Not Crowded!

by geocity

I drove by this gym for years and thought it was tiny.

NO Way! It takes up the whole building behind the dinky storefront. A huge warehouse with tons of wieghts, machines, and open all night. I got tired of fighting the crowds at a chain club but this is awesome!

• Pros: Big, Lots of equiipment, open 24/7
• Cons: none

Go Local

by jayzee12

I expected the same high pressure sales when I went to Giants Gym, BUT, they were courteous and spent time to listen to my needs. After the initial consultation, they designed a program for me that has worked.

For the first itme in years, I am losing weight!! 20 pounds in the last six weeks. And when I need help?

The entire staff are my best support. Wow.

• Pros: Local Owner, Open 24 hours a Day, Clean, Lots of Help
• Cons: None

THANKS GIANTS GYM!!

by JSMOLT

I was so frustrated with the big clubs that I had almost given up. The staff at Giants Gym sat down with me and reviewed my fitness history and goals before I joined. Then they tested me, and put me on the Activ Trax system. It is so easy! Every time I go to the gym a new workout is waiting for me. I have finally gotten the results I wanted and it didn"t cost me an arm and a leg. The place is clean and super casual.

• Pros: STAFF, NOT CROWDED , PROGRAMS
• Cons: NONE

No Crowds, Great Atmosphere

by livepdxer

I had a membership at a chain club nearby but couldn't evern find a parking place, never mind use the equipment. At Giants Gym I get a gym that's friendly, clean, great help when you need it, and without the meat market feel.

• Pros: Custom workouts, open 24 hours a day, clean
• Cons: none

TERRIBLE GYM scams customers

by dgaston

Giants was great while I was attending but 8 months ago (due to financial issues) I had to leave the gym.

I have been charged for ALL 8 months since.

I called George the Owner several times to get the issue fixed. He promised me to reverse the charges and refund my money, but I continue to get charged!

I had to recently call my bank to change my debit card to no longer be charged by Giants.

DO NOT GO!

• Pros: ok gym
• Cons: SCAM ALERT! cancelling is IMPOSSIBLE

Great gym!

by galacticrodent

Its a nice friendly neighborhood gym. The guys are all really nice and willing to help and give you pointers.

Its not like a big commercial gym where you get looked at funny if you're not wearing the right clothes or the right hairstyle.

• Pros: Extremely friendly, Helpful staff. Plenty of equipment.

My place for me

by adellegoodrich

I've been a member of Giant's for three years. In January, I committed to personal training and have been Jim's client ever since. I've had success at last with my weight, fitness and commitment to myself, and feel this gym is like home now. George and Sherry are wonderful people who are committed to people feeling healthy and at home.

• Pros: The perfect pit stop after a long day at work

Good People, Relaxed Environment

by soverywrong

I've been a member for two years and enjoy my work outs immensely. George and the rest of the staff are incredibly pleasant and enjoyable to work with, which reflects on the members, making it friendly environment for everyone.

I recently decided to purchase some time with one of the staff trainers, Steve, and after a few weeks I can really feel the difference. Besides the workout regiment, the knowledge I've gleaned from him in body shaping as well as general wellness have been extremely valuable.

• Pros: Friendly staff, locally owned, large weight room
• Cons: Gets uncomfortably warm in the summer

Personal Help and Support

by ginapdx

I love going to a local club that really seems to care about me and all of the members. I am greeted with a smile, they are always cleaning and offering help with my workouts.

I have been using the Activetrax program and love the variety as I get a new workout every time I come in .

It is not the fanciest place, but Giants Gym seems to have everything I need, lots of machines, free weights, and two rooms for cadio.

• Pros: Great Staff, Programs, Open 24 hours, Clean, Local Owner
• Cons: Not Crowded or a Meat Market

Great place for a Great workout

by SGatt

I've been coming to Giants Gym for about 2 months now and I absolutely love this place. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The ActivTrax system is a terrific tool to guide me through my workout. They have plenty of free weights and machine based resistance training equipment along with a diverse selection of cardio equipment. In the past 2 months I've gotten significantly better workouts then over the past year at another gym.

• Pros: Open 24/7, clean, staff
• Cons: none yet
