Absolute Power Gym

100% the best customer service ever from a gym— the owner is really generous and kind. I was injured once and didn't come for a few months, the owner actually gave me a refund for the time I missed (more than I asked for). The gym has all the equipment you'd ever need and they're always updating with new equipment adds. If you're in the neighborhood, this should be your go to spot!

Absolute Power Fitness: A Gym That Feels Like Home If you're looking for a gym that goes beyond just providing equipment and actually fosters a supportive, motivating, and community-driven environment, Absolute Power Fitness is the place to be! From the moment you walk in, you can tell this is not just another gym—it’s a space where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and encouraged to reach their fitness goals. What sets Absolute Power Fitness apart is the genuine care and dedication of its owner, Miguel. He is truly invested in his members, ensuring that everyone, regardless of fitness level, feels comfortable and supported. Miguel doesn’t just run the gym; he actively engages with members, offering guidance, encouragement, and ensuring the facility remains a safe and friendly environment. The gym itself is clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped with machines, free weights, and functional training areas. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced lifter, you'll find everything you need to train effectively and push your limits. Another standout aspect is the sense of community Miguel has built. Unlike commercial gyms that can sometimes feel impersonal, Absolute Power Fitness fosters camaraderie and mutual support among members. It’s a space where people encourage each other, celebrate progress, and feel comfortable being themselves. The environment is inclusive and respectful, making it a great place for anyone looking to improve their health and strength in a judgment-free zone.

Pros: Cute gym and I love the better community it comes with thanks to it not being a chain. I also love that they sell energy drinks without marking up the price as well as protein snacks and shakes. Lots of good snacks and an upstairs area for cardio to get some privacy. They have a good variety of machines and lots of squat racks, which can be hard to find. BIG bonus points for offering a month to month membership as well. All of these are enough for me to recommend this gym to anyone in the neighborhood over a chain like planet fitness or crunch. Update Pro: Going here for two months I’ve noticed how awesome the cleaning staff. I’ve never not seen at least one person out and actively cleaning and tidying the entire time, and things never really get dirty. The cleanliness deserved a shoutout! My main mistake (which was on me) was touring this gym in the afternoon on a week day. It’s lovely during regular M-F 9-5 hours, but after 9pm it descends into a madhouse, which to be fair can be said for many gyms. Onto the Cons: The biggest thing that creates an uncomfortable environment is all the gymfluencers running rampant with tripods and setting up camp on machines and racks. Going to the gym for some can be very vulnerable, and I believe I’m not the only one not comfortable with my body and my workouts being filmed and posted without consent on social media. This gym would get five stars if staff could step out from behind the snack bar to help ensure proper gym etiquette is being followed to create a better gym environment. This also means encouraging those to rerack their weights. Having to rerack 10 plates of 45 pounds just to set up for your own lift isn’t ideal. Overall, nice if you don’t work during the day. Otherwise can very overcrowded and you may find yourself waiting a long time for certain machines to open up and dodging tripods left and right. Solid gym, especially for the price, but absolutely room for improvement to make it a great gym.

Amazing gym, you simply won't find better value anywhere in Brooklyn. Lots of machines, helpful (but not intrusive) staff, good hours, happy clientele. You can tell people like working out here!

This is hands down the best gym in the area. Staff are super nice and ask if anything needs to be added, Gym goers have been very respectful, clean and relatively new requirement. Peak hours around 6pm are a little busier but not of a problem before or after. Price is also affordable.
