Asylum Gym

Fantastic experience: The best gym in Rockford without a doubt. Dumbbells go up to 160lbs and they are pure iron. All plates are steal and they even have 100lb plates. This gym allows chalk and encourage heavy lifting. They play heavy rock and metal music and even though this gym is truly a powerlifting and bodybuilding gym, they cater to everyone.The staff is very friendly and knowledgable, in addition to the members being very helpful as well. This gym is no joke and is truly hardcore.

Fantastic experience: Today was my first day at asylum I usually go to planet fitness.. walking in was a culture shock for sure. I was greeted right in the door and explained everything right there. The way the gym is setup there is no way you can’t get right. Heavier weights and more of them!! Every single member there was super cool and a few people talked to me and even offered to spot me. If you want a hardcore gym to get yourself right this is the spot!!

Fantastic experience: Really cool gym that has good machines and great music. They should put up a sign because they are not easy to see from the road.

Fantastic experience: It's like working out with your friends in your garage. Love the nostalgia! Prices are very reasonable and the staff is very approachable. Thanks for the memories!

Fantastic experience: The asylum is an excellent place for powerlifters or anyone looking to get involved in strength sports. The intense atmosphere promotes better workouts especially when metal music is being blasted during the day. However, the atmosphere isn’t quite the same in the evening. It tends to be more laid back due to the modern pop music being played. If you want to work out in a more energizing environment, daytime is the best time to go. I enjoy working out there very much so long as it is during day hours.

Fantastic experience: A true dungeon of a gym. Great place to get big.

Fantastic experience: As hard core as you can get!

Positive experience: Typical Black Iron gym. If you just want to lift heavy things this is a good place to go. No water fountain so bring your own or be ok with sink water.

Fantastic experience: Great gym for serious lifters. Friendly and welcoming staff. Only downside is it's not 24hr.
