Fantastic experience: Southside is the preeminent strength facility in Anchorage. I have trained there and its predecessor gyms since 2007. Southside has the most square footage and the most equipment to become a champion. As of this writing they count among their members the state heavyweight bodybuilding champion and the powerlifter with the heaviest raw total in Alaska history. They also have Olympic lifting platforms, cardio machines, strongman implements, as well as plate-loaded and selectorized exercise machines. This would be an outstanding facility anywhere in the country, and Anchorage is firtunate to have Southside.
We truly appreciate it Rob and all the support to facilitate powerlifting meets with you and the USPA!
Fantastic experience: My partner and I are visiting Anchorage and this gym made our morning! After a not so pleasant greeting and being turned away at another gym we headed to Southside and felt welcomed the minute we walked in. The gym felt relaxed, easy going and friendly and Josh was so nice. The gym had everything we need without any snobby or obnoxious vibes and we also got some great tourist tips of where to go. Highly recommend to head here whether you are a local or visiting and need a place to get your sweat on!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review, it means the world to us. So stoked to hear you had a great time and thanks for stopping in!
