Strong and Shapely, NJ

 

[lookslikesausage]

Strong & Shapely in East Rutherford, NJ. Best gym I was ever a member of (this was back when Bob owned and ran it). Been to Gold's (The Mecca) more recently. Well-equipped but nothing mind-blowing (Strong & Shapely was better). I'd wager that The Mecca in the 80's and 90's was probably levels better then than it is now in terms of equipment.

Atlantis's gym in Laval was awesome. Really loved that place. It's a regular gym with all of their equipment but also functions as a showroom. Just about every piece of Atlantis equipment is there and ready to use as you'd imagine. Redcon...very very well equipped gym which I appreciated; lots of of newer stuff with a mix of old.

Bucket list: Oxygen, Binous, Panatta headquarters, Madhouse, and maybe that LVAC that has that incredibly rare Swing Squat that I've never seen anywhere else

Also want to go to FIBO specifically to see all the European stuff

Favorite gyms are the Warrior Gym at Nellis Air Force Base, its a fucking compound (but you have to get a pass from an Airman, be an airman spouse or be a contractor, not open to public) and the LVAC (Las Vegas Athletic Club) located on Flamingo Road (even more of a compound with an absurd amount of machines. Great gym)

Nothing really on my bucket list in terms of gyms.

I was stationed at Nellis when they opened that gym. The facility was shockingly nice for a military gym, but back then the equipment wasn't anything special. The rumor is that the city of North Las Vegas paid for that gym because there were rumors that most of the ops at Nellis were moving to Creech and North Las Vegas wanted to keep all those personnel there (no idea if that's true).

The LVAC on Flamingo and Rainbow is cool, I used to see Jay Cutler there all the time when he was in his prime; but I like the single story one on Sahara near all the car dealerships. It's old and grimey as fuck, but they have a ton of bad-ass old school machines. Some of them are probably from the 80s.

Favourite Gym I trained at: Rühl's Fit & Fun in Darmstadt, Germany. Trained with Markus himself a few times while I was there in the early 2010s. Moved away before he closed it down (Don't know exactly when, think it was during the whole Pandemic Shenanigans, and he was more into his supplement business at that point anyway). Working in and lifting with Markus was just fucking awesome.

Bucket List:

(1) Das Gym in Vienna, Austria.
(2) Muscle Factory, Either in Bangkok or Pattaya.
(3) James Hollingshead's Gym in the UK!

Apparently we have another gym in the slc area called The Refinery that is a similar bodybuilder environment to butler pro gym. Both are a little far south for me, but I'll try to make it to them on my days off.

I was only in town for a day, I'll be back though and I'll check it out if I can swing it. I love checking out different gyms especially when they have some unique or one off type of equipment.

People ask me what my hobbies are and I'm like ummm yeahhh it is trying out new / different gyms lol.

I’m just a little bit biased, but I think that my home gym is one of the best that I’ve ever encountered.
Crush It Coliseum it’s absolutely incredible! There are two locations, one in Statesville, North Carolina and the other Mooresville, North Carolina.
Doug Miller has done an incredible job putting together a couple of the most extensive collections of equipment that I’ve ever seen. If you were ever in the Charlotte area, you absolutely have to check out one of the locations!
