As the first poster wrote, Strong Inc is still the spot for committed lifters in the Tuscaloosa…read morearea. They've got a full range of free weights and machines, including a pair of power racks and some equipment hard to find at other gyms. The belt squat machine is popular and not standard equipment in regular gyms. The hip extension for glutes is the same. Some cardio equipment (treadmills, stationary bikes, and rowing machines) round the place out. Two dedicated deadlifting stations are super convenient. You can't deadlift at every gym in town and, when you can (like at the Y), you've got to take some time to set the gear up. If you make some jurassic noises at Strong Inc, that's ok. You're not going to get thrown out (I'm looking at you, PF). The vibe is chill and friendly. People at most ranges of skill are there. The folks are focused on their workout, but without an attitude. Bryant, the owner, is super friendly. The drive up there is a mile or two further than some places but 100% worth it. Folks who discover Strong Inc. usually never leave.

I was only a member here for 3 months before I moved, but this place was perfect. I hesitate to…read moreleave a review because it's such a hidden gem. It was such a treat to be able to work out at a gym for serious lifters only. The equipment and environment is geared most toward powerlifting, but as someone who does strictly bodybuilding-style training it worked out perfectly for me. They have plenty of dumbbells (I love that they have two pairs of many of the higher lb sets) and some great machines. It for sure is mostly men but it's nice to have the women's bathroom/ locker room always empty lol. Craig is so nice and the environment was super welcoming when I signed up. There are 6 squat racks which is for real crazy privilege for such a small gym. My only complaints are that- the smith machine doesn't go low enough, and the hip thrust machine is really not great (would be better if it were a glute drive). Highly recommend

Love this gym so far. It has a good community and it is affordable. The HIIT classes with Stephanie…read moreand Kyle are my favorite. I previously was an OTF member but classes were not as challenging and coaches never pushed you. At the Grind, you'll have coaches that are passionate about proper form and working muscles groups to fatigue. I have not trained like this since college. Additionally, the body scan is very in depth and can help you with your fitness goals. I'm also being personally trained by Kyle. He is certified in many areas of physical training and has his own app to track your macros, fitness workouts, etc. This gym is amazing and has a fair price. People here are of all ages and it is diverse. My only grievance is I want more HIIT classes times. However, they offer booty band classes by Leslie a former body builder and boxing classes by Carlos! Shout out to Kyle and Stephanie who are my favorite coaches to see! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEIR SERVICES!

They have a good combination of free weights, Hammer strength, machines, and cables. The cardio area is made up mostly of ellipticals and treadmills, but it does have a few bikes as well. Also, each cardio machine comes with an individual HD tv with cable programming and an ipod dock. Various weighted medicine balls, kettle bells, and a climbing wall. PERKS: Free tanning, massage chair, and free premium coffee! Aerobics classes include zumba, cardio kickboxing, and martial arts classes.

PF is really chill and inviting, from the low (LOW) cost for membership, to the color scheme and TV's, to the friendly staff. Most people go to the gym in the evening, 5 pm to about 8:30 so there is a big surge of people around that time. Otherwise, they aren't ever excessively crowded. I have personally never gone then because I don't like crowds. I like going in the late evening/night so I don't like that it's close weekend nights, but I go early morning too. Best times to go, imo. The showers/restrooms and locker room are pretty decent. They've always been clean and stocked when I go. Since the gym is pretty casual, people tend to stand around, talk or be on the phone or something on or around equipment that could otherwise be used by someone else. Some people don't cleanup/wipedown after themselves, and be prepared to find used paper towels and Tootsie roll wrappers on the floor, behind equipment, and in bottle holders.
