The Muscle Shack

Fantastic experience: I personally lost over 70 lbs while training with Greg/Nathan the owners of the Muscle Shack. If you are looking for a new challenge or looking to lose bodyfat + improve your overall health this gym is a great place to be!

Fantastic experience: Walla Wallas Hardcore gym, wouldn't train anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Used this gym for a week while visiting family in Walla Walla and loved it. It has absolutely everything you need for powerlifting. Friendly staff too!

Fantastic experience: Very nice welcoming people Great gym

Fantastic experience: After I left Walla Walla, I missed this place more than anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: This gym here is a great place to workout percent great owner and workers there friendly as can be very clean gym as well

Fantastic experience: Great experience! Although it's a small gym you really get to know the people that you're working out with and it gives you a family type experience!

Fantastic experience: Best place to work out great atmosphere not crowded friendly people.

Fantastic experience: If you are serious about working out, health and fitness then The Muscle Shack is a good home. Greg is my trainer and I could not have asked for better. "There is no tomorrow".

Fantastic experience: From the minute you step foot inside The Muscle Shack, the environment is welcoming and challenging all at once. This is a good thing, of course. Trainers Greg and Nathan are the two nicest guys in town, but they will push you toward your fitness goals relentlessly, until you learn to push yourself with under the same set of objectives and expectations. Nathan has helped me to see my own potential as a beginning weightlifter, and has been my trainer for the past five months, but also a mentor and companion through my transition from lifting light at the YMCA to lifting heavy at The Muscle Shack - a transition that can be sometimes be daunting for women, as we develop strength, follow a program, avoid injury, and adopt a good nutrition plan. I am obsessed with this gym, it is my happy place, and I cannot recommend it enough, or encourage you strongly enough (pun intended), to seek it out and seek out Nathan and Greg's services. It is a unique gem in the landscape of this Valley's fitness offerings, and worth every penny for the membership and/or training sessions. If you want to take your physical performance to the next level, or are curious to embark on the next steps of learning about what your body can achieve, I encourage you wholeheartedly to reach out to them so that they can help you put this foundation in place. You'll laugh, you'll maybe cry (but in a good way), if you're like me you'll squeal with excitement now and then, you'll firm up, feel strong, get stronger, and you'll learn to grind through. And that's one of the best life skills anyone could hope to acquire.

Fantastic experience: You get what you pay for, if you want to lift heavy and be loud, this is the gym for you. If you want to slap on some plates and get a huge pump, this is the gym for you. It is a great community here and everyone is super nice.

Fantastic experience: This gym is great! I met both of the guys who work here and they were very helpful! The gym has some older equipment bit everything works as it used and I wouldn't trust a gym that looks like no one uses the equipment. The other folks here seem very down to earth and there to get their work done. Everybody is very nice. Unisex bath is spacious and clean. Tons of motivational stuff on the walls and there are some interactive challenges posted too. I would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: This gym is for women and men who want to dedicate themselves to getting strong and fit. Strength training is an overt priority here. If you're the type to drive 20 minutes just to use the treadmill for 30, this gym is honestly not for you. Three women had their personal training session while I was there, so this is not a bros-only gym. With a day fee of only $10 and 24 hour access (with door code), it's very accessible.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I dropped in while in Walla Walla. Weight training focused with a good variety of equipment, great staff and owner, and a super cute dog. Very welcoming and accepting.

Fantastic experience: This is, by far, the most welcoming gym I've ever been to. The staff knows what they're doing. I'd wholly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a no nonsense gym experience.

Fantastic experience: I like the guys that own this place and appreciate their pricing. They are very responsive if you need help or have requests, etc. I have been especially pleased with the clientele who are down to earth and just there to get a good workout rather than socialize, etc. The trainers genuinely care about the folks they are working with.

Fantastic experience: i workout here regularly..its an amazing place with that old school dungeon gym feel..great people run and own it...they have personalized training..great equipment..its a great place

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Nothing about it feels remotely similar to planet fitness.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. It's a great place to get strong old schools feels. Nate and Greg are great guys. The 24 hour access, no joining fees, and low rates make it even better. This gym has has sate and national male and female power lifters. Get fit and get strong here. Uplift and lift heavy.

Fantastic experience: Showed up, unannounced on a Saturday afternoon. Kari was super kind and helpful, Labor Day weekend so no one else was there and she showed me where to plug in my Tunes to the speaker system and I rocked it out for an hour. This place is awesome.

Positive experience: You get what you pay for. Need to fix some equipment.

Fantastic experience: Great environment, very encouraging, old school weight set up that is enjoyable. Kind hard working trainers, diverse workout group, all ages, and it's affordable!

Fantastic experience: We're from out of town and our local gym is a 24 hour center with quite a bit of equipment. We wish the Muscle Shack was closer! The records and challenges on the walls are the perfect motivation. The atmosphere is no frills and let's push each other to improvement. The only equipment we missed was a lower cable pull, but resistance bands did the trick. For a couple who work out together, this was a highlight of an anniversary vacation!

Fantastic experience: I like to make my husband happy and if lifting is what he likes that is fine with me. Thanks for being there Muscle Shack!

Fantastic experience: Everything about this gym is amazing! I have tried other gyms but there is something about The Muscle Shack that makes improving my body easier. From how awesome Nathan and Greg are as well as the other trainers, to the clean equipment. Everyone that comes to either get trained or workout on their own are super friendly and polite. Even when the gym gets packed, all lifters work together to get their workout through without hogging equipment or getting in the way of someone else's workout. I definitely recommend everyone to get their training done here!
