It's like if a dive bar was a gym, and since I don't drink, that works out for me! seriously though, it has everything you need and none of what you don't. I was deadlifting today while a guy was doing HIIT on the treadmill - that's about all you need. Lifting & cardio. In at about 6 am, there were maybe 5 other folks in there - no crowding, no peacocking. Just quiet and chill. No fancy. Take your shower at home. Bring gloves and a towel. read more

Loprinzi's has everything you need for a good workout, including a pool and an upstairs where there are a few classes in the big open space.

I've never paid for a gym membership but was happy to hear that Loprinzi's allows a $10 drop in fee for guests. All equipment is old school but well maintained. Free weights, bars, machines, benches, cardio, all the basic items are here to maximize and give you the most effective workout. The front desk is where you'll check in and pay. Lots of merch is available, including tank tops and gym bags. For those experienced any of the bar and free weight areas will be perfect for what ever routine you are into. Machines are available for anaerobic workouts targeting isolated muscles. Compound muscles work out, you'll want to hit the free weights, bars for dead lifts, or squat stations for compound leg workouts. I also appreciate how the owner hand-wrote all the notes regarding proper sanitizing and sanitizing stations. This is a great gym for local residents and visitors alike. Definitely give it a shot! read more

There really isn't a lot to be said that hasn't been stated in the positive reviews below. Bob puts hours into his facility to make sure that you get a quality lift whenever you pull up. The equipment isn't brand new, but it is so well maintained and taken care of. New machines will compensate for the weight you are moving, these machines force you to push/pull honest weight. I would give it 6 stars if I could. read more

Needed a gym to go to while visiting my folks here in Oregon over Winter Break from college - 2nd best gym I've ever been to hands down.* Equipment is sturdy & robust despite showing it's age (the gym's been open since 1947), and fulfilled my needs perfectly. (Plenty of power bars, squat bars & deadlift bars to go around, also plenty of sturdy chinup bars which was perfect as a weighted calisthenics specialist.) It's a gym very proud of its history. Dave & Bob are also super knowledgeable and graciously lended a spot whenever I needed one. Very friendly people. Great training environment for people who actually are serious about & enjoy training, yet even so folks here are nice. Only heads up I can give to those considering going here is to realize parking will sometimes back up to the surrounding side streets, but even so not a bad neighborhood to park at all. That, and it can get crowded during peak times but assuming you're already versed in proper gym etiquette you should get along with the people around you just fine. Definitely worth the 22-minute commute in my case to train at a place that's a part of vintage strength training history. (And the membership rates are MUCH more reasonable than any big box gym I've been to. Best option for those traveling & looking for a temporary & affordable training environment.) *Note: I'm from the midwest/ WI & MN area and #1 gym in my experience is Los Campeones off of Blaisdell Ave in downtown Minneapolis. Great gym with numerous similarities to Loprinzi's with the added benefit of more space & some newer equipment sprinkled in with plenty of old. Highly recommend if anyone reading passes thru that area. Otherwise Loprinzi's is easily 2nd best overall in the country and best gym for my needs while visiting the Pacific Northwest. Thanks again fellas! read more

genuinely one of the friendliest gym environments I've ever been in. The guys in charge are great, the people who go there are super thoughtful and supportive, all the equipment you could ask for. a great place to go if you're looking for a sick pump read more

Too bad this gym is in such poor condition and dirty. The fees are low, so that must be the draw. I value my health.

Bob and Dave are the best! They are both extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Their bars and free weights are top notch, and their machines are in good shape considering how old they are. read more

I drive from across town to train here. Bob is the man. The classic equipment and old-school feel keeps me coming back. Also, no contracts and ridiculously cheap rates. read more

This gym is a pleasure to workout in. Coming from LA Fitness I feel like this gym has my kind people! I especially love the owner Bob who is kind genuine and gentle at getting you started. I throughly enjoy myself at this Gym and I highly recommend it. read more

Top Ten reasons why Loprinzi's kicks ass and why I'll never leave: #10) You have to sign in on a sweat and blood stained notebook. That way I can see if Don B. has been slackin'. #9) A hanging graveyard of destroyed olympic bars decorates the front wall. #8) I had never seen someone (besides me) benchpress about 600lbs raw before. #7) If you see a clean piece of equipment, you know you should avoid it. #6) Some of the chicks here lift more than I do. #5) The most interesting, helpful, and friendly gym-goers and owners I've met (awwww). #4) They have a crack-bin at the deadlift and clean-&-jerk stations. Ok, it's just chalk...but some people use that stuff like it's crack. #3) All dues are honor system based, and if you don't pay, you know Loprinzi can break you. #2) They have a state of the art LCD television. That only plays TV shows from 1950. #1) "60 Years and still going strong. I'll never quit!" read more

I was assaulted last month. I owe a debt of gratitude to Bob, and the owners of the past, for giving me the strength to overcome my attacker. Always, the members assisted me in questions I needed to pursue a solid regimen of strength training. Free weights teach balance. The machines are more muscle specific. No frills. No prancing. Just honest iron tossing. Although it has been several years since I have been here, these guys saved my life. read more

This place has a certain spot in my heart. It's the first gym I went to when I moved to Portland years ago. Bob, the owner, is a charming older gentleman who genuinely loves what he does. The members are a mix of competitive powerlifters/bodybuilders, neighborhood folk and old hippies who use the steam room. It's basically average joes a la dodgeball. Although it is a bit cramped, they really cram a lot of gear in there. My favorite touch is the hand made dumb bells that look like they're out of a 1950's fitness magazine. There's always a western or sports playing on the 1 tv in the place and the music selection is open for anyone who wants to plug in their iPod into the stereo. Basically You come here to lift heavy shit. No frills, no bros taking selfies in the gym mirrors, no instagram models trying to pitch you their skinny tea. Just sweat, callouses, and grunting. It's down and dirty read more

I got to work out tonight in Loprinzi's Gym in Portland. It was started in 1948 and has had lots of celebrities come through their door. It smells of urine and sweat and probably hasn't been dusted since the week it opened... and it was freaking awesome! Seriously, my home gym is a great big huge thing affiliated with a hospital. I love these small places with history and character. The staff was very friendly and I got a great workout in. Even though most of the equipment looks like it is from the 80's, it's in great working shape, save for a few pieces that needed upholstery work. I'm a big dude at 6'3" with a 50" chest, and the lack of adjustability on a few machines were an issue, but I'd still recommend it for the ambiance and being around "real lifters". I'm an out-of-towner so i only needed a day pass and they provided it for $10, plus I bought a t-shirt as a memento. read more

This place is a crackup - yeah, there're old pictures of the weight-lifting guys in there, and there is also really ancient equipment. In the women's locker room there's that old thing (not even sure what it's called) that has a piece of material that wraps around your central "trouble" area and shakes you! All the outlets lining the ceiling are certainly "out of code" and there are several interesting people hanging out in there. No fashion meat-market-like place here... There's a stretching room upstairs (yes, they have yoga for donations), the fee structure is great - it's more like a community center. And there's also a semi-hot sauna in the locker room. Overall great place for the price. I'll be back soon... read more

I've worked out at Loprinzi's for the last 9 months. The pros: - Extremely nice people. The staff are all genuine and kind. The other gym members are helpful and friendly. It's a very home-y gym. - It's cheap. My fiancé and I could exercise every month for $70. No contracts. No hidden fees. Just pay your dues and show up. - It isn't usually crowded. - Two squat racks and a ton of free weights. Lots of room to deadlift. This is a weight lifting gym, pure and simple. The cons: - Very old equipment. The machines are not accurate and do not match the weight they're set at. 20lbs at one machine is not 20lbs at another. A good amount of the Olympic plates are broken or missing their pair. When things break, they stay broken. - It is a small gym so it is lacking in space and the machines are limited. You will not be able to do certain exercises here. That said, the gym has a charm to it. If you want a no frills neighborhood weightlifting gym, this is your place. If you're okay with not knowing your accurate weight and just working out to the limit of your resistance (regardless of lbs), you will have few problems here. Above all - great people work and lift here. read more

In the weeks leading up to my move to PDX from LA, I kept my eye on the Oregonian in an effort to become acclimated to my new home (think putting your goldfish bag into the aquarium before releasing him). The week before I set out, I ran across an article about an old-school gym in SE that has hosted the heavy lifting crowd like Jack Lalanne and Jesse Ventura since before your mama met your daddy. The writer placed great emphasis on the community feel of the gym, and the no-frills health club experience. Since I'd called LA home for 4 years, I was understandably intrigued by the concept of an unpretentious workout. When we moved in, I was delighted to find Loprinzi's within sight of my front door! I joined without delay, and a year on, I don't regret the decision. You can pay by the day, week, month or year, and all of the prices are terribly reasonable. Your workout options include cardio, weights, the occasional yoga class, and even swimming in their outdoor lap-pool. The equipment looks ancient, but any gym rat worth their salt will soon discover that it's all in perfect working order. Now, for those of you who get the heebie-jeebies when you think of bacteria invading your personal space, stay the hell away from Loprinzi's. Seriously. Their idea of sanitizing is hitting the equipment with some Windex and a paper towel. In sum, if you're in SE Portland and you need to work off all the great beer this city has to offer, check out Loprinzi's. If nothing else, you'll have witnessed a little piece of fitness history. read more

This place should be called "Average Joe's"... or "Lorenzo's Oil"... because both come to mind every time I set foot in this place. Lorenzo's.. . I Mean Loprinzi's is this great old school bodybuilder gym where, if legend holds true, Jesse "The Body" Ventura used to press iron. And frankly, there is a ton of iron to go around here. This place reminds me of those 1960's and 70's gyms you see huge roided out muscle head bodybuilders working out in, in films like Pumping Iron. Think Muscle Beach crammed into a tiny ghetto-ass shack in SE PDX, but with an odd assortment of people (ranging from muscle-bound to average to old to whatever) hanging out and working out. The gym itself is small and crammed so full of equipment that you generally can't use about half of the machines in the place. That's fine tho, because it's all of the specialty barbell sets and rounded barbells that I go there for. Most of the machines are older than me (probably by about 2-times), and many of the benches and weights were custom made for Loprinzi himself. The walls are festooned with yellowing, cheaply framed photos of oiled-up muscle men (and the occasional muscle chicks), and motivational sayings from people like Jack Lalane. Many of the photos are signed by the muscle dudes themselves! Just about any and every torture device/universal machine you could never want is here, crammed one next to the other, so close that sometimes you have to climb over the bench of one to get to the other. Needless to say, on a crowded day, it can take some ballerina-like coordination to move about without colliding with someone else. Yeah, the place is dirty. Real dity. This is not really the place to get cardio equipment, although they do have some treadmills, bikes, and elliptical machines. This is really a weightlifter's heaven, with all sorts of specialty benches you can use to target those specific muscles. Where can I go from flat bench to incline bench to decline bench, all in a 10 foot radius, when I really want to work that chest? Loprinzi's, that's where. Reasonable fees, honor system, month-to-month (NO CONTRACTS), no pushy sales people, and an employee almost always available to spot you if you need one, this place is total community, an total strength training. I am not sure if I will ever be able to go back to a glossy corporate cardio-driven workout facility after the Average Joe's experience. Oh, and they have an outdoor pool that's pretty much only useful in the summer. read more

I'm so torn. On the one hand, I love supporting local businesses. I love a gym that's straight out of a Rocky movie complete with grizzled old weightlifters. I especially love a place that's 80% iron. If you work out here, you mean business. Right? Eh, well. Kind of. The pros: mostly weights and machines. To an iron-loving gal like myself, this is heaven. Loprinizi's also has a fantastic community feel to it. The owners know your name and your story--and if they don't yet, they will. People are also pretty friendly for the most part. The drawbacks: *sigh* It's a weightlifting gym which means the same five people are going to be hogging the squat racks and deadlifting platforms each and every time you go there. It doesn't matter how long you're there or what time you go, those racks will be taken be the same people each time. Hygiene is also an issue. Zero spray cleaners to be found to wipe off the machines, people are allowed to walk around barefoot (dude, at a lifting gym--really?) and there's black mold growing on some of the ceiling tiles. Overall, lots of potential but I took my business elsewhere after a month. It's a damn shame because Portland is really lacking a great weightlifting gym. read more

Great place to workout! They are open until 10pm on weekdays, plenty of parking, bike racks in front to lock up your bike, and no contracts! Staff is friendly. There is a good mix of people of all ages all trying to improve their health, but it appeals to more of the body builder types. There is nothing fancy about this place, just good old fashioned free weights and heavy lifting. This gym is also on a bike route street. There are a few lock cubies to put keys and wallet in, but there are only a few working ones, I have not had an issue where there was not one available. Also there is no AC and the water fountain is barely functional, so I just always remember to bring water and a towel! read more

Loprinzi's Gym - Only in Southeast Portland, would you find a gym with a cat! - Gyms Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I love working out here! The equipment is ancient and NOT clean, but the vibe in this place is great. A community of friendly folks who love to bump some weights. Also, Oregon's Strongest Man works out here -- so I hear. No contracts. You pay your dues on honor system. What a noble place! Love it. No douche bag sales people (see 24 Hour Fitness -- where you're just another number caught in the corporate gym rat race! Hahaha, I hate that place so much. You really want to buy a membership from someone who can't bench their body weight? Don't stink so!) I've been working out for 15 years and in just a few weeks at Loprinzi's I've managed to peak. Because... There's less distractions. No TVs. It doesn't take 30 minutes to get in and out of. It's never too busy and anyone will give you a spot. This is one of my favorite places in Portland. Seriously. Oh -- there's also a cat named Blacky that lives there. He's real sweet but you should only pet him when he's sleepy. read more

I know the ins and outs of how gyms work, and this place gets 5 stars because it's not the typical health club with the usual fees and hard sells. Health clubs tend to have similar business models: they offer long-term contracts, and charge initiation fees, as well as other fees in addition to the monthly fee. Some will charge more for lockers. The people that work there are hired to track and make sales. Their bosses only care about sales and are out of shape. So to find a place that charges month to month, and has more free weights than a more expensive typical gym, is like finding a gem. The place isn't that clean that's for sure, and I wouldn't take a shower here, but I don't come to the fucking gym to take a fucking shower. FYI, some people come to gyms and hang out entirely in the showers and saunas while they're there. It's not crowded here at all, and it attracts people who are more serious about their workouts. You do have a few "bros" who do really dumb workouts but the guys tend to be into strength rather than bodybuilding even though a bodybuilder started the gym. The people who work here want you to be healthy, that's the most important difference. I come here because for my goals, it has what I need and provides it better than gyms I have been accustomed to going to. They also have chalk which helps a lot on the metal pull up bar and anytime you need more grip. read more

This is a dive gym - it's a good thing. I LOVE IT! When I wanted a gym to join, I checked out Jungle Gym (which is much cheaper) but none of the treadmills worked. Then I checked out Bally's in Milwaukie because it was on my way home. I couldn't just join Bally's, I had to schedule an appointment with a workout consultant. So I went in. While waiting for the workout consultant, I watched the yuppy hobnobbing and fashion show; I knew this would not be a place for me. Give me a dive gym any day. So, I finally settled on Loprinzi's. Gosh, this is a very cool place. You can go in, work out, and go home. You can talk to people if you want or you don't have to talk to no one. The people that are members as well as staff will all help you figure out the unusual equipment (or Ken W's "useless old junk"). Bob, the owner, is very helpful too. Unfortunately I met my boyfriend and spent more and more time with him than at the gym. It's been a couple years since I've last been there. But I'm-a-goin back because I can't button my pants anymore. read more

Mixed review. Loprinzi's has everything a good strength training facility needs... plus a whole bunch of relatively useless old junk, all crammed into an improbably tiny space. I had to crawl on top of things and move equipment around just to do basic exercises like pull ups or use a barbell. They have olympic lifting platforms and bumper plates, which is great, but the platforms are crammed with machines and junk that make serious olympic lifting impossible. If you dumped a bar or failed a lift, you'd probably be seriously injured crashing into stuff. D'ohh! The old school spherical end dumbbells are cool, but all the silly benches and contraptions are crammed so close together that you have to move a lot of stuff to lift heavy ones safely. Something must have happened with the space since the old-school days of Loprinzi, because there's no way the venerable guys on the wall would have tolerated such a cluttered junk room as a workout facility. Real old school lifting is simple: barbells, dumbbells, bodyweight exercises, a few benches and squat racks are all that's needed. If they removed at least half the machines and useless specialty benches, it would be one of the best gyms I've ever been to. As is, I think three stars is generous. Judging by the other reviews, most people don't seem to care. Too bad. If enough customers bugged them about it, maybe they would clear out the space and make it into a functional gym. read more

It's a great local gym staffed with people who care. Their rates are more than reasonable, they're never too busy, and they have serious weights. Before I went here, I was under the impression that I was going to be surrounded by dudes who would scoff at the little bit of weight I was benching but there are all ages, genders, and ability levels here. Plus they have a gym cat. How awesome is that? read more

Come here to lift! Whether you are the strongest man in Oregon or a young woman just getting started (me), you will find the equipment you need and be welcomed. They have enough presses and racks to accommodate everyone, and it doesn't get packed. Regulars come to sweat, not be seen. Flexible and very low rates. Even a punch card! You can't find that anywhere else. Yeah it's a bit cramped and the facility needs some TLC, but that is part of the 1950s neighborly charm. read more

Trained here during a short trip to Portland. It is a super old school bodybuilding gym. Folks at the desk were extremely friendly! Pictures of the classic physique bodybuilders like Steve Reeves (pre Golden era) are on the walls and serve as a reminder to real bodybuilding pre-steroid abuse. There are machines in here that look so old and cool. Some look like torture devices with red glitter vinyl seats. They have round end dumbbells. Old Nautilus machines and beat up plates all around. Space on the floor is somewhat cramped to the point where some of the equipment seems unused and even inaccessible. Losing some of the space hogging cardio equipment could better optimize the training floor to accommodate the resistance training equipment (who does cardio in a gym like this anyway?) Again I came here because of the history and uniqueness of the place. If you need a bougie sauna room, shower and machines that sync to your iPhone app - then please go elsewhere. I don't need ya interfering with my epic gains! read more

Now this is a GYM! If you're looking to pump some iron, it's all here. Very friendly atmosphere and lots of people who live for fitness.

An old school gym with lots of history. Has all the basics you need and the lack of bench/curl bros is a big plus. The staff is friendly and no one will try to sell you anything. Competitive lifters are welcome at Loprinzi's just as much as anyone else (hard to find places like this nowadays) and if you're into making some serious progress, you will find experienced lifters here who will be happy to give some tips. It can get crowded at times due to the small space and if you use a power rack a lot, you might need to wait for your turn occasionally since there's only one of them. Please don't hog the rack if you don't need it for squats or overhead presses by the way. :) read more

Update: Looks like the Yelp map is now correct. Also, we got a question about wi-fi in the gym and we do have it. If you need to stay connected at the gym, Loprinzi's is your place! read more

If you love corporate chain gyms, you're gonna hate this place. Real people. Easy to sign up. No hidden BS. No contract. Just pay your fee and work out. The end. Best gym I've ever set foot in. Come try it out! read more

I moved to a new neighborhood recently and am having trouble finding a new gym. Loprinzi's is now too far away for me but damnit I'm going to miss working out there. The gym has such a great atmosphere to it, and buying a 10-pass for $50 made this a no-brainer for someone like me who travels a ton and isn't always in town enough to justify some of the monthly membership rates some gyms are offering. It's got a real old-school vibe to it and everyone who works out there seems to have respect for the equipment and each other, I'll probably still get a 10-pass and drive the extra few miles now and then just because I enjoy it so much. read more

I don't usually write reviews but Loprinzi's is absolutely ridiculous great ! From the owner to the staff and everything in between . Me being very interested in old school bodybuilding helps me appreciate this place just that much more . The equipment is great and weight feels very genuine compared to the big industry gyms . I honestly couldn't find one bad thing about Loprinzi's and truly feel it's a special place to be . Thanks Loprinzi's for the greatest gym I've ever been to ! read more

Remember the original Rocky movie?? Burgess Meredith plays his reluctant coach?? He's dressed in old gray sweats and has an equally grizzled attitude?? Well, that sums up who I expect to see each time I enter this gym! It's for serious gym folks who do not wear designer duds to sweat in, do not carry giant frappuccino-style drinks to spill on the hamster wheel Exo-Cizers, and who also do not need 80's style club music to get their burn on. It's a crowded little gym with a no-frills approach. You wanna work those muscles? We can help you do that. There is a pool, theoretically 'solar heated'. I wager the water is COLD. There is a Ladies' sauna, but you need to let 'em know if you want to use it - it'll take awhile to heat up. There are yoga classes twice a week, and lots of other classes to check out. Lots of the equipment benches were built by the Loprinzi family themselves. There's photos of Jack Lalane, Jesse Ventura, and Ahhhnald...you get the picture?? This is NOT 24 Hour Fitness!! I feel a wee bit self conscious in my yoga pants and work out top - like maybe even that's too fancy. But you cannot beat the price! We got a 10 visit punch card for $70.00 and there's no initiation fee. So, I'm stickin' with my blue collar, no-frills, gym which I can walk to. Let the fancy people keep their Pearl District gyms where no one would dare to break a sweat (ewww - it might ruin their make up). I'll just keep working out here. Check it out - it is a great deal! read more

Dude, dude... dude! This place is awesome and by awesome, I mean totally surreal. A ghetto little gym in SE that fulfills it's functional and pragmatic purpose. You can go there and lift weights or run on a treadmill, but the real value lies in the totally old school atmosphere and the happiness such atmosphere affords. The walls are lined with old pictures of weight lifting dudes, the place is filled with regular joes in cut off sweat pants and the equipment is ancient. read more

Incredible gym run and frequented by good folks. This is the sort of place we need more of in the lifting world. Stopped in on vacation in Portland to get in a quick session and wished I could make this my home gym. Thanks for welcoming us in! read more

When I moved to the SE Hawthorne/Division area last fall, I kept passing a little, hole-in-the-wall, neighborhood gym called Loprinzi's. Intrigued, I stopped by and was amazed at how much character this place has. A blast from the past--it's a gym from a time before Gold's and 24 Hour Fitness existed. Granted, I had to get used to some of the crazy old equipment and lack of extras you get in other modern gyms (no smoothie bar, no flat screens to watch while doing cardio.) But after a couple visits, I was sold on this place. The family-run business is so friendly. The owners will help you with your workouts and/or give you tips and advice. Its cheap--there's a standard rate sheet that tells you how much you can pay per day, week, month, or year (no negotiating with a sleazy sales person that is gonna rope you into a long term contract you can't get out of.) It seems the entire community is welcome there as well--old, young, rich, poor, male, female...and everyone just works out--no meat market atmosphere. Now, after six months working out at Loprinzi's, I wouldn't want to go back to a "modern" gym where you're just a number. read more

I've been going to Loprinzi's for over ten years. If you'd like to join a no-frills (meaning none) neighborhood gym with plenty of character (and characters), look no further than Loprinzi's! This establishment is left over from another era - from the Truman era! No joke - it was founded in 1948, to be precise. I'm not sure that the exercise equipment has been replaced (or even cleaned) since then but I wouldn't want to go anywhere else because I love that old school shit; in fact, I bet most Loprinzi's people have never even heard of Run DMC! There's a shallow pool outside for use in warm weather (or year-round if you'e a masochist) and a sauna available as well. Most of the main floor is dedicated to gloriously grimy weightlifting equipment, much of which you won't be able to identify or know how to use. There are a few cardio machines but they're all kind of run down like they're from some dystopian science fiction novel. (The Stairmaster that I use seems to be always on the verge of collapse but it never actually expires. It's kind of like riding around on the back of a heart patient.) There is also a mostly empty room upstairs that is usually abandoned where you can do yoga or stretch out or look at your gut in the mirror or spy on the people in the apartments nearby or whatever. Sometimes there are yoga classes taught up there as well but I take care of that shit on my own time, kid. I don't need to pay anybody to watch me pose, see? There are a lot of serious Rocky-type bodybuilders who go here but also a lot of more casual weightlifters with moustaches and little earbuds and shit. The dudes seem to outnumber the ladies by ten to one, though, which you may appreciate or hate depending on your situation, but hey - that's just the math, friendo. Everyone at Loprinzi's is pretty friendly but they mostly keep to themselves like Midwestern serial killers. What is most appealing about Loprinzi's is the utter lack of pretense or bullshit. No one is going to be impressed by your strength, trust me, so quit fronting on that dead lift. A lot of these cats have been going here for years and have probably strangled people twice as strong as you; they just don't brag about it. Be careful when you're blowing trees in your car outside before you work out because there's a school across the street and the principal will getcha, and this time it won't just be detention, see? If you see barefoot nude-torso curly-locked trumpet player dude, high five him for me. read more

I thought about giving it four stars because of how crowded it is (way too many old machines that no one really uses anymore), but here are the pros: -everyone's friendly -everyone's welcome -the barbells and bumper plates exist -the fees are cheap -the classes are FREE -they have a great rowing machine for cardio Even if the old bodybuilding stuff needs to be replaced with squat racks, you can't beat this place for $350 a year. That's an insane price, especially when Crossfit gyms are sometimes as much as $150 a month. Also, they have a copy of Starting Strength for public use. That's awesome. read more

Great no nonsense old school gym! always clean and equipment always in great working order.
