If you're more interested in pumping iron than taking gym selfies, Mandrill's is the spot for you. I swung by for a couple of days while hanging with friends in the area, needing a gym to help sustain my powerlifting regimen.Mandrill's exudes an unmistakable old-school charm, a quality that undoubtedly constitutes its allure. They've got every weight machine under the sun, including some that'll have you scratching your head like, 'What even is that?’. Welded dumbbells maxing out at 155, Hammer Strength machines stretching into the horizon, cable/pulley machines in all shapes and sizes – you name it, they've got it. Mandrill's stands as a veritable treasure trove for weightlifting enthusiasts of any experience level.Martin, the owner, is super friendly and as welcoming as your grandma's kitchen. His passion for bodybuilding and keeping that 'old school' vibe alive might not click with everyone, but for those that appreciate it, it’s what makes this place special.

The best old school gym I have been in a while. Great variety of equipment, rare equipment that is better than modern weight lifting machines. Definitely coming back.

$10 walk-in day pass. This is the realistic gym in Santa Fe. I'd take a workout here over any corporate gym any day.

I first joined Mandrill's Gym when I moved to Santa Fe in the 1990's--I trained here from 1992-1999. The owner, Martin, is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, and his spacious, immaculately clean, very comfortably air conditioned and well organized gym is packed wall to wall with the best assortment of free weights, state of the art machines and multiple rows of cardio equipment to be found anywhere. You can most definitely get in a serious, multi-modal workout in here. The Men's locker room boasts walls of lockers and showers that are always spotless--can't beat that. I'm back here in Santa Fe again, July 2023, and speaking from the perspective of a former ACSM certified trainer who's worked out and trained clients all over, from LA to Austin to Miami and many points in between, this in my view is absolutely the best serious free weight/bodybuilding gym you'll find between West Texas and Phoenix. Add to all the above the friendly gym crowd and the seriously good-guy owner, and Mandrill's Gym is a win-win scenario for anybody looking to fine tune their physique with a huge array of equipment at the ready to help them make that a reality. It's hands down one of my favorite gyms from coast to coast. FOR REAL.

Guest visit Thursday 6/15/23 at 11:20 Day pass 10$ My first gut reaction when I walked in this gym was jealousy. This gym is so hella old school, I need more of this in my life. Has dim lights and brightly painted walls. Exposed steel beams 15 feet overhead. Even the 10$ day pass is old school and feels welcoming. (The 20$ fees at new places feels like a money grab from golds and 24 and literally everywhere. No community feel, only feels like a big corporation.) You will not confuse this gym with an LA fitness, but if you want to throw out comparisons to sterns in San Diego or quads (but more moderate in size) in Chicago that would be appropriate. Has everything to get the job done. Free WiFi About 30 pieces of cardio. Has a small locker room, with showers (Two) full sets of dumbbells up to 155lbs Hammer strength plate loaders, not just row and press, but full sets for legs too. Plate loaders are also posted up in front of mirrors Flex fitness machines/cables

They open at 5:30 which is awesome for early risers. They have a ton of equipment for everyone from power weight lifters to those just working on cardio. Their prices are nice as they don't require a membership and you can get a day pass for ten bucks, which is great for visitors to the city who don't want to break up their workout routines. I will definitely be back when I'm in town visiting my folks.
