4th Ave Gym

On vacation and just worked out at 4^th Avenue Gym. 5 stars for this gym because they have it all for EVERYONE. Lots of cardio, in a separate room, that is up to date. For the power lifters and cross fitters, they have you covered as well. For the old school body builders that love the clank of the old weight plates and dumbbells, you are covered too. A few of every weight machine for those that stick with strictly machines. It’s clean, has a good vibe and the staff are extremely friendly! They got it right!

Best gym in Yuma, probably AZ… Support your local gyms, they more customer friendly. Franchise gyms only care about their name not their customers

Ok, wanted to wait a while before I reveiewed this place. So, I’ve been going for about 3 months, typically early mornings. I’m an advanced lifter coming off some injuries. I made a rookie mistake after moving to Yuma and joined Planet Fitness. In all honesty, it’s not a bad place, I got healed up there but PF is for noobs, broke kids and cardio bunnies.
When I walked in to 4^th Ave. I knew I was going to enjoy it. They have everything an advanced lifter would need, and in many cases two or more of them. They have more than enough cardio equipment but I rarely see a ton of people doing cardio. This is a lifters gym, men and women. Part of going to a gym for me is the environment. I like being around people that are focused and know what they’re doing. That motivates me. Now, of course there are some half reppers, ego lifters and old guys doing strange lifts but for the most part, the people here know what they’re doing and understand gym etiquette. THEY HAVE CHALK, hand sanitizer stations and SIX STEP MILLS. They also have this cool old school message bed on the second floor that feels more like a foam roller of sorts. That thing will loosen up whatever knots you have real quick.
Con: I don’t particularly care for the bath towels used to wipe down equipment. I hate touching a damp, sometimes soaked towel that has everybody’s sweat on it. Shits kind of nasty. I’d prefer paper towels but oh well.
All in all 4^th Ave is great. I’ve regained my old gains and have moved on to making new gains. I look forward to going every morning.

I can’t stop talking about this place! I tell everyone I know to join this gym. Whatever you’re looking for, this place has it. A big weight room, a room full of treadmills and ellipticals and a great pool. I come to this gym 6 days a week and it is honestly the best gym I’ve ever joined. When I moved to Yuma, I went to 2 different gyms and was not happy with their selection. Came to 4^th Ave and I have never been happier.

If you don’t even lift, you need to come to 4^th Ave Gym to get your swole on and start making all kinds of gains. Seriously, this gym has everything for all fitness levels, programs and goals. That can’t be said about other gyms in town. Try doing crossfit type of workout or Olympic lifts at World Gym, Snap or Planet Fitness. You simply can’t. One of them even forbid you from Deadlifting.
I hate writing and I know people love lists so here are my lists of Pros and Cons.
Pros:
— Clean remodeled rooms

— Racquetball rooms and basketball room. Check out the Auto Hoop. The board auto retract into the wall when not in use and it becomes a racquetball room. SWEET!

— Swimming pool.

Cons:
No smoothie bar.

I can’t think of anything else. Some may complain about the price but it’s reasonable and comparable to other gyms except Planet Fitness but they’re not a gym.
I think the best thing about this gym are the friendly staff and trainers. The patrons know gym etiquette and almost everyone re-​racks their weight and wipe down the machines. People are generally more friendly here than where i’m from (Vegas).

New renovations are two thumbs up in my opinion. They took out all the carpet and replaced it with rubber flooring. Bathrooms are updated. The Cardio room is amazing. They knocked down some parts of the wall to make the room feel more open to the rest of the gym. New flooring that doesn’t shake, yay! All new Precor machines with large touch screen TV’s that also have web access. And the best part, ceiling fans in the cardio room. Hallelujah!

I started using 4^th about 3 months ago, i had a membership at another local gym, so 4^th was my option to get out of my routine. i would use it on back/​biceps day only and would pay day passes evertime. However i got hooked and ended up canceling my other gym and getting the full membership at 4^th. I LOVE the amount of free weights they have, benches, machines and cardio! I also enjoy the environment and atmosphere it has. Now that they have made improvements and remodel it, its 100% better. The new posters are SICK! they motivate you and pump you up and it has made the gym feel a lot more «modern» but without loosing its «old style/​pumping iron» feeling! i am really please with the improvements and also with what they offer, best GYM in town! ;)

I went to this gym for a few months just this last year and then i went back again this year. I like it over all as being the only gym i have gone to in Yuma. The only problem i have is when alot of people start coming through the door, IT GETS STUFFY as hell. Pretty gross. But besides that the equipment and price is just right for me. I would recommend this place to get back in shape!

I rounded up to 4 stars… I like the gym itself (free weights and plenty machines). When your in the cardio room the whole floor shakes from people using the equipment. Also, what is the deal with paying to use workout towels and weight belts. These items are used for safety of patrons. I’m just saying I’ve never paid for either of these at any other gym. I do like the atmosphere in the building. Staff have all been very nice.

Best gym In Yuma… period!
