Mid-City Gym, 49th St

Mid-City Gym, on 49th Street and 8th Avenue in New York City, is my home gym, at least until it closes at the end of this week. Two safety squat racks, two benches, incline, decline, dumbbells up to 120. Machines galore, both stack-loaded and plate loaded. A calf raise supposedly used by Arnold. Dirty, cheap. Many bent barbells. Gets the job done. I am going to miss it.

Powerhouse Gym - North Haven, CT

A few weeks ago I went to Montanari BrosPowerhouse Gym. Located at 31 Bernhard Road, New Haven, CT 06473.

The facility is large and clean. There's a boxing ring available for an additional fee. They have a monolift that doesn't seem to be used much, a power cage, GHR, reverse hyper, a bunch of squat racks that you can addsafties to. Much much bodybuilding equipment. Chalk is good. A cardio deck overlooking the weight floor. Day pass was $15. Would go back for sure

Mission statement

Let's not get grandiose here, I just want a place to record gyms that I've been at and liked, in the aim of helping other people who are looking for gyms where you can powerlift well.

Galaxy Gym - Moultonborough, NH

For my first trick, I'll review Galaxy Gym. Located at 61 Whittier Highway,Moultonborough, NH 03254.

This is a serious powerlifting training facility. They have a monolift, a deadlift platform with jack, power cage, GHR, reverse hypher, and various other toys. Chalk is good. While I was there, there was a gentleman moving some impressive weight in a bench shirt. Cardio on top. It's a little grimy, but just the right amount. No bumper plates. Would train there again. I believe a day pass was about $10.
