Equipment
More machines.
More angles.
Equipment depth is the reason people drive past other gyms to train here. Five zones, laid out so a busy evening never costs you a movement.
Why it matters
One muscle. Four directions.
Variety isn't a vanity metric. A muscle trained from several angles keeps responding after the obvious lifts stop working, and a deeper selection means you never lose a session because one machine is occupied.
It also lowers the barrier for anyone starting out: if a barbell movement doesn't fit yet, there is almost always a machine that does.
Legs & Glutes
Leg equipment paradise
The reason people drive past other gyms. Lower body gets the largest share of the floor at Redwood — plate-loaded frames, selectorized stacks and free-weight stations sitting side by side, so a busy evening never costs you a movement.
In this zone
- Leg press
- Hack squat
- Belt squat
- Hip thrust
- Glute drive
- Abduction & adduction
- Leg curl & extension
- Calf raise
Why it helps your training
- · Train quads, hamstrings, glutes and calves without waiting for one machine
- · Change the angle instead of only adding weight when progress stalls
- · Machine options for lifters who can't yet load a barbell squat

Upper Body
Every angle covered
Chest, back, shoulders and arms across converging presses, rows, pulldowns and cable stations. The upper-body floor is built around independent arms and multiple grip positions rather than one machine per muscle.
In this zone
- Chest press
- Incline press
- Seated row
- Lat pulldown
- Cable crossover
- Shoulder press
- Pullover
- Arm isolation
Why it helps your training
- · Independent arms even out left-to-right strength differences
- · Cables cover the angles a fixed bar path can't reach
- · Flat, incline and decline pressing without rebuilding a bench setup

Free Weights
Steel, iron, progress
A full dumbbell run, barbells and bumper plates, benches and racks. The free-weight area is laid out with walking room around each rack so heavy sets don't crowd the people next to you.
In this zone
- Dumbbells
- Barbells
- Bumper plates
- Benches
- Squat racks
- Specialty bars
Why it helps your training
- · Barbell and dumbbell work builds stability machines can't train
- · Bumper plates allow controlled deadlift and floor work
- · Enough benches that a superset doesn't mean losing your station

Functional Training
Move like an athlete
A green turf lane and open functional area for sleds, ropes, carries and conditioning work — the kind of floor space most independent gyms this size give up to add more machines.
In this zone
- Turf area
- Battle ropes
- Suspended ropes
- Pulleys
- Sled work
- Kettlebells
Why it helps your training
- · Sled and carry work builds conditioning without impact
- · Turf gives athletes a place to train movement, not just muscles
- · Rope and pulley work fills the gap between cardio and lifting

Cardio
Warm up, burn out
A dedicated cardio area for conditioning before or after you lift, plus the aerobic room that hosts Redwood's weight-lifting classes in the evening.
In this zone
- Treadmills
- Stair climbers
- Bikes
- Ellipticals
- Rowers
- Aerobic room
Why it helps your training
- · Warm up properly instead of queuing for a single treadmill
- · Low-impact options for members training around joint limits
- · The aerobic room doubles as the class space three nights a week

Featured machines
Worth the drive.

Heavy leg work with the load hanging from the hips instead of compressing the spine.
