The gym is a fantastic gym! The new manager Emilee is absolutely one of the most personable people, and has bent over backwards making everyone feel welcome. All of the other members I have spoken with are very excited to have her on board. She has gone above and beyond making sure the place runs smooth and clean.
GFG is awesome! Great equipment and super clean! Definitely recommend!
Personally would say the best gym in Tuscaloosa, if you want a real body building experience without the crowding I advise GFG!!
I have been a member since I moved in next door when I moved to Alabama, and have worked out in many different gyms around the US to preface. Let’s start out with the negatives. The cleaning crew, and a few mangers before the current one, and the current manger are the people to thank because without the effort put in, the gym would be a mess. And it is a mess, that they are more than happy to help with (unfortunately for them)! The current manger, because it is true about the mangers never lasting long, is a nice young man who basically works a nine to five for the owner who is more than happy to never be available, disrespect his various staff in many different ways, run off each manger after they cannot take it anymore, and does not care about broken equipment, lack of supplies (that is a selling point for the weirdly high monthly fee), lets the bathrooms be broken until he feels like getting around to it, i could honestly keep going, but I’ve said my peace. He also didn’t care when a violent man (who hasn’t been seen since the altercation) threatened his last manger he ran off, who was a woman and had to call her husband so she felt safe to leave the building! Crazy work if you are supposed to be the owner? Let me also mention the few positives! This is a gym that i have gone to basically everyday and at all different hours of the day and felt safe, supported, and as a woman, never really uncomfortable! The people that attend this gym are normally very kind and chatty at will, it makes for a good workout environment! The machines are… eh, at this point in the gym world, maybe a tad outdated. Although you can get a fantastic pump if you know what you’re doing! Also, the tanning bed sucks.
My friends and I all love gfg! It is kept clean and love the free coffee and great bathrooms with nice showers. They provide clean towels as well. The equipment available is plentiful including a heavy bag for boxing and even a small climbing wall! The manager does a great job. She cultivates relationships with the clients and is at the gym every weekday. She is always there taking an interest in the clients progress and offering encouragement. It is nice walking in to a smile every day.
