First Impressions: -Staff Friendlyness and Knowledge -Clean enviornment -Feels Safe Inside -Atmosphere is Friendly yet Serious- people are here to put in work -Parking lot and area is a lil scary at dark for a woman because it is limited (which they did expand since I first joined) but sometimes you have to park on the street and the walk is a bit nerveracking. -Lots of Equipment I donāt even know what it does (but the staff did and will happy answer or explain during tour)
Impressions after being a member for months and coming daily (also at different times): -This gym is NEVER overcrowded. What a breath of fresh air -The staff are cleaning maniacs. Literally constantly cleaning. Anytime I come in there is never someone not cleaning. They had construction going on and immediately after they are scrubbing and power washing the floors. Equipment is cleaned often, I donāt worry about germs here and everyone does their job wiping down machines after their exercise and reracking weights. Just today- a employee was vacummand dusting the BEAMS. Like on the ceiling lol. They take cleaning to the NEXT LEVEL. I love and appreciate this so much. -Now that I know the equipment there isnāt really anything they donāt have equipment wise. Even very obscure things. It is evenly spaced and not crowded in there. -Community is superb here. No creeps, and they have a zero tolerance on that kind of behavior. I feel safe here as a woman and no one judges you when youāre working out. People are here to focus on themselves but are friendly and would be happy to help you. I get so excited to come!
Perks: -Keycard 24 Access -Staff excellence -Friendly yet Focused Atmosphere -Multiple Restrooms that are always clean and stocked Water Fountains and Vending Machines -Lockers and Cubbies that are video monitored to prevent stealing (you donāt feel anyone here would tho) -Variety of Music/It is never Blaring -Lots of Equipment for different lifting styles -Bands, Mats, Rollers, Ropes, Pvc pipes, steps, Sleds, Huge Freeweight sections and Kettlebells, pads, balls, yoga blocks, squat racks, smith machines, etc. essentially anything you could need. -Cleanest Gym in Exsistance -Lots of Mirrors -Everyone has excellent gym etiquette
EDIT : I want to be clear this is still a good gym, but the cleanliness has gone downhill. I donāt feel like that is something that I should have to complain about to get it fixed, that should be something that is taken care of without me having to bring it to anyoneās attention. The bathrooms have been disgusting multiple times, the dust is caking up inside the machines on top of the weight plates, And there is visible dirt and grime on the floor fairly often now. They donāt wipe down the machines hardly at all anymore. And some have a smell now. They do still clean but it has declined. I stopped going as frequently because it was grossing me out, and I have decided to move gyms. The price to me doesnāt justify a dirty gym with only equipment. There isnāt a sauna, pool, locker room, or anything else. I also noticed that the workers are only there one at a time now instead of multiple on shift, so it may be that they are spread too thin to be able to watch the front and also clean. Unfortunately, it also appears that people have lost their gym etiquette, most people are not wiping down their machines, and a lot of times the bathrooms are dirty just because people are being disgusting in there (They donāt flush, they pee on the seat or floor, they pour weird things into the sink, trash on floor, grime is all over the mirrors- mostly in the shared bathrooms). Itās not entirely their fault. They are still really nice, so I donāt think that this is a bad gym to be a member at, but cleanliness is a big deal for me especially moving into flu season So sadly, it lost a star. It also has become more crowded and the atmosphere changed negatively- people arenāt as friendly at any time- just certain ones. :c I really wanted to stay and I loved being a member here for the...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreObtain Strength is great for anyone looking into powerlifting, bodybuilding, and lifting. They are also pure 24/7. When itās icy/snowy, holidays, 5am, 10Pm, or whenever, they are still open for business. The name says it all, they are a gym dedicated to delivering an environment that allows you to get stronger. Me and my wife struggled to find a gym in Tulsa. We left Sky Fitness (now Genesis) when they changed but before that we werenāt happy with the options for lifting heavy. Obtain Strength has all the lifting equipment you could want, including some that we havenāt seen at any gym including when we lived in the city (Pittshark, Seal Row, and numerous Power lifting racks with Kilo plates to name a few.) Iāve never had to wait on a squat rack, bench, or deadlift platform. There are a great collection of people at this gym that provide a great environment. Since joining both me and my wife have competed in a powerlifting meet. The gym is also constantly improving, just today they announced the acquisition of at least 2 new work out machines. They are building up what they have and remodeling to make the gym space more efficient and working. When I first started there were no sound systems in the back room and the turf room felt compact. Theyāve since hooked up a sound system and opened up some walls. There are a few things I could be picky about but honestly none of it is worth mentioning given that they are complaints Iāve had about nearly every gym Iāve been in and itās more like a personal preference thing. Obtain Strength is definitely worth its place as the top lifting...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThis is a great gym for both the advanced gym goers and new gym goers because of the environment and quality of people who workout here. Gym members have a plethora of different machine options some of which I have never seen before and your standard free weights options as well as a powerlifting section. The gym is constantly updating their machines and making improvements to the gym such as lubricating machines, getting more plate trees, dumbbell racks and dumbbells, more weight bands. To getting things repaired like holes in walls, to cracked mirrors, paining walls and simple gym maintenance like mopping and sweeping the floors, cleaning the bathrooms, and dusting. The daily upkeep of this gym is like nothing Iāve ever seen before and it shows the gym staff actually cares about the people and the environment the members workout in. For the quality of people that workout here I can only speak from my own experiences and I havenāt had a single problem with anyone here and the community here is helpful like asking for a spot, asking questions about diet, exercises, and form checks. From my experience with the people here I can only say positive things. I would recommend this gym to anyone based on the quality, care, maintenance, and training...
