Powerstation Gym & Sports Conditioning. — Local services in Middletown

This place is probably the coolest gym I've ever visited. I was visiting from out of town and was trying to find the best gym in town, and this was easily it. They allow first time guests a free visit; you'll just need to fill out a liability waiver. The gym itself has several areas where you can workout. They have a wrestling area, cardio area, racquetball courts, and of course the Powerstation side of the gym. The Powerstation portion of the gym is a whole separate section filled with just about everything you could imagine using for strength training. There's plenty of free weights, pulley stations, benches, barbells, kettlebells, plates, and specialty equipment even for peak use times. You would have to be a gym rat who came here every day for a year in order to truly try everything they have to offer. There are also complementary chalk bowls to help your grip for heavy bar lifting. There's even a quasi-astroturf patch about 30 yards long for pulling a sled or even sprinting. The Powerstation side of the gym has a really old-school feel to it and appears to have trained several body-building competitors over the years. The owner has a couple of pit bulls that roam around the Powerstation side of them gym, but they're very well-behaved and are a pretty novel addition, especially if you're a dog lover. Next time I'm in town, I'm definitely going to come for another...

Best gym around. Tons of equipment. More leg machines than you can imagine. All kinds of unique bars, machines, and handles that you can’t find at other places.

All weights are put back on racks. You’ll never see weights laying around. The owner walks around and meticulously checks each rack. And he’s not afraid to tell you if you’re lacking in gym etiquette. On your phone too long? He’s going to call you out. Didn’t put your weights up? You’re done, son.

Best part? Everyone here is here to train. You don’t see people going soft. The few high school kids that show up show up to lift. Not chat. You won’t see crowds of kids here like the other places. A few here and there but they’re focused.

All in all, if you’re looking for a place where the big boys play and the women are stronger than 90% of the men at other places and far more dedicated, then this is it. That doesn’t mean people are rude or judgmental here, they’re not. Great people work out here. Friendly and willing to give advice at any time. But just know that this place will make you...

I moved to the area back in August and was looking for a gym. I heard about Powerstation and let me tell you, I've been to some similar gyms, but it's a no contest when it comes to how hardcore Powerstation is. This gym is like a combination of the best of the old school meets the modern da. Put simply, Powerstation has a very unique character. That's all thanks to Mike, the staff and the amazing folks who train here.

It's basically a large, subdivided warehouse. There is something for everyone. The floor is massive, they have multiple dumbbells, insane variety of machines, power racks, deadlift platform, turf, kegs, hammers, tires, tons of different barbells, benches, you name it. They even have a sauna!

I've heard people drive an hour or more to train here. It's a testament of how awesome this place is. It's very patriotic and veteran friendly. Last but not least. Don't forget to rerack you weights! Your momma...
