Nothing beats going to a gym where all you have to do it show up and they tell you what to do!

I was only a member here for 3 months before I moved, but this place was perfect. I hesitate to…read moreleave a review because it's such a hidden gem. It was such a treat to be able to work out at a gym for serious lifters only. The equipment and environment is geared most toward powerlifting, but as someone who does strictly bodybuilding-style training it worked out perfectly for me. They have plenty of dumbbells (I love that they have two pairs of many of the higher lb sets) and some great machines. It for sure is mostly men but it's nice to have the women's bathroom/ locker room always empty lol. Craig is so nice and the environment was super welcoming when I signed up. There are 6 squat racks which is for real crazy privilege for such a small gym. My only complaints are that- the smith machine doesn't go low enough, and the hip thrust machine is really not great (would be better if it were a glute drive). Highly recommend

As the first poster wrote, Strong Inc is still the spot for committed lifters in the Tuscaloosa…read morearea. They've got a full range of free weights and machines, including a pair of power racks and some equipment hard to find at other gyms. The belt squat machine is popular and not standard equipment in regular gyms. The hip extension for glutes is the same. Some cardio equipment (treadmills, stationary bikes, and rowing machines) round the place out. Two dedicated deadlifting stations are super convenient. You can't deadlift at every gym in town and, when you can (like at the Y), you've got to take some time to set the gear up. If you make some jurassic noises at Strong Inc, that's ok. You're not going to get thrown out (I'm looking at you, PF). The vibe is chill and friendly. People at most ranges of skill are there. The folks are focused on their workout, but without an attitude. Bryant, the owner, is super friendly. The drive up there is a mile or two further than some places but 100% worth it. Folks who discover Strong Inc. usually never leave.

The equipment is not cleaned properly, partially due to the minimum wage paid employees, because I wouldn't clean it either with that pay.

I do not want to have dead skin transferred to my hands, especially the germs!!This gym would be a lot better if it was cleaned better!

I have a long and storied history with the UA recreation center. I remember many years ago, when I…read morewas a junior in high-school, seeing it on a tour. I thought it was very nice and could offer a lot. Going into my senior year, after over three years at this establishment, I still agree with those statements with a few caveats. First, three squat racks. Why? There are 40,000 people that go to school here. That is around 1 squat rack for every 13,000 students. That is a horrible ratio. I have waited in line for the squat racks for over 30 minutes before. That is time that I will never get back in my life. Fix it. Second, parking. This one is a little more specific but at the time of writing this review it is the summer. Why did I have to circle the parking lot 6 times to find a parking spot? During the summer, I look forward to the gym being empty. I am busy. I have a lot to do. It's just more wasting time trying to find a spot. A little heads up of the basketball tournament would have been nice. I'm glad that things are being hosted, but there are still patrons of the gym that want to workout. The parking situation isn't any better during the school year. Third, the strict no fun gym hours. Look, the hours here suck. Not just for the weight room, but for everything. The hours on the lap pool just down right don't make sense. There is a common issue with time. Time being wasted. Time = money so therefore money is being wasted. I value my time and this place is taking inconvenient amounts on it not for its primary purpose. Everything is like a YouTube ad. Like yeah you get to workout, but here is a 20 minute inconvenience for you beforehand. The equipment is nice though and it is better than paying for a Crunch membership. 7.5/10

This is great spot to see some of the pre-Columbian history in mound high glory. You can actually climb on a mound and then inside the museum you can learn a great deal more of the history and what was found inside some of the mounds... hint dead things and treasure. This site also clearly provides evidence of the pre-Columbian trade network that existed between Central America, South America and North America. Tip: Quick and easy tour that is well worth a diversion for the experience to learn and actually see some history that lots of folks today just don't seem to know about. Disclaimer: I might have an advanced degree in Anthropology and even though I have actually met Giorgio A. Tsoukalos of Ancient Aliens fame I can make a pretty strong argument that here in Moundville there definitely were NOT any aliens involved in the construction unless they were highly intoxicated aliens with only stone age tech.

Nice bathrooms which for a busy Saturday was pretty well maintained and clean. Love the bench swings- sweet for 2 but big enough for a family of 4. Swings could be raised a little higher so feet don't drag. The piece de la resistance!!!!! The huge slide with the ropes to climb up on "designed for 5-12. 5 May be a bit young but it's nice to have a challenge for older kids (of all ages). There are so many plastic playscapes around the country that are "designed" for 5-12 whet a 9 year old won't be caught seen by their friends in it because it's a "baby thing". This was refreshing to see! Plus for so long our kids have been bubble wrapped and told to be careful we have decades of millions of wimps around. So nice to have a challenge! Good for development physically and mentally! Thank you TUSCALOOSA! Question... when and how do you access the parking lots. They were closed off which initially led me to believe it was a private park.
