This is one of the best gyms I have ever been to. All the equipment you could ever want, and the owners are just wonderful people. What a great place to train. Check it out!

Might be the first gym I've ever been to that actually had the equipment bolted to the ground. Four squat racks, five standard bench setups, six deadlift platforms, two lat pulldowns, even two hip thrust machines. Mix of cable-based and plate-loaded machines so you can do whichever you prefer. Chalk not provided, but permitted. Plus, the place is so spacious, even at its busiest I never feel crowded.... And that was before they took over the next unit to be the cardio room!

Fantastic gym. Visiting Akron for Christmas and was surprised by this gem - has everything you need for powerlifting, bodybuilding, conditioning and everything in between. Staff was friendly and space was very clean. Equipment was well maintained. For $15/day and $30/week it’s a great deal. They also offered recovery services (plunge, etc) for an additional $12/day. I will definitely be back!

Great place to work out. Not too crowded. Tons of great equipment from general fitness to strongman. People are friendly and the place is clean. The front desk help don't just sit there and talk like other gyms. They are always cleaning!!!!!

One of the best gyms I have ever used in my life (I’ve been to a lot). Been a member for nearly two years. New and well serviced equipment for all styles of lifting, great and clean facilities. Owners are professional, welcoming and helpful. This gym has an amazing community attached to it and I recommend Welcome to The Pit to anyone in their fitness journey, beginner to professional!

Good gym with a good variety of equipment. From general fitness to bodybuilding to powerlifting it got you covered. Place is clean and well taken care of. Owners of the gym are there quite often and put a lot of love into it and care about their customers.

This gym has everything that anyone could need: power lifting room, strong man training equipment, cardio machines, multiple squat racks and power lifting platforms, multiple benches for every body type, punching bags (boxing, speed bag, pendulum, and muay thai banana bag). It's the cleanest, freshest smelling gym I've ever attended. Staff is excellent. Highly recommended.

AWESOME gym that has a lil bit (or a lotta bit in some cases) of everything you need! Definitely a bit more geared toward powerlifting/experienced lifters, BUT plenty of options and space for anyone learning or looking for a more casual workout as well. Great mix of strongman, powerlifting, and cardio-based equipment/space. Wish there was little more adjustable-bench availability when it's busy, but overall this place is top-notch! Plus, true 24/7 with app access is elite.

I started going here a few weeks ago since I needed a new gym after I graduated college. I love that its open 24/7, and I haven’t had any issues with the software used to get into the gym/to sign up. They have all the equipment I need, and the gym is big enough so you don’t feel like you are on top of everyone else. Other members who go here are friendly, and its a great environment.
