Fantastic experience: Always an incredible workout. Albany Strength has a friendly loyal community.

Negative experience: Not an Olympic lifting gym!!! You are paying for what you get shity $5 gym.

Fantastic experience: Best place to purchase supplements...hands down. A great selection... protein for under $30....pre- workout....fat burners...drinks...andro...peptides....creatine & more. Albany Strength has it. Then the gym....you want hardcore ??? You can to the right place. Can't miss at A.S.

Fantastic experience: Definitely a great place for my workouts and have a supportive atmosphere that motivates me to reach my fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the area without a doubt

Fantastic experience: Honestly want a judgment free zone. Go here I love this gym they are the best and honestly I haven't met anyone there that wouldn't spot you quick if you asked. Great gym and overall energy there.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym for serious training. Tons of equipment, platforms, racks, chalk, specialty bars. Great vibe and $5 day passes.

Fantastic experience: My FAVORITE GYM in Albany. This is a REAL MANS GYM. The Guys in here are Huge and Badass. It's Like WorkingOut in a Maximum Security Prison Weight Pit. Awesome Place, Cool People.

Fantastic experience: The best gym I've ever been to in my life. If your aim is to get locked in and hyper focused on strength training in an environment where everyone else shares the same goal, look no further. Best. Gym. Ever.

Fantastic experience: Great gym to move some iron around. Plus they play heavy jams so leave your earbuds at home. They have cheap day passes if you’re a traveler. I wish I had a gym like this back home.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, proper weightlifting / powerlifting. Crazy cheap for a day pass (5 bucks) and staff were lovely. Well worn equipment but all well maintained and loads of it so no waiting around. Would lift again

Fantastic experience: Excellent "old-school" gym. Super friendly and helpful staff. The equipment has a well-worn patina -- which I love. Very reasonable day-pass fee structure.

Fantastic experience: Covenant, a gym where you got everything you need to build and sculpt your body. Everyday people and gym rats alike can go and feel comfortable

Fantastic experience: Awesome store & gym, super friendly staff and great service

Fantastic experience: Badass gym full of great people.

Fantastic experience: Muy buen lugar para entrenar

Fantastic experience: Best Gym Ever!!!

Fantastic experience: Great workout material for any level bodybuilding enthusiast

Positive experience: Cool and professional. Real people mot bots like at best

Positive experience: Has everything ypu need for a decent workout. Equipment is older. Kinda busy.

Fantastic experience: Used to go to PF but tried this place and switched. Great atmosphere for a workout.

Fantastic experience: Great Local old school gym. No contracts, hidden or maintenance fees. Open 365 days.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. They have all the basics, a ton of dumbbells, and plenty of space to get your workout done.

Fantastic experience: This is a purist, no-frills powerlifter gym. Great selection of free weights, Olympic weights, & machines. (This is the only place I’ve seen 200lb dumbbells). Their membership cost structure is gloriously straightforward & incredibly reasonable. They do day passes without trying to trick you into a commitment. My favorite gym. But if you’re looking for sterile, shiny equipment and VIP membership packages maybe this isn’t the gym for you

Fantastic experience: My go-to gym when in town. Charges a good day pass. Has a great nutrition shop for all your protein needs. Old school gym. Has serious lifters. My favorite place to work out in Albany

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. I do both lifting and Muay Thai here. Sick environment and amazing people. 10/10 recommend for anyone tryna get massive

Fantastic experience: Will go to Albany Strength gym anytime I'm in Albany! Staff are friendly, equipment is old but all in working order, and the people that work out there are nice. The 3 things you want at a gym.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Albany. Great environment, and everyone is there to take their lift/workouts seriously.

Fantastic experience: For a "muscle gym" this place has an awesome selection of free weights (Not a fitness gym) Chaulk is free for weight lifters

Fantastic experience: Best gym there is! People here are committed to hitting their goals and everyone here is friendly with one another and this place is where you should go if you want to hit your fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: Best gym around

Fantastic experience: I graduated college and moved back home this past spring and miss this gym so much. Best gym Ive been apart of, unbelievable atmosphere. Great prices and friendly staff.

Negative experience: Best fitness has the worst customer service. They only treat you good while you are opening an account and within the 30 day free trial. They give you a hard time to cancel your membership and when you cancel a membership you end up paying more than what you bargain for. I would recommend Planet Fitness for affordable gym space or Vent Fitness for a one on one program.

Fantastic experience: Love this place I get all my workout vitamins and pre-workout drinks from here. They even have a fully functional gym that price can't be beat.

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout. Wide range of equipment and weights. Older stuff but works great. Good atmosphere and diverse crowd.

Fantastic experience: The best gym I’ve been to in terms of intensity and energy about putting in work. Very very welcoming staff as well

Fantastic experience: Great place! I definitely recommend anyone that wants to workout to go here!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym & awesome owner!!

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for an old skool gym, and a bodybuilding scene… This is your gym!!!

Fantastic experience: Professional, knowledgeable about alllll the supplements. Owner is killing it with awesome updates. A good raw gym to train at!

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've ever been too. Great ownership, solid crowd, good equipment. It even has a great playlist going all the time.

Fantastic experience: Great old skool regular gym

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Albany

Fantastic experience: Decent store with a nice amount of supplements for your daily training performance increase.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality I graduated college and moved back home this past spring and miss this gym so much. Best gym Ive been apart of, unbelievable atmosphere. Great prices and friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Great gym for strength training, the environment is one of hard work and focus. They have a decent selection of cardio machines as well, and some neat classes (muy Thai being my favorite).

Fantastic experience: This is the place to be. Yes, there are peak times and the people are getting it in and then you have quiet times when you can go and get right with little to no activity present. Great place to learn from watching and applying. They also have 5$ day passes so you can try it out.

Fantastic experience: A sweet clean environment to get a nice workout in before the morning rush. plenty of room and your not on top of eachother like some other gyms. And the supplement shop is a huge added benefit to have onsite.

Fantastic experience: No glamor no glitz just straight up workout that's what I like and it's not a fashion show best spot I've been to and would recommend it to anybody

Fantastic experience: This is a Mans Gym not for the Faint of Heart. Heavy Metal Music (No Filters.) 200lb Dumbbells. 8" Weighted Neck Chains. Big, Heavy, Weighted Wooden Log. This Gym has the feel of a Maximum Security Prison Weight Pit. No Sissies! You will not need to walk on eggshells here. You aren't going to offend anyone. This place, these people from My experience conduct themselves like Professionals. BEST GYM AROUND!

Fantastic experience: Lots of benches and free weights to go around, plenty of machines, a bunch of treadmills. Upstairs there is a kickboxing and MMA gym called Sukhti Muay Thai where private and group classes are offered separately. No elaborate price schemes last time I checked. No pressure to sign contracts. But the 1 year deal was a much better value than anything else I saw in town. The 1 day passes for the weight room were $5 last time I checked. You can't beat that.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at this gym off and on for the better part of 6 years. The people are friendly, the staff is attentive. Other gyms boast the 'no judgement' gimmick, but it actually exists here. No one cares how much anyone else can lift. We all know why we're all there. Need a spot? Just ask. Need some help with your technique or form? Again, the crowd this gym draws in is truly second to none. If I didn't have to go to work, I think I'd never leave.

Fantastic experience: Love!! Love!! Love!! The owner is great, and staff. This gym saved my life when COVID existed. It was open and people kept their distance to protect and respect our dedication to working out. Never got the virus....

Fantastic experience: Great place to improve on what you've already worked so hard, as well as a group of amazing regulars you can learn from. Needs new equipment tho

Fantastic experience: Great gym!

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Fantastic experience: The best.

Negative experience: Need to update the the whole gym

Fantastic experience: Easily best gym in 518

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym in the area

Fantastic experience: Great local gym

Fantastic experience: Albany Strength has as many weights as you'll ever need and a positive atmosphere. There are plenty of personal trainers at the ready, although you don't need one to have a good session. With the low rates you won't break the bank by visiting frequently, and they also offer monthly and yearly plans if you expect to be a frequent visitor. There is a supplement store in the front where you can purchase every legal substance you could need for working out. The staff is knowledgeable and happy to help with anything.

Fantastic experience: The best thank you and God bless

Fantastic experience: Umm I dont remember visiting this website but I miagine it was very good

Fantastic experience: This gym is top notch, not sure what Shawn T the bicep curling champion below me is talking about. Pretty sure that guys lifts with cute little gloves on anyway so not sure what "Ash" hes talking about. Gym is exactly what you need, they have everything you would want from a serious gym. They personally have a cleaning lady come every week to deep clean the gym while it was open before Covid shut them down. If you want planet fitness go to planet fitness, if you want an all around great gym this is the spot for you!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Albany, that is if you want a no-nonsense workout in a conducive environment! People are friendly!

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym membership ive ever had

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a no frills locally owned strength, rehab and body building gym this is the place. Most of the staff possess a level of knowledge in the field that surpasses other local establishments. If you are looking for a heavy cardio based gym you will not find that here. If you are looking for a community of lifters with a vast knowledge base in different types of lifting you will love it. That being said it is a very small space comparatively. If you prefer going to a place where you don't have to be in close quarters with others, This gym is not the fit for you. The onsite supplement store is also unbelievably convenient and suprisingly competitive. If your expectations are that this gym will be like a fitness center you will be very disappointed. If you are focused on powerlifting, strength and body building you will find this is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: Best gym hands down, and the coolest staff. Good music too

Fantastic experience: I used to go here for years when I did undergrad and medical school. Now I go when I visit from time to time. Not having this place at my fingertips is truly a huge loss. There are so few true powerlifting and body building gyms left. This place is a gem.

Positive experience: Hardcore lifters Haven.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym

Fantastic experience: Legit gym

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience,with amazing results!

Fantastic experience: Nice really gd vibes

Fantastic experience: Old school for serious lifters

Fantastic experience: Great prices, staff and equipment.

Fantastic experience: Exactly what it should be at a great price.

Positive experience: Good place to work out Seems like everybody does their own thing

Fantastic experience: The only gym you should ever go to

Positive experience: This is a lifters gym! It's small, but the atmosphere motivates you to push hard. Not a single person was on their phone, everyone was in lifting mode.

Positive experience: My hands were black after touching the free weights here from dirt or ash or whatever the hell it was. Not happy about that at all. Weights should be clean ALWAYS. Benches by free weights are way too close together. Maybe move some? Good heavy weights. Not really a strong gym from what I seen the few times I been here. Staff dont bother you. A few benches and racks. Seems really crowded and small with the equipment there even if its not alot of people. Vitamin and supplement shop is a good thing added on. Overall much better then Planet Fitness. Better then Vent because you can actually heavy deadlift. Still not even close to as good as ABC.

Fantastic experience: Love the people here, great place to get focused & do your best. Also only $5 to get in a day! Way cheaper than other gyms in the area for a day pass.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. If you’re looking for a place to train strength, this is by far the best place I’ve seen in the capital district. They also have an excellent supply of supplements and great prices (as cheap as planet fitness if you buy 1 year). That being said, this is more of a garage style gym, with a ton of strength equipment and weights but not a ton of cardio (elliptical, treadmills). Everyone here is serious about their training, so there are a lot of meatheads. Very nice, polite meatheads, who are very knowledgeable and have always been enthusiastic and helpful if I had any questions, but still meatheads. It can be intimidating to be around people who are deadlifting 600 lbs; but if you want to be one of them, this is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, no-frills weightlifting gym. I was visiting from out of town and they offered a reasonable price for a day pass. Lots of good equipment.

Fantastic experience: This place is best

Fantastic experience: One of the best gym to work out at!

Positive experience: Owners are very friendly, the gym is a little outdated. Overall Albany Strength is a great place to workout.

Fantastic experience: Great old-school gym for serious athletes, at a reasonable price!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in albany its old school with real weights and great staff.

Fantastic experience: Hardcore, no nonsense gym. Great find and price for a guy traveling on business and needing a good workout.

Fantastic experience: This is my late night spot.. 5$ day pass is good for me.. I do my cardio in a quiet environment.. The weight room is a grand buffet of exercise equipment of steel.. #ScottHires

Fantastic experience: I wish there was a gym this legit where I'm from. $5 day pass and 8 squat racks?! A powerlifter's dream. The staff is also incredibly nice and helpful.

Negative experience: Not very welcoming and slightly intimidating.

Positive experience: Alot of muscle heads lol

Fantastic experience: The Best Gym in The Capital District by far!!!

Fantastic experience: Great hours, people in there are there to work and help if you have any questions..

Positive experience: If you like training hard, this is a great place. The exact opposite of planet b$*chness.... I mean fitness.

Positive experience: No frills gym. You come to get your pump on, not socialize. Perfect for any type of athlete. The equipment has a story to tell.
