I've been training at Elite for over 3 years now, and it's one of the best health and fitness decisions I've ever made. With its private, limited memberships, I rarely have issues accessing equipment. Duane and HR are two of the best in the industry and can train clients with any goal in mind. I consider my membership and coaching from them as an investment in my long-term health that's also allowed me to compete in a new sport (powerlifting), which was not originally a goal of mine. These folks will take you to the next level, whether that's competing in a power sport or improving your overall health and longevity. 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟🌟 review for a gym and community you should join!

Been going here for a while and overall it's great, but there are a few issues. The reasons why I like it are because it's location is convenient to me, never ever gets too crowded, 24 hour (big deal), and it's got an old school bodybuilder feel to it that I love, he also has a few chest, leg, back pieces that are amazing
Now for the bad parts, while Dwayne does have some really awesome equipment, a lot of his equipment is just very disappointing compared to what I've used in commercial gyms, especially the condition. For example the leg extension machine is so torn up it will rip your skin off at medium weight. Upholstery is falling apart everywhere. The only other downside is there is only a one person "locker room" which is a shower a bathroom and some mirrors, and a counter. But I've very rarely had to wait to use it. If equipment was in better shape id give 5 stars all the way! Overall, this gym is great, and everyone here for the most part is serious about their training! Nice spot, great owner!

If you are looking for real Iron Paradise-you‘ve already found it! It’s the best gym I’ve ever attended! If you want results come and get it! That gym has heart and soul-you can feel it from the very beginning! No doubts-come and train!

I couldn’t help but chuckle at Allen Ordonez’s review. My recollection is that he eventually slammed a dumbbell so hard that it broke. That is just a lack of disrespect whereas everyone I know who goes to Elite has the upmost respect for Duane. Duane is both very friendly and very engaging…he seems to always be around to answer questions about training and even offer tips. He doesn’t even hesitate to spot me or anyone else. As for the equipment after being a member of commercial gyms for years with their brand new shiny equipment, I now see how new isn’t always better. The older equipment was built better and the feel when you’re pushing it is totally different. As one reviewer said, it has the feel of an old school bodybuilding gym though the members are diverse in their backgrounds from bodybuilders to powerlifters to people who just want to stay in shape or improve their health. Ages range from high schoolers Duane has helped to people in their 80s! It’s a great gym. Once you’ve tried it out you will never want to step foot in a commercial gym again.

This is exactly the gym I like going to. A rugged gym where everybody's trying to put in as much work as possible within a certain time and leaving. Not too crowded. Just lift weights. Go home, nothing extra. I've never had an issue with the owner. I love it overall. Would love to come back whenever I'm in town
