😐 Was a good gym before a powerhouse down the street closed. Now the gym is over sold. No room to do anything and it’s always busy. No parking and whatever equipment you want to use is being used. Maybe they might go back to being open 23hrs a day and that might help with the overcrowding they definit... People often mention equipment,

    Was a good gym before a powerhouse down the street closed. Now the gym is over sold. No room to do anything and it’s always busy. No parking and whatever equipment you want to use is being used. Maybe they might go back to being open 23hrs a day and that might help with the overcrowding they definitely have the money for it with the new business as well as the need . Talked with a few regulars we are Giving it a month or so and if its still packed we will have to unwillingly change gyms.

    This is a real gym. I haven't been here in a few years but I'm 6 months. I went from flubby to amazing shape. The layout is perfect and has everything you want and more

    Excellent gym with plenty of weight equipment. Dumbbell sets up to 200 lbs and real iron weights throughout. Was in here early on a weekend and it was not crowded but could see it getting packed during peak hours. Looking forward to my next visit to family in the area to workout here again.

    I paid $300 cash full price for 1 year membership , Only went to the gym one time, asked for refund since the gym supposed to close after pandemic, the manager said no. I was a knew customer. That gym have great equipment. It's my lost.

    I love the atmosphere that feels permanently stuck in the late 80s early 90s. Some people may feel intimidated by all the serious weightlifting people that frequent at all times of the day but I've never had an unpleasant experience with anyone in my two+ years as a member and I'm very upset that I can no longer continue to attend with my new job in a different city

    FANTASTIC! Thanks to Derrick, Zach, and Rudy for making this place so welcoming. One of the best gyms we have been to. I wish I was local so I could go here everyday. Tons of equipment, ample space, and the atmosphere allows you to put your head down and get it done! Whether you are a beginner or have been working out for years, I highly recommend trying out Oakwood Gym.

    The best hardcore gym in the area, The weights feel true and not like other gyms where a 45lb plate weighs less then 45 lol. The vibe from the people are amazing, everyone is so friendly to each other, different from the commercial gyms ive been going to. They recently added a sauna and bro its so nice.

    By far best gym around! Always clean, actually enforces gym rules and very accommodating hours of operation. Definitely recommend if you have not already tried.

    I like this gym alot. Closest thing to a powerhouse in my opinion, but yet it can accommodate the normal gym dwellers and not only the big lifters. Everyone is pretty friendly, easy to talk to, and just there to get their workouts in.

    I finally found a gym I love ,first of all there are more than enough equipment, which means no more waiting, hours are great ,the best thing I like about it,was it's not your typical celebrity gym.if you don't know what I mean is that it doesn't have narcissistic people and tripods all over the place for someone who wants their 15 minutes of fame, which means everyone here is friendly, respectful,and focused on their training.old school style gym ,not those typical gyms that end with fitness . If you don't believe stop by there and check it out yourselves,in the end you will determine what is best for you.
