The atmosphere here is great. It's a very supportive community. If you're looking for something outside of the usual Globo gym, I'd definitely stop in and say hi.

This facility is great, it's nice and wide open, and for the most part the staff are friendly. However, it's unfortunate that the equipment has gone downhill over the years. The gym has lots of options of equipment but sorting through bent bars is a daily occurance asdamaged equipment is not taken out of service and the equipment left hasn't been replaced/updated in years. For the price you pay you would think maintenance would be more regular and consistent.

Great gym! Positive environment for serious weightlifters. They offer a number of programs at amazing prices so newer lifters can get some guidance without hurting themselves. Consistent competitions keep you motivated, and staff contain some world record holders. Amazing place!

It's just the best gym that I've ever trained in!! Anybody can buy cool equipment and play motivational music, but the atmosphere at Brute is filled with intensity and support for fellow lifters. If you wanna be pushed out of your comfort zone and into the best results of your life, then Brute is the ONLY gym to consider!!

This gym has more equipment than any strongman or weight lifting gym around. Real old school feel. That being said it’s only downfall is that it needs to be cleaned and organized

One of the best gyms in Hampton Roads. Great selection of equipment to choose from, regardless of your particular sport or goals. They actually have quality Olympic Lifting equipment to use, without having to pay an arm and a leg like you do at most crossfit gyms. No matter where I go, this place will always be like a home to me.

I got a one day pass before I had a tonsilectomy, and it was a blast. I can't believe they have so much equipment and the other members seem friendly. I am hoping to get a membership soon, and am definitely going to be back.

This is a good gym. I believe that i Brute Strength is effective at getting people motivated to workout. As far as equipment, restrooms, and an overall goal achieving there are better places to go. Would I recommend BSG? Probably so, just not my first choice.
