Power of Fitness

This is a great gym. The equipment is new and in great shape, I have never waited to use anything, the staff is friendly, and lots of equipment to choose from. My favorite gym so far!

I’ve been a member for about 2 years now. It has a great assortment of machines & free weights for all levels of fitness. The gym has always been super clean with friendly staff. A deffinate go to

Wonderful place to exercise or workout. Friendly, low rates, clean, nice members,
Owner is helpful and experienced, Nice location and easy parking by Costco
Very satisfied!!!

I just joined the gym for the last 3 months. Best decision ever made !. I have membership at other gyms in the desert but this is now my favorite gym !.
Great machine and very clean gym.
Owner Joe and staff are very friendly and helpful !

I have been going to the gym for over 30 years. That being said, this is one of the most friendly, clean, and nice environments to work out. This is not a bunch of posers. Just a nice bunch of people working out. The gym is usually very organized and clean. There is an enormous amount of free weights and machines. They are constantly expanding their offerings. For $ 19 per month, how can you go wrong.

I just started at Power of Fitness Gym to add more fitness classes to my routine. It’s the middle of the summer in the Coachella Valley and there’s usually a lack of options regarding classes and trainers. This gym seems to be in full swing, with lots of types of classes at different times. There is also a friendly feel to the gym, with a range of ages and activities that would appeal to just about anyone. I’ve been happy with classes, but it looks like they have plenty of equipment and nice trainers. The owner is also there most of the time, which gives the place a more personal touch. Nice place, nice people so I give Power of Fitness a high recommendation!

I have been visiting the Coachella Valley for many years but only in the past year did I venture into the Power of Fitness Gym. I finally decided to try it because the reviews since the new owner (Joe) took over, were mentioning how the facilities and atmosphere had improved so much since he bought this gym. All I can say is I think the gym is awesome. Furthermore it is pretty obvious that, even in the last 10 months that I have been coming here, Joe continues to update and improve the facility so that it will appeal to a wider range of members.
Want to improve your boxing or MMA skills, yes you can do it here. Powerlifter or bodybuilder, this gym has what you need. Would you rather use weight machines (psst –your favorite machine is available) or how about treadmills, ellipticals, rowing machines, spinning or TRX stuff, you will find it waiting for you. Even strongman have a great spot out back (when it’s not 111 degrees!!!), Joe has done an awesome job transforming this gym.
Some reasons to love this place
— not intimidating at all
— no high pressure sales pitch
— plenty of parking
— not overcrowded
— clean and well maintained facility
— friendly staff team
— friendly members
— great rate plans
and
— an onsite owner who listens to members needs, not like some multileveled corporate entity
Power of Fitness is great, Try it on one of Joe’s free passes, I think you will come to believe that Power of Fitness is the best gym in the valley.

I’ve been going to this place for 3 years the gym is great the people are great the owner Joe is great highly recommended

Great place to work out. I’m only in town for a few day. The owner is a nice guy and gave me great deal. I’m planning on going back everyday I’m here. I definitely recommend it.

My wife and visit the desert for month every year, and have tried a couple of gyms, but this is best by far. Clean and spacious with friendly help. Those who use it are from all age groups and seem happy to be there.

2 words– Jake Sawyer. Best trainer on the planet. He trains out of there. Love this gym !

Super clean. Nice price. Spotless restroom. New equipment and plenty to choose from. Relaxed environment and just what I am after in my travels for a gym. If I was to live nearby this would be my home gym easily.

Went on a spontaneous trip to Rancho Mirage to meet up with my parents for a little vacay. I had to get some workouts in throughout the trip and I originally was going to go to a 24 hour fitness. BUT, that was 12 miles away from where I was staying, and I didn’t think it was worth it to drive 15 – 20 minutes just for a quick gym sesh.
Searched on Unilocal and I found Power of Fitness! They had a campaign going on saying, «Get a week free just by mentioning Unilocal!» I thought, «PERFECT!!» It was only going to be 2 days. but hey, it was literally less than 5 minutes away, AND free. No complaints.
Called them, and the guy on the phone sounded more than happy to have me come by. He asked where I was from, and I said LA. He said no problem.
Went over about 30 minutes later, and I’m assuming the owner helped me out with a pass. He asked if I was a resident, and I said I wasn’t. I technically wasn’t allowed to get the free pass because they wouldn’t be making any money off of me, but since the other guy already said yes, he couldn’t refuse. Thankfully!
Overall the gym is awesome! They neatly put all the dumbbells in numbered order, and they have everything that you need! I feel like the weights from the cable machines are a bit heavier than usual (well more than 24), but it still works great.
They have bumper plates for deadlifts and such, tons of new machines that are kept clean and lookin’ nice, and a small range of cardio machines.
I wish all gyms could be as organized as Power of Fitness.
Again, thanks for letting me workout here for a short period of time!

I’ve been coming to this gym since ’08 and it really has been transformed since Joe took it over. He and his staff are so nice and low key and the equipment is top quality, easy to use plus you can’t beat the price!

Best gym I’ve ever been to! This gym is amazing, everything about it is nice. I am a serious lifter that’s into recreational bodybuilding and fitness in general and I have been to a number of gyms. This isn’t your typical chain gym, this is a local gym with a very calm friendly atmosphere. It has a great selection of machines, cardio equipment, and also a good amount of free weights with dumbbells up to 130lbs and a number of benches. I recommend this gym to people who want just a causal workout or an intense hardcore workout.

You know that feeling when you walk into a place and it just feels right? Well, this was one of those times. At this point I had already visited World Gym, Gold’s, and heard poor reviews about 24 Hour Fitness (which I have been a member of in the LA area for the last 4 years. I have been doing the gym thing for a little over 15 years, so I knew what was important to me and this place had it all:
Pros
— The price is right
— The owner (Joe) is awesome and takes great care of the place
— Did I mention, Joe is awesome?
— The temp is comfortable and the air quality is great
— There are plenty of free-​weights, racks, benches, machines, TRX, bags, and ardio equipment available and in great working order ALWAYS
— I have never seen the place too busy, like many other gyms
— The clients are respectful and the character of the gym is laid back
— The hours are nice
— There are plenty of TV’s to occupy the ADD type (sports, news, music, etc…) w/​music playing to keep you motived, but not so loud you can’t listen to your own
— There are always plenty of paper towels and cleaning spray on hand
— The group class area is clean and open for use when nothing is going on (I don’t do classes, but they currently offer Spinning, Zumba and plenty of others (some are included, I think, others cost)
Cons
— If a shower at the gym is important to you, there isn’t one
— No sauna, etc… There is simply a gym, changing rooms, bathrooms, and lockers
I’ve been going to this gym for about a month now and have no desire to go elsewhere.
You’d be crazy to not give it a look.

Great owner plenty of equipment to work out with the weights are almost always in there right place.
The treadmills work and do get fixed when needed. Crossfit equipment.
Zumba and another classes available dont be afraid to ask about. Remember if you need a spot don’t be afraid to ask.

I live in San Francisco but travel to Palm Springs frequently as my father resides part of the year there. I recently discovered the Power of Fitness gym off Dinah Shore Drive. Though I am not a big gym-​goer I like to ride my bike but it’s too darn hot outside. I quickly realized that the only way to get a work out in is by visiting an air-​conditioned gym.
The place has a new owner, Joe, who is super friendly and helpful. Every time I go in he greets me and makes me feel welcome. The place is very clean and has lots of equipment. I come primarily for the spin classes. The bikes are brand new and are great for getting a high cardio work-​out.
Highly recommended. They also have yoga classes and have plans on expanding.

I was so impressed with this gym, I joined it!
I’ve been checking out gyms for a while and my wish list is pretty short.
1. Keep it cool to encourage working out.
2. Have a good assortment of equipment
3. Keep the equipment clean and in good repair.
4. Not be too expensive
5. Open late
Nice to have — Zumba or cardio kickboxing classes
This gym was pretty close so I thought I’d check it out.
I walked in and was immediately hit with a wall of cool air. The a/​c was on and there were overhead fans blowing cool air down everywhere.
All of the equipment was in very good shape. No tape on anything and I looked.
They also have a huge assortment of machines. Even better, they have two of some types of popular machines such as sitting leg presses so you aren’t stuck waiting for a popular machine. The machines are clean and the gym requires all members to carry and use towels to keep them that way.
They have Zumba classes three times a week and you do not have to pay extra.
I“m not sure how crowded they are as I work out later than most. I’m hitting the gym at 7 or 8 pm. At that time, it’s not crowded at all and the a/​c and fans are still going strong! Woo Hoo!
Oh, and someone was wishing they had a punching? Well, now they do!
I wonder if I can get pink boxing gloves and try it out… hmmmm
Anyway, check it out, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

You pay an annual fee to keep the gym maintained. They fix things with electical tape which isn’t comfortable to grip.
They do not enforce gym rules. I can’t tell you how many times someone would get on a cardio machine next to me, get on their cell phone and yell. One guy cussed so much, there was no way the staff could not have heard it.
The staff sits on computer or socializes the whole time, while cleaning towels/​sprays need to be refilled, etc.
The younger employee always turns off the air –it’s way too hot in the desert.
There’s always construction going on; building and taking down walls.
They close at 8 on Saturdays, which I dislike.
When I first joined, the owner was cool and the employees were helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. I have a contract and hate that I’m stuck paying for this.
They do have a good variety of machines, and it’s not too crowded. I’ve rarely had to wait for a machine. Kids always seem happy going to & from the child care. Bathrooms are clean. No showers or naked people. Plenty of parking.
