Body Builders

Fantastic experience: Great place. Old school gym with all the right equipment.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Ohio! One of the best gyms in the country if you are into old school bodybuilding gyms.

Fantastic experience: Great gym its like the old school body builders gym. Lots of free weights.

Fantastic experience: I needed a place to workout while taking a job in Akron for a year and let me tell you, this place exceeded any expectation that I had. It's a rugged old school style gym with iron weights and some cool equipment you won't find at more commercial gyms. It's the type of atmosphere that makes you want to push yourself and perhaps yell out "lightweight" or "ain't nothin' but a peanut" or maybe even a "yeah buddy" if it feels natural. If I ever find myself in Akron for an extended period of time again, I'll be back like I never left.

Fantastic experience: THE best gym I’ve been to. I no longer reside in Ohio, and haven’t found a gym that compares. They have machines there that are not found at ANY other gyms I’ve been to. If I returned to Ohio, I’d DEFINITELY reinstate my membership! There are no “gym rats” there. They are very serious and committed to bodybuilding goals. 25 years ago, Pep and Kenny ran it, and were excellent with advice and techniques. I want to order some of their merchandise to advertise for them!

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym. Everyone is very respectful of others in the gym. Everyone racks the weights they used. People are so friendly and the owner Fred introduces himself to everyone and wants to make sure they are comfortable in the gym. I live in Vegas where we have 1000,00 square feet gyms and this gym was much more fun and comfortable to work out in. I highly recommend this gym no matter what your level of fitness is.

Fantastic experience: Awesome, no-nonsense gym that allows drop-ins for a small fee. Great place to work out if you’re a local or just visiting the area!

Fantastic experience: This is the gym where I truly learned to lift. It’s the best of the best.

Fantastic experience: Wow

Fantastic experience: This gym is a throwback to the iron meccas of the 70s and 80s. No glitz or glamor, just hard core weights and machines I haven't seen for decades. The most interesting part, though, is the commoraderie and community of the members and owner, Fred. If you want to get your yoke on, this is the place!

Fantastic experience: Low key old school power lifting/bodybuilding gym. Large selection of machines and free weights.

Negative experience: This gym is just a little bit better then planet fitness not by much

Fantastic experience: Just bought a year membership. I even have a garage gym. This place has just about any machine to work any part from any angle! Awesome people, and a wealth of knowledge. Locker room and showers too. Old school for sure. Re-rack your weights! Edit: about 6 months later... New owner has been working on some updates. Open on Sundays now too! Usually there's no wait for any machine either. Bump! Still a cool place! Been going more on the regular now and it's just a really great group of people there! Quality time spent working on your body and mind! Some new equipment! Monolift, adjustable bench, etc! And more on the way...

Fantastic experience: This place is the best for workout intensity. Everyone friendly. Check your ego at the door

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym

Fantastic experience: Great place to go train with a no nonsense atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Very nice owner!

Fantastic experience: I go there do what I need to do, nobody bothers me, equipment is all in good condition, months pass price is a steal if you actually go enough, never really packed when I go and this is the first gym I ever went to by myself

Positive experience: It was okay gym

Negative experience: Holes in the ceiling. Rust falling from the ceiling. Buckets and tarps everywhere to catch rain water and falling rusty god knows what. Rust on every piece of equipment. Looks like nothing has been updated, fixed, or cleaned since the 80’s.

Fantastic experience: Best gym

Positive experience: Ok

Fantastic experience: Been a member for 39 years. Outstanding place

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Northeast Ohio. Most gyms are pick up joints. Most gyms have the fancy equipment and bright lights. Very few gyms have the gritty look to them that's perfect for hardcore bodybuilders who want to work and not socialize. Body Builders is a hardcore gym with the perfect atmosphere to go in and get the most out of your workouts. If you're a hardcore bodybuilder, or a novice, this is the gym for you.

Fantastic experience: The best gym around by far! I checked out most of them in the area but this one really stood out. Very nice people and great management.

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever. Lived all across the country and nothing compares. Hard core. If you are a bodybuilder or powerlifter this place is for you. Death metal playing and chalk on the floor, nuff said!

Fantastic experience: The best gym around by far! I checked out most of them in the area but this one really stood out. Very nice people and great management.

Fantastic experience: I know the man that owns this establishment he goes by Pep great guy great business

Fantastic experience: I gotta get back in there, I been gone because I hade stuff I had to take care of plus I don't want people to see how much weight I put on. When I get my weight back down I'll be back.

Fantastic experience: My first time here, I like it. Can't wait to get back here.

Fantastic experience: A piece of Valhalla on earth....Hoa!

Fantastic experience: Love the place, best gym around,,like a family atmosphere,,everybody's welcome from young to old,,awesome
