I got a membership after going through some tough times and deciding to better myself and get into the gym and this place has been so much more than I could of ever hoped for. Not only have I been able to workout but other members have given me advice, talked with me about it and just have been supportive. Yeah the equipment and facility is awesome but the staff and people that go here are even better. They made me feel like I belonged and thats an awesome feeling when you are down. Highly recommend to anyone and thank you House of Pain for being my escape everyday.

Excellent gym and workout place. The place is clean, not too crowded and had array of equipments.

My youngest loves it. Cool spot with open air old school garage door ventilation and solid equipment. A real gym.

Ive been a HoP member for 1.5 years. The best thing about this gym is the atmosphere. People who want to lift, are respectful, and kind to one another. Ive never seen anything like it. There is enough equipment to go around, and a lot of great choices. Never have to wait for anything as there are always alternatives to choose from.My issues with this gym are with the cleanliness and orderliness. Upon walking through the parking lot youll see trash all over the ground and weeds. There is equipment and tarps laying around the side bay door. Cardio machines have a sweat film on the main part under the consoles where your feet would hit if you moved them too far up. The dumbbells are also consistently loose, and I know I can get the Alan wrench. But an employee can definitely do this maybe like twice a day, morning and evening. Organization has gotten better in the last couple months since the owner has made an appearance.

Just recently joined House of Pain, one of the best gyms Ive trained at, had a little problem joining at first, talked to Joe the owner by Email, he said no problem he would take care of it, he did, when I met him in person found him to be a great guy and very careing about his members, Im 72yrs old been training in different gyms for over 50yrs and found house of pain one of the best gyms Ive trained at, Ive been telling many of my friends about House Of Pain, THANK YOU JOE FOR WORKING WITH ME TO BE ABLE TO JOIN YOUR GYM

Wow! What a strength training facility! Everything you could want to get strong.

5 star gym. I love this gym

House of Pain is the best gym in the area. If youve never been here not only is the equipment exceptional, but youre also able to find like minded people there. If youre serious about your goals and want to be the absolute best you can be then this is the place for you. Also, management always does their best to keep the facility clean and help you the best they can.

Great gym with all the equipment you need to build yourself up and stay healthy. Makes me feel like a free American.

This is the best gym in stl. You won’t find better equipment and better people. This gym stayed open during the so called “pandemic” giving people who rely on the gym a space to workout. There is everything you could ever want in a gym.

Great gym! Not crowded and awesome equipment!

I love this gym. Amazing community and top tier equipment.

What a great hard-core gym with great equipment and a great owner.

Best gym I’ve ever been too.

I have never been to this gym; however, I have been searching for a place that can push me.I am writing this review because the sheepole who have commented negatively do not realize this is the land of the free. They are free to stay home if they are afraid.People quickly forget that their health is essential. This place is offering health essentials which IS prescribed regularly by the medical field. The argument is no longer what is essential. The medical facts do not align. Our FACTS simply don’t care about YOUR opinions.Unfortunately our local St Louis County government overreach goes against many of our freedoms. Including holding “inspection” permits against private apartment complexes to force them to not open their private pools for residents.The owner(s) of this place should be commended for standing up for their rights and freedoms. I willbe calling to see how I can get some help from them and support a local business.

I love the gym and the staff that was there to help me. Justin the manger is the most understanding person to my particular situation. these guys are there for all there members its one of the best gyms ive ever been to. Thank you again Justin if you end up seeing this!

Its a shame that a few cry babies wrote fake reviews. Love the House of Pain gyms! Try it out!

Amazing gym. The staff and the trainers are very helpful and very friendly. There is equipment here that you couldnt find at any other gym in Missouri. The owner, Joe, is the man. He makes a point to actually get to know everyone in the gym, as well as help them in any way he can. Hands down best gym around.

Fantastic place to lift and stays open during bs lockdowns. The county doesn’t get to decide if we can work out or not.

Amazing place with the best equipment, atmosphere, and (most importantly) people in the St. Louis area. The owner should be highly commended for standing up to what amounts to no less than an egregious abuse of power by the county. Thank you HOP family for doing the right thing!

Very friendly and helpful staff, amazing atmosphere and equipment. The gym is great but the people are what make this place. I hope to see one in the St. Peter’s area one day!

Thanks for wasting taxpayer dollars. You owe St Louis $29,000Response: Republican and NRA member and pharmacist.I get that you want to keep employees and feed your families. Others did too, but followed county rules and received small business loans through proper channels to do so with outmost safety. You chose to be the outlier and cost taxpayers a ton of money regardless of who chose what attorney to hire. We can all agree that the county doesnt make decisions in our best interest financially. I got your attention, would like to see some responsibility as your response at least.

Apparently, they dont care if people get sick, and potentially die. Their actions speak louder than their words.Update: Youre not clean enough. Are you cleaning the air in there? New air filtration systems? Anything besides comparing yourself to an actual essential business?

Havent felt so good mentally in weeks, so nice to get some stress relief. As a police officer, nothing has changed in my life as far as stress. I use working out as a metal health work out as much as physical. I cant thank this gym enough for being there for those of us that need this therapy in these times.

Great gym. They are standing up for what’s right.If you are afraid of getting sick and listen to everything the media tells you then stay home. Don’t make businesses suffer. This is a free country. You are free to stay home and people are free to go to an open gym if they want. Also the statistics show people under 60 have a 1 in 10,000 chance of dying if they get it. If you’re afraid of those odds you have worse things to worry about.

The countys orders are unlawful and defies all logic. This is pure politics and Scam Page just wants to retaliate against a business that dared to standup for their rights and the county is now using taxpayer money to seek revenge for their own personal vendetta. These lawless officials cant just arbitrarily shut down businesses and put people under house arrest. If youre so scared and paranoid, stay home until you feel safe. The rest of society will move on without you.

Clean Friendly staff and the best tips for work outs. I highly recommend this Great gym.

I have been going for about 3 weeks. I LOVE the high energy and encouragement from the trainers! Extremely fun way to get back into shape!

Great gym, friendly atmosphere. Amazing IF you’re serious about training.

Great gym. Great people who work and members. A lot of great minds helping anyone who is trying to reach their goals with fitness, health and well being.

If youre serious about lifting, especially bodybuilding, this place is your new home. The equipment is excellent and well maintained, a combination of state of the art and classic, old school equipment. Murals of bodybuilders and strongmen line the walls and music is blasting. The owner clearly cares deeply about the gym and every person who walks through the door. I truly cannot recommend this place highly enough.

This for serious bodybuilding... no BSA gym... simply love the atmosphere.... great gym...

Best gym to go to and get serious about lifting. Friendly ownership and staff. I always feel welcome at this gym.

Sick gym with wonderful people.

Awesome just straight up awesome

Why are you reopening during the pandemic? Quick being selfish.

Hands down the best gym in the midwest area. The equipment is some of the best I have ever seen and the trainers on their team are top notch and very welcoming to new members. If anyone is seriously looking to get real results for the fraction of the price of a commerical gym look no further.

I love this old school gym

This place is endangering the community by disregarding government regulations involving the stay at home order. They’re affecting every single person in the community with their reckless behavior.

Keep on providing for the people of STL!

The House of Pain is the BEST gym to inspire and motivate - hands down! The energy and vibe is ineffable, you have to experience for yourself to know. People of all fitness levels but everyone working hard on their goals! There are bodybuilders, powerlifters, strongmen - everyone from top athletes to people just beginning their journey. Incredible equipment, personal trainers, Krav Maga, Kickboxing, MMA, Thai Striking, Power and Yin Yoga and Boot camp classes and a Prime Wellness Center right next door. Its a one stop shop of inspiration, motivation and everything you need for your health and fitness! It has become my home away from home and the people like family. This is where its at!

Sued the county and wasted public $ over opening early in a pandemic. Enough said.....

Amazing atmosphere, great people, and awesome equipment!

F the county, stay at home order is for sheep

As soon as you walk in, you can feel the energy. The hard work, the sweat, the blood, the tears, and the passion. This isnt your ordinary gym. It is a school for learning. To overcome adversity and to become better. Joe, the owner, is an amazing and kind individual who has a passion for the sport of bodybuilding and will take time out of his day to welcome you and have a conversation. I wouldnt have had the chance to listen and learn from Tom Platz if it wasnt for this place. This is where you go if you want to be a part of a culture of willpower and discipline. Thank you Joe and the House of Pain for always welcoming me into your home. Your generosity has allowed me to not only help fuel my fire for bodybuilding but to learn more about myself in all aspects of life.

Despicable disregard for the health and safety of both employees and customers.

If you are tired of crowded gyms and people looking at phones, this is the gym that you should choose.

Great gym. Awesome staff!

Best gym in STL

It will hurt and you may even cry, but the transformation will be worth it!

Thank you!
