The manager Gary is a super cool dude who will usually hook you up (even after hours) if you tell him you're here for the show. They have enough equipment to get all the angles and muscle groups and it's super clean. Gary has done a great job remodeling the place and all the equipment is well maintained. There are bathrooms and showers. There's a ton of mirrors and room for mobility work and/or posing. I am usually not one for commercial gyms but the next time I'm in town this will be my go to spot!

I joined the Auburn MA location originally, and when those owners opened up this Shrewsbury St…read morelocation several years ago, I began going here instead. The gym has always been great, and exceeded my expectations. When Gary took over, things only got better. The gym has constantly been improving, including additional racks and a whole new space geared towards functional training. While I would like to see a hack squat machine, and some kind of hammer press for incline chest, I really can't make a legitimate complaint. Yes, Planet Fitness and the like are cheaper, but they are more crowded, no where near as clean, and doesn't have your personal fitness goals in mind. Take the time to check it out, you will see the difference.

Another annoying occurrence is that it takes weeks/if not months for something to be fixed (example the sensors in the sauna) There is a group of older gentlemen who continuously talk about the saunas/stream baths in their original country of origin. They continuously mess around with the heat sensors at the YMCA claiming the sauna here isn't "hot enough" as it is in their country of origin. They in turn mess up the sauna and put it out of commission for weeks/if not months.

I would gladly move all the way to Worcester just to get a membership at Uncaged Fitness.

It's rare to find an old school powerlifting gym in Massachusetts with an amazing atmosphere,…read moreawesome people, and loud music. If you're looking for a great place to lift heavy, train hard, and hang out with beer loving people, this is it. Tony and Greg are very knowledgeable when it comes to training, beer, and heavy music. I've been coached by Tony to get me to nationals, and the amount of progress I've made is more than in my entire two and a half years of competitive lifting. If I trained at The Strength House for the entirety of this cycle, I'm certain my progress would be so much more, just due to the environment and atmosphere. Bottom line, if you're looking to train at the best gym with the best people, give The Strength House a visit. I guarantee you won't be disappointed

I cannot imagine who would find this "gym" appealing except a high school boy looking to buy steroids, although there was one woman who seemed to be the one selling them. Ladies, do you enjoy being ogled by sickly-complected 17-year olds who run 0.3 miles on the treadmill at an all-out pace in a hoodie, WITH the hood up? How about a 23-year old bro wearing seven pounds of hair gel and a tanktop comprised of four strings? Then by God it's your lucky day, as the exclusive demographics of this joint appear to be Really Weird Dudes. Further observations: The music is bad (not normal-bad, you-have-to-try bad), and it is deafening. Blaring Queen on my noise-cancelling headphones failed to drown it out. The lighting is...red. The locker rooms are small and dirty. The ambiance screams Ringworm. The temperature is hardly cooler than the outside (it's called a dehumidifier, friends). On the treadmill I used, half the buttons were straight-up broken and the belt was loose, and it crapped out after 30 minutes. I did not stay to use the weight machines, which were crammed together like tinned sardines, as the urge to escape became, well, inescapable. In summary: I'm genuinely impressed that I managed to move this close to The Worst Gym in the World. Like, what are the chances. Anyway, if you're looking for a stuffy, creepy Exercise Dungeon as imagined by an especially dim middle schooler, check Impact out!!!

My slight pet peeve is that the plates aren't the same brand throughout. I see a few different types of the same weight. Crunch also has a tire for working out, which I wish more gyms had! Staff was very nice and I saw them actively refilling cleaning products and such. The parking spot is quite small (at least the one right in front of it), but I'm not from the area, so not sure if there's more space.

The negatives are 1) the showers often don't have hot water. There's a problem with the water heater that has gone on for months. This is a major problem if you plan to go somewhere else after the gym. 2) It looks run down - a) Torn carpet in the women's locker room that needs replacing. b) There's a light fixture in one of the showers that has been broken for months and needs replacing. The gym can smell funky from time to time and could do with a good clean.
