New Image Fitness Center

This gym is great. Just moved back here from California and this place is a good break from huge crowds. Crowd is pretty steady. Gym is clean and has an awesome room for CrossFit workouts (don’t judge me! Lol). Lockers could use some work but the rest is great :-)

I had the chance to workout a couple of times at New Image while in the area for business. One of the things that’s pretty tricky being on the go is finding a good gym to get a quality workout in. I can say that I had a good lifting experience here at New Image, and I’m a fan.
Now, it’s not the latest, state of the art type of place. In fact, the equipment may have a bit of wear and tear, if not the walls themselves, etc. as well. But that’s why I like this place. It’s not pristine, it’s gritty. It’s more what comes to mind when you tell a lifter that a gym is «hardcore.» Good solid equipment, that while it may not be the newest and shiniest, it does the job well. The upstairs has some cardio equipment, Hammer Strength and other machines, some free weight dumbbells with some sizeable weight, and a dedicated cage area. Downstairs, it is more dedicated to powerlifting type lifting and more free weight area including more dumbbells also. The steady crash of someone pounding out deadlifts can be heard from down there usually (at least my couple of visits). Iron plates… man I love a gym that uses iron plates instead of the rubber type replacements you see most places now. It’s not super cooled AC filled, in fact you’ll work up a good sweat there while one or two industrial floor fans help circulate the air. Good solid workout environment.
The people in New Image were great, both staff and fellow lifters. The staff I encountered were friendly, helpful, and positive. A good number of the other lifters said a friendly hello or even asked where I was from (I guess my accent gives it away, of course). It felt like a good camaraderie existed there, another plus in my book.
Bottom line: If you are looking for hardcore gym environment and a good all-​around great place to get your workout in, New Image can provide it. While it’s not a shiny day spa-​like gym, it’s got what it takes in both equipment and atmosphere as well as interaction to make your lifting experience there a good one. I’m a fan, as four Unilocal stars denotes.
