Gabe's Fitness, LLC — Local services in Deming

Gabe's Fitness is a nice, smallish gym facility located in Deming, New Mexico. The fitness equipment is adequate to meet most people's workout needs and includes cardio equipment, free weights, and Nautilus style equipment. My rating of the gym is reduced due to the fact that there are no showers/locker room facilities, but most importantly, the staff, including the owner are consistently on their cell phones and tend to present as largely approachable and unavailable to members. I actually fell off an elliptical machine and was in a fair amount of pain, clutching my knee on the floor. The owner, Gabe, was glued to.his cellphone and issued a quick look in my direction, followed by zero CUSTOMER CENTERED FOCUS. He simply continued his phone call, while other gym members came to my aid. Even when I left the gym following my fall and passed by the owner (Gabe), he failed to inquire about my condition. Not so much as a simple, "Are you okay?", which soured my perception of the owner and ultimately led to my decision to terminate my membership. I would like to note that not all staff are inaccessible or unconcerned with members, and there are two men that I've interacted with who were very friendly, professional and available to members (wish I knew their names), but unfortunately their contributions to the gym were overshadowed by the owner and those employees who follow...

I was traveling through and wanted to get in a lift. They offer day-passes, but they actually are part of the multi-gym plan that my insurance uses.

In short - It's a good place to lift, I recommend it.

The equipment is well spaced out, so you don't feel like you're in anyone's way. They have 2 quality power cages for squats and such. They have a platform for deadlifts. They have at least 3 benches, with fixed benches for incline and decline, if you desire. The flat bench is wide and sturdy. They have enough cable machines scattered around that I didn't have to wait on anyone. The cardio area is larger than I would have expected for a typical gym. The equipment was all well-maintained.

The clientele is nice - good manners, no annoying people, and helpful when you need a spot.

The gym and bathrooms are clean. There is only 1 shower in the men's locker room, but it seems like most people just shower at home so there was no wait. It's a very nice shower.

Apparently they have a sort of pro-shop with food (actual food, not just shakes and supplements), but it had closed before I got there.

In short, if you're looking for a local gym, or are passing through and want a day-pass, give this...

I was in Deming for a travel PT contract and joined Gabe's fitness. It was a great place to meet people and the gym was clean and had a variety of equipment. I was impressed with the knowledge of the instructors of the group classes. Nick, was knowledgeable on the principles of safe exercise and was always attentive to class members to provide modifications to meet their skill level and help prevent injury. His class was by far the BEST exercise class I have ever participated in. During the gym closure due to COVID-19, Nick kept our class together virtually and provided workouts for us to do on our own and home and kept the class motivated to keep exercising! If I return to Deming, I will for sure join Gabe's fitness again! Thank you to everyone at the gym for making my stay in...
