This is the perfect gym for all levels of experience. Most gyms have a standard crowd, hosting a wide range of people - from moms trying to get back into shape after going through 9+ months of making a human to experienced weightlifters going through their routine theyve had since their divorce. This gym is no different, except it adds powerlifters and strongmen to the usual gym crowd. They have a couple of treadmills and ellipticals, but the name of the game at Jakked is iron. Who needs cardio anyway when your heart is pounding along with the rock/metal music blasting on the speakers? The times I have gone the gym it has not crowded at all. Ive seen a max of 5-7 people working out in the entire gym at one time, but then again I plan my visits strategically. I often am the only one working out in a room. Everyone seems friendly. Nobody seems to be working out "mad," but instead enjoying themselves like theyre supposed to. During warm weather the "windows" (garage doors) are open and you can enjoy the breeze in the screened-in gym. Very easy to achieve that balance of being relaxed yet focused. They offer a month-by-month plan including a student discount, and also a discount if you pay for four months in advance or a year in advance. I signed up for four months, paying $150, which averages out to $37.50/month. (Thats the "everyone" discount, not just for students.) If you introduce yourself as new, you can expect a thorough tour of the gym and its features. One final note is that they have more equipment than Ive ever seen in my life. I dont know how half of the equipment works! You turn a corner and are almost guaranteed to find some big-ass chain or sledgehammer hiding away. Again, everyone is friendly and you can ask freely how the equipment works and expect to get a helpful answer. Jakked is a community of serious gym-goers. Dont expect to go and not get results. If you can muster up the courage to get over the "intimidation factor," youll be happy you tried it out.

After reading the last review I feel the need to put my two cents in to debunk this "gym rat" below me. First off, I have had a lot of gym memberships in the past and have given up for one reason or another. Until I met Mike Roop, my new trainer, and the owners (Tami and Byron Hicks) at Jakked HARDCORE Gym. In the business for 10 YEARS, the amount of genuine willingness to help and drive each and every member to succeed and see the results they want is consistently above and beyond. The space, the environmnet, and the seemingly endless amount of equipment is ALWAYS CLEAN, ORGANIZED, and SAFE. For these reasons I have listed is what makes this gym one of the top 4 gyms in the country!

First impression of this "hardcore gym" is its dirty and disgusting. It smells like dog urine. They have an "agility turf room" which you can see urine stains on the turf. Call me crazy but I dont want to work out in dog urine! On a regular basis there are dogs in the gym running around. I dont hate dogs but they should not be in the gym where people can get hurt because of them running past you mid set. So if you like working out at a dog kennel then you will love this place. But if you want a gym with good equipment then dont waste your time or money at this "hardcore gym"

Jakked is a great no-nonsense, all workout gym. I dont have to wait behind college kids or bored middle aged people watching the football game or music videos while doing one rep per minute. The people here are friendly and are there to workout. The environment is very supportive. There is a good mix of people here, not just body builders or powerlifters. This is a gym where you can come in and get your work done, and leave with no hassles. The front office people are also very knowledgeable about nutrition and supplementation as well. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I first walked through the doors of Jakked about 8 yrs ago and have been treated as family ever since. Owners Byron and Tami Hicks have built a gym that has become my home away from home. Over the years Jakked had been a place where I can come and be welcomed by everyone and encouraged to push myself physically and mentally to be the best athlete I can be. I have made many lasting friendships here and truly feel a part of a family of people with a common purpose. To see each other win! This is the place to be if you are serious about making improvements.

From the moment you park, the energy from this gym is amazing! Never too crowded, but instead a great community of hard working individuals focused on their goals. The owners are super friendly and their lovable pit bulls add an extra cool touch to the gym! The weights, machines and equipment are meant for real hardcore training!!! But at the same time any newcomer that wants to join is always welcome. Im going to miss this gym so much as my girl and I are moving our West... Best gym in the Midwest!

I dont normally jump in but Gym Rats Anonymous review needs a response. If you are going to knock a business, at least put your name out there. If you cant do that keep your opinion to yourself. Jakked does not smell of dog urine and there are not pee stains in the Strongman area. This gym is about success, hard work and safety. If that doesnt fit your style then youre correct, its not the gym for you.

This is strictly a business gym. Dont expect Olivia Newton John music nor the latest trendy workout fashions. The owners, Byron and Tami Hicks, want you to reach the goals you have set for yourself. All of the patrons are there to improve their lives through physical conditioning. The trainers are top notch. I have lost 35 pounds. Would never have done it without Jakked Hardcore Gym.

Jakked is a hardcore strength training gym. Its family run by two people who have a great story in lifting. Its the kind of place where every member supports one another and its just fine to grunt or make crazy faces when you lift. This isnt at all like a corporate gym. Personally, its my kind of gym because of the camaraderie and the belief that everyone can and should lift heavy.

Jakked is the best gym Ive been to. I love the warehouse style feel and the overall atmosphere. I never feel uncomfortable at Jakked, like I have at other "big box" gyms. The Jakked trainers are knowledgeable and truly help you reach your fitness goals (shout out to Kati who is FABULOUS)! The staff and owners are welcoming and I always enjoy supporting a family owned business.

Im a strongman and just started competing this year. Their gym is amazing has everything for every level of lifter and type of lifter. Ive recently started training with Byron the owner and Ive never seen such great improvement and strength in myself. He is a great lifter and trainer. This gym and their training program is the best money Ive spent in a long time
