Absolutely love this gym. Love the updated feel of everything but still the old school type of vibe to it! Very good bodybuilding and powerlifting gym!

I love Flex! It’s the only gym I have ever felt totally comfortable in compared to franchised gyms. Its not an overwhelming space and Tom is very welcoming. If I don’t know how to use equipment staff is usually available to help. Highly recommend.

As a member of this organization for the last 20 years, it has faithfully served all my exercise needs (and all their various themes) completely, and with care and support.

Tom has done a great job of improving equipment and range of facilities as well as customer service and attention to members

Knockout's been around for years and they never stop improving. Staff is welcoming to EVERYONE, facilities are clean and well kept. I keep joining/leaving as my schedule changes, and I never hesitate to go back. Great spot - shop local!

Friendly staff, always clean, patrons are generally respectful and non-judgemental. Lots of serious gym goers but also a mix of people who are casual or just starting to try to get in better shape. Very convenient location and the monthly fee is reasonable. No frills but that's perfect, I don't need a tanning bed.

I live around the corner, and have been going here or years. It's not the nicest gym and it doesn't have the newest equipment but those things don't matter to me. It has everything you need and its not busy the mornings.

Everything you need to get a great workout in. Doesn’t smell. Clean environment. Family atmosphere with nice employees.

Knockout Fitness is my go to place for a good workout. They always have equipment readily available and it is never crowded! This location is always clean and very welcoming. Go see Adam if you're serious about starting a membership!

I cancelled when I left my trainer months before the covid shut down. They continued to bill me. They didn’t process my paperwork. I went in to cancel again in person and said i understand But if I could get a few months of my 1.5 years back I’d appreciate it. The counter guy said that’s out of my hands and he’ll put my cancel through. He was also going to charge me another month but he’s try to stop it but no promises. Be careful. Very shady service and practices.

It is a decant gym but I moved out of town, hours away, and it took forever to simply end my membership. They forced me to come in person to cancel. In the mean time they kept charging me. When I finally was able to make it to Rochester in person they still charged my account again. Be careful.

I had a very nice experience at Knockout Fitness, its professional environment was pleasant and made me feel comfortable with working out at my own pace without feeling intimidated!

I had to move away to Austin TX for work. I'd like to share my experience about my favorite gym of 2yrs that I miss dearly.

For the price, this gym was unbeatable. Sure, the barbells may be old and the iron may be rusting a bit, but it works. Ask yourself, does it really matter? Weight is weight. Add another plate. There's tons of freeweights available in here, dozens of cardio machines, and almost every piece of lifting equipment you could ever want.

Will you have to wait for a squat rack or bench on weekdays at 5pm? Definitely, but you'll always be able to work the muscle group you want to if you can't wait by moving towards the machines.

The people in here will leave you alone and help when needed. I've had moments where I had to bail from a heavy bench press and there's always someone in the freeweight area who will help spot you when you need it most. The strongest guys here are also the kindest and ego-free dudes in the gym.

You'll get a good mix of average joes and monster lifters in here. I think I've only met one annoying guy who approached me thinking I didn't know what I was doing, and I think he was a guest. There's a few ego-lifters and newbies in here, but you can tune it out mostly. People are quick to guide the newbies slamming weights and putting themselves (and others) at risk, but otherwise, you'll be left alone. Just know that someone will approach you if you're doing something horribly wrong.

You'll probably have to clean off some sweat from equipment every now and then. The rules aren't always followed. The bathrooms were sometimes dirty in the later parts of the day, but just wash your hands. The music selection was eclectic, and TBH great for a gym playlist if you forgot your headphones. Lots of high-energy songs ranging from pop to metal.

Women here are frequently found lifting heavy. From the conversations I've had with women at this gym in the freeweight area, they've said they are mostly left alone unless they actively seek out help from someone. If guys are staring at women, most of the time it's because they're lifting heavier weight than those guys.

You may ask yourself, "why give 5-stars with so many problems? " All I can tell you is that you couldn't find a better-value gym in the entire state for $10 a month.

I grew a lot at this gym. I went from lifting 225-dead, 135 bench, and 185 squat as a novice to lifting 385-dead, 205-bench, and 285-squat within the two years I spent lifting here. Nowadays I'm lifting heavier, but I attribute that to finding a good personal trainer who corrected my form & strengthened my hamstrings. This gym provides you all that you need to get stronger as long as you put in the work.

This is a great gym, run by great people. Always clean, complete with all the equipment most people look for in a gym. This place has a great vibe and everyone I know who belongs here loves it. Highly recommend.
