If you’re a garage gym style lifter and have crazy hours then this is the spot! I was only in town for a couple months but this spot was great! Not to mention the owner and his wife are super friendly! Thanks guys! More...

I had a compound tib/fib fracture last June. Did physical therapy and wasn’t getting the results I wanted. My fiancé was training with Jim and said I should try him for PT since he helps lots of athletes! I never expected to run again with a 12” titanium rod in leg. After 3 months of pt with Jim? He had me running and not only PT’d my injury but my whole body. So thankful for everything Jim has done not only for me but for my family! More...

Pros:-Open 24 hours, which is super convenient. I like to work out at night, and I'm usually the only one there.-They've recently expanded into a second space, with bench/squat rigs, a larger rig with bars that you can hang rings from and do pull-ups on, and weight platforms. I don't do much olympic lifting anymore, but I appreciate having space for free weight and bodyweight movements.Cons(?):-The previously mentioned rigs are not bolted down, and the smallest one could easily fall over with rigorous use.-The large rig is nice, but it's oversaturated with bars -- everywhere there could be a bar bolted to this thing, there's a bar. This means that it's impossible to do pull-ups without banging your head, except at the ends. And even those have higher bars above them which are difficult to reach but again easy to bang your head on, so it's quite difficult to practice things like muscle-ups, which require you to get up and over a bar.-Some of the recent equipment acquisitions are questionable. There's a new giant treadmill in the back that you can strap yourself into that seems like it's for sprinting, which seems unnecessary. There are a couple of machines that look like they're out of the 70's: one with hydraulics that you lay on and pump your legs, I guess, and another that's just a fancy way to do weighted knee lifts. I'd hope that these were donated, but if they weren't, I'd rather see my dues go towards something like air-conditioning the back room.-There is a central radio that is kept on all night, and is usually pretty loud. The station varies, but is usually not what I want to listen to when I'm working out, and often can be heard even when I use headphones.-This last one is a matter of opinion, and I mean no disrespect if you happen to disagree with me. At least half of the televisions in the treadmill room are always tuned to conservative news. This, coupled with the recent acquisition and display of a Gadsden flag, might not be your cup of tea. There's also a recent notice on the door that concealed carry is legal and allowed here. If it's legal, I don't know why we need a notice to tell us that. I'm also not sure how people would carry a weapon while they're working out, or if that would even be safe, especially considering the number of children around during the day. More...

Fantastic gym and a caring owner. This is not a "mega-gym" that can be intimidating or over crowded. It allows you to get in, push yourself and get out without distractions or needing to wait on people. Absolutely love this place.

Love this gym! The gym is very clean and has all the equipment and space you need. I love that it’s 24/7 for when I need those late nights or early morning workouts. Jim Kennedy (owner) is also awesome to work with. His bootcamp will push you closer to your fitness goals and keep you accountable. Go check this place out. More...

I had the pleasure of doing an interview and observation with Jim Kennedy, the owner, and he was amazing! He truly cares about his client family and is able to keep them accountable inside and outside of the gym. He has helped people accomplish the incredible, such as helping a stroke patient walk again. He is always engaged with his clients, always positive and energetic, and is knowledgeable in his field. I recommend Mr. Kennedy to anyone, no matter where you are in your fitness journey! More...

The only place I will ever go for health and fitness. You are surrounded by a mixture of warriors, athletes, newbies, and everything in between. All on the same journey. All there supporting and encouraging you. And you just need to go all in to experience it for yourself. Oh, the equipment and fitness areas are top notch. More...

My name is Isaac McCay. I'm an intern here at Gym Kennedy, it has been such a fun and valuable experience for me and I'm only 1/5 of the way done. Jim has created a family atmosphere here with anything from machines to sleds and tires to workout with. You can come here for whatever fitness reason you want and you'll end up staying for something completely different; whether it be a different workout style or because you became friends with the Kennedys (both are possibilities). It's a 24 hour gym so whatever the lifestyle is you can make the time to hit the gym, but try to go during the day so you can meet the people. Jim keeps in personal contact with all of his clients every day and that isn't something you can get everywhere. It's a great place to be at and I highly recommend joining Gym Kennedy! More...

As a former Special Operator we had great workout facilities where we could train hard in a great environment and with great people. Its hard to find that in the civilian world, but Gym Kennedy offers such a place. The owner is an incredible individual and the people that workout in the gym are great. It is family friendly and a great atmosphere to workout in. I highly recommend it. More...

I heard about Gym Kennedy from a friend, and I ended up doing a practicum for a class at the facility; I never left.
Gym Kennedy offers a variety of styles for members to throw in to a workout routine, whether that be Olympic lifting, power lifting, cross-fit, or your basic machines.
The variety of equipment allows me to expand my comfort zone and try new ways of exercising and living an active lifestyle.
One thing that I enjoy the most about the gym is how it is not overly crowded with the stereotypical "meat head." These people do not bother me, but they cause some people to be self-conscious and nervous about coming to the gym. I've personally seen people close to me show up at Gym Kennedy and their attitude was not the least bit self-conscious or nervous. They felt completely comfortable, when they did not feel comfortable at the YMCA or their own schools wellness center.
The Kennedy's are an amazing family who are very intentional with everyone who walks in the gym door. I personally am extremely grateful for the investment they have made in my life over the last year since my practicum to now being a personal trainer and member of their facility.

This is a fantastic gym! The owner is a great guy who is genuinely concerned with the success of all the gym members. He helped me to find a personal trainer who works around my schedule to help meet all of my personal fitness goals.
I also like the mix of machines, free weights, and alternative fitness tools.
In the past I have worked out at very large gyms (e.g. OSU’s Colvin Center, YMCA). These places have often felt very intimidating to me because the sheer number of people who are in much better shape than me. Every time I would go to those gyms I would get a little self-conscious that these super-athletes were judging my abilities. At Gym Kennedy, there is a certain sense of community that does not exist anywhere else I have been. I have never felt as though I was being judged which has been very helpful to my progress. Instead I have felt as though I am a part of a group of people trying to improve themselves.
If you are looking for a good gym that is not so big to be intimidating but still has all of the equipment and support you need to be successful, Gym Kennedy is the answer!
