Steel Mill Gym — Local services in City of Lackawanna

Closed the gym with absolutely no warning or heads up, or attempt to even notify members of the closing day of - all while playing it cool and continuing to sign new members up and collect money for the new month dues. The only communication has been 2 extremely ambiguous Instagram posts with 0 information on what is going on besides “we’re gonna try to reopen but don’t have a timeline or dates”, obviously to pacify who they can so they don’t have to issue reimbursements from the money they’ve been collecting regardless of knowing they were going under.

The owners are not good people. I’ve had very negative experiences with them including the wife being ungodly rude and pissy when I was literally trying to give her money for a membership. Prolly was rude because she knew the gym was going under but just kept collecting fees anyway.

By comparison - gym where I am from is closing as well but has been letting members know for weeks as they slowly get rid...

The owner is a former trainer that worked at the original steel mill .. he is in no way shape or form a professional owner or businessman. If you leave a weight on a machine and perhaps you were distracted talking to someone he will walk up to you and threaten to revoke you membership..! The bathrooms are filthy and always backing up and machines are dirty as well..this gym was a throwback to a great time in bodybuilding and now this kid ran the name into the ground! Canceled my membership! I wanted to update this posting.. the gym moved across the plaza that it was in. All the old equipment is now the “new” equipment and the price of a membership is now 399 a year. I can’t imagine paying this high price when there are so many better alternatives.If the original owner would come back I would pay 500 a year. The place was incredible...

It is a gym, but if your from out of the area looking for a place for a bit, avoid this joint. When I called a gentleman was friendly and promised a tour. When I got there, the lady who "helped" me couldn't wait to get back to the paper she was reading and could not bother to get out of her seat to show me where certain items were. The equipment is different than I am used to, perfectly acceptable, but the help should have been there to get me by that. Took my $20, left me feeling taken... may be fine for a gym rat... others...
