One of the best gyms Ive attended. You immediately feel that this is a place to get strong and get all kimds of gainz when you walk in. B&W wont be confused with a Planet Fitness by any means. DBs go up to 120, several types of bars specifically for Oly lifts, deadlifts, etc. There are trap bars, SSB, cambered bars and access to chains and bands. There are 3 platforms for Oly lifts and/or deads. In a separate area there are at least another 3 platforms specifically for deadlifts. If you dont have a power lifting belt, there are community belts to use. Chalk is allowed and dropping heavy weights isnt frowned upon. If you are a powerlifter, Oly lifter, body builder or strongman (access to logs, a yoke, various stones, farmers handles, axles, and a circus DB)...this is the gym for you hands down. Even for the cardio bunnies out there, this gym works for you with access to a few treadmills, rower and stationary bikes.

Dealing with the kid that works there would kick you out for not having a guess pass. (Guest pass dilemma)(1 month prior .(first month).never received and poor info on received passes supposedly issued per month)(received mail 8 days ago of this months guess pass) End of it, I have a month left and not having a guess pass for one session leads to being thrown out by a kid that i saw near everyday consistently at the times I went .. the sight was pathetic .. result near expected .. Poor handling. This gym is full of Olympic lifters and powerlifters , no a/c and one overdeveloped kid

Ive been lifting here with a trainer for about two years now. Ive put on about 20 lbs of muscle and have done well in USAPL competitions. This gym is legit. Its NOT Planet Fitness. It has all the equipment you need to train seriously, some you dont and some youve never even heard of but the most important thing is the community. The people at B&W are really friendly and accepting of everyone and are always ready to give you a spot if you need it. Its the best basement Ive ever hung out in!

Good gym ,great environment to train in plenty of good equipment and tons of free weights . Only draw back is cardio equipment . Staff is great and members are all great everyone that trains there is helpful good people . This gym is over all the best.

One of the best gyms I have ever been to. You can smell the grit in the air. This is a powerlifter/bodybuilders haven .All the equipment you will need and more. Definitely old fashioned however I think it adds to the authenticity

Ive been going to this awesome gym for a while now, on and off. Its got such a great old-school, rugged vibe! This is definitely the place to go to if youre serious about your training!

Dont expect a fancy, super spacious gym. It has everything you need to train though from.beginmers to heavy lifters. And the prices are ridiculously cheap.

Not for everyone, but if you are a real lifter, come on over. The only shiny stuff here is sweat.

Dan Fox

Its cheap and it has everything you need to get strong and in shape.

Tons of plates. Plenty of machines. A bit warm in the summer.
