Downing's Gym, Corvallis OR

Are consistently inconsistent when it comes to their hours they say they lock the doors at ten when they really lock at nine and the system they use for people to come in after hours is temperamental at best. They said that they would send me an email, that would lead me to an app, the day I signed up so I can use their “24/7” gym after ten. But half a month later I still haven’t gotten one even though I check my email every day for it. When they are feeling generous enough to honor their hours and I get in before they lock the doors I have to open the doors for people who’ve gotten the app but it just doesn’t work.

Billing Issues:
Was an unwilling member for 5 months after my contract ended. Verbally canceled over the phone due to my location changing at month 5. Still billed every month. Drove down to Corvallis to cancel in person.signed a cancellation form, stilled billed every month. Had a phone conversation with the owner that he would cancel and refund. (something about their system changing). Can you guess, just got billed this month. Just had to place a stop payment with my bank because being friendly and trying to do it the right way just leaves me with less money for a gym im not using.

Gym Issues:
Old cables and machines that aren't serviced well,
cables stick, complaints about outdated equipment are met with responses about lifting heavier free weights. (I can incline bench their heaviest dumbbells, how is this relevant to cable maintenance) (this was back in 2022, not sure if anything changed)

Owner:
Owner is actually kind of rude if you dont regularly go in and will give you quips about being consistent. The question is, how does he know I was consistent if we were going at different times.

(hard to actually find this guy in the gym if you need to cancel, and his employees cant cancel for you, dont forget to mention his business email and personal cell phone are hidden so he can avoid dealing with issues, had to convince an employee to give me his number so we could actually resolve the issue)

Guy also likes to give unsolicited powerlifting advice even if your trying to bodybuild or do some other form of working out.

Save your money, go to physique in Albany, Samfit in Corvallis, Planet fitness actually has better machines to be honest.

Without a doubt the best gym in corvallis. Very welcoming to beginners however clearly a Performance gym be lifting experienced bodybuilders. No matter your experience level you'll find something to do here in a comfortable environment. Lots of equipment and a championship mindset.

Good stuff ngl.they got everything i needed. They already had lifting belts, straps, grip chalk, bands, everything i thought i was going to have to get off amazon weeks before going to the gym.everyone always got their headphones or earbuds in and are focusing on themselves.unless you start repping 405 on bench then nobody cares what your doing. But it would be convenient if there was some sort of label on the EZ bar that says how much it weighs.

Went here during college. The rudest employees I have ever dealt with. All you can do is chuckle about it and be thankful you don’t work in a job you hate to be at every day like they do:)

This is the best gym in Corvallis. The options are numerous, free weights, cable weights, isometric space, strength & performance training, and aerobic machines. They have some of the most unique equipment around, specialized in very specific muscle growth. The walls are mirrored to view and improve lifting movements. Lockers and showers are available. Peter, the owner, has hired approachable staff that also lift. Kyle, Owen, Payton, and Jake (howdy). If you have a VW that needs moved, ask these cats, they will come and lift it out of the way. Again, a GOOD gym, run by GOOD people. Make 'em strong.

Downings gym has been extremely welcoming of us training in 2023. Thank you we are grateful. A special thank you from Wisebear Protection Self Defense
