I think there is a Golds on Hope Ave

I am close friends with owner of Impact Fitness. Andy is a stand up guy, family man, and also LOVES to help and work with folks like you. Trust me try it out

Bay State Gym on Webster Street.

closed a while ago

Impact fitness? The place that fucked over every student during covid? He sure LOVES to fuck people

Empire athletics in leoninster but that's like a 25 min drive. Worcester common fitness should be opening soon, they're right in the middle of the city.

It do be kinda meh out here for serious lifters

Hey if you’re looking for a powerlifting specific gym I can PM you the details of where I’ve been lifting. We had 6 lifters compete at nationals a few months ago, great environment, and an amazing owner/coach

Prime fitness in Oxford is going to be your spot

Shame too, because it would have been right up their alley for a gym that was "a little rougher."

Yup, impact has almost every machine imaginable. The leg room is awesome too.

It’s very crowded and cramped though, the one downside. Things are packed in tight. I wish it had a larger turf area as well. Makes things like lunges/sled pulls/farmer walks hard.

There’s one in Whitinsville next to the Dunkin’ Donuts on providence turnpike that seems like a big boy gym

Impact is the only answer. It’s open 24/7 and is the vibe you are looking for.

That place was the best, I lifted there for years and it had soul.

No contracts either, just pay in cash. I lived too far to make it into my regular rotation, but it was an awesome hole in the wall.

Its not open yet, but evolve fitness near Kelley Square is going to open soon and they're opening a powerlifting section. I know students from worcester polytechnic that powerlift that have been offering suggestions to the gym.
