Great old school vibe gym (steel weights, not plastic-coated ones!) and they are getting harder and harder to find, a nice contrast to the sterile, controlled atmosphere of all the other corporate gyms -Retro, Planet, etc,etc, theyre all the same. And yeah, Powerhouse is a chain too but this particular location actually has personality and serious lifting/fitness fanatics. As one person wrote below the place is "old and dirty"...well, yeah, it is a little rustic but I personally prefer the serious fitness vibe these places radiate as opposed to the dainty, trendy, TV-everywhere-I-look, cant-take-a-simple-look-around-without-a-manager-escort controlled atmosphere where my conversation with the desk staff upon my entrance feels completely contrived and scripted on their end. Mike (a guy with a lot of heart and fire) is usually behind the desk when I work out and talks to you like youre a human being. I barely knew him when my birthday came around, when I did my morning workout he was the first person to wish me a happy birthday-what an impression that made on me! As far as the gym being dirty, thats crazy talk; in fact, Im always kind of annoyed because when I am there the cleaning people are incessantly cleaning the place, running the vacuums and being annoying, but thats my problem,lol. Theyve actually got what it appears to be 2 people there specifically to clean the gym and they do not work behind the desk and they are there EVERY DAY. I suppose you can call the place old but you definitely cant call it dirty thats for sure. I guess the walls might not be freshly painted but that hardly constitutes the gym actually being dirty. My only real complaint and reason I cant quite give the place 5 stars (and its kind of a big one depending on how hot the summer is) is that it is way, WAY too hot in the summer, I dont know what the problem is here but on 88 degree plus days it is miserable working out, my advice would be to work out in the mornings on those days. But I give the place 4 stars which really says something cuz Im a tough grader,lol. Ive been getting my best workouts in years and I know the atmosphere has a lot do to with it. I have gotten 2 people to sign up and am signing up another friend, my advice would be to just work out in the mornings in the summer if its going to be hot day because after a certain time it will be sweltering.

The management is a joke. The barbells are cheap and bent. The memberships are over priced. The funny thing is that powerhouse claims to fit every persons fitness goals...well thats a lie. The worst part is they have a Zumba instructor that spyes on you while you are working out. If your training heavy or hard, she will text the owner and say that you are disrespecting the gym. I think shes just jealous cause all she knows how to do is some stupid dance. The owner has no idea what she is doing. The Zumba instructor needs to mind her own business. All in all this gym is the worst.

Been a member here for a long time and I love this place. The owners and staff here are always really helpful and insightful. They have a masseuse in house and her name is Darcy (and she is really amazing), personal trainers and I have used Todd and let me tell you if you want a motivating and experienced trainer then he is your man. Overall this is a great gym, they do need to update their machines but they are always doing updates.

Best gym in the area, very friendly staff, big mike and everyone are good people. Whoever called this gym old and dirty are just being little girls, the gym shows its age, but it awalys kept clean. This gym is a place for serious lifters, and people who auctually want to workout instead of go play on fancy machines and watch flirty girl fitness. Would recommend to anyone.

This gym has everything you need to stay fit or get big and strong. If you worry about weights dropping, people grunting, or are intimidated my others. Then this gym is not for you, planet fitness is down the street . haha. This gym has been great to me and Ive never had a problem.

Reasonable rates and old school feel. Last of a dying breed. Struggled for a long time trying to get away from the fitness clubs of the times. Its nice to see that there are still some places that have actual metal plates and dumbbells... and you can make a little noise too.
