I cannot understate how much I enjoy this gym. It has everything I'd say a good gym needs. It's a small, no frills, old school style, black iron gym, with the essentials needed to get fit. The staff is friendly, the equipment is awesome and the gym is perfectly spaced. I highly recommend it to any serious lifter

Awesome gym. Great equipment and so clean and nice looking. Price is amazing for how close it is to city center. Definitely the best bang for your buck here in Philly.

Fantastic 24 hour gym. Mostly focused on free weights. Multiple power cages for compound excercises, 2 deadlift platforms, Jack's for barbells(which for some reason most gyms dont have), and plenty of weights. The only criticism I have is that the wifi currently has connection issues. EDIT/UPDATE: wifi has been fixed. This place is the real deal.

An amazing lifters oasis with all the equipment you need for weightlifting and more. Pristine gym, kept in great condition. The owners are very kind, hardworking, and full of integrity. If you want to support small business while getting fit, this is the place for you.

Very clean gym. Opened during holidays too unlike the franchise gyms. Has everything you need for strength training. There's spots to do deadlifts and they even have a hex bar too if you don't want to use barbellTwo treadmill and two elliptical. Not really a place for cardio but just gains!

This gym is packed full of all the equipment that any bodybuilder would need but is welcoming to all levels of fitness. The owners and staff are all physically fit and very knowledgeable. I take any advice that is provided knowing that they just want to help and see me improve. The facility is super clean and I love the location. I've been to many large commercial gyms but when I go here, I truly feel like I am apart of a family that will help me along my fitness journey.

Been training here for the past year and it’s definitely the best value in center city, especially for those who train with primarily free weights.24/7 access, showers and bathrooms, WiFi, quality equipment including dedicated 2 deadlift platforms, 4 squat racks, barbells, and bench presses which means never having to wait or work in with other gym goers. Very affordable and clearly stated monthly dues, no contract required, and no shady hidden fees or cancellation procedures. Owners are super friendly and easy to get in contact with. Gym is clean and never too crowded.Great environment for training for powerlifting, and the owners even held a competition last year at the gym. However, there are also treadmills and a selection of weight machines that should satisfy your average gym goer regardless of your fitness goals.There’s a free one day trial available so I definitely recommend checking it out if you’re in the area.
