The recent reviews is outdated. New ownership happened about a year ago by Ashleigh and Kody Blazek. No managment issues at all. By far the best gym available. As previous review says, 24/7 access. Been to many gyms in the nation, and by far Anvil has the best strongman and powerlifting equipment to any gym Ive been to. Also caters to general fitness as well. For anyone looking for trainers, there are strongman, powerlifting, bodybuilding and atheltic/sports trainers available. Recent additions to the gym include a infared sauna and a smith machine. Day passes are available, and a quick tour is available per request for anyone looking to check it out. Great gym, would recommend

Gym is closed no one is answering the phone or the office. They must be out of business.

I've been going to The Anvil for a few years now and absolutely love the place. Make no mistake, its not the Mac or 24 hour fitness. If you're looking for a lot of cardio equipment this isn't the place. Its an ever evolving place right now as Ghost Strong owned. If you're looking for someplace that gives you complete flexibility in your workouts, staff that know what they are doing, people willing to spot when needed, and just friendly people this is the place. You'll see 55 year old women working 10 feet away from strongman competitors all with the goal of getting better. I've brought friends in on day passes and they all love the place and want to live closer.

Best Gym I've ever stepped foot in, and I've been to some top name gyms throughout the country. I met the manager, Sarah, and bought a day pass from her for $10. She gave me a tour of the gym, it's a shed building, and they keep expanding and adding more rooms and equipment. They have everything. Belt squat machine, seal row, many power racks. Strongman equipment, powerlifting equipment, crossfit equipment. Dumbbells up to 150lbs. True deadlift bars, chalk everywhere. And everything is in good shape, its not beat up. All the plates are colored calibrated plates they could use for meets. The people are nice and supportive, music is loud, speakers are great. All around the best environment. The best equipment. The best people. Reasonable price. Thanks The Anvil Gym.

Real good gym. I'm in town for a few days visiting family and glad I picked here to workout. Do need new dumbells but I was able to use what is there.

Ownership and management are awful. So much more to say on how this place is ran, and the public should know, but they will take down any reviews that show them negatively.

New ownership is driving out the people who made the gym. Sad day to see what this gym has become -- it's no longer a welcoming place.

Been to many gyms over time and you honestly can’t beat the atmosphere here. It is one of the only places that I have been to that feels like a community. Everyone there is striving to get stronger and better themselves. I have never felt judged or uncomfortable here like I have other places in the past.I love that the anvil is full of super supportive and friendly members that love seeing each other succeed in their goals.
