Red Dog Strong Strength & Conditioning

Red Dog Strong Strength & Conditioning is a strength gym in a flex-space park on Merritt Capital Drive, off Capital Boulevard near Ligon Mill Road in south Wake Forest. It started life in 2015 as Red Dog CrossFit a short drive away on Ligon Mill Road.

The gym is built around powerlifting, with IPF-approved competition equipment and a powerlifting team, and it also runs one-on-one personal training with custom plans, group strength and conditioning classes and a youth athletic performance program. Members have round-the-clock access to the floor, and a sauna and cold plunge handle recovery after heavy sessions.
