Dan Campos Fitness — Attraction in Philadelphia

This is def one of the best gyms in philly for 3 reasons A) it has easily the best leg equipment of ANY gym in philly . It's got the no1 rated belt sqaut ( the rogue rhino) , rhe no 1 rated hack squat ( old school cybex hack squat machine) plus a pendulum sqaut ( besides the standard leg press and squat racks for barbell squats) . No gym in philly has those 3 . B ) atmosphere. The level of customer s vary in terms of how advanced they are but they all share.one thing in common. They all work very hard and go flat out. No one sits on a machine playing with their phone for 5 min between sets . With everyone goign flat out , that atmosphere rubs off on you . C) . Old school equipment. the gym equipment industry is a very strange industry.

So Dan has found many older pieces of equipment made by cos when the founders were still in charge and they def are a LOT better than most machines being put out in some third world country today and then having a cybex or nautilus sticker slapped on them . I live 45 min away so I can only get there once a month but I always look forward to going that one day a month to absolutely destroy my quads on the belt squat , hack sqaut and...

I got turned on to Dan Campos Fitness beginning of 2017 from friends of mine going there...i was in bad shape at the time and i gained weight to 500ibs..Dan took the time to talk to me and ask me my goals and help me start my journey on exercise and weight loss...so i am still seeing Dan 3 days a week and i have lost 70ibs since with his help and to me knowing i should be down a larger amount not by his doing for he takes the time to talk to me about nutrition and things i need to do more off .. the great part about this lose is it has been kept off and not only that at 430lbs i am super mobile and feeling strong thanks to him...And if i can add i met some really good people over there and no one judges you and nicely motivate you..Looking forward to hitting my 2nd goal on hitting that 100lb loss and then setting my next goal ..so i highly reccommend Dan...

I attended a powerlifting seminar here and it was great. As a gym, there is a lot of powerlifting-specific equipment that is meet certified which is useful as they host a lot of meets here. The atmosphere is really cool, I loved the artwork and quotes on the walls. The facilities were very clean and the equipment was well maintained. The owner was very friendly. I don't live particularly close or else I would very likely regularly come here. My only small complaint it wasn't too obvious where it was on the street. Google maps got me there but I was a little confused which...
