This is it, the gym that has something for everyone!Convenient location downtown, both on and off street parking, and very secure (member key fab required for entry, cameras in public areas, etc).Your first impression will be receiving a friendly greeting from their staff at the counter. When they arent helping welcome members in, they can be seen actively cleaning so everything is spotless from workout areas to the bathrooms and locker rooms.I dont know how many square feet the facility is, but the layout is great in that workout rooms are divided out so its not so open and intimidating as other big box gyms Ive been to.Whether you want to workout on your own, work with a personal trainer, try CrossFit, powerlifting, or even body building, they have you covered.It feels like a family environment to be greeted by name by the friendly staff. I enjoy feeling welcomed and not intimidated like other places Ive tried.Get down there and try out a free session. Or join them at one of their community events or competitions. We recently enjoyed their CASA fundraiser and loved seeing their small business give back to their community 🇺🇲

Absolutely love this gym! The gym is kept very clean and organized, and the staff is always very welcoming. Along with this, there are many different rooms within the gym suited to various needs (CrossFit, weight lifting, strongman etc.) Would highly recommend to anyone in the area :)

Went in for a sports massage with good results. If you want a real gym experience this is the place to go.

Great gym and super nice people! It’s a small, old school gym just the way I like it. Not a bunch of hoopla with all the bright colors and noise, it’s just people working out and doing their own thing getting stronger. They’ve got ALL the equipment and the best trainers in town! Even thought it’s downtown parking is great!

I’ve been going to Royal for going on 2 months now, working with Sammy Ibrahim. Sammy is an amazing trainer and person all together. Royal is the first gym I’ve gone to seriously, so I can’t speak toward other gyms, but I love it, and this will be the place I continue to get better at. Great staff, everybody is very friendly, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience.

Royal Barbell is the best gym Ive ever had the opportunity to be apart of! There is so much room to grow and become the best version of yourself within the gym!

Looking for a gym that feels like home and family? This place is just for you. Every single staff there is encouraging and incredible. I personally am doing personal training with Zak and Angela and those two are wonderful humans who push you to the limit in the best way. Being a plus-size lady I was shy and scared...as soon as I started (and before), I felt nothing but support.I cannot recommend them enough!

Definitely my favorite gym that I have been a member of. Better than any chain or even MSU’s Rec. Everyone here is motivated and it creates an environment where you want to improve as much as you can.

Its been a real nice place to work out. The people are nice too. My personal trainer is awesome👏✊👍.

The management & staff really care about their customers here. It’s like a community & everybody wants the best for each other there. They have all the equipment you need & more. They even have a garage you can open up on nice days & workout with fresh air.

The owner was really nice . This gym is so nice . Clean and has new equipment. Staff is nice and professional. This is the first gym Ive been to that the staff actually cleans so much . Royal Barbell Is the spot.

Ive been a member for a little over a month, and I already feel like part of a family. The entire team is amazing and well worth the cost (which is fairly inexpensive compared to other gyms). The equipment is old school equipment that has better movement and more accurate measure of strength, not the newer stuff that promotes ego lifting.The other great part about this gym is that it is a great melting pot of bodybuilders, power-lifters, cross fitters, strongman, and general fitness people. Everyone is supportive and friendly and it creates a great environment to work out in.

Such a great gym community! Friendly staff & members. Something for everyone - body building, power lifting, crossfit, classes. Lots of fun events too!

I love Royal Barbell!! I joined nearly a year ago and am a 56 year old female that has never gone to a gym.The owner and all of the employees are welcoming and so helpful and patient.The gym is clean and huge and has everything you could possibly need, whether you are working to get fit or really serious weight training.I am using a personal trainer and have never felt as strong or empowered.

I’ve only been a member for 24 hours-but I am digging it so far! In my gym search I was so nervous because I’m plus-size and I’ve never had a gym membership before. I went to 3 other places and was not happy. I decided to try Royal and walked in to a smiling Angela who showed us around, was friendly, and even showed me how to use the machines! There are a nice variety of folks here and they’ve all been friendly. No one stared at the fat girl sweating on the bike—phew. They’ve all been friendly to my kiddos too...that means a lot to this mama! Join and find your gym home. :)

Best gym in the 417 area. I have been going for over 3 years to the crossfit class. Great, knowledgeable coaches. Quality equipment. Clean areas. Lots of programs to choose for your fitness goals. Good prices. I just love this place!

You wont find a club more humble, community oriented, and motivating as Royal!When I started two months ago, I was extremely nervous because of my plus size and being so out of shape but the staff and even their regulars have made me feel so welcome. I owe a lot of my personal successes to the encouragement, motivation and commitment Ive received from Royal.If youre contemplating joining, sit down with Angela Highfield and just talk out your goals! I promise you will walk out of there feeling good about your decision to visit!

Love this gym! Great atmosphere. Tons of events! Devoted to developing athletes & growing the community!

Highly recommend! I tried out Royal Barbell 6 months ago and immediately felt welcomed. Awesome coaches! Everyone is encouraging, accommodating and very knowledgeable in their crafts of fitness; and there are a wide variety of things to do throughout the gym including CrossFit, weightlifting, and personal training. Not to mention, Paden and the Royal team are always supporting/promoting fundraisers for local charities!

Royal Barbell is my home gym and I highly Recommend them to everyone at any stage of their fitness journey.Their team ranges from recent college graduates to experienced competitors and coaches. No matter what kind of questions I have there is always someone willing and able to help me along the way!

The owner is present and committed. The atmosphere is comfortable for serious athletes but welcoming to beginners. The gym hosts a team of trainers who coach amazing athletes. Great place.

I just wanted to take the time to do show some appreciation for my personal trainer at Royal, Steven Woods. As an older and substantially over weight guy, I was hesitant to get back in the gym. I knew I needed a personal trainer for accountability, but my biggest hesitation was that I recently invested a lot of money (upfront for a year) with a local trainer who promised it all. To be blunt, without getting into the mud, it was a big, huge waste of money. (**Enter Steven**) This guy sent me more accountability texts in one week, than the other guy did for the entire contracted year! Btw...I had not informed Steven of my previous bad experience...the accountability he provided came from his own volition and desire to help me succeed. As I told him, this quality already places him above the great majority of trainers on the market....I know this from personal experience. But, in addition to that, he has added tons of value with his detailed knowledge of proper technique, nutritional advice, and his desire for feedback throughout the process. He embraces communication, and it cant be overstated how important this is in a relationship with a trainer. Get Steven to train you...you wont regret it! Royal Gym has been a great place to train, as well. Very friendly culture, both staff and patrons!

Royal is one of the top gyms here in Springfield. Theyve had everything Ive needed for powerlifting and strongman as well as checking the crossfit and bodybuilding boxes for those . The owner is often present and involved in their events, and the staff are helpful and friendly. Personally, Ive had a blast at their strongman competitions and am impressed with the amount and variety of competitions theyve had so far.

My coaches are dedicated to helping you reach your goals. Your experience and success with us is our number one priority. 5 star coaches!

Knowledgable and well experienced staff, plenty of space and equipment, clean facility, great prices, highly suggest this fitness center, such variety there is something for everyone!

This is THE place to be!!! At Royal Barbell Crossfit, it is undeniable that the coaches and the staff put the concern of their members and the facility FIRST. I have been training here for over a year and I havent once had to lower my expectations. Come on out to check Springfields premier fitness facility for yourself and bring your friends! First workout is free! See you there!

One of the best CrossFit’s in Springfield! I didn’t feel thrown into a class I wasn’t physically fit for. The Coach definitely scaled the WOD to fit me better. Also the membership comes with general access to the main gym area.

Those guys are awesome! Great cross fit class

Brought my passion back for the gym. The staff is super nice and helpful.

Im really glad I decided to check Royal Barbell out when I was looking for a place to workout! I wanted to increase my strength and conditioning but I knew I needed some help after being out of that scene for quite a while. Its only been a little over a month and Im already seeing a difference in my body and how I feel.I signed up for personal training and wasnt disappointed. Paden is super knowledgeable and detailed. What I really appreciate is that he knows how to work with me where Im at (i.e Im not an 18 yo dude!), hes patient but knows when to push me too. Im confident when I work out on my own now.Lastly, I love the atmosphere of the place. The staff is friendly and theres a wide range of people there so I felt like I fit right in.

I love this gym. I wished yall would get keyless entry so we can come at night. I know allot of people that workout there that go to other gyms at night because of this. However I dont want to go to another gym. Ive got the key fob which is just for check in. But since May we have been told hours were getting extended. From 4 am to 11pm which would be great. For guys and gals that work long hour like myself. Being an owner of a construction company I cant come during normal business hours.

If you’re looking for a new gym to join, then look no further. Royal is one the best facilities I’ve been in here in Springfield. They have anything and everything you need to help you train. Not only that but, the staff are all friendly and knowledgeable and will give you help or advice if needed. They have different types of styles of lifting there that will meet almost everyone’s needs, such as CrossFit, general fitness, and powerlifting. Have a powerlifting meet you need to train for but, don’t have a place to train. Now you do. Come down to Royal and they will treat you well.

* This review specifically focuses on the Crossfit side of Royal.Royal has been SO welcoming to me. Even though theyre not my main box, they are incredibly accepting of me as an adaptive athlete and encouraging. The coaches know their stuff, and are always willing to help problem solve. The community is invested in pushing you to your best, and they genuinely believe in striving towards their best.

Best local gym. The culture is great. Everyone is very nice, helpful, and works hard. The equipment and weights are perfect for any bodybuilder, power lifter, cross-fitter, or strongman. The hours are great, and the facilities are always clean. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Highly recommend!

Very welcoming for all experience levels

Pretty good gym all things considered. Only complaint I have is its been difficult to cancel. I stopped going mid last year at some point and I am still being charged. To be fair, the owner did reach out and try to do his best to resolve the problem but there appeared to be some confusion. Im assuming my trainer lied to the owner and thus I am still being charged.I typically dont write reviews, but after almost half a year of being charged with not even entering the gym once in all that time period, I feel like I should.Every business is going to screw things up sometimes, just wish it would have been handled differently and that I wouldnt have gotten charged this month.

Best gym I’ve been to!!

Love the fact that they have different rooms for different types of strength training. Everyone wants to be around like minded individuals so the rooms help. They also have all the equipment you could possibly need !

Love the staff! They are always so helpful with whatever I need!

Let me start off by saying 5 stars is not enough. I would have given them 7 out of 5, and here is why. The gym has different areas for different types of training. Which may not sound like a big thing, but it is. The music in the different areas fit the areas purpose. They have a crossfit area, a powerlifting area, and general fitness areas. The equipment in the areas is specific for the lifting type.I am only passing through, but this gym is on my top 5 gyms I have been to.Thank you

Made it extremely difficult to end my payments once my commitment was over, and, of course, I dont get a penny refunded because I went in person to discuss the situation rather than send an email, as stated in the contract. They may be local, but they will screw you over like a corporation.Response to the owner:How about you reiterate your only policy the first time your customers come in to end a commitment. I came in two months before my commitment ended in order to cancel, to which I was told that I would have to pay the remaining months and simply send an email stating I would like to cancel my renewal. It was quite obvious that I did not know the policy for cancellation. I was never told the specific time to send the email, nor was I warned that sending an email before the end of my commitment would fail to cancel it. Moreover, I did not receive a reply to the email I sent, advising me that I had sent the email at the wrong time. And I was not even advised by you to send another email when I came in to discuss the situation. I had to wait yet another month and pay yet another months fee before I learned that you had done nothing and my payments were never cancelled. A little more work on your part to make sure I understood the contract I signed months prior would have prevented this entire problem; however, I understand it is incredibly easier for you to simply say sorry, you signed a contract.

Wanted to sign up but no one is ever there in the mornings. Luckily, someone let me in the locked door and I decided to wait in the front lobby. I waited for 30 minutes and no one was able to help me.

This is what a gym should be. I found Strong Gym while traveling, and it was one of the best facilities I have been to. The facility was clean, staff was friendly, music was good, and most importantly the equipment was varied and functional. If youre looking for a great environment to exercise and train with people who achieve real results, this is the place to be.

A cool gym. Staff is helpful as well. No matter what type of training you are doing, they have equipment for it.

By far the best gym Ive ever been a member of. Being able to do isolation movements and crossfit whenever I want is a luxury no other gym offers!! Not to mention its comfortable to workout here. Id give it 10 Stars if you let me!

Its the best gym in town in my experience, if you are looking for a diverse range of training options. If you want a good social experience go in the evenings. The morning crowd is usually groggy and therefore not as friendly.

Great for power lifting. Lots of heavy equip

Great lifting atmosphere, has equipment and expertise for strong man, powerlifting and cross fit

Best ace in town to train. No drama or fashion show. Grunting is allowed and weights are slammed.

Good place to workout. Used to be powerlifting now more crossfit

I love the staff and the atmosphere. Im able to work out with joy. :)

-touches screen- I... I miss you...

Legit and fit.

Best gym experience in Springfield by far.

Are you ever staffed in mornings???
