I couldn’t help but chuckle at Allen Ordonez’s review. My recollection is that he eventually slammed a dumbbell so hard that it broke. That is just a lack of disrespect whereas everyone I know who goes to Elite has the upmost respect for Duane. Duane is both very friendly and very engaging…he seems to always be around to answer questions about training and even offer tips. He doesn’t even hesitate to spot me or anyone else. As for the equipment after being a member of commercial gyms for years with their brand new shiny equipment, I now see how new isn’t always better. The older equipment was built better and the feel when you’re pushing it is totally different. As one reviewer said, it has the feel of an old school bodybuilding gym though the members are diverse in their backgrounds from bodybuilders to powerlifters to people who just want to stay in shape or improve their health. Ages range from high schoolers Duane has helped to people in their 80s! It’s a great gym. Once you’ve tried it out you will never want to step foot in a commercial gym again.

This is exactly the gym I like going to. A rugged gym where everybody's trying to put in as much work as possible within a certain time and leaving. Not too crowded. Just lift weights. Go home, nothing extra. I've never had an issue with the owner. I love it overall. Would love to come back whenever I'm in town

Owner has no sense of customer service. Duane (the owner) stormed across the gym to scream at me while the gym was packed. After politely asking him not to speak to me that way he berated me further for slamming a dumb bell. Maybe if the gym equipment wasn’t from the 80s it wouldn’t be falling apart?Good luck finding equipment with less than a decade worth of use in it.

Been going here for a while and overall it's great, but there are a few issues. The reasons why I like it are because it's location is convenient to me, never ever gets too crowded, 24 hour (big deal), and it's got an old school bodybuilder feel to it that I love, he also has a few chest, leg, back pieces that are amazingNow for the bad parts, while Dwayne does have some really awesome equipment, a lot of his equipment is just very disappointing compared to what I've used in commercial gyms, especially the condition. For example the leg extension machine is so torn up it will rip your skin off at medium weight. Upholstery is falling apart everywhere. The only other downside is there is only a one person "locker room" which is a shower a bathroom and some mirrors, and a counter. But I've very rarely had to wait to use it. If equipment was in better shape id give 5 stars all the way! Overall, this gym is great, and everyone here for the most part is serious about their training! Nice spot, great owner!

24 hour bodybuilding goodness. A perfect gym for meatheads and body builders, and a very good one for powerlifters. Lots of dumbells, multiple racks, hack squat, and some good machines, including some less common ones like a GHR station, a back hyper table, and some interesting calf machines. Everything looks well worn but maintained. The owner was very nice when I went for a trial.The only downsides I can see are that there's no space for some of the more "functional" style training, like throws or sprinting, and the strip mall its in seems a little sketchy.

Best gym for people who like a more hardcore approach to their fitness goals. A lot of great old school pieces that get the job done better. Never too packed and a really friendly environment.
