What Is F13
More Than
A Gym Floor
F13 Performance Center is next to Resistance Strength. Turf, Olympic platforms, HYROX equipment, and over 20 open squat racks. Everything you need is in here.
Every class is coached and every week of programming builds on the last. Most of our members are parents and busy adults who just want to show up and train. F13 fits into their lives, not the other way around.
Resistance Strength members get access to both facilities. You can add F13 classes to your existing membership, or join F13 classes on their own. Either way, you're in.
What We Do
The Training
01
Strength & Olympic Lifting
Squat. Pull. Press. Snatch. Clean. We've got the platforms and the coaching to do it right, and once you feel what it's like to move serious weight with solid technique, you won't want to train any other way.
Learn More →02
HYROX Conditioning
Every session is built around what race day actually demands. Ski ergs, sleds, rowing machines, sandbags, wall balls, and farmer carries. So when you're standing at that start line, you already know your training was enough.
Learn More →03
Sport Performance
Four days a week, small group, every session programmed with a purpose. The athletes who come through here show up to their next season faster, stronger, and ahead of the kids who spent their offseason doing nothing. This is where that gap gets built.
Learn More →04
In-Season Training
Two sessions a week, programmed around your schedule and your sport. Nothing that's going to beat you up before a game, but enough to keep your speed, strength, and explosiveness where they need to be. Our athletes notice the difference from what they were getting at school pretty quickly.

Four S's Of Performance
Every session at F13 trains all four. Strength gets you stronger, stability keeps you healthy, skill makes you efficient, sweat builds the engine. Drop any one of them and the rest break down.
01Strength
Get stronger. Feel it everywhere.
Every session is built to make you measurably stronger over time. We use progressive overload, smart programming, and the right equipment to ensure you're not just working hard. You're actually getting somewhere. Strength built here carries over to everything: sports, work, life.
02Stability
A strong foundation prevents everything.
Most injuries happen when strength outpaces control. We train your core, joints, and posterior chain to move with stability under load, so you stay healthy, train consistently, and build a body that holds up long-term. This is the work most gyms skip.
03Skill
Move well. Then move heavy.
Technique isn't a beginner thing. It's everything. We coach the movements that matter: squats, pulls, presses, carries. You'll learn to move with precision at lower intensity before adding load, so your form improves alongside your fitness rather than breaking down under it.
04Sweat
Conditioning with a purpose.
F13 conditioning isn't random cardio. It's targeted. Each session is designed to train specific energy systems, improve your capacity under fatigue, and build the kind of engine that makes everything else easier. You'll leave spent, but never wrecked without reason.

“Best gym in the Lehigh Valley, hands down. Customized programming, tailored to the athlete, and designed for scalable and sustainable improvement. A welcoming community fueled by its coaches and members who live to lift each other up.”
Kevin Shoemaker
“This place has been life changing for me in so many positive ways! I'm stronger and healthier now at almost 50 years old than I've ever been, physically and mentally. The support of coaches and members is like nowhere else. I consider the people here more than friends — they are family. And I love that I get to work out every day with my husband and son.”
Michelle Leigh
“I have been a member at many gyms. This is by far the best gym I have been to if you are looking for results and are serious about your fitness journey. The trainers are excellent and in excellent condition — you know you're learning from people who know how to get into elite shape. The training is very personalized and there is a sense of community at the gym. They have excellent routines pre-made and teach proper form for the workouts.”
