I called to ask for information as I was interested in joining and they didn’t help at all and I asked if I could tour the facility and he said yes and then I confirm that I can go anytime and he confirms. I then go in Saturday morning, and still not helpful. It was the most awkward experience, I go in and this whole group of men working out just stop as if I was interrupting their session, and then the guy comes over and I let him know I would like more information and he talks fast and I don’t understand what he’s saying, doesn’t offer for me to tour the facility or anything. The atmosphere in there was so uncomfortable and not welcoming at all. They could’ve had an easy sale, but oh well.

Fantastic gym with a wide selection of equipment and a friendly community. Don’t be afraid to go up to people and ask for a spot or instruction on how to use a piece of equipment!

Hanks gym has been nothing but a true blessing! Its a family own business and you feel the love when you come in. I love the iron style weights and how organize everything is! I highly recommend this gym from a beginner to an elite workout person!

No frills and very reasonably priced gym. Unlike bigger name brands, I'm never fighting for machines or being pressured into expensive annual fees. You can do anywhere from month-to-month, to 3 month, 6 months, or a year and there's no hassle. Gym is small but the quality of clientele speaks for itself-- from sports celebrities and Rolls Royce drivers, down to high school students and retirees. All are welcome at Hank's.

Hank's was home right from the beginning. Mr. Ken always made me feel welcomed. Gym is bright and has a breezy vibe. Equipment is well maintained and trainers are top notch. I worked with Darryl Bush who is a great at what he does. Tim Boutte who is a Master of his craft. I would bike 9 miles each way just to go to Hank's. The other gym guests are very friendly and also very encouraging. Mr. Ken runs a fantastic gym and really sets the bar high on how a gym should be: Loving and encouraging. Changing one's body is not easy but at Hank's you will Never feel alone.

Great no frills gym for a great price. A year long membership runs for $50/month and this place has all the equipment you'll need. This gym isn't all that busy either and I don't find myself ever waiting to use a power rack or bench. Compared to other options in the area this is by far the best. Only downside is the more limited hours(only open until 7 and 4 respectively Saturday and Sunday), but I imagine that helps keep the monthly price so low and it's no issue with some planning.
