I used to drive by this gym all the time and wondered what it was like inside. I initially went here because i had plateaued in my training and i wanted to try my first personal trainer. So I joined this gym and they immediately linked me up with the best trainer in the world. This gym has everything. No nonsense gym. Great staff and amazing shakes for after your workout. Within this gym is also a full nutrition center, Apollon Nutrition. This gym also hosts cool gatherings with body builders and power lifters. If you want a no nonsense gym, this is your spot. It isnt some fairy commercial gym. There is no doubt that members of this gym are family. Also has showers and lockers, big plus.

I was welcomed into Apollon Gym back in 2013. It is a gym dedicated to those serious about training and it has had many pro-athletes call Apollon their home base for training. Im glad I joined and I couldnt imagine training elsewhere.

If your decison on what gym to join is based on how fancy it is or how many amenities it has (pool, basketball court, etc.) then look away. If you actually want to make a change in your appearance then you hit the jackpot. Very serious environment, properly working equipment, and a courteous staff!

I am so glad I found this gym! Its a very old school gym that is equipped with machines that you cannot find at a lot of other gyms (which is exactly what I was looking for). The monthly rate is affordable and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The members are also very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend!

Old school is a great way to look at this place, the environment is intense, but everyone here becomes family. With so much knowledge and experience to go around, no matter what it is you strive to do in fitness this place will help you grow in a way you never thought was possible prior to joining.

Apollon is One if Americas top 10 hardcore gyms for a reason - its f***ing HARDCORE! Everyone in the gym is serious about their goals and that level of commitment is contagious. The staff and even other members are extremely helpful. If you have questions, dont be intimidated by the 300 pound guy squatting 1,000lbs! Chances are that he is the sweetest and strongest guy youll ever have the pleasure to work with.

Coolest place Ive trained at even though I had to move and am no longer a member. Great atmosphere for serious training. Most people here actually train for strength and athletic performance. Owners/staff are also into serious training.Has a wide variety of machines if thats your thing, even though they are mostly old machines they do the job better than most modern machines found in newer gyms.Plenty of power racks and barbells for strength work, along with many specialized equipment for strength training. Chalk is allowed.Biggest negative is that the place is small and crammed with machines and equipment. Barely any free space left in there. oh and cardio equipment is fairly limited compared to larger gyms.

This is a great one of a kind hardcore gym. You will find powerlifters and bodybuilders here. While its specialized, the gym is friendly and open to everyone.If you are completely new to either, there are award winning personal trainers to help you start.

Apollon Gym is an absolutely awesome gym for bodybuilders and powerlifters, and also for just about anyone looking to get in shape. With 5 squat racks, dumbbells up to 150, and well-maintained Hammer Strength machines, I waited for a piece of equipment maybe twice in 6 years. I have seen elite level strength athletes and moms looking for some casual exercise work out here in the friendly atmosphere, and I have seen trainers working with clients from all parts of the fitness spectrum.

This gym is perfect for anyone at any level of fitness to come in and workout in a no pressure, supportive atmosphere. There are people of all shapes and sizes who have a variety of strength/fitness goals and needs, and no one is ever made to feel unwelcome.The staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly creating what always feels like a family atmosphere. The training offered is top notch. If you have serious health/fitness goals you cant beat this gym. Its really the one thing everyone who works out here has in common, regardless of ability everyone is there to workout in a serious and productive way. This is not to imply that there is no socialization, just that it is second to the workout unlike all of the big chain gyms.I would recommend this gym to anyone who wants to work out in a supportive and encouraging environment.

I absolutely love this gym, feels like home to me. The staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk too. Always willing to help whenever you need. Along with that everyone who goes there is super friendly and helpful, Ive not had one bad experience yet and Ive been attending for over a month. As a powerlifter, they have everything I need and more to train efficiently, multiple squat racks, bars, weights, machines. Theyre always playing either metal or rap, which is fantastic considering those are my two favorite types of music. Overall I love this place, and I recommend it to everyone, whether your a body builder, powerlifter, physique, or just an average person trying to get a good workout. Great environment for everyone!

I love lifting here!!! You walk in the energy hits you in the face instantly!! The ppl who lift here dont play games and are all serious....but serious enough to not judge or talk down on anyone...ive been coming here for over 2 years an have never seen, felt, or even heard of any body shaming. I can honestly say Ive never been to a gym like this and prob never will!!! But remember its a gym not a fitness club!!!

Review №36

The best gym in area. Period. Not because it has the flashiest commercials or anything like that. Its because of the atmosphere. Everywhere you look, there is constant motivation. People at every level and ability you can imagine are there, working hard to achieve whatever goals they have set for themselves. The staff are more knowledgeable and friendly than anywhere else you might find, and are always around to give some advice. Ive learned so much from them, as well as other members over the past few months. And to top it all off, they have their own line of supplements right there at the gym. Protein, aminos, pre-workouts... everything. Its become another home, and its existence has helped me be a better person mentally and physically. Cant ask for a better gym than this.

I was told years ago that this gym is so hardcore that Dorian Yates trains people there when hes in the area. So of course I had to go one day. I finally had the chance to do so and it was totally worth the drive. Its so hard to find a hardcore/specialty gym thats affordable has just about everything you need such as powerlifting styles benches and monolifts for squatting, as well as hard to find pieces of equipment such as th Hip Belt Squat Machine. If I lived closer to the place it would without a doubt be my main gym.

Many years ago I would pass by Apollon and never stepped foot in it because I was intimated. Why? Bevause I was tiny little girl wearing size 1 jeans and thought only monsters and beasts worked out here. Fast forward a few years and when I finally stepped foot in Apollon I figured out that it was far from that. You still have ur beasts and monsters that come here but you have a little bit of everything that work out here. I love it here because of that.. u will see your soccer mom working out with an ifbb pro or a new member asking questions about power lifting and no one hesitates to help them! This place is home. This place is family!

Its so hard to find specialty gyms that just happen to be affordable yet here you only have to pay JUST $30 and you have at your disposal a monolift, powerlifting style benches, specialty Deadlift bars AND a hip belt Squat machine - great for squaters with shoulder issues! If I lived close by THIS would be my main gym.

Im on the hunt for a new gym so stopped in for a tour. The one girl on duty just buzzed me in and let me roam around alone. The place is tiny. I could probably spit from one end to the other. The equipment is ANCIENT. Some of it even looks home made with sloppy welds and held together with clamps. Most of the dumbbells arent labeled and again, ANCIENT. So old that they are rusted over. Seriously. The floor of the gym is in pieces with some of the padding missing completely. The historic equipment is packed SO tightly together you can barely walk between them. I mean 2 inches between the equipment would be over stating it.Cardio??? 5 treadmills thrown randomly in a corner behind some other old equipment. and two elliptical that have seen much better days. I almost expected the cardio stuff to not even be powered it is so jammed into a corner. And finally, THE STENCH. Smells like a 20 year old gym locker room - because thats exactly what it is. I did get used to it by the time i left but why would i want to get used to the smell of other peoples crevices. FOWL. I went during peak hours and there were 4 people in there. FOUR! lol And the cherry on top? $30/mo for all this nostalgia. No thanks. Theres hardcore and then theres naaaasty and useless.
