The J Street Gym

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of J Street Gym since I moved to Bentonville 3 1/2 yrs ago. They have some of the best equipment there is both new and some unique olds school setups that you can’t find elsewhere. All the equipment is well maintained and in good working order. There are multiple setups of the same machines or bench/incline benches. 3 full dumbbell sets up to 150lbs which is amazing. Tons of options for cardio, group fitness room, and multiple bathrooms. If you are looking for a place to train look no further this place has it all for any level of fitness and everyone is welcome.

Negative experience: This place is absolutely disgusting. Hard to find disinfectant spray anywhere, machines look like they have never been cleaned. Found someone’s molded retainer on one of the treadmills after watching shirtless guy after shirtless guy use the same machine and never wipe it down. Unless you are into feeling someone else’s sweat all over you, I’d recommend working out somewhere else.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Every piece of equipment other gyms lack. The clients are friendly and serious. A real gym. Dogs are in there working out too. Or watching, mostly. Staff is friendly and helpful. Look forward to returning on my next stint in Bentonville.

Fantastic experience: Noticed a lot of bad reviews on this place and was a bit skeptical but after visiting a few times, it really is just a gym meant for the old school / no bs approach to gains and hard work. There are people out here who would let their own sweat stop them from putting in any actual effort. You can tell there is some drama attached to some of these reviews because they trash talk the gym and then admit to still coming without paying. (Which is insane for someone to just openly admit a crime on a review). To sum it up, if you hate gains and can't stand seeing people actually progress, planet fitness is probably your better bet. Of any of yall see me in the gym, feel free to join me.

Fantastic experience: Staff is extremely helpful and welcoming! I was in town visiting my mom, and stopped by for a workout. The guy at the front desk was very helpful and kind. Love seeing all of the strong man equipment in the facility, and almost every piece of equipment for body builders and passionate lifters! Awesome to see they have childcare, even though not needed, good to see. Love seeing dogs in the gym and people working hard instead of standing around on their phone or starting at themselves in the mirror. Only thing I would add is a mobility area. Other than that, I think every detail was covered!

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym I've ever trained at. Awesome equipment, friendly staff, and amazing atmosphere with generally good music playing and serious lifters training.

Fantastic experience: Good place to work out.

Negative experience: I love that there’s plenty of room and free weights. There’s been countless times when equipment will be out of order and not have a sign to signify it. It’s consistently dirty. The guests don’t follow the gym policy of putting designated weights where they go or cleaning up after themselves but I’m not sure if that’s a communication issue or if the gym needs to hold people accountable.

Fantastic experience: I am a former gym owner in Denver, Colorado. This gym is legit. They have good equipment, and it’s the right amount of clean, with the right amount of grit. This is a no joke results driven gym with a staff to match.

Fantastic experience: With that name probably the best in town.

Fantastic experience: Best gym, great community of athletes

Positive experience: Great gym. I have to take off a star because of the members who think that they personally own the deadlift area. I’ve been here at all kinds of random times and there’s always people hanging out in the deadlift area just giving dead eyed stares if anyone comes near them. And no they aren’t actively working out 90% of the time. They just cover all the deadlift area with their stuff so no one will come near them. Do better people.

Positive experience: My husband and I stopped by here and purchased a day pass. The people were extremely nice at the front desk. The members were great, too. It had everything we needed to complete our workout. But, honestly, I wouldn't buy a membership here. The equipment in the back was a bit grungy. I couldn't find pins for some equipment and had to borrow from others. It felt a bit dirty and I couldn't find wipes to clean off equipment when I was done. But they do have a ton of equipment there. If you like blaring music and you're serious about bodybuilding, you may enjoy it. It's worth taking a look, but just wasn't for me.

Positive experience: really needs a revamp. leaks from the ceiling, broken equipment and cables, cracks all over the building, and everything is so dusty and dirty. it’s kind of gross. there is a lot of equipment and it’s a large space but it is simply not in the shape it should be considering the price. sauna is always broken too. music is obnoxiously loud sometimes even with noise cancelling headphones it’s kind of wild. you do not get what you pay for. please clean and focus on the repairs and updates that are needed to ensure your members are getting their moneys worth. also a bit annoying that children and dogs are allowed to run around. i moved here from out of state and am locked into a one year membership now, not knowing this would be the situation.

Fantastic experience: Brian was great

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Plenty of equipment. Well equipped for powerlifting.

Negative experience: The owner is a jerk. I signed up for one year moved away and he still charged me a year after and wouldn’t refund me and it took multiple attempts to cancel the membership. Kids running around pulling on my hair while I work out. The men that go there are complete Creeps…. One still stalks me to this day… he created multiple accounts on social media the last 3 years and sends videos to me of him pleasuring himself … RUN from this creep cesspool

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with serious workout energy

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience here. Bought a day pass while visiting from out of town. The space is huge, and they have every machine you can imagine

Fantastic experience: Never been inside, but I've heard good things about it and it made for a cool picture on the outside!

Negative experience: Nobody is looking for some “country club” experience lol, but this gym is a literal pos for what you charge. Won’t be paying the random 90 some bucks when it’s supposed to $68 a month, I’ll just go with a friend who has been letting me in. It’s not a hardcore anything and several machines are constantly broken. With as much as you charge, you should be able to afford to replace parts of machines that you claim to have as functioning. You should also be able to afford to pay for someone to oversee childcare instead of just a family friend. I was told if “we could find anyone to work those hours for children, we would hire someone” then I told multiple people who inquired about that and weren’t hired even though they had ample childcare experience. So you’re evidently not looking to hire for that role. Just don’t lie to your customers then. Pretty simple lol. The holes in the flooring throughout, the bathroom having rusted stalls, damage, etc. I do handyman work and renovations on homes, so I get dirty daily, but to have a trashed pos gym like you guys do and pretend it means you’re “hardcore” is a joke lol. It’s not even remotely a hardcore gym, and I’ve been in plenty of actual hardcore gyms. Stop with the false advertising of being hardcore. You’ve not made good use of your space by any means and you don’t have working equipment and you guys should stop lying about your equipment supposedly working when half of it doesn’t. Such a waste of space having broken equipment on the floor, doing nothing about it. Ya need to do better. It’s embarrassing at this point and I’ve talked with several people who used to go there and now don’t or due to the same issues. I now tell people in groups I’m in to avoid this gym at all costs. Luckily they listen because I’ve got the pictures as proof. Have a good day and hopefully you’ll work towards doing better.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved! Great gym

Fantastic experience: I enjoy the gym amazing gym family, great customer service Thank You Bryan…

Fantastic experience: this is a proper gym, the fullest most well stocked gym in the area, priced accordingly. This place also smells like a gym, dont expect a spa. Brians run this gym pretty freaking well

Positive experience: Lots of equipment, a bit organized, but a great place to workout!

Fantastic experience: We were visiting our daughter. My husband got to work out with her and loves the gym and the variety of equipment .

Fantastic experience: Perfect knuckle dragger gym. Traveling and bought a 1 week pass for $30. Great deal. Just check in with your cell also awesome, I don’t want to fill out stuff at 5am. No matter what you are into, as long as you are into working out, this place has it. It is the kind of place that I would want to open with a bunch of buddies. Not a country club feel, so that is nice. I wish they had a place like this back home. Not all the weights are glossy, and the kettlebells are dinged up. This place is broken in. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed.

Negative experience: $50 a month for holes in the floor? I walked in the door and literally got chunks of rubber in my shoes from the destroyed rubber mats. No good place to do anything core, nowhere good to stretch without getting covered in dirt. They only have one or two adjustable benches that are constantly cluttered with groups of highschool kids taking selfies in the mirror and the pads on their equipment are ripped to shreds. Everybody talks about how fantastic this gym is but my experience was anything but.

Fantastic experience: The best gym in Bentonville. Great equipment. Great atmosphere and plenty of heavy weights.

Negative experience: Owner only cares about money. He is not willing to work with you for any circumstances. If you try to break contract without paying his exorbitant cancelation fee, he said he would send the rest to collections. Fees are higher than a bank.

Fantastic experience: Great gym if you go to the gym to work hard-core old school gym

Fantastic experience: Great variety of equipment. Motivating yet friendly environment. If you ever need help with an exercise or some of their equipment, there are great people that can help. Tons of space to move around and not be side by side with someone else, even when busy. Definitely recommend for beginners or serious lifters.

Fantastic experience: Great 24/7 gym. Once you go there for some time, you get familiar with everyone

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing gym. If you're looking for motivation and results, this place is it! They have some of the best equipment and the atmosphere is great! If you're looking for a great gym, definitely check this place out.

Fantastic experience: Great local nwa gym. They have ample room to work out even when it’s busy! My favs are the 3 deadlift stations, multiple squat racks and plenty of machines and free weights to get all of it in. They also have a yoke, farmers walks and a sled so extra kudos for having that equipment. Overall my experience was great and the staff was really helpful getting our passes set up for the week.

Fantastic experience: If you take training seriously and want to feel motivated to get better every time you come in, this is the place. I Love the intensity and equipment available at all hours of the day. Plus, anything beats listening to 70’s disco rock at planet fitness.

Fantastic experience: If you want to workout with a bunch of sweaty meatheads this is your gym. I feel the spirit of Ronnie Coleman screaming "light weight baby" every morning at 5 am

Fantastic experience: Top notch bodybuilding gym. Better than it’s sister across town, but only a little.

Fantastic experience: Real Weight lifting, strength training and Bodybuilding Gym. Great atmosphere for the true Gym Rat.

Positive experience: Pros High quality gym equipment Variety of gym equipment Lots of weight Expanding space Reasonably price Cons Some of the things that globo-gyms do well in which they are extremely lacking. They have had both urinals unavailable in the men’s room for at least a month, leaving two stalls. ONE water fountain in the entire gym that can be taken up frequently by people filling bottles - this is also now out of order so no way to drink water unless bring your own. I dunno, maybe install multiple water fountains, especially those that can fill bottles? Also a “tailgating” policy that while in concept makes sense, in practice is pretty impractical such that everyone entering within 20 feet of each other have to ask whether they are a member (can easily lie) and then they “review” the incident to see if you get charged - unless that person has a membership, which is determined by looking at person? Edit: the urinal and water fountain issue has been resolved

Fantastic experience: Armwrestling gym among other things

Fantastic experience: An amazing gym with a huge variety of equipment! The staff is helpful and courteous.

Fantastic experience: Used the J Street Gym for my fighter weight cut! AMAZING!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym!!

Fantastic experience: Great

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms in all of NWA. Brian is one of the owners, and a super nice helpful person. The atmosphere will give you that extra push you’ll need!

Fantastic experience: Great place to focus on real workouts

Negative experience: Not gonna lie, j street is pretty trash and half of the machines / cardio don’t work, the water fountain looks like it’s from the 1800’s and leaks 24/7, everything is old etc. buttt thankfully can get into elm street through the same app so that’s the only positive that came from getting a membership bc elm street is the best no doubt

Fantastic experience: This is hands down the best place to workout. Tons of equipment, awesome hours 24/7, and great management. This place is for Everyone. We all make each other better.

Fantastic experience: I love this place. Great atmosphere, and always getting new equipment. It's a gym, not a fitness center, so keep that in mind

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms I've been to. I travel for work, I train in "away" gyms very often and its really rare to find a gym like this anymore unless you live there and "you know". This is old school cool. Straight out of Pumping Iron. No BS, no spin classes, no cardio theatre, its gym for lifting weights. Could not be more awesome. I met one of the owners who was also training at the time, asked to work in on a set or two, genuinely nice guy. File this one under the real deal.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, event and great people.

Fantastic experience: Good vibes. Music can be loud at times

Fantastic experience: Hands down, the best gym in NWA. The equipment, the vibe, the energy, the members, the owners, the manager (Luker) ...there is nothing even remotely close. Two thumbs up !!!

Positive experience: Decent gym equipment, mostly kind staff, but get a better way to get in the door.

Fantastic experience: Great facility to work at. Nitty gritty, down to earth, and they have every machine/workout device you can think of. I could picture Arnold working out here.

Positive experience: Much potential, has all the equipment for a fitness lifestyle, A little bit of outside drama that could be better handle or properly look into. over all a good hardcore gym.

Positive experience: Much potential, has all the equipment for a fitness lifestyle, A little bit of outside drama that could be better handle or properly look into. over all a good hardcore gym.

Positive experience: Tons of equipment. Gym just struggles to stay sanitary. ESPECIALLY the locker room. Members tend to break equipment occasionally as well Great raw tough training environment though. Enjoyed my time while it lasted

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great price! A little grungy, but great place to get swole!

Fantastic experience: Great gym for athletes of many types, simple prices, amazing equipment. Note that J street doesn't have heavy bags for boxing. They have turf for sleds, as well as atlas stones and other strong-man type equipment as well.

Fantastic experience: i love this gym. it’s very old school and “meathead like.” the people here don’t mess around. i would definitely not recommend if you’re a beginner/ intimidated easily. however i have met supportive group of lifters here that motivate and help me out every day. the atmosphere is also very motivating itself great for people who take their stuff seriously. i also love how they give a student discount.

Fantastic experience: This place is my sanctuary. Have not been able to say that about a gym since World's Gym in Springdale closed down years ago. It is a no bs gym with plenty of equipment, especially if you are into strongman/powerlifting activities. Decent sauna as well. Friendly staff and people.

Fantastic experience: Awesome power lifting gym!!

Fantastic experience: If you go early you'll love it.

Fantastic experience: Great amenities. Friendly staff. There is a variety of equipment to use for any level of training.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Very nice selection of machines and plenty of benches with free weights galore. Very respectful patrons, which says a lot about a gym imo. Would recommend to anyone, just starting out or a five time Mr. Olympia.

Fantastic experience: I see you Jstreet!!!! Everyday!!

Fantastic experience: Great spot. I believe I found this place as I was driving by it. I needed someplace to hold me over for the few months I was going to be here for work, close to my hotel. Those few months have turned into almost a year and I couldn’t be happier I made the decision to get a membership. Not too expensive and has all the equipment you need, including a sauna and some showers. Not a big chain like Lifetime or LA fitness, so has some minor drawbacks in that regard, but if you’re looking to just workout, this is a great place to do it. People don’t mess around when they come in here.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym for any athletes or lifter !

Fantastic experience: If you want a gym that has almost every piece of weight lifting equipment and a strong work out environment then this is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great price! A little grungy, but great place to get swole!

Negative experience: My roomate is a regular at this gym and even pays for a personal trainer (who is apparently great) but tonight the woman who was at the desk around 6 literally laughed at his appearance. This puts a very bad image on the gym. If this happens regularly I can guarantee she's caused more than just one person to turn and leave. he usually enjoys his experience, but this is absolutely unacceptable.

Positive experience: Great place to get a good pump in and meet some trainers, other than girls behind the desk (whom I'm assuming work there) making fun of people as they walk in, not a bad spot.

Fantastic experience: top notch. Little crowded at times. But other than that. it's the spot to be.

Positive experience: It’s a great gym just with the bathroom was cleaned more frequent and maintained

Negative experience: The staff at this gym are rude and will kick you out for not paying when they aren’t even manning the desk for you to pay at in the first place. When I say rude these people will cuss you out of the gym. Not worth even driving here

Negative experience: Save your time and don’t give them your business.

Negative experience: It was my first time going to this gym & nobody greeted me. I didnt pay a $10 fee & somebody by the name of bryan (manager i believe) called me obese & proceeded to kick me out & told me never to go there again.

Fantastic experience: The body building mecca of Jim's is the J street gym. Hard to compare that kind of atmosphere and equipment to any other gym in NW Arkansas.

Positive experience: Great equipment and atmosphere. But god forbids a day I go in there where my music isn’t interrupted by bad reception.

Positive experience: The perfect place for a serious workout.

Positive experience: I only wish the treadmills were better

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Very nice selection of machines and plenty of benches with free weights galore. Very respectful patrons, which says a lot about a gym imo. Would recommend to anyone, just starting out or a five time Mr. Olympia.

Negative experience: First time here.... probably won't go again. Waited at the front desk for awhile to pay for a day pass.....no one showed up. After standing there looking around hoping it would be obvious I was new, I just went in and started my workout. I kept my eye up front in case someone showed up...no one ever did. No one to take my money for a day pass, no one to welcome me or show me around/explain the structure of the gym in general. People had their things kind of sprawled out everywhere. It just came off as a very "bro" gym...kind of dirty but with a pretty good playlist...so if that is what your looking for this might be the gym for you. I was overall disappointed because I'm new to the area and have heard a lot of people mention this place as a great gym, so I had high expectations.

Negative experience: Thought I’d try J street because of its location. Walked in and was utterly disappointed. It’s almost as if covid was never a thing. Everyone is walking around without masks (even employees), guests are sneezing and coughing on equipment without spray bottles in sight, there’s multiple dudes in a 6ft sauna. If you’re here for meathead gainz it’s a prime gym. But for anyone who wants a clean gym that they feel comfortable in, I would highly discourage going here.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym

Fantastic experience: This gym is THE best. #1 gym in Northwest Arkansas. Heck probably the whole state. Very welcoming environment and people. Wonderful bargain for all the wonderful options.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, tons of free-weights and machines. Most likely you'll find what you are looking for here.

Fantastic experience: Honestly best gym in town. Hands down. Go check it out.

Fantastic experience: Phenomenal Gym for anyone from serious weightlifters to just your average Joe trying to stay in shape. Tons of different equipment for a variety of workouts.

Fantastic experience: Great gym for true weightlifting

Fantastic experience: The best gym I've ever held a membership with, the staff is very accommodating and friendly. The facility has all the equipment you will need and more. Several amenities that add that extra layer of comfort for those looking for a normal gym experience but a great atmosphere for those that take passion in being healthy and making gains. Would definitely recommend them to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, great equipment, fun atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: 40/mon 24/7 clean and all the gym equipment that you need.

Fantastic experience: Best place for workout ️‍♀️ You will really improve a lot if you come to this specific gym This gym is very famous computations You will find all kind of possibilities Here people will help you

Fantastic experience: Love this gym!

Fantastic experience: Love this place!

Negative experience: Nobody was wearing a mask x me!!!!!

Fantastic experience: This is a great place to work out! Also very convenient because it's just down the street from BHS and right next to Haas Hall Academy. So students can go before or after school. The prices are very affordable too.
