WHERE STRONG PEOPLE ARE MADE

  One of the best gyms in Alhambra and el sereno area..the gym is never crowded and you never have to wait for a machine. They have several squat racks and... read more dead lifting platforms. they recently purchased new equipment as well. Wendy and Chris are great. They really do care.

  I LOVE THIS GYM, my boyfriend and I come to this gym pretty much everyday after 6:30, it's never packed, they carry all and any equipment you can think of,... read more Chris is also super awesome and so is the other staff. We've tried EOS Fitness, LA Fitness, 24 Hour.. but one of our friends recommended this gym and we've never looked elsewhere. 5/5 nothing else I can say!

  Thank you Chris for giving me a tour of the gym! Although I ended up signing with another gym, here is why I love this gym:

- It has every equipment... read more you could think of and more.
- It's not overly crowded so no long wait times on each machine.
- Chris is very straightforward with answering all my questions and his prices are standard for everyone (no contract or hidden fees).
- It's a family gym and a close knit community.

I ultimately ended up not signing up because it's a very male dominant gym (70% male / 30% female) and I am new to working out so it was a little intimidating for me. It is known for being a power lifter gym but everyone is welcome. I recommend for everyone and I probably will join after getting more comfortable in the gym! Thanks again Chris.

  Been a member here for about 6 months... and I LOVE IT! I've worked at and worked out at several chain gyms and they all pale in comparison to this... read more place. It doesn't have any sauna or pool, but they have showers and everything you could ever dream of when it comes to lifting. Tons of kettlebells, dumbbells, squat racks, deadlift platforms, oly lifting platforms, and turf (they have a sled you can push, my fav). I typically go at 5AM and it's never super crowded. All of the members have great gym etiquette- super kind and respectful and most importantly they re-rack their own weights. My man Jonny is there most mornings and is super helpful and chill. He works hard to keep the place clean and is super helpful showing new members how to use the equipment and even helps them with some exercises. I have nothing bad to say about this gym, 10/10 would recommend. I should also mention that there's no contract. I pay month to month and never once had to sit down and get a sales pitch. Finally found my gym home! Best one I've been to yet.

  Wish the squat racks had mirrors but it's clean and the parking is as easy as it can possibly get. Real weights which means a real gym.

  Have been going here for over 3 years now. When I first signed up, it was no hassle, no sales pitch, sign-up. Basically take it, if it works for me.... read more The owner, Chris, is very chill, and knows what he's talking about for lifting, exactly what every true powerlifter, weightlifter, experienced lifter wants as the head staff. Experienced lifters don't cause drama, don't forget to rack weights, are respectful to each other, etc, and thats the general culture here. Price is very reasonable, only went up $5 since pre-covid.

It has all the equipment I need, and every few months, they are constantly adding more equipment. It can get a little packed in peak hours due to the rise in popularity, so I always go pretty late to avoid the traffic.

Very good place if you want to go and just do your own thing. They have standard commercial gym cardio machines too upstairs, as well as a punching bag and speed bag.

There's a huge monkey bar looking contraption, and I barely completed on my second try, because I didn't want to fall to my doom. I bring several friends here regularly and they all really like it.

  Mom and pop ran business the owner Chris is great, great quality equipment and not too many people you pays premium for a premium experience.

  It's not about going hard or being hard for a month and burnout, it's about being consistent for a lifetime. And without further ado let's begin the fitness center review.... read more

Mission Fitness Center is an old school gym fitness center, and it's family owned and operated. It's located on Mission and Date ave in Alhambra.

I like that they have all the fitness equipments,  training machines, db-bb weights, boxing bags, rowers, treadmills and many more.
Basically, a real gym's gym minus the corporate malarkey that other fitness clubs have. Their members were very respectful;  they re-rack weights and wipe their machines after use. MFC is very spacious, well lit, well ventilated and temperature appropriate.

Membership has different tier:  Monthly, two week, a week, a day pass and a special last Friday of the month. Prices were reasonable. Parking lot is modest but plenty of street parking. Overall, I ENJOY every time I visit this gym.

  Shoutout to Justin the front desk worker who set me up with my day pass & welcomed me to this gym. I'm sometimes weary about trying out new gyms by... read more myself but it was late and this was one of the only gyms in the area open until midnight. Justin was cool about showing me how to use certain equipment like the hip thrust machine, and being a champ about answering my questions.

It's sort of smaller than what I'm used to, however, they have pretty much everything you need to get in a great workout.

Tips:
Blue bar: 45 lbs
Red bar: 55 lbs
Yellow bar: for deadlifts (if I remember correctly)

I was also impressed with how clean the locker rooms were. As most gyms tend to struggle in this area, however, it was spotless when I came in (8:00 pm).

This will definitely be a good back up gym for me!

  It was a good gym, old school vibe type of gym, one of those gyms where you're like yeah that was a good workout

  What a great gym and comfortable environment.

I came here on a day pass for $20 and it was a nice change from my usual Golds Gym workout.

Many more squat... read more racks instead of cardio machines which is amazing. When I came it was not packed, I did not have to wait for anything - everyone working out was nice and respectful.

The restrooms were clean and had hair tires and femine products, this is awesome.

I liked that there were a variety of lifting bars, belts, resistance bands, and more.

If I lived closer I'd definitely have a monthly pass. The owner was sweet and welcoming. Decent size parking lot.

  I appreciate this training facility and the family that runs it. They have that "old school" mentality especially when it comes to putting the equipment back where it belongs. This... read more is a no bs place to train

  Love this gym since there's almost no gyms for olympic lifting. I especially love the atmosphere and how nice people here are. However, sometimes the gym randomly stinks up even... read more though there's nobody near me to release "the stink."

  One of the best gyms I have ever been too! Life gets busy and stressful and mission has been a nice escape from everything when I go. It really does... read more feel like family here as you do really see the same people here and people just come here to hangout and support each other hitting another PR.

Besides that, you pretty much have your own playhouse to workout however you want. People understand the gym community and culture here, so you don't have to worry about the memes of commercial gyms. Def give this place a try out if you are looking for a new gym (or the best gym hehe)

  Been coming for about 2 months now. Exactly what I am looking for.
This is not a gym for everybody! I cannot stress that enough.

This is not the gym... read more for people who want to stare at the mirror all day. This is not the gym for people who want to sit on an exercise bike and watch youtube. This gym doesn't have a tanning bed, free pizza, or a TV hanging every 20 feet. It doesn't have mirrors around the entire place for people to take photos constantly.

What this gym does have is a great community of people who are there to workout. The environment is great; I see people support each other with their lifts. I see new lifters working out with seasoned lifters. It has every type of barbell, rack, and plate in abundance. I have yet to wait to find a place to deadlift or squat. It has Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, strongman, agilities and even a bit of crossfit. It's got MMA equipment including a punching, kicking and speed bag.

  Excellent gym equipment, great community environment and very nice owners! This is hands down my favorite gym!
