You’re there to workout and it gets the job done, The gym might be a little small but it’s filled with high quality equipment and machines. The owner is present but he is not there to babysit you working out, he often is busy with training his clients.

Females beware. If youre looking at attending a gym and seeking a professional trainer. This IS NOT the place. Owner doesn't know how to separate personal from professional. Once he has you hooked as a client, prepare for drama. I won't be name dropping any of the females I've spoken to personally out of respect for their privacy, but I know a few of them who've openly confirmed this is a 50+ yr old man who acts more like a high schooler when he doesn't get his way.Confirmed: If you don't entertain this man outside of your fitness goals, he'll talk negatively about you to others at the gym.On another note, gym looks cool. Which is why I gave one star instead of zero.Happy lifting

My first impression, upon walking into the gym, was how clean and updated all the equipment is. Quite frankly one of the best looking gyms I've stepped into. I was immediately greeted by Harold, who was extremely kind and professional. I liked his answers, in regards to personal training and the fact that he takes a more personalized/analytical approach, looking at the strengths and weaknesses of each individual before assessing their personal training needs. He definitely doesn't try prescribing a "one size fits all" approach to training, which I found to be encouraging.

Though a small gym, it's perfect for what it caters towards: bodybuilding. I'm only in town for a week and was able to buy a week guest pass for a very reasonable price and will enjoy this gym while I'm here. Great staff, good equipment, 10/10

I love small gyms, they remind me of high school and college training. Steel Jungle has some of the best/custom equipment I have seen so far. The owner gave me an amazing tour of his gym; very respectful and professional. I dropped my 24 hours fitness membership to get ready to join this gym. This gym will keep me on my transformation mission.

There is not enough words to explain how amazing this gym has been for me and my husband, but I will try.First of all from the beginning the owner helped us feel extremely comfortable, gave us all the details we needed and a tour of the gym. Initially we began attempting to make it a goal to start going to the gym. Every time we arrived he was friendly and encouraging. To me as a female, my favorite part was the ability to feel free in a gym where peoples priority is to work out. People dont stare and everyone is extremely helpful.On our second phase here I chose to sign up for personal training sessions. Ive had these sessions at other big gyms and tbh there is nothing in comparison to training here. You get a full session with not only directions on what to do, the trainer at all times ensures you are being safe and explains the purpose of every exercise. My husband chose to join and he was already an athlete and feels challenged every time.Honestly when I first signed up to train I thought it was going to be a month or two deal. Once you start training here you wont want to stop. Not only is it a awesome gym. The people that workout here are awesome as well as all there trainers.Strangely to say... it begins to feel as a small gym family! Anyone that needs a gym... NEEDS TO sign up here!

This place is not your typical gym which is what made me want to join. It has some machines I had never seen when touring a typical gym.Armani is a trainer up there. He is very helpful in showing me the correct way to use machines and how to exercise properly. I had never had a trainer before nor had experience using machines before, so I appreciate the approach he takes in not making me feel dumb for my lack of knowledge. He also does a boot camp 2 days a week which is awesome because then you're with a group of people and it can be more fun.

This gym has been a life saver for me and here’s a few reasons why:1.) Always open and very convenient.2.) Great, new, reliable machines and has equipment that most commercial gyms don’t have.3.) A friendly, nonjudgmental environment that makes you feel welcomed by other members who range from all different walks of life.4.) Always CLEAN!5.) And last BUT NOT LEAST, the owner Harold is very friendly and helpful. He’s very knowledgeable at what he does and is willing to lend a helping hand or give words of advice for no matter what you bring his way. He’s very encouraging.I would HIGHLY recommend Steel Jungle for anyone ready to get started on their fitness journey!

I walked into Steel Jungle back in August 2018 after watching the building construction. I was excited to see a real true gym so close to work and home.I was surprised when I walked in that I was greeted by the owner Harold. We talked about what the gym had to offer including personal training. I trained with Harold for 3 months to get my 57 year old body back in decent shape. Harold is tough as a trainer as you would expect him to be. But he is respectful and always had my best interest in mind.I workout in the gym now on my own and love every minute I am there. Everyone I run into is always kind, considerate, and willing to help if you need something. It's really a Steel Jungle family.I guess the workout experience is all about how you make it! My experience at Steel Jungle has been amazing. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who is serious about their physical health and truly interested in working out. This is not the cookie cutter meat market like so many fitness facilities have turned in to.
