Love this gym. Old school pumping iron vibe. I went to Yoga here and they offer martial arts classes as well.

Was in Lexington for work and found this gem of a gym via google. If you like old school cool straight out of Pumping Iron this is your place. Very nice sized gym, lots of great equipment, some really nice vintage chain drive Nautilus machines, and all the right stuff for a great workout. Very reasonable $10 day pass. The staff were super nice and welcoming, it was never crowded, and everything was in good working order.I came here two days and got two great workouts in. This one I am saving for future stops in Lexington. 5 Stars!!!!

Best gym in town! Not a crowded teenager hangout like most modern facilities. Huge gym with a dedicated leg room, bench press room, 2 sets of cables, abdominal room, 2 sets of dumbbells (up to 150lbs), boxing/posing room, and some hard to find old equipment. Only cons, building needs some TLC, located in a rough part of town, and its not accessible 24hrs.

LOVE THIS GYM!!! Bill (owner) and Mark are the kindest people. There’s tons of space, and plenty of machines to choose from. My favorite part is that there’s barely anyone there so the machine you want will likely be available almost anytime of day. They even have a basketball court!
