    They must have not wanted my business. I went during business hours, but no one answered the door. I called the number on the door, but there was no answer. I wanted memberships for three new kids and me.

    Westside Power Gym is unlike any gym I've been to. The community is welcoming and the environment is one that will naturally drive you to hit that next personal best. Rocky is the Owen/operator, veteran and firefighter as well as a retired MMA fighter. While not everyone's cup of tea, he is likely the most down to earth man I've ever met, always willing to lend a spot or give you a few pointers. If you like a nice quiet gym where the members don't smile and ask how you've been, this isn't the gym for you. WPG offers MMA classes, personal training, loud music, chalk, heavy weights and your own access code to lift 24 hours a day. Bathroom/shower on site, a variety of cardio and strength training as well as power lifting and strongman equipment. By far this gym feels like home over any other gym I've been to in my travels. Shut up and lift or keep sitting on your couch eating bonbons. Your choice.

    Hi, I just wanted to share an experience. I went with my son looking for a gym where he could get personal training. We looked everywhere, he was wanting to get himself ready to go into the Military. Well finally we found this gym and we met with Rocky. After talking to Rocky about what my son was looking for, my son was very excited to start training with Rocky. It was the best decision we could of made! Not only did Rocky prepare him physically but he prepared him mentally! I saw a transformation in my son that was absolutely amazing! And I just wanted to say thanks to Rocky for truly caring for especially the young people who walk through your doors. It’s not every day you run into a down to earth good person! Thanks for being a big part of George’s journey! 🙏🏼

    A true good honest gym , not a meat market like most gyms. A place where you can go for a serious work out. It's definitely an amazing place for serious people to workout. The owner is amazing and a great teacher. I highly recommend taking his classes.

    I stopped in to inquire about the jiu jitsu team and was just blown away by the interaction I had. To inquire about the gym you will have to text Rocky, who will meet you at the gym when he is free too. He greeted me at the door, sat me in his office (which was a hoard of sport memorabilia. No way you could keep that place sanitized) and spent 10 minutes telling me about his jiu jitsu career. He asked me how long I had been training and where out of but that was it. I had to find a moment in between him spewing off about all the brown belts at the gym, to ask what the pricing was, what time classes were, and how many other girls where in the program. The pricing was $100 per month(included full access to the gym, which is straight out of a 2000 gym machine catalog the equipment is so outdated), classes were at 7 pm, and he said with me there would be 3 girls in the program. Through all his talking this is what he did tell me about the gym: - the gym opens with a code, you are required to text him on the 2nd of the month to receive that code, so he can verify your billing went through on the 1st. - there’s a $5 fee if you are caught not replacing or reracking your weights - there’s a $3 if you don’t wipe down equipment or if you forget to turn off the lights when you are done - Rocky said he wanted to open his own gym as a purple belt and had a friend who was a black belt that agreed to rank him up and open the gym with him. He then talked about how I should be careful with choosing a credible jiu jitsu gym because “anyone can buy a black belt off Amazon” - you are required to cancel face to face. Which you have to text him to do. So whenever he is available to meet you, you can stop being charged. - giant bold sign reminding you that “JUST BECAUSE YOU PAY ANNUALLY DOESN’T EXCLUDE YOU FROM TERMINATION” I mean go ahead and go visit and you’ll see exactly what I saw. The visit was so off putting I had to chuckle to myself as I walked out, in shock that Rocky actually has customers with this business model. I did not join this gym and my rating is purely based off my visit to the facility and not the services advertised.
