Met and exceeded my expectations. I was in town for a few days from Canton and needed a place to lift for the day. Very cool place to lift, lots of equipment and motivating atmosphere. The staff were helpful and quickly showed me where things were and pointed out some rules but didn't bog me down letting me get to move some iron. I plan on being in Dayton at least a few times a year and I will be sure to return. If I lived here this is the gym I'd be in.

Being a 15 year old kid I was not sure if I wanted to go workout so the owner took me in for free for the first two months and I LOVED IT. If I didnt have to move i would have stayed.

Great gym oriented towards strength training at all levels. The pictures belie an intimidating environment, but the gym is really quite welcoming.

I was in Dayton, OH for business and was looking for a place to lift. Came across this place on google and saw the website along with photographs and reviews. I decided to go check it out being I'm a fan of the old school style gyms. The owner, Marcus (previously trained at west side barbell), was a really cool and down-to-earth guy. Not only did he let me lift there when I was in town, but gave me a few pointers on my deadlifts and squats. Very nice guy. All of the other members that were present when I was there were also very welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend this gym.

Felt at home as soon as I walked in! Very old school vibe with modern, quality programming! If you are looking to excel in powerlifting, weightlifting, crossfit, or strongman or if you are a high school, collegiate or semi pro athlete and need to get bigger, faster, stronger, this is where you need to be. There is no other place like it in or around the Dayton area!!

I have always been and avid gym rat being a division 1 athlete; the leadership, tutelage and atmosphere at the Dirty Gym (DG) is completely surpasses anywhere I have ever worked out. If you really want to see results and gains the DG is the place to be!
