Fantastic experience: I've been a member of this gym for five or more years now. I'm a member of their grappling team and I'm as loyal as they come. the owners are always available and on site there's some of the kindest people I've ever met... I give them 10 Stars if I could

Fantastic experience: I like it here. Very much a weight training gym. Some padding needs replaced here and there but a great option for getting your work done. I would recommend it.

Negative experience: This is a good gym, environment BUT the customer service desk people SUCKS! My 1st time there a young lady was super rude and serious… unfortunately with time didn’t improved and other young dudes were ok but not nice as they seem to be. I’ve seen people (even me) waiting in the front desk while the crew talk to each other (specifically young staff) until someone thinks it’s time to ask how they can help you, not very professional. The rest of the staff is great.

Negative experience: The owners use steroids (I don't make that claim lightly) they are perpetual liars and they treat people like they are beneath them. Do not go here. They truly do not deserve your money.

Joseph Shields 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: It's really good. Very nice equipment, lots of variety, lots of space. Separate room with powerlifting and strongman equipment. Overall pretty clean. Had a blast while I was there.

Connor Freese 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Used to train here when I went to school in the area, miss it everyday. Gym’s like this are hard to come by. Plenty of equipment for powerlifting, crossfit, mma, etc. Ray’s a great jiu jitsu instructor and the classes aren’t too big or too small. Awesome place and very affordable even for a college kid.

Cindy Lamont 1 year ago

Positive experience: I like the large choice of equipment to use. The place is clean and provides several areas to grab sanitizer and wipes. Trainers are very friendly and helpful! There are 2 negatives that happen very often. #1, inattentive parents who bring their young kids with them and allow kids to run wild throughout the gym area, 2nd a few entitled rude people who seem to lay claim to multiple machines as if they are at a private gym and not a busy open gym. An EMPTY machine is an Available machine. Sometimes people are aggressive when they want to do a circuit of multiple machines.

James Garber 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The outside of the building does not do the inside justice. I have done a tour of a few gyms in the area. This one takes the cake. The staff are friendly and helpful (most of them, anyways ). They take sanitization seriously, the locker room and bathroom/shower facilities are very clean. The atmosphere is comfortable. There is a variety of equipment - mostly modern. Plenty of space - not too crowded like some gyms. They have lots of different classes and affordable billing. All in all, two thumbs up. Love it here.

tom ollinger 3 years ago

Positive experience: Great equipment and owners are awesome, although bearded dude that doesn't work there told me to put away my weights on the belt squat, the one equipment that has to weight rack of its own so when you put weight on it you have to get it from another machine that someone is using

Johnny Dibert 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Started boxing with Tom Wilts best move I've made. Wanted to lose weight and get in shape. Tom is doing both. Thanks Tom.

Joe Megahan 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: My partner and I have just started going here to start working on our versions of fitness, him to lose weight and me to gain muscle. Firstly the office staff and front desk are extremely nice and helpful. Signing up is a breeze and you do not feel pressured to go into a higher membership. The facility itself is nice and large and from what I've seen so far, you always have a good chance to get on any machine without worrying about major wait times. They have indoor tennis courts which is awesome, though they are separate from the membership price but certainly worthwhile if you enjoy that activity. Outside of that they have an abundance of different classes for a variety of different fitness levels and goals. Overall we are both really enjoying our experience with them so far and look forward to going day after day.
