“Very clean gym, with a lot of equipment. I went here just once on a Saturday, but have joined the soy city CrossFit gym in town as Mike no longer offers an evening class at 5:30pm. The workout I did on that Saturday was in preparation for a challenge they have in February, with heavy cardio. That day I did a 1.5 mile run, 3K meter row, and a 4 mile assault bike. I felt great for the rest of the day because of the workout. The only reason I give this place four stars is because Mike is “old school” and doesn’t do warmups before class which I believe are critical for preventing injury. Otherwise though, very nice gym.”

“This place is so fun and I would really recommend it for new learners or even advanced crossfiters! It's an awesome place to make new friends. It includes many varieties of different people, along with very kind coaches! Also, this gym has a place for kids and they are allowed out but just have them stay on the green!”

“I highly recommend The Strength Academy! The prices are great. The coaches are friendly and knowledgeable and the atmosphere is conducive to success! The gym offers Brazilian Jiujitsu, self-defense, boxing, circuit training, powerlifting, weight training, and private lessons. The owners are well-equipped to assist with all fitness goals and needs. It is a clean environment with nice equipment! I’ve been part of many gyms and this is by far the best one yet! This place sets the gold standard for BJJ training!”
“I was looking for a gym that aims for results and this gym have proving to be do just that the staff are friendly and they get to know you personally and that means a lot when you're aiming for the body you want”
“Excellent facility with much to offer. Arguably one, if not the only gym/club with the most to offer in Decatur. Options are already pretty scarce in this town, but the DAC delivers. Wide range of tennis and basketball courts, indoor/outdoor pool, locker rooms, steam rooms, hot tubs, and especially gym equipment for even your most experienced lifters. Very retro equipment and facility. However, I have never seen such well maintained and clean Cybex equipment as well as others. I've seen plenty of newer, modern gyms with equipment in tremendously bad shape and poor cleaning routines. You can always expect machines to be widely accessible and usable majority of the time. Staff and other patrons are always friendly and welcoming. My only small gripe, is that you can expect the steam room (in the men's locker room at least) to be down every couple months due to a bad part. I would honestly prefer it be replaced with a sauna as it's getting in rough shape. Other than that, always a great experience, and suggest to any of those in the area.”
“I'm not a CrossFit person but anytime I ask Robin or Jon about an Olympic lift or deadlifts or bench they help me . They make sure my form is good . Great people and a great place.”
“Just joined this fitness center. It’s small but there are less users at any time here than the more popular places, and they have everything I would need; squat rack, cable machine, dumbbells, barbells, and cardio equipment. The price is just right for 6 months at a time (125 for 6 months which is only about $20.80 a month)!!! You can also ask to take advantage of their three free trial visits to the gym before you sign up to try it out. Great deal! Only warning: not open on weekends.”

“Recently relocated to Decatur Illinois and have been experiencing some health issues so I haven't been at the gym since April. I was glad to find that not much has changed at my favorite place!
The overnight guy, Josh, was very friendly and informative (thanks Josh!). Gym was clean, morning crowd coming in . I wasn't able to stay long so I hit the thirty minute workout area and did about half the exercises and was still able to get a decent full body workout. Back at it tomorrow!”
“Amazing community enviroment, one of the best I've ever seen. Practucally says it all, culture. This is more what we need in our Srates. I can almost literally sense people getting better and healthier while working out there. Make it there and find out for yourself.”
“Can't complain when it's a free perk to ADM employees... I wish they would fix down equipment faster, though.. sometimes broken equipment is unavailable for months... ?”
“Kickbutt workouts every time! The staff is so motivating and welcoming to everyone at every step of their fitness journey. They have created an awesome community of people in fitness!”
