I live far away so I don't visit often but enjoy a change to shake things up. Lots of equipment which is comprised of new and old. Some of the older items need a spritz of oil and knobs that are missing to make adjustments easy. The new machines are great and easy to use. They have a pro clothing shop with lots of bodybuilding apparel for all your needs and to let people know you have been to the Mecca . Staff is great although each time I visited there is one young lady who glares at me despite my warm personality and charm I've yet to get a word out of her. Said have a great evening upon my departure aaaaannnnd nothing. It's a bodybuilding gym with a rough and gritty training atmosphere that keeps me honest and if your lucky, you might see an occasional pro athlete or bodybuilder catching a workout . Wish there were other gyms like it close by. It's a winner!!! I label it hardcore.

Known to be one of the top bodybuilding gyms in the country for good reason. The breadth of equipment and professional athletes here are impressive. Everyone is very nice and helpful. They remove jerks to keep it pleasant.

This is the best thing I have done. The gym is for people who want to workout. It is not fancy but the people re rack the machines, put the dumbbells back in the right locations. Everybody is friendly and respectful. Very happy with my decision to get a membership here

Incredible, extremely chill and clean! 2 weeks into the gym, joined Bev Francis Powerhouse Gym upon my brother's recommendation. Pretty much everyone puts back weight after usage :) This gym has everything you need and it makes you want to push to the limit and go all out each and everyday!

When I joined a year ago, I resisted the temptation to post a review even though I had written it because I felt I had not given this place a chance. I likely should have posted it then, I would have been kinder. There are pros and cons to everything and I prefer to start with the pros of this place. The pro is it has a lot of equipment so you can switch up your workout frequently. After all, isn't that really what you need in a gym? Well, maybe not. Let me go on with the cons: 1. Parking...horrible, horrible, parking can be impossible on busy days to the point where I've stopped going on Mondays and Tuesdays. 2. Equipment Breakdown...equipment breaks, let's face it, but it takes weeks and months to repair. 3. Equipment Changes...don't understand this but when a piece of equipment becomes popular, the gym removes it and replaces it with a far inferior substitute. 4. Cleanliness...they try...I've seen a rotation of individual women cleaning the place. Big place for one person to keep clean so you know it isn't really kept clean. 5. Hygiene...not existent...I don't care, pre or post Covid, I've never been to a gym that didn't have wipes or spray sanitizer and towels...doesn't exist here or at least after a year, I've not found it. There are two paper towel stations, but what about something to clean up after yourself? 6. Locker room...cannot make judgment, have never been inside, wouldn't want to either, might be a mess since hygiene doesn't exist around this place and is the cleaning woman going into the men's locker room to clean up? Haven't seen anyone else cleaning up beside her so I'm thinking it may be cleaned before or after hours, meaning once a day (or less). 7. Staff...I was taught if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything. 8. Members...they all seem to have the same trick...you see an available piece of equipment and you go over to use it. No one around it for a while you notice so you start using it...no signs anyone left their thermos or gym bag along side it...all of a sudden, out of nowhere, some other member comes by and says they were using it or need to finish their sets. They simply don't want to wait for you to finish so they use this trick. I've had it done to me many, many times. I just walk away and don't say a word, it's not worth it. 9. Equipment in general...some brand new, some very old. The weight stacks stick on the very old or the seating is near impossible to adjust. How about some WD-40 on the real old stuff? 10. Crowds...with Covid, many gyms on Long Island closed which likely was good for this place...there are times it is so crowded, your workout doesn't seem worth it since so much time is lost waiting on equipment. There's quite a bit more that I feel I can say, but since that is being judgmental, I will keep that out of this review and write only about what I see and observe and have experienced. It's a difficult decision to make about renewal which comes due in two weeks since so many of the good gyms have closed. Yes, they'll probably get my money again and I will be miserable another year here but I'm not too big on the options that I see without having to drive forever to get somewhere. Maybe this will make a difference if anyone from the management/staff takes the time to read through these reviews. I certainly hope so.

Amazing Facility with just about every machine on the planet, lots of free weights--and more! A must visit Gym--and you'll be glad you did!I came to visit Bev Francis's Power House on a day pass. The cost was $30, there is plenty of parking and the staff was very welcoming and accommodating. I immediately knew I was at home!I was very impressed with just about everything the Gym had to offer, but what really stood out to me was the HUGE, vast selection of modern and retro machines they have. Everything works, feels smooth and there were so many options to choose from to adjust to your training needs.The people who attend Bev Francis's Gym are very friendly, down-to-earth, kind and courteous. I noticed that there was not one--not a single-- weight plate, dumbbell, etc. that was out of place or put back incorrectly. In this day and age, try going to any Gym today and you'll see litter, misplaced weights on the rack, etc. Not here. The people who attend Bev Francis Powerhouse Gym are wonderful.

Great gym, has everything you need. Could be intimidating to new gym goers. Is cleaned daily. Parking may be confusing at first but there is plenty of parking.

Hands down the best gym for people who love to train! Bev’s has the best equipment to level up your gains. The gym folks are friendly. I love getting there early and I never want to leave. You rarely have to wait for equipment since the place is stacked. It’s even possible to superset when it’s busy. You never have to look for motivation because it’s everywhere from the photos of the pros on the walls and the people around. There is a reason that it’s called the EC Mecca.
