Bev Francis Powerhouse Gym

I’ve been a member for almost a year now, and I’m Obssesed. The environment is super motivating, everybody’s in their own zone. The body builders are intimidating which pushes you to workout harder. Don’t even get me started with their equipment! The best equipment in the world. The people at the front desk make my day everyday, I love them and the gym! Can’t imagine ever leaving here

I have been a member for 10’years. This gym has the best equipment of any gym by far. The people who go here are all down– to-​earth and friendly. There are some serious body builders as well as regular people who like to be fit. I find it pushes me to train harder being around motivated people who like to work out. I use a trainer a few times a week and also work out on my own. People let you work in and share the equipment. When I belonged to another gym people were snooty and acted liked they owned the machine they were on. Also they have an entire room for leg equipment. Membership fee is once a year not monthly credit card fees. Love this place

East Coast Mecca! Hardcore gym. Don’t expect frills of high end costly gyms– expect thrills of amazing machines and atmosphere of unreal motivation!

these days Gyms are a dime a dozen .and they all want you to commit for a year or they have some sort they want your credit card and you have pay to cancel membership

I found my new home

Great hardcore gym living on past reputation. Prior posts have said the good points so i won’t repeat them, here are the negatives…
Roof leaks in about 20 spots during heavy rain, staff places buckets to catch water, some of which hits equipment and makes the iron plates rust.
Floors and lockerooms are disgusting, they have one cleaning guy for about 2 hours a day trying to clean 30,000 sqft and 2 lockerrooms/​showers/​toilets.
Hair and dust accumulations all over the gym, put your water bottle down and all this crud sticks to it.
Rubber floor mats are very old, makes the gym look like a dump.
Ventilation is lacking on some days, the bad breath smell just about knocks you over upon entering and the staff seems to be oblivious.
Poor maintenance of equipment, screws constantly falling out of equipment, wait till it breaks attitude.
Replacement cables in cable machines not done right, plastic ball ends missing. Some cables made too long in the high stations which is prevents someone 6′ tall from getting full range of motion.
Too much equipment in the gym jammed in, makes it difficult to load plates and even walk around. Machines are shoved around by members trying to make room.
Should get rid of the chalk tray… you get these 170 pound kids using chalk on their deadlifts trying to pretend their olympic powerlifters, chalk ends up all over the floor and equipment which gets on clothing and is probably not good to breath in chalk dust.
Lockerroom is gross, cramped, garbage and toilet paper all over, locker interiors never cleaned. Some idiot throws a ton of toilet paper in toilet and cloggs it. Same types stick their chewing gum wherever seems to be convenient, on benches, equipment, drinking fountain, floor.
Piss all over the lockerrroom floor in toilet area, urine smell makes NYC subway platforms not seem so bad.
Sometimes the smell makes you avoid even entering lockerroom, you want to use the bathroom at the chinese restaurant one block over. Sink faucets don’t work right, spray water all over you because parts are missing or are hard to turn on/​off. More cheap repair jobs.

Great gym period. If you are a serious weight lifter or fitness freak then this is the hardcore gym for you. They have every piece of equipment you can think of and then some. While I was there I actually got to meet Jay Cutler which was actually very cool. Make sure you pick up a tshirt while you are there.

Let me first say that I am not a bodybuilder and I am probably the fattest woman in this gym, but this gym is very inspiring. You see so many living examples of people that are consistent and driven. The other members are friendly and will help you if you need it.
There aren’t any kids, and I like that. I have to concentrate. At first it can be a bit overwhelming with the vast array of machines, but you get used to it.
There are TVs on all the cardio machines which is important for me – I won’t join a gym that doesn’t have that.
I like the no BS memberships — they don’t keep your credit card and they won’t keep billing you. They have tons of membership options and there isn’t any sort of joining fee, etc.

We love this gym its amazing the people are sweet except the two people we had a problem with who didn’t seem to like the fact we were there no idea why and kept watching us and talking very rudely. other wise We adore the gym and hope soon we can make this our second home as well no matter the travel. It’s great to see pros there and motivated and just working out and hanging around, we love the apparel we even bought more cloths to show love and we enjoyed the atmosphere its what you need from a gym no drama no issues just calm and people (except the two above) are very accepting and help each other out. we can’t wait to come back next month, until we become members this is out once a month trip see you soon bev francis!

You walk in and just feel the decades of hardwork that have been put in by men and women of all types.
There are photos, posters, and magazine covers all dedicated to Bev & Steve of Powerhouse. It’s inspiring and definitely something to see.
The set-​up is nice and old-​school, people are there to work. Great mix of gym-​goers. Very positive environment.

With over 200 weight machine/​stations, this gym is definitely the real deal. Included are over 75 cardio machines, boxing ring, and MMA equipment. Check out why so many professionals make it a point to stop here to get a lift in!

Best gym on the east coast hands down. If you ever wondered what a real bodybuilder looks like and what training really looks like stop by. This is a gym where people go to train, it’s not a social club like most gyms I have been to

World famous bodybuilding gym. The who’s who of bodybuilding has been here as evidenced by the literally hundreds of signed photos from bodybuilding legends over the past 30 years.
Location can be hard to find as it is not street front but is accessed through a parking lot /​alley.
Hardcore lifting gym with tons of equipment.
Can be a little intimidating if you are used to something like LA Fitness, Equinox, Snap Fitness or a similar gym.
Not to worry though, the hardcore lifters do their own thing for the most part. They are easy enough to spot, just look for the hoodies and gallon water jugs.
Expect the normal crowded gym if you go during peak times, M-​F 5 – 7 PM.
Great, no pressure sales staff. Also very flexible membership plans: monthly, quarterly or yearly.
If you want a hardcore gym, you can’t go wrong with this one.

If you are a hardcore athlete, this is the place to be! I’ve traveled to train here as an amateur and now a pro athlete and love the supportive environment that fuels my workouts!

My wife and I are really happy with this gym. The equipment is in good condition and none of the staff are pushy. Its really a no nonsense place. Also the atmosphere, although full of muscle heads, is actually really friendly. We’ve had no issues with anyone here. Locker rooms are clean, there is a lot of space and there is a WIDE VARIETY of equipment. Spin classes are awesome and you really bond with the people.
THE ONLY DOWNSIDE. There are older men who act like teenage girls at the mall. They talk loud and try to get noticed. Its actually enjoyable if you like to people watch. They don’t bother anyone else just make a scene by talking as loud as possible without yelling. «Hey yo! Look at this guy over here. He’s getting stronger by the day.»
Other than than, its been really amazing.

Best gym there is, was and ever will be. I wish I lived there. It’s a dream come true. I love it more than any gym I’ve ever been to. It has celebrities, motivation, amazing equipment, knowledgable people, n very friendly people as well. This place I recommend to anyone. way better than the shitness center across the street.

The East Coast Mecca! Clean, professional, friendly staff. They have the best equipment! Old but good! If you want a REAL workout… and target every muscle. Bev’s Gym is the way to go!!!

Known as the East Coast Mecca to hardcore bodybuilders, Bev’s Gym (as it’s affectionately known) is owned and operated by Steve Weinberger and IFBB Pro Legendary Bodybuilder Bev Francis. This is truly Disney Land for the addicted bodybuilder and it’s a dream-​come-​true for the novice who’s never trained at a «real» gym with the best equipment anywhere in the world. After all, what gym these days dedicates an entire room just to leg training equipment? And just when you think it’s too hardcore, you glance over at one of the best cardio equipment decks I’ve ever seen. You never have to wait to get on a treadmill or elliptical. The thing that impresses me the most is that Steve Weinberger is proud of his «baby» and he’s constantly nurturing the landscape with new, updated, machines and the latest technology the industry has to offer. That kind of love affair is rare in the gym industry and it’s what makes this gym so special!

Bev’s is the bodybuilding mecca of the east coast for good reason. Plenty of unique equipment to target every muscle in your body and never get bored. There is an entire room dedicated to legs for example which is bigger than the weight rooms at Planet Fitness or Equinox. Take it from someone who has been to almost every gym in northern nassau county, Bev’s is the best. I also appreciate that there is no sales staff and the prices are reasonable.

This is not a health club. This is a serious gym for people that are into weight training and body building. They offer some classes but it is mostly about the weights. The also offer mixed martial arts and boxing. The building is much bigger than it looks at first glance. They have multiple brands of weight machines for each body part. They have free weights, free weight machines and pin loaded plate machines. There are a lot of serious guys and girls that are professional body builders that train here. Locker rooms and showers are adequate. cleanliness is OK.

Firsts thing first. Bev’s is now Powerhouse. don’t ask.
Anyway this gym is exactly that — a gym. Not a fancy shmancy ‘health club’ where the women wear the latest outfits and the guys haven’t a clue. You join Bev’s and you know it’s gonna be all about the equipment. Granted it can be a tad intimidating what with all the ‘big’ guys strutting about, but honestly they’re too busy checking themselves out to even notice you. Just learn the equipment (they have trainers but be weary, some of them just look good but know nothing about how to train you, buyer beware is all I’m saying) and you’ll do great. Honestly there is one gigantic room that has nothing but leg equipment.
Now that’s dedication.
Because Powerhouse is a 30,000-square foot facility that includes a state-​of-​the-​art weight room, it can also offer a full cardio center, a boxing ring, a MMA studio (run by a 3 time world kickboxing champion), group fitness classes (spinning etc) and a juice bar.
They also have such great hours you will be hard pressed to find an excuse not to go.
Mon-​Fri 4am to Midnight
Sat & Sun 6am to 9pm
That’s 365 days of the year!
So suck in that belly, stand tall and check it out!
