Nice place. Some equipment is older and needs to be cleaned and painted. Other than that, a wide variety is available.

Was an excellent gym, but fell hard, prices are OVERBOARD $$$ and staff jumbled up too many guys that train there walk behind counter as if they also run the place. Weird.

Best gym downriver, hands down! I love this place! I love the members, I love the staff, and I love the equipment. Oakwood is my 2nd home. Always clean and organized! If you are looking for a well managed gym that welcomes everybody, go to Oakwood!

I like this gym alot. Closest thing to a powerhouse in my opinion, but yet it can accommodate the normal gym dwellers and not only the big lifters. Everyone is pretty friendly, easy to talk to, and just there to get their workouts in.
