Joining the darkside…
RIP powerlifting teletubby. I’ll replace you with a powerlifting @guineapig whose hunger for rep PRs cannot be satiated nor will his devotion to the almighty Church of the IPF/Affiliates be shaken by mere strongman circus acts lel.

Maybe see if you can get a free trial/pass to check out the gym/s and their equipment before you get stuck with a shitty contract. Get a feel for the gym and its members/atmosphere before you commit.
In the mean time chuck some searches into google maps and see what comes up. Where I am there’s a decent strongman/powerlifting/OL gym close-ish and didn’t even know it until I had a google of it.
At worst you can try to make do with what you got tho it won’t be as fun without all the toys:
