Absolutely love this gym! Old school hardcore vibes with metal plates, but this gym is for everyone and anyone that wants an environment to help push you towards your goals. Staff and members are great! Definitely caters towards competitors as they display members that compete on their walls inside the gym, very motivational. Also took boxing classes there with Tarek, great coach!

I had been wanting to work with a personal trainer and came across The Factory Gym a few weeks ago. After realizing that it is located in my end of town that made me take the plunge as they are not only close to my house but offer personal training as well. I called and talked to the general manager, Tarek who was so very helpful, answered all my questions and encourage me to come in a take a tour of the gym. I had no idea that the gym has been there since 1984 about as long that we have lived in the south-end, across from the post office on Allmond Ave. The space is open with free weights, machines, a training area with all kinds of equipment to perform every exercise you could ever do. The staff are very friendly, plenty of parking right out side the door, men and women's locker rooms, a breakroom, healthy food options and a small kitchen. There are many bodybuilders who work out in the gym but everyone has been friendly and helpful if I have questions. Tarek hooked me up with Kayla, one of the trainers. You have to be a member of the gym to train there but they take Silver Sneakers so that is cool. I paid the gym directly for my training sessions and they cut you a deal if you pay for 8 sessions up front (one free). Kayla has been fantastic. As a body builder herself I feel confident in her workouts. She pushes me and I'm sore after our workouts but she is intent on preventing injury while building strength, mobility and balance. We had a couple of conversations prior to our first visit and she has tailored my sessions to work on my issues. I have finished 7 of my 8 sessions, going to the gym twice a week meeting with Kayla and what she wants me to focus on outside of our sessions together. She went out of town and sent me two workouts to do while she was gone. We will meet this week for our last session. I have been impressed with the facility, the staff and especially my trainer Kayla.

Great lifting atmosphere and awesome variety of equipment. A lot of hammer strength machines that you don't typically see anymore

Best gym I’ve ever been to. Not fancy and doesn’t need to be; they have everything I need and lots of it. I avoided gyms for years because they were too crowded and I got tired of waiting to use whatever I needed to use. At this place, no matter how crowded it gets, it never feels overcrowded, and you never have to wait to use anything. Knowledgeable and friendly staff; highly recommended!

Judge Love is the reason for the one star, awful trainer/individual as he inappropriately touches women and doesn’t respect boundaries. Extremely unprofessional.

Huge facility and lots and lots of equipment. I really appreciate having more than one machine option for a muscle group. This gym routinely has 3 or 4 as well as a full range of barbells up to 150 (if I remember correctly). It's also very clear that that this is a serious body building gym. It has that vibe and the clientele reflects it. My only knock on the place is the locker room. Showers are very dirty and almost unusable.

I was recently moving into the Louisville metropolitan area and was touring around the city looking for a gym. Even though I did not end up signing up for a membership because the place we leased ended up being further away from the gym than I would like. The front desk was very very friendly and happy to assist. We got to tour the gym and I'll say it was awesome. It has a old school look to it and just a great atmosphere to really motivate you to do your best. I am a bit disappointed that I wasn't able to sign up, but I would definitely recommend to check this place out :)

Day passes are offered for those who travel looking for a gym. Hardcore gym with equipment not seen in typical commercial gyms (which is great). Even with the old-school, hardcore style gym, the atmosphere was benevolent. Gentleman at front desk was invaluable. Definitely will be returning my next visit to the area.

Coming through town we had to visit this gym. Greated by a great staff this gym has everything you need for the moderate to serious fitness enthusiasts. Old school iron weights with modern cable equipment gives you all the variety you need.

I’ve been to the Mecca of bodybuilding in California, Hollywood Golds Gym, Bradley Martyn Zoo Culture and many other well-known gyms across the United States. I’m here to tell you, The Factory Gym holds its own strong against these mainstream gyms you see fitness influencers workout and glorify online. The wide selection of the factory equipment is great, the atmosphere is ideal. I pay for a guest pass here every other weekend as I’m from southern Indiana visiting. Whether you are new to a gym thinking about signing up or been in it for years, you’ll be able to call this gym; home. The gym staff welcomes all and appreciates you along with all the humble members.5/5 ⭐️

True lifters gym. Worked out here for a week while passing through. Staff was very helpful. All members were polite and helpful. Always willing to give a spot. Would recommend if you are in the area.
