Fitness & Gyms in Granite City, IL

“This place is huge, clean, and the trainer, Karissa, is helpful and attentive to her clients. The people are so welcoming and I never felt out of place once. The environment here is motivating. Highly recommend.”

“Had to go in there today because granite city didn't have printer ink of course I grabbed some other things it was a pleasant crowd nobody took pics of me or cursed me out which is normally my Wally world experiences”

“Id like to address some of Petrofam3 claims as I believe that person to be new to the gym culture or just not know what this gym is about. I'd like to start by saying this gym is a power house gym!!! You need to understand this, it reminds me of dorian Yates gym in blood and guts but cleaner. This is a place for serious lifters. I've been here on and off for around 7 years. Your accounts are grandfathered in. The price you pay when you started is the price you pay today.... There are no back door deals as stated by petrofam3 ,some pros train free sure( cause they deserve it!) I know guys who have been going here for over 30 years and only pay 4$ a month.... That to me was awesome, I wasn't jealous though I've also never heard of the skin infection claims and I am fairly sociable among the crowd so I won't even address that as I don't believe it to be true. This gym was designed around pros and what the body needs!! You won't find a quarter of the equipment you'll find here at any of these daisy chain gyms we have in the area, and they are always adding new Machines!! Now to the gym and what it's really about. There's not a single window in the place, there's chalk dust literally everywhere, it gives of a kind of a dungeon vibe, theres animals walking around disguised like men. There's beastly crys as they lift over 500 lbs regularly.there's no such thing as a lunk alarm in this world. This is NOT i repeat NOT a place for soft and sensitive people. if you want a spotless gym this certainly isn't the place for you, but you will be able to asses this on your first walk threw before even signing up. One of the most welcoming places I've ever been with staff that treats you how you treat them, if they seam rude or reluctant to help you in any way I'd almost guarantee your simply a pain to deal with ‍ Over all I wouldn't change anything about this gym other then enforcing the stripping of the weights and re racking and the trash radio stations they play(supposedly being changed soon) It's not uncommon to have a majority of the weights on the floor or a squat bar loaded with 405+ but there's just so many people that come threw the doors it's hard to enforce so I understand. Otherwise it would be 5 stars in my book!! Best gym within 30 miles at the least, maybe more.”
