About THE GYM
Anyone who's ever trained at THE GYM will tell you how much they miss it - how badly they want to turn back time and lift there again.
For over 3 decades (1979-2011), THE GYM was Minnesota's #1 rated training center, dedicated to providing an unparalleled atmosphere for everyone - from beginners to professional athletes - to train hard and achieve their strength goals.
Often imitated, but never duplicated, THE GYM in Minnesota totally dominated when it came to state, national, and world champions in bodybuilding, powerlifting, and many other sports. We've produced over fifty 500+ lb. bench pressers - and several that benched over 600 lbs. Most gyms have never had one! And countless professional wrestlers of international fame were founding members of THE GYM.
More than a mecca equipped with top-notch free weights and machines, THE GYM was a supportive community and a home-away-from-home for many. Our unique environment set us apart from other gyms, and we were known as the ultimate destination for serious lifters. In fact, for many, belonging to THE GYM was life changing.
"We Breed Champions" means our environment has always bred knowledge and success. This continues to this day. Join us in keeping our community, and all of its memories, alive. We've brought our vintage gym apparel back, so you can proudly represent THE GYM wherever you train. This is just the beginning.
