Scranton/Wilkes-Barre/NEPA

[Mark Fenner]

Hi folks,

Anyone know the strength scene in Northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA)? There is a possible move to the area in our future. We have most of the equipment we need to train at home: but, setting it up depends on getting the right living space. Also, we'd really like to become part of a community of folks into strength.

From http://www.powerliftingwatch.com/gyms I found:

Any comments? I'll contact these folks at some point.

Thanks,
Mark

PS Also looking for high quality martial arts in the area.

Not sure about NEPA, but Gene Rychlak lives in PA, and runs a lot of IPA meets in PA (for instance, the IPA Worlds are in York). There's got to be a decent powerlifting/strongman following somewhere up there. Maybe email Gene and ask about gyms.
