About Non-Typical Strength


Non-Typical Strength was founded with one mission: to create a space where lifters of all levels can push past limitations. Unlike big-box gyms, we specialize in equipment built for serious strength training — bars, racks, and machines designed to handle more weight and intensity.


Our founder, Edward Layton, is not only a national-record-holding powerlifter and holds multiple Oklahoma state records, but is also a registered nurse. That unique background combines unmatched experience on the platform with medical expertise, giving our members the tools to train hard while staying safe.


With years of experience in competitive lifting, Edward brings both passion and knowledge to every member’s journey. Whether your goal is to lift heavier, build muscle, or simply become a healthier version of yourself, our team is here to support you every step of the way.
