Old school gym with relaxed, ex-bodybuilder owners. Client base skews young and male, but it’s a respectful environment for all types of people and all fitness levels. The equipment is older but well-maintained and carefully curated. The gym is also very clean; I’ve never experienced a hygiene issue. I’d say that if you know what you’re doing, are self-motivated, and live nearby, it’d be hard to do better than this gym, especially in the area.

The gym has an old-school vibe with plenty of equipment, but the place felt cramped, and I had to wait around 20 minutes just to get on a squat rack. Some of the machines seemed outdated, and a few were out of order, which was frustrating. The staff was friendly enough, but not particularly attentive or helpful. For the price, I expected a better-maintained facility and more available equipment. Might be okay for some, but I don't think I'll be returning.​
