If you’re looking for a gym where you’re welcomed and accepted no matter your strength or ability, then this is the place you want to be. The trainers are knowledgeable and encouraging, and they’ll meet you where you are on your fitness journey. The other gym members working along with you are welcoming and motivating. Literally everyone there, from the owners to the trainers to the other members, just want to help you be the best version of yourself.

When my old gym of several years closed (RIP The Summit), I lost my most important happy place. I dreaded the thought of moving on to a faceless, corporate, big box gym and never regaining that sense of joy and belonging that I’d found there. But the UGL has given me these things in spades.This place just radiates positive and welcoming energy. The highlights of my day are often found in the mornings I spend here just getting after it with so many other inspiring, motivated, and joyful people.Whether you’re looking for group classes, personal training, or all the equipment you could need for a great workout, this place has you covered. Did I already mention that everyone there is also incredibly nice and that the vibes are always excellent? I probably just needed to say it again.I love you, UGL!

It may be titled The Underground Lab, but the results of joining the gym definitely can't stay hidden for long! Corny, but true! - I've been coming here for a few months and I love it. Fair pricing, excellent variety of quality machines, weights, racks, fitness modules, personal trainers and group sessions, etc.. plus they do boxing here which I'm apart of as well. Highly recommend this gym and all it has to offer! Easy 5 star review!

I love the UGL! Ben has been my trainer for a year now. He is incredibly knowledgeable! He has been so supportive and encouraging during our time together. Additionally, he individualizes my training and makes things fun, and interesting while also accommodating previous injuries. Ben is the greatest!

UGL is without a doubt the best gym I've ever visited. I've only been a member for approximately 2 1/2 months, but I've already noticed a significant difference in my body, mind, and motivation. I'm stronger, fitter, and feel better in general! Workouts are something I constantly look forward to.The trainers are competent and experienced, and they can adapt workouts to suit any ability level. They assist you focus on your objectives and provide you the skills you need to keep moving forward!I can't say enough good things about this gym. It's more than simply a gym; it's like having a second family!

This gym has ruined all other gyms for me.Two years ago, I was done. I was done with commercial gyms and the way I always felt watched while working out, and the lack of results I was getting, and the fact that they didn’t care about me as an athlete.As someone who grew up playing and loving sports, I craved a team. A team that supported me and pushed me. I craved a coach that wouldn’t coddle me and tell me how beautiful I was, but yell and curse at me when they knew I could do more and give more. I craved that thrill only smashing goals and winning with could give me.I pulled up to The Underground Lab and thought to myself, “This looks sketchy.” However, I walked in and I fell in love. I still get butterflies every time I walk in. The dark mats, the dimmed lights, the thumping bass of the music. Let me tell you nothing gets me more pumped to lift heavier or run faster than bass.Now it’s been two years and this is not my gym. This is my family.My body has transformed. I have lost weight and built muscle. I am lighter than I was in high school and I have never lifted as much as what I lift now. But that’s not all this gym has done for me.This gym has given me mental endurance. I have gained a mental toughness that has helped me survive as an ER nurse through a pandemic. When I’m covered in PPE, sweating out of every pore, doing all I can to save someone’s life, while I know I have three other patients who are waiting on me, I think to myself, “If I can survive 5 minutes of burpees, 500 meters on the rower, and assault bike intervals, then I can do this.” I can do anything because of what this gym has given me.Here’s what I tell everyone who asks me about my workouts and this gym. Nothing prepares you for it. You can do all the lifting in the world and you will still be incredibly sore the next day. You could do all the running in the world and the workouts are still gonna kick your butt and your lungs will feel as if they are on fire. You will struggle, because everyone struggles. You will be pushed. They will take your dumbbells from you and give you heavier ones when they know you can do more. They will increase your speed on the treadmill when they know you can go faster. They will add another set if you’re not giving your all. But these people beside you will scream for you. They will finish with you. They may be just as dead as you are but they will get up, stand right next to you, scream your name, and when you complete your last rep, they will be your biggest fans. And you will do the same for them.So be that new kid. Be that person who starts a new year with new resolutions. Be that person who try’s and fails and then try’s again. Because I was that person. I am still that person. Now I have a team and a coach and a family.Become an Undergrounder. You won’t regret it.

Do you remember the theme song to the sitcom "Cheers"? Well, the Underground Lab is the "Cheers" of fitness facilities.It's not like any other gym - there is a deep sense of comradery and support that feels like home.The training at The Underground Lab is THE BEST!The facility is always immaculately clean (with sanitizer bottles at every station), the fitness modules are targeted, challenging & diverse (there is not a muscle that you wont work! and you will NEVER get bored - oh! and completely scalable to every level), flexibility is always infull consideration (with virtual classes, small in-person modules, and open access options), and the coaches are the "cream of the crop" (knowledgeable, talented athletes who also happen to be pretty funny - there is nothing like a good laugh to make you feel like you can add another plate to that bar!).

I have been a member for about 9 years and have always enjoyed each day i go, even if it's torture. ? Everyone pushes & encourages one another during those tough workouts & youhave fun. When days are rough ugl is definitely my safe haven to get away from the stress & craziness of work/life. Couldn't imagine going anywhere else.

I’ve been attending the Underground Lab for about 3 1/2 months now and they are hands down the best gym I’ve ever attended. The staff are extremely knowledgeable on what it takes to get you to where you want to be within your abilities at that time and how to progress you past that point. All of the staff and members genuinely care about you, your goals, and helping you progress past those goals. They’ve helped me shed 30 Lbs. and build up my overall strength immensely in such a short amount of time. I look forward to continuing my journey with all the trainers and members that I not only consider friends but my second family. I strongly recommend anyone to attend and put in the effort to allow the #uglfitfam to help change your life.
