First off, I only took two pics so it doesn't do nearly the justice of how freaking large and spacious this gym is.  Check out the other reviews as they do a better visual. I have had my eye on this place for a while as I travel pretty often to the Minneapolis area and have been looking for a gym just like this. Minneapolis has so many Anytime Fitness and Planet Fitness, which are not bad establishments, just not a place that fits my workout personality (i.e. "lunk alarms", no real heavy lifting and dumbbells that stop at 50#). Southside definitely provides the atmosphere to focus on your strength and lifting goals. Loved the gritty atmosphere of "go in and get it done, no excuses". The main gym is awesome and has a ton of speciality bars, racks, DBs that go up to 150 and platforms specifically for oly lifting only plus other platforms for powerlifting. I came in around 3-4:30 and was one of the only there...so no issue whatsoever of having the run of the place.Honestly I wish that there was a place like this in Omaha. Will back for sure next time here. More...

Love this place! The layout is great! The equipment caters to both strongman, crossfit, and lifting!! can’t wait to meet more of the community!

Came to Soutside to build a healthier me, and to be stronger, which led to so much more than that. I found a community that supports my lifting, gained opportunities to learn from those dedicated to their sport, and was able to participate in gym sponsored events that just tied all those experiences together. I’m very thankful to the owners for creating the space that they did, and thankful to the community for their encouragement. More...

I’ve never been more excited to go workout than I have when I started going to this gym. I live about a half hour away so it’s a drive, but its absolutely worth it. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming and there really is something there for everyone. More...

If you are interesting in joining a family to grow in all areas of life, come to southside. The environment is second to none, the owners Jared & Joel care about every individual member and love helping people pursue strength. New lifter or seasoned strength competitor, this is the place to be. Come in for a day/week/lifetime to train at a gym that loves seeing people grow. More...

Best gym I've ever been to. They have it all, strong man, powerlifting, and bodybuilding! To quote one of the gym owners Joel "it's like Cheer's but for meatheads! " You make instant connections with everyone you meet! Very friendly atmosphere and awesome equipment! Knowledgeable staff, and they host powerlifting meets a few times a year! No other place like it in Minnesota! We are a family at Southside! More...

Southside gym has the best equipment and atmosphere out of any gym I have been to by a long shot. The owners and members are very encouraging, and get excited over anyone's new personal record.

At this gym people know you name. It is a community as well as the best gym.

Southside also hosts a few powerlifting meets, as well as numerous charity events per year. It is good seeing a local business that cares about the community and those who are less fortunate!

No possible way to go wrong with Southside! More...

This is a place where you can make PRs and cry about it, no questions asked. Only support and cheers. Even if you’re on the opposite end where you’re failing, or anywhere between for that matter, there’s always support and cheers.

Food was decent, but service took forever and the waiter was quite rude. He called me by the wrong gender, and brought the wrong entree out.

Great place to workout! Especially if it's a coin toss going to LA fitness and getting an "expert" employee telling you that you're Deadlifting "wrong" or to stop when 315 doesn't go down without a single noise and when every squat rack is full, there isn't someone doing Barbell curls or plyometrics in the rack--my rant but I love the place

Badass feel to it, wide variety of equipment for strongman, Olympic lifters can use. Simply has more character than the franchise gyms have. Gotta try it out.

I started out here a member, years ago. I eventually became an owner and I couldn't be happier. I give this gym 5 stars because of the atmosphere and the sense of community that's provided by my members. I'll always go out of my way to continually add to Southside but I'd like to give my members the rating they deserve. For any incoming folks that are reading this, you'll notice once you walk through those doors that the atmosphere here is second to none. More...
