Kindly Savage · The Pit

The Pit

An outdoor training ground built for the work that doesn't happen on a machine. Tire flips. Sled pushes. Atlas stones. The raw stuff that built Todd Laux's name — and the gym's.

The philosophy

Harder
to Kill

Todd Laux built PRiDE on one idea: train the work that makes you more capable, not the work that just makes you tired. This is functional fitness with teeth — and a culture that backs it up.

Harder to Kill

Every session makes you more capable than you walked in. Strength that shows up in real life — not just on a machine.

Todd's Culture

This gym has a personality because Todd Laux does. No pretense, no posers — just people who came to work.

Functional First

We train the movements your body actually needs. Lift, pull, carry, push — the stuff that keeps you dangerous for decades.
