Welcome to The Pit

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym Truly 24/7 unlike PF and most gyms and unique equipment

Fantastic experience: Might be the first gym I've ever been to that actually had the equipment bolted to the ground. Four squat racks, five standard bench setups, six deadlift platforms, two lat pulldowns, even two hip thrust machines. Mix of cable-based and plate-loaded machines so you can do whichever you prefer. Chalk not provided, but permitted. Plus, the place is so spacious, even at its busiest I never feel crowded.... And that was before they took over the next unit to be the cardio room!

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best gyms I have ever been to. All the equipment you could ever want, and the owners are just wonderful people. What a great place to train. Check it out!

Fantastic experience: Would it be possible to sign up for an annual membership at the gym? And how mach is going to be?

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a lot of machines to get that work in. Sauna could be better. Customer service is awesome + the tour of the gym. I’m all in

Fantastic experience: The Pit 24hr Gym is a top-notch fitness facility with great equipment, a motivating atmosphere, and 24/7 access. Perfect for any fitness level!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym. Visiting Akron for Christmas and was surprised by this gem - has everything you need for powerlifting, bodybuilding, conditioning and everything in between. Staff was friendly and space was very clean. Equipment was well maintained. For $15/day and $30/week it’s a great deal. They also offered recovery services (plunge, etc) for an additional $12/day. I will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Everyone is pretty chill, clean environment, and the employees are great.

Negative experience: According to my experiences in this gym. I found lots of uncomfortable materials like biceps curls machines are not comfortable due to benching are moving. And The major mistake is mirror setups it has to be little bit down to get a good view during the workout. And also they has to put more mirror in the deadlift areas.

Fantastic experience: Ever since they’ve moved to this bigger, better location, these guys keep adding more and more excellent equipment. The place is well kept and they are indeed open 24/7 - no fine print. The only time I couldn’t get in was when they made the move to where they are now. My only issue-which is not the gyms fault- is that there are a staggering number of people who don’t rack weights when they’re done. Read the yellow signs, ok? Or I’ll tell my dad.

Fantastic experience: I chose to train at WTTP while visiting Akron. It’s a large and clean facility. The staff I interacted with were young, and at the same time, knowledgeable and respectful.

Positive experience: Clean environment, has a bit of everything and I don't have to complete for anything. Reason they are missing a star is stemming from not having certain equipment and the distance the plates are from the benches.

Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve been too. Great equipment, staff is helpful and friendly, all around good atmosphere. If your into strength training and powerlifting this is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: Been to multiple gyms in the city. This is the best one I’ve seen. Some gyms would be nice with quality equipment, but they lacked that culture of hard work (and 24h access). This gym is clean, and well managed. Signed up for a year immediately. Owners are also kind and tend to the facility well.

Fantastic experience: My Fiancé and I started coming here a couple weeks ago. The gym is clean. The hours are fantastic. There is a lot of equipment and little odds and ends you don’t really think about that make your work out more fun that is provided. And yesterday was the topper. When we were heading out one of the owners which we hadn’t met yet stopped us with such an inviting and pleasant departure greeting. He introduced us to his wife as they are both the owners and they were so sweet and kind. Their demeanor immediately made me realize we made the right choice starting here. You don’t feel judged and the atmosphere is top notch! This place Is awesome and motivates you on your journey to becoming stronger and feeling better about yourself! Definitely worth coming in and seeing all it has to offer!!! 10/10 we definitely recommend!!! And NO the owners did not even ask us to review I wanted too!!

Fantastic experience: Best gym I have ever been at!!!

Fantastic experience: Been going here since early 2019, awesome members, even better staff. Feels like an evergrowing family at The Pit. I’ve recommended this gym to just about everyone I know and that’s because of the people there, let alone the amazing price, quality of equipment, and the luxury of a 24/7 gym. If you’re in the Akron area you need to be at The Pit.

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out. Not too crowded. Tons of great equipment from general fitness to strongman. People are friendly and the place is clean. The front desk help don't just sit there and talk like other gyms. They are always cleaning!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality started going here a month ago.The vibe of the place from the minute you enter the door is awesome. Great equipment, very clean and the owners are very nice people. They always greet you with a smile. makes you feel like family .

Fantastic experience: Good gym. People are serious about their work out. No body bothers you, and you can be human. If you can't show the pain, you'll never show gain.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I've ever been a member of, and I used to work at a Gold's Gym. This gym has pretty much everything to help you with what you're training for whether it be a strongman competition or MMA. I highly recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: My friends all work out here and they all love it. For a measly $10-$20 a month you get 24/7 access to lots of great equipment.

Fantastic experience: There is no better gym than WELCOME TO THE PIT!!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing customer service, and an amazing gym. I’d give this 100 stars if I could.

Fantastic experience: Idek

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality I love this gym! Open 24/7. Never have any issues with over crowding like I did at my previous gym. Plenty of racks and platforms. Quality machines. Staff and other members are friendly and supportive.

I have nothing but great things to say about this gym and highly recommend it, they have something for everyone! Best gym I've ever been apart of without a doubt!

Fantastic experience: Incredibly nice staff and equipment. While the gym itself is small, they make excellent use of the space available, and since I typically came in at 4AM, had the place to myself. The rates were very acceptable as well.

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out. Not too crowded. Tons of great equipment from general fitness to strongman. People are friendly and the place is clean. The front desk help don't just sit there and talk like other gyms. They are always cleaning!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym and the people there. It's open 24/7 and is never overly crowded even during popular times. They have a large collection of dumbbells and plates so you never need to wait for equipment to become available. I love have a turf area to push sleds, do farmer carries, and yoke carries. They are constantly added new equipment and it is always clean. The best part is the friendliness of the owners, employees, and other gym-goers.

Negative experience: Went to check it out an maybe sign up for membership an couldn't get in the door rang buzzer, yet no response walking back to car an a member stood in window an walked away maybe next time I guess

Negative experience: It was locked and u couldn't go in even though there were people in there. They just looked at you like ur an alien and then turned thier heads away from the door this happened twice at different times I looked online and it only says pay then they'll give u info who is dumb enough to do that . . .besides the ones I seen I guess

Fantastic experience: started going here a month ago.The vibe of the place from the minute you enter the door is awesome. Great equipment, very clean and the owners are very nice people. They always greet you with a smile. makes you feel like family .

Fantastic experience: Welcome to the Pit sets itself apart from other gyms in the area by the community it has built. This is a strong man gym where the focus isn’t being the strongest person in the building but the strongest version of YOU. The people around you are there to help you grow and achieve whatever your goals are. Not sure how to use a piece of equipment and there’s no staff around? Ask someone and guaranteed you’ll make a new friend. The owners are constantly updating equipment and refreshing different facets of the gym to keep things fresh and exciting. Members have swipe cards so even when the building is unmanned by staff, you feel safe working out at all hours of the night. I love being a member at WTTP and I look forward to seeing what changes come in the next year of my membership.

Fantastic experience: This is by far the best gym I have ever gone to. Everyone is super nice and the owners are some of the coolest people I've met. They are constantly getting new equipment and reinvesting in the place. It feels like every couple weeks they are getting a new machine / implement. Whether you come for bodybuilding, powerlifting, strongman, or weightlifting; they have the gear you need and then some. I'd give this place 6/5 if I could.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality

Fantastic experience: Me and my husband are visiting from MN and they had everything we needed to train! My husband was super stoked with all of the strongman equipment they had. And also the owners were THE SWEETEST people! We will definitely be coming back whenever we are in town!

Positive experience: I love this place, never crowded ( kinda didn't want to say this because now it might be) but its basically a body builders gym. Truly 24/7 access to members when you get your keycard. Always clean, and staff is friendly as well as the patrons.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym for a beginner all the way up to competition level! Tons of equipment and owners that care and are very helpful!

Fantastic experience: Small but solid place and people.

Fantastic experience: Theres absolutely nothing to not like about this gym. Quality equipment, great price, clean facility, and excellent staff. Also the 24/365 access is a godsend for those who work late/early shifts. The owners care about member feedback and are always open to suggestions. I rate this gym 12 out of 10

Fantastic experience: If you’re tired of overpriced, crowded gyms come check out Welcome to the Pit! Suitable for any level of experience, with a focus on powerlifting and strength training. Quality equipment, clean gym, and friendly owners. Best gym around.

Fantastic experience: Having a friendly staff and 24/7 access is perfect for the busy schedules we all keep. WTTP is a greater place to train for those who take their lifestyle goals seriously and want to improve themselves. Whether first-timer, beginner, intermediate or advanced competitor; you'll find that this is a friendly atmosphere with no pressure. As well, the equipment is diverse so that when you visit or join, you'll be able to fit in the perfect regimen for the type of training you wish. For those more serious who focus on powerlifting; available are not only the standard iron plates, but also pounds, kilos, bumper plates, five benches, a monolift, multiple power racks for squats or pin pulls, different style barbells, cables, racks of dumbells and certainly deadlift platforms. You are not kicked out of this gym if you grunt or make noises when you lift. I strongly recommend a try to Welcome to the Pit!

Fantastic experience: I’ve only ever really workout at commercial gyms. For me this is the best gym I’ve been to. Especially as a inspiring powerlifter, they have everything I need and more. I love that they have more than two benches and three deadlift platforms. It’s 24/7 and the gym is always clean, plus you can beat their price as a gym.

Fantastic experience: I can't speak highly enough about this gym. If you are serious about your training, there is no other gym in the area that you should consider. Toby and his wife are some of the kindest, welcoming, and knowledgeable people I have ever met. I am constantly asking questions and throwing out ideas and they always respond with a smile and helpful feedback. The equipment is top-shelf whether you're a serious powerlifter, olympic weightlifter, crossfitter, bodybuilder, or average fitness enthusiast. Add 24/7 access and unbelievable membership fees and you have a unicorn of a gym. You're remiss if you live in Akron and don't come check this place out.

Fantastic experience: Family owned gym with Top of the line equipment, owners of the facility are the nicest and open people heart people that are down to earth! 24/7 is a big perk, but the best part is the low monthly membership with no fee!

Fantastic experience: WTTP is the place to be not only if you are serious about your programming and lifting, but also if you are a novice and want a relaxed atmosphere with quite a variety of equipment. I have trained at WTTP since January 2018. From the moment I stepped in for a welcoming tour, I was convinced that this facility could help me be me and assist me to focus on the goals I have set for myself. For the powerlifter, there are varieties of bars for each lift. For the bodybuilder, there are many styles of weight plates and pairs of dumbells up to 150 lbs. For the Olympic lifters there are Oly plates, matts, platforms and boxes for pulls. For those who want to get on a bike, a treadmill or elliptical, you are accommodated. A few added attractions that I sometimes use are the Prowler and the Yoke carry . Many people use the battle ropes and sandbags. For 24/7 access and very reasonable rates, you can't lose for checking out Welcome to the Pit

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place. It is clean and had everything you need at a reasonable price. You also can't beat the 24 hour access!
