Awesome, comprehensive gym. This place is golden. They have a very modern approach to training and nutrition with top notch trainers, coaches, and nutritionists anyone can learn from.

Highly recommend this gym to people at all fitness levels! It’s an incredible environment and the coaches are experts in what they do. They support you in achieving your goals in a technically correct and safe manner (shout out to Kelsey!). You don’t need to know what you’re doing going in - It’s a great place to learn. I wasn’t sure that I’d be able to find a gym where I felt comfortable working out and I feel incredibly grateful to have found the L.A.B.

Great spot, well-equipped especially for powerlifting and oly lifting. More than the equipment, the training staff is elite. If you want to compete or just get a better handle on your fitness, this is the place to go. Special shout out to Vlad. Helped me add two inches to my legs in two months.

I have been a member of The L.A.B. Gym for a little over a year, and it has very positively changed my life. I was a little bit apprehensive before I came in for the initial consultation, but I'm glad I took that small leap.During my first personal training session, I was so out of shape that I was only able to finish about half of the scheduled one hour workout. I kept coming back, working with my coaches (shout out to Kelsey and Drew!), and doing the best I could each day. Over time I got stronger and healthier, and my coaches encouraged me to try competing in a powerlifting meet. When I started at The L.A.B., I had no idea that entering a powerlifting competition was something that I could even do. I took another small leap, found that I really enjoy it, and recently competed in my second meet -- it is so much fun!What Chris and his team have created with The L.A.B. is truly special.The gym is clean, the equipment is plentiful and well-maintained, and they offer personal training, cardio classes, cross-training, powerlifting, and olympic weightlifting.The coaches are fantastic. They are friendly; experts with advanced degrees in kinesiology, exercise science, and related fields; and they want you to succeed in your fitness goals. They keep a close watch to make sure you are performing your exercises correctly, including adjusting to any injuries or limitations you might have, and to help you stay on track with your goals. I could not have made the progress I've made in the last year without them.The gym members are a diverse group of people in every decade of life, from mid-teens through mid-70's, including people brand new to exercising as well as some of the top competitive powerlifters in the state of Missouri -- state, national, and world record holders. And they are some of the nicest people I've ever met. Everybody works together, helps each other, and encourages each other. It's a really nice "gym family", and I look forward to seeing everybody each day when I come to the gym.Whether you've never been to a gym before and want to take the first step on your fitness journey, or you're an experienced, competitive powerlifter or olympic weightlifter, I can't think of a better place to be.

I wanted a personal trainer to push me, correct any form errors I might have, and get me over this plateau I was in, and Vladimir Brusov is kicking my butt. As someone who has been in the gym for years, I’ve never sweat this hard and I’ve never come home this sore. The way he’s structured my workout routine is nothing I’ve ever done. As I’m wrapping up week 2, we are already seeing gains. I highly recommend Vladimir. Great trainer, very knowledgeable, and very friendly.I also love this gym. It’s a classic body building gym. Old school equipment, with old school plates, clean, with a friendly-homey atmosphere. The staff are excellent and know you by your first name. The little things like that make the gym a place you’re happy to go to. The owner, Chris, awesome guy - knowledgeable and friendly. Tami, an amazing woman who always greets you with a smile and a cheerfulness energy. I really like this gym. Coming from other gyms around the local St. Louis area, this is my favorite hands down.10/10

Amazing gym. This is not your standard gym where you pay a membership and just show up and exercise. Everyone who enters this gym gets a personal experience. Even if you are not participating in the one-on-one training you will be exposed to highly-experienced trainers. Joining this gym is more like joining a team.Trainers are exceptional. Well trained, hard working and highly-personable. All are incredibly easy to talk to and open to any questions you might have.Overall, this has been the best gym experience I have had. And its not even close. Don't questions it, just join if you are serious about increasing your fitness levels in a fantasist environment.

Their trainers are highly qualified and dedicated to helping YOU reach your goals, whether you are a professional or collegiate athlete looking to sharpen your skills, or someone just starting your fitness journey who wants to become and stay functionally strong, or anywhere in between. Great community, roomy facility, plenty of equipment, excellent trainers and an owner who cares about the people who walk through the LAB’s doors—it really is one of the best parts of my day!!

I've been going to this gym for a while and it's always been kept clean with equipment that works. Avoid prime time hours cause it gets really crowded.

Never had trouble getting a workout in or finding equipment. Went at 5pm one time, learned not to do that but I just had to find some alternatives. They have a ton of equipment so it wasn't hard
