Total Fitness

The fact that I travel 40 minutes one way to train here is exactly why you should check it out. It's a no frills gym but the community and staff treat you like family. They are so incredibly supportive yet push you to be your best. The atmosphere is just calling you in to lift something heavy. I am currently training with Sean, the manager, for my first Powerlifting competition. I'm learning so much from him and getting stronger every session.

I looked around at some gyms close by and this one caught my attention, it isn't a traditional fitness center by any means... It's more of a hardcore dungeon style bodybuilders gym! The atmosphere is dreary and kinda old school with some dirt and rust mixed in! Being into a more hardcore bodybuilding mind set I loved this gym! It was kinda pricey for one visit ($10) but its only 20 a week and I didn't ask what signing a contract would be! The equipment is a little outdated and the layout is kinda crammed but it made me want to lift heavy and grunt louder and cheer on the guy bench pressing 315lbs next to me! Not for the faint of heart but definitely for any animal looking for a good pump!

Great local gym. The way lifting should be. Knowledgable staff and no distractions.

This is a Dungeon Gym. It is absolutely amazing. Great atmosphere. I worked out here for about 9 months before I had to move away. It is absolutely not like the gyms of today. If you want pretty equipment to look at while you workout, this isn't the place for you. It's the perfect place for someone serious about training. ACTUAL motivating pictures and quotes all over the walls. The equipment is old but it is GREAT equipment and well kept up with. Any piece of equipment can last so long as you keep up with it. It's all well maintained and a fantastic atmosphere. Typically when you go in, you will only be around other people who see it as a lifestyle themselves.
The only reason i give it a 4 instead of a straight 5 is amount of equipment. There are some pieces I wish were in there, but simply can't be because the owner has packed his gym to the very limit. If they were to somehow add a little size to the facility and get in just a tad more equipment it couldn't possibly be less than a 5/5. This gym is perfection as a training environment.
I've been a member of OneLife, Gold's, Powerhouse and all sorts of gyms in my life. This is one of my top 2 gyms I've ever been to and I miss it to this day.
