one place with so many people that are allies and champions for each other, coming from so many different places with so many different goals.
And of course, the coaches are awesome and help build a supportive environment that’s incredibly welcoming and realistic. I’ve never felt pressure to be perfect, only encouragement to be mindful of decisions so I can make better ones to reach my own goals.
The camaraderie from coaches and members alike is something I’ve never felt so naturally anywhere else—it’s just there without being forced upon you. I’ve never seen someone walk out of BSP unhappy, even when I know we’ve all come in on rough days a time or two and wanted to be anywhere else.
I could gush on and on… but if you want a judgement-free place where you can set your own pace for progress and have a ridiculous amount of knowledge and resources to help, this is it!”

“Prior to working with BSP NOVA, my absolute biggest challenge was training for and running a marathon. I was outside of my comfort zone, and while I was amazed at what I could accomplish, I was also humbled when injury due to muscle weakness, repetitive movement, and imbalances made an already difficult challenge turn excruciatingly painful.
BSP has helped me to strengthen my weaknesses and unearth a body that moves more efficiently and with less pain. I have a newfound love of not being constantly injured and feeling and looking stronger!
I tell everyone, you’re not just signing up for a regular gym membership, you’re making an investment in finding your strongest, healthiest self. You’re going to be taught what to do to work on your specific needs and goals, learn what your body needs to function at its best, overcome injuries, look great and feel stronger.
Why do I stay? For the gains!”

“In my work with previous trainers and nutrition experts, there was an all or nothing approach that exacerbated my perfectionist tendencies. I would do so “good” with completely eliminating “bad” things like carbs or whatever, or complete a juice cleanse and then completely fall off the wagon because I couldn’t sustain the diet. One of the greatest lessons I have learned from the BSP coaches is that perfection is the enemy of good. I love their realistic, long-term approach to training and nutrition, and it has helped me connect my training to my bigger core values of fun, service to others, and healthy mind, body and soul. This has helped create sustainability in my training and nutrition journey, as well as stopped the cycle of perfection, failure and guilt.
Any day I get to go to BSP NOVA is a great day. When I first started, I was amazed at the intentionality and their commitment to improving themselves and the lives of those that they work with. It was amazing to find a gym that was so ideologically aligned with my core values. I not only feel like I am getting amazing coaching, but the coaches actually care about my physical and life goals. Unlike other gyms, they have an amazing and large community of women who work out. It has been a joy meeting other goal-oriented women who support each other in their fitness and career goals. The other day while working out another female member approached me and said, “That sled-pull looks really strong, Natasha. Great job.” I realized it was the first time in a long time that I had received a compliment from another woman that was not based on what I was wearing or how I looked. Those are the kind of people I want to be around every day. I feel so reinvigorated after a workout, not only because I have had an excellent workout, but also because I am surrounded by positive people. �
Training at BSP has helped me show up in a bigger way in all aspects of life. I think when you feel strong physically, you feel strong mentally. In my professional life, I started to see myself as a leader. In turn, this gave me the confidence to speak out when I felt I needed to and to go for certain promotions and programs that before I felt to overwhelmed to approach. At the gym itself, I was so proud when I hit 2 strength standards for deadlifts and squats 2 days in a row! I felt like superwoman.
There is no other gym that will take the time to get to know you like BSP does. Oftentimes, we think of just working out. But there is so much more to what BSP has to offer. It is life coaching. Everyone needs a cheerleader and someone who will challenge you and call you out on your BS—that’s what BSP coaches do. There’s a reason you work out that is bigger than just “I want to look good.” BSP will help you discover that reason and the honing of that internal compass will be cause for big, lasting life changes.
Don’t waste your time, money or energy anywhere else! This place is worth every penny and every single person who walks through those doors is a gem of a person that you should get to know!”
