American Muscle Corps

"Since this a google review, it's automatically linked to my google account, which - for privacy reasons that mattered ten years ago - I set up using a pen name. I sign my real name below, following my review... I was in Pawtucket for about five weeks and needed a place to work out for the duration. By dumb luck, or maybe because the social media profiles were so well designed and effectively communicated what was being offered - I discovered American Muscle Corps. A quick call to the owner - which, BTW, was answered immediately even though it was 8 in the evening - confirmed that this gym had all the cardio and weight equipment I was looking for. And then some. I'll start by observing that AMC has membership plans that are reasonable and affordable, not just for a short-termer like me but for someone who plans to be a member for months or years to come. So it was perfect for me, as it will be perfect for anyone who needs a fitness facility for the long term. That's because AMC is a great gym, and I've been in more than a few over the years. For those interested in training with others or with a dedicated trainer, AMC provides that option. While I did not avail myself of those services, I witnessed first hand the high quality and expertise of the staff as they ran people of all shapes, sizes, and ages through what seemed to me the perfect regimens for each individual's needs. There is a large cadre of trainers available here - I talked to many of them - all of them knowledgeable and pleasant. I saw the same group of young bucks being run through a rigorous boot camp type work out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, while at the same time there were older or less fit folks being guided through their routines at exactly the right pace they needed. ALL of these folks were regulars. Meaning - they kept coming back consistently, day after day and week after week. This is a testament to how pleased they must be with their programs, which means the staff here must be doing something right. In short - there is a good vibe to this gym. I was welcomed by Gail, the owner, within a minute of walking in the door for the first time, even though she was in the midst of a session with a client. Everyone is - without exception - friendly and laid back. The most remarkable aspect was watching how everyone knew to put their weights away where they belonged, or wiped down the machines and benches they'd been using when they were finished. This is a direct result of Gail and the trainer staff walking the floor constantly, encouraging people and teaching them proper gym etiquette. To conclude - you can join one of the big, soulless, corporate gyms like the LA Fitness up the street, and you almost certainly will not see any of these good things happening. The big box gyms have plenty of equipment, no doubt, but that's as far as it goes. And for this sub-standard experience you'll probably be paying a lot more. So...if you're looking for a good gym in the Pawtucket/Providence area with a supportive environment that's professional, well-stocked with quality equipment, and staffed by people who know what they're doing - this is the place to be.

"I joined American Muscle Corps in May and have loved my experience. The staff and members are incredibly friendly and helpful. In the past, I have been overwhelmed/intimidated at big box gyms. At AMC, I feel comfortable, safe, and like the gym is accessible for my level of fitness. I have also started personal training with Gail and she is fantastic! I look forward to our sessions and how she gently pushes me. Not only am I seeing results, but I'm also building strength and confidence. I 100% recommend AMC!"

"I recently rejoined this gym and I couldn't be happier with my experience! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by a friendly and knowledgeable staff. The trainers here are exceptional, providing personalized attention and guidance to help me achieve my fitness goals. The ownership of this gym is truly outstanding. They are dedicated to creating a positive and inclusive environment for all members. The gym is well-maintained and equipped with top-notch facilities, making each workout a breeze. Not only does this gym excel in providing excellent training, but their online presence is also noteworthy. Their website is user-friendly, informative, and optimized for search engines, ensuring it's easy for potential members to find them online. If you're looking for a gym with a great staff of trainers and exceptional ownership, I highly recommend giving this place a try. You won't be disappointed!"

"Hands down the best gym I have been to. Gail is incredibly knowledgeable about fitness and passionate about keeping the level of integrity of the gym high. The gym is clean, has a good selection of weights and equipment and has an amazing atmosphere. Highly recommend!"

"I love this place. Not one of those gyms where people come to take up machines. Definitely a place where you can get in, get ya workout on then leave. Worth a try if your looking for a gym with A1 personal trainers"
