Hi, I'm Geoff Girvitz
I never liked gym culture but I founded a gym. Isn’t that weird?
My own love of exercise came from learning how good it made me feel. I came to view it as an essential supplement to my enjoyment of life. Movement helped me think better, sleep better, and feel better.
I wanted to share that benefit—but in a way that aligned with my values. So I developed Bang. Here, you’ll feel comfortable enough to get uncomfortable and the do work that will move you forward.
