Mount Vernon Barbell

UGH...I wanted to like this Mount Vernon Barbell but there are too many problems with this gym. Avoid this place... Management is poor: They are slow in repairing things and don't take action to kick-out problem Gym members (I'll take about that more). Repairing Equipment should not take over a month, and when it is serviced, it should be done right not half-repaired to where it's sort of functioning. Things that are broken or just not right are as follows: Turf area has holes, Belt Squat is broken, cable stations are not repaired correctly, "Hip Thrust" machine has incorrect part, many rusty barbells, and the Strong Man Stuff is way too disorganized. Problem members. These are the the people who never re-rack their weights, never put back things and are just plain rude. There are A LOT of these people at Mount Vernon Barbell--MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN--and they totally ruin the whole training session. They will harass you for equipment (when you are clearly using it), get in your way on the turf or "Strongman area" (which is dangerous if you are running), and are just obnoxiously inconsiderate in every other way possible ( hygiene, language, etc.) Equipment wise, Mount Vernon Barbell SEEMS to have a lot to offer---but it is a facade when management can't maintain them all. So in actuality, Mount Vernon Barbell has very little to offer! If management can't repair things right away or a reasonable time, you are out-of-luck. And if members can't put things back where they belong, good luck finding that equipment! Their parking lot is full of litter and potholes, rampant drug usage, too. The restrooms (both male and female) are vandalized with graffiti and other Hate imagery. Management is lacking again to stop this. Price is now $530 plus tax. And some members said it went up. Avoid Mount Vernon Barbell. Not worth it.

Very good weightlifters’ gym at a fair price. It has all the strength equipment you need and a no frills style. I have moved away and haven’t found another gym I like as much.
