About

Death Comes Lifting is a goth gym space that is exactly as welcoming, dark, and unique as it sounds. Deadlift in the dungeon, get personal training to "strengthen your corpse," wake up with "Mourning Yoga," get strong in a Vampire or Lifting Dead Group Training, or just pop in to grab a free coffee and hang out in the horror-themed community space in the back among the VHS collection and 70s-era turntable (the "Black Sabbath Room").

Horror fans, goths, punks, metalheads, misfits, fitness newbies, and experts alike are welcomed at this gym. Focusing on making a space for the freaks, owner Zak Bellante's community-oriented approach means there's something in this space for everyone who feels there might be—even if you don't want to sweat.  

From the blacked-out walls to the zombie-head kettlebells, every inch of this space is designed to create an aesthetic and vibe that appeals to the punk inside. Death Comes Lifting has a wide variety of horror, tarot, Satanic, vampire, and music-themed merchandise. 

Stop by and see how you fit in at this deliciously darker crypt gym for yourself.
