Best gym I have ever been to hands down. This is a real grindhouse. If you’re looking to keep your hair gel in tact or looking to not sweat, this place is not for you. This gym is a real gem . A diamond in the sand in my honest opinion.

This place is totally awesome! Went here to film for the Harvey movie and the owner is really cool and laid back. He offered his place to be a shelter during the actual Hurricaine Harvey. Very generous person who welcomes everyone with open arms.

A good old school heavy bodybuilding gym any flaws it has really come out in the wash with the events and the community only negative I’ve seen is the lack of traditional cardio equipment but if you really need it you can go out and do farmers carry’s in the yard

A friend and I were visiting from out of town and showed up before the doors were open, totally our fault. That said, within minutes both the property manager (and her adorable chihuahuas) and the owner were there without us even calling them to open the doors and welcome us back. Our ride was already there to pick us up so we couldn't go in, but these are definitely the kind of people I want to support, and can't wait to come back and lift in a few months, the atmosphere is perfect, like something out of a bodybuilding movie.

The gym is dirty dirty. The restrooms look like they have NEVER been touched. As a Woman the owner makes me very Uncomfortable with weird corney jokes and the way he talks to the vendors guys is SO DISGUSTING.
