Eagle Gym — Attraction in Overland

Eagle Gym is an old school hardcore bodybuilding, powerlifting, strongman, boxing club type gym. If you love the sound of 45lb iron plates slamming together and you want to get brutally strong, Eagle Gym is the place for you. You can chalk up your hands, go for that new deadlift PR, and the gym will be cheering you on. Now under new ownership the gym is expanding into kickboxing, wrestling, jiu jitsu, MMA, etc.

I first stepped foot into Eagle Gym over 15 years ago and loved the place ever since. Rick King the original founder and owner of Eagle Gym is a legend in the bodybuilding, powerlifting, strongman world, and Matt (the previous owner/manager) is also an extremely nice man with an extensive knowledge of bodybuilding, strongman, and powerlifting. I have a lot of fond memories training strongman events in the parking lot behind Eagle Gym or just getting my pump on inside the gym going down the dumbbell rack.

I just signed up to the gym last week, met the new owners (who are very nice people), and I am excited to begin regularly going to the gym. I live 35 minutes away from the gym and I drive past a ton of gyms to make it to Eagle Gym. I am looking forward to the future of Eagle Gym keeping the hardcore bodybuilding, powerlifting, strongman, and boxing culture it is known for while also expanding the gym to include kickboxing, wrestling, jiu jitsu, and MMA.

The gym membership is extremely affordable, and the new owners are very easy to work with. For the cost of some junk food and soda, you can afford a gym membership at Eagle Gym. Do yourself a favor, sign up to Eagle Gym, and get strong, healthy, and...

Beware! New owner told me I had to pay a membership fee, when I have never signed up for a membership. Even if there was a membership in place, I just paid him money eleven days ago. I only utilize the gym maybe two or three times a month, depending on my schedule to train with the boxing coach, Jared. This is not my regular gym as I actually have a legitimate membership elsewhere. If you’re smart take your money elsewhere as he treats you as if you’re beneath him. He used vulgar profanity with me via text and was very disrespectful. He does not understand nor care that word of mouth and customer service is key. He also seems a bit racist, and misogynistic as he told me he wants to weed out “people like me”. (I have this via text as well) The couple of times I’ve seen the guy I’ve always been respectful to him, so “people like me”, confuses me because what is implied other than him meaning black people or women? Give your hard earned money to a business that will appreciate it, not...

It's an old school gym with very reasonable prices of $5 a day, $30 a month $250 for the year; friendly employees, an onsite boxing instructor with one hour class sessions for $35 or five one hour sessions for $125 (for gym member only). The lessons are separate from the membership but you must be a member in order to attend. Overall it's a safe and constructive environment for kids while parents get in their daily workout and ladies are more than welcome to join and to visit. At this time I would like to send my condolences to Rick King's family and friends since his passing away recently. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and I rest assured to think of Rick lifting the weight of the sky up in heaven for all the angels to shine their light on us below. When you visit this gym it's more than just a community,...
