Updated Review (01/06/2024):

As they self-proclaim, this gym is one of the better gyms in the area - at least if you're into bodybuilding, powerlifting, etc. There is some very good pieces of equipment here that you won't typically find and most other gyms. The best thing about this gym, however, is the environment within the gym, the culture, and the capped membership.

As hinted at earlier, this is a place tailored more towards those into bodybuilding, powerlifting, and similar styles of fitness. These are the kinds of fitness endeavors I’m into, so this makes the gym one more suited to my needs, though it may not be the place for those into things like Crossfit, or for the novice who is easily intimidated by the gym environment and heavy lifting.

I also love the fact that they have set a capped membership number, which means you won’t find a crazy packed gym. Sure, there are busy hours, but you won’t have to add on an hour to your workout simply because you’re waiting for gym equipment to become available. With all this said, there is still much left to be desired.

First and foremost, this gym doesn’t currently have a shower or closed-off locker-room area to change in (though they are working on installing a shower, it looks like). They do have a couple bathrooms to get changed in, but no real dedicated place to put your things, and definitely no place to lock up your belongings.

The biggest frustration for me is the lack of quality pieces of equipment. Again, they do have some nice pieces of equipment, but some of the equipment is also, for a lack of a better way of putting it, hot garbage (particularly the lower-body equipment). While there are some upper-body pieces with questionable quality issues (some of the Fettle and Bolt pieces in particular), I do enjoy and love most of the upper-body equipment at 3D. It’s the lower-body pieces (except the Pit Shark belt squat machine, Life Fitness leg extension, Life Fitness leg curl machine, and the two Roman Chairs they have) that need to be sold and replaced. I think the first piece of equipment to be replaced should be the seated leg curl machines because the current ones are terrible (they feel awful, and don’t allow for a great stretch on the hamstrings). Second one would be the Fettle leg press machine.

Some pieces of equipment I’d like to see them bring in are:

1.Better seated leg curl machine (like an Atlantis C108 Leg Curl or Prime Evolution Seated Leg Curl)

2.Better 45-degree unilateral leg press machine that moves smoothly, has an adjustable back, doesn’t feel like it’s going to break apart, and allows for greater knee flexion (like an Arsenal Reloaded Bilateral Leg Press)

3.Freemotion Cable Cross Machine

4.Dynavec Gluteator machine

5.Roger’s Power Squat Pro machine

6.Glute kickback machine (something like Atlantis C122 Glute Machine)

7.Better GHD machine (something like Atlantis PW322 Assisted Glute & Ham Developer or Atlantis D227 GHD machine)

8.Better hack squat machine (like an Arsenal Reloaded Linear Hack Squat or Atlantis PW412 Hack Squat)

9.Better pendulum squat machine (like an Atlantis PW212 Pendulum Squat or Arsenal Reloaded Pendulum Squat)

10.Better deadlift machine (like a Nautilus Plate-Loaded Deadlift Machine or Legend Fitness LeverEdge Deadlift machine)

Some of those are not totally necessary at this moment – just would like to see them. Definitely need a better seated leg curl though. Of course, everything costs money and gym equipment isn’t cheap, and they limit their membership numbers, so I can’t expect them to be able to throw around a ton of money to upgrade. I’m just giving my opinion on things and changes with equipment I’d like to see.

Overall, it’s a good gym for upper-body workouts, and provides a good environment for those who are into bodybuilding, powerlifting, and don’t like crazy packed gyms (thank you Mary and Charlie for controlling this). Highly recommend you give this gym a shot if you’re not...
