Fantastic experience: An authentic old school black iron gym, one of the last of a dying breed. No frills but everything you need to lift. If it's good enough for Mariuz Pudzianowski to train at, then it's good enough for anyone.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym I've ever been to. With years of experience, Don (gym owner) offers the best advice on preventing injuries and making serious gains. The old man can still lift heavy too!!! Overall, great atmosphere for both beginners and serious competitors. Questions are always answered, challenges are always accepted.

Old school gym with real motivation this is the real deal iron and steel. Take all bad reviews and bad rep with a grain of salt. Come in and you will be pleasantly surprised and find your self totally in love with this hidden jewel.

Fantastic experience: Trained here before I left for the Marines 5 years ago. I will be coming back here soon. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: The gym is not your usual gym. It has an old school vibe with old school lifting gear and weights. It makes you push harder and be stronger. I had been going to a prior moderinized gym but have never gained the amount of strength as I have training at Handle Bars Gym II. I highly recommend it for people who are trying to compete, everyone in there will push you and help you. The gym is also surrounded by medals and trophies of recent guys and girls who have competed for body building, physique, trong man and power lifting competitions.

Fantastic experience: I actually really like this gym! They have good number of equipment. The staff is really helpful and friendly. I always feel comfortable going here. And the locker room is clean!
