Another 5 star review for a business in Palm Springs! I am not a push over, really, I am not, but everybody in this town is so darned nice...I think it wore off on me. This Basic gym, is just that, no frills, but everything you need in a space as big as a couple of parking spots. It was very clean and the machines were well maintained and cleverly spaced and arranged for maximum efficiency. Ten bucks for a day pass is very reasonable and free towel service too! Like I mentioned before, the counterperson at the Basic Gym was a gem. Friendly but not pushy or clingy. If you are looking for a place to work-up a sweat where you can actually concentrate on your workout instead of what you are wearing or whom is watching then this is the place for you. Also, they advertise that all are welcome and they meant it. The diversity of the members also gave me a good feeling about the place. read more

The description under "Specialties" specifically say Day passes. This is not true. I walked in and was politey told that this was not the case. The lady I spoke with was nice enough to make a recommendation to where day passes may be available. But, I was somewhat irked that they falsely advertised the availability of a day pass and I just felt my time was wasted making the trip to their facility. read more

The Basic Gym - Description of available services include "Day passes". This is not true. - Cycling Classes Near Me - Palm Springs, California

I can't really rate this place fairly. But they do not sell day passes as listed on Yelp. It's personal training only as the nice lady at the door told me today. Worlds gym is $22 a day and fitness edge also sells day passes. read more

This is not a gym but rather an experience in getting healthy. The trainers Vern and Katie know their business they are both excellent in their training methods. I have been to other gyms and if your into lifting weights or doing dead lifts and bunch of pull ups in 60seconds this is not the gym for you. If you want to get fit and loose that body fat, get healthy and look good then I suggest you train with one of the owners because they will change your life. read more

Wasn't going to post this but when I arrived in town 2 months ago and walked in asking about a Silver Sneakers acceptance ( which was posted on website ), I was treated like an inferior person. Never in this town have I been treated like that. Glad all your other reviews are good but you suck! read more

Gotta love The Basic Gym. Greg set me up for my week-long stay in Palm Springs. The name should make walking in to the place no surprise--don't expect any bells and whistles. Some dumbbells, a smith machine and a cable station, that's it. Probably not enough for the serious bodybuilders (dumbbells only go up to 60lbs) but it kept me moving. That being said, it was inexpensive, super clean and very friendly. read more

A great gym, quality machines and equipment without the crowds and hassle of those big box gyms. The personalized sessions make me feel like I'm getting the most out of my time, and the results to show for the work. I would highly recommend this gym, by design the gym is never crowded nor will you ever feel rushed out of the gym. Vernon and his wife provide an outstanding facility to help you achieve your desired results....at whatever level that may be. read more

Dropped by the basic gym today for the first time and was lucky enough to take one of Katie's Indoor Cycle Classes ..WOW!! Great POSITIVE energy. Great transitions and what a sweat. You Rock!!! Double Thumbs Up!!! Pilar read more

I should have written this review long ago. I was there in May. What a great gym while you are out of town. The owners are such nice people. They are willing to help with any questions you have. The gym is compact but very well equipped with anything and everything you need for a work out. The price was inexpensive. The facility was clean and well ordered the owners and trainers make you feel welcome without hesitation. read more

Friendly and welcoming to all especially over 50 who need to stay healthy. The owners are both excellent trainers who customize workouts for their mature clients at reasonable rates. Love this place! read more

The Basic Gym is an awesome place to finally get into shape. This gym is like no other, it has the basics to get you moving towards a better you! The owners are amazing and their advice and extra attention to detail is noticeable. This is not EOS nor is it WORLDS GYM.... it's a community of all ages working out ... you rarely see cell phones , lab tops, or selfie sticks being brought out as you work out . But what you will see is people trying to look their best in a perfect setting that works for them. read more

This gym was exactly what I needed on a vacation in a hotel with no gym! The staff were all very friendly and it had all the equipment one would need for a solid workout. At $10 for a drop-in, you can't go wrong with this little gem. Plus they don't guarantee flashy, it's in their name after all :) read more

The Basic Gym is a great, pleasant, no-nonsense gym. During my three-month stay in Palm Springs, I went to the gym about twice per week, so I have no shortage of experience to comment. There is all the cardio and weight equipment you could need: treadmills, Olympic bench, Smith Machine, dumbbells, lat bar, etc. Everything is in good working order and the place is spotless. Jennifer and Amanda are absolutely great. No, this is not a place for hook-ups or juice-box muscleheads. It's low-key and friendly. Quite often there are only one or two others working out at a given time. The folks who I met there some of the nicest people around. There are often good conversations going on reminiscent of a corner barber shop. If you are looking for an excuse not to work-out while you are traveling, the price is not going to be one. It's $10 for a one-day drop-in, $45 for a month. There were several gyms closer to where I was staying, but I went out of my way to come to the Basic Gym. Whether you live in PS, or are just visiting, this is your workout place. read more

This is a great place. I wasn't in the mood for a contract or giving up my account info just to have a nightmare should I switch gyms. This is perfect for those looking for contract-free or short term solutions. The owners are nice, always helpful, and it is a great place to get a workout. I love the simplicity of going in and getting it done. I'm glad I joined. It may be small by comparison to other gyms, but they make it work. read more

This was the great place to work out while I was in town for the week....the $40, 5 day pass was perfect. Vernon also helped me with my squat form no charge. Great little gym with super friendly owners.....low key but still motivating. Highly recommended. read more

This is a great place for anyone who is serious about focusing on their workout... the owners are friendly, the everything is clean, free towel service, and the staff is usually first to greet you... I just started in the mornings there and I have already seen wide range of fitness levels. The best part is that there isn't an air of judgement, just support. Multiple rates available, including a day pass!!! Definitely worth a visit.. :) read more

This gym is okay for a 1 time workout. You have to be very imaginative with how to work out with what equipment there is. I combined a Chest/arm - Back/Shoulder workout. I would recommend to also combine legs to make it worth the $10 one time workout fee. Avoid this place Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 8 am to 9 am as there is a class of 20 or so seniors who take over the small gym to do circuit workout. If you are a very serious weightlifter with heavy weights in mind, this is not the place as dumb bells only go up to 60 pounds. read more

My wife and I were in Palm Springs for 2 weeks attending the Film Festival. I exercise on a regular basis and I searched online for a place to workout on a daily basis. "The Basic Gym" was in the area and it was perfect for me. The cardio equipment was well maintained and there was more than enough free weights, dumbbells and weight equipment for a complete and total workout. The owners (J. and A.) were super friendly; parking was available; everything was clean; towels were provided and the friendliness of the members combined to make this a terrific experience. In summary, I heartily recommend "The Basic Gym". read more

This is the gym I didn't think existed: clean, friendly, relaxed, and definitely NOT a scene. Katie and Vern, the owners/trainers, are skilled and kind and ethical.After years of disappointing experiences at other local places, I have finally found my gym! Thanks, Katie and Vern! read more

I read some reviews a couple of days ago, so when I got to Palm Springs and I saw the sign I immediately stopped and went to see what everybody is raving about. It turns out I am going to rave about it too! If you need to work out in a nice and friendly environment this is your place. Vernon and Katie, the owners, are so nice and personable that I felt at home immediately. They offered me coffee, the use of their fridge, and then I saw Katie work with an elderly lady (I am a Geriatric Nurse) and I really was taken by this place that is no-frills just work out! I set myself up for the three days I am here in town, and I am very happy! Thank you guys!!!! read more

Don't let the name fool you! "Basic" does not mean "ordinary" or "boring!" This is a little jewel of a gym tucked away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Palm Springs. The space is small, but very efficiently organized with at least one of everything you need to get in a great workout. Family owned and operated, this place attracts a down to earth membership and has a warm and welcoming vibe. If you are looking for a great place to get an even better workout check this place out. You will find everything you need from spin class, TRX, free weights, machines, treadmills, the works. Basically, the Basic Gym is your workout solution. Try a day pass and I bet you join on the way out just like I did! read more

I'm from austin just visiting. . And had a hankering for a work out! So stopped in for a one day work out.. the ( who I believe was the owner) was more than courteous! It is a no frills basic gym and that's what I like about it! If I lived here I would definitely be a member! BTW. . Really like yall town! read more

One of the best gym experiences I've had, and highly recommended if you're looking for a friendly, clean and well-organized gym space. The owners, Vernon and Katie, go out of their way to make you feel like family. I've had a lot of personal training over the years, but have to say that Vernon was most knowledgeable, and so willing to share his knowledge in a detailed way, plus he made it fun... laughter is good exercise too, right? Great place! And nothing 'basic' about the Basic Gym. I recommend! read more

This is the best gym I have ever been to bar none. I was overweight and though over years I had tried, could never get into exercising in a gym. This year I reached a point where I knew I had to do something to improve my fitness and joined the Basic Gym. I've been training with Katie for four months, have lost close to twenty pounds, feel twenty years healthier and cannot thank her and Vern enough for what they have helped me achieve. I have worked with other trainers and Katie and Vern are, quite simply, superb. Everything other reviewers have said about these facilities and these people is correct. The Basic Gym is a jewel and Katie and Vern are stars! read more

I'd joined Basic Gym last year for a trial membership. This gym is no frills but had plenty of equipment for my needs. Never was it so busy that it felt crowded, and Greg was a great guy. Unfortunately, I got offered what I thought was a great deal on a Gold's membership and Gold's hours seemed more workable. What a horrible mistake! I should have stayed with Basic Gym. I'm currently dealing with a physical issue but as soon as that is over, I'll be rejoining Basic Gym. read more

This a great gym. I have been working out here for almost a year now. Has all you need. The couple that owns it are very nice and are personal trainers. If you are looking for a great place to get your work outs in or need a trainer, you should check the place out. They also have day passes. =) read more

Great little gym. Perfect for a quick workout. Not everything you might want but enough to get the job done and more. The owner is not only nice and friendly, he actually is a knowledgeable personal trainer willing to dish out free help and advice. Best thing is that it's all so relaxed, the perfect 'vacation' gym. read more

This is the best gym I have ever belonged to. Best trainers, Vernon and Katie. Small ,intimate, never a hassle. Friendly place to come and unwind. Never could understand why working out was so stressful until I found Basic Gym read more
