Iron Addicts LV

I don’t know what it is, but there is something special about this gym. Its no BS, serious lifter atmosphere is really motivating. I’ve made better gains in a few months here than I did over years at other gyms and I think it all has to do with being more focused. There is no half assing workouts in this gym when you are surrounded by so many powerful people.

Formerly known as Tap Ur Fitness.
This gym is great for powerlifters!
They have two monolifts with safety chains. They have three deadlift platforms. They have various chains and bands. They have three power cages. They have 4 flat benches, two of which are competition benches. They have 1 incline bench. Also they have several pairs of each weight of dumbbells going up to 150lbs. They have adjustable dumbbells where you can load plates onto them. They have a reverse hyper and a glute ham raise.
As far as bars go, they multiple squat bars (ss bar and camber bar, as well as 55 pound bars) and two power bars. They multiple deadlift bars (okie, texas, trap). They have various platforms for box squats, elevated deadlifts and deficient deadlifts. They have deadlift jacks.
They provide chalk and baby powder for deadlifts. They have camera tripods in case you want to film your lifts. They sell ammonia caps in case you forget some, or the box got crushed in your bag.
The gym is also hosts powerlifting meets. They recently had a USPA meet. Before that they had a USAPL meet.
Finally, the price per month is reasonable (about $ 25 which is better than a lot of regular LV gyms especially for the type of equipment they offer).
Overall a pretty good gym for powerlifters and bodybuilders.
Downsides:
1. My biggest complaint is that the hours are crappy. The hours are 8am-​9pm M-​F and 10am-​6pm on the weekends. Closed most holidays which means you either have to shift your workout or pay a walk-​in fee at another gym.
2. Too busy. They recently had like 20 new members join so the gym is too busy on some nights. On certain nights a group of about 10 – 15 «powerlifters» crowd around one bench or squat rack and occupy it for the entire night. Some of the individuals in the group don’t even actually work out, they just come to talk literally. Not really a major problem, but it is a minor annoyance.

I attended the grand opening of this gym on Olympia weekend. I’m a fan of CT Fletcher and some of the other bodybuilders that were going to be in attendance. Once inside it is obvious this is a gym for serious lifters. It’s not necessarily large but it is full of free weights, bars and power lifting equipment, There is not much cardio equipment, about three treadmills and three ellipticals, and they are under a sign with the title Fluff Zone.
The hours are limited so no 24 hour access and shorter hours on the weekends. But the price is only $ 25 a month with no contracts making it the perfect bonus gym for lifting only or just to break up your normal routine. Drop ins are $ 25 for locals and $ 15 for out of state. I imagine it will attract a lot of drop ins because of the name recognition.
