Best Gyms with Free Weights near Mcallen, Texas

Update: 12/16/24 I've haven't been to a gym in about 6 months. My insurance offered free membership so I can to this one since I like it. Still clean still the best in my opinion. Friendly staff a lot of workout equipment. Update 8-22-23 More than 2 months and still pretty good, no issues here. Update 6-5-23 After going a month it's still pretty good. I enrolled today and so far so good. I like to go work out when it's quite and it was pretty quite there. It's pretty big and they have spas and massage if you want. I got the basic just work out and go. We will see in a month or so.

The staff is always just standing around and not doing anything. The restrooms are always dirty, sometimes with no soap. When you bring it to their attention they seemed bothered. The customer service is horrible they always find a reason to complain to you. The gym itself is just a bunch of kids playing around. Been with Planet Fitness for 5 years, maybe it's time to look for another gym.

The massage chairs are so old school and some of the hydro massage chair settings don’t work! I went to one in Mission and it was way better than here. They need to upgrade this location with NEW EQUIPMENT TOO! Other than that I was still able to get a good workout

You think by now your staff knows you by name or acknowledged as you are in or leaving the building frontdesk does nothing but on their phones eating behind frontdesk they do nothing what are you paying them for??? Same guy still doesn't know my name Been here a year!!!! Pay attention this is ridiculous! Clean the machine do walk throughs pickup the gym attachments , clean , pickup restroom do more instead of harassing members as you walk back in building! His approach wasn't & never was nice no smile he looks angry no members like to walk into a gym and see ugly faces be polite.

Warning to all new years gym individuals who are looking for a place to join , the management here has the worst attitudes.this location does nothing to clean this facility and has the worst customer service. This location let's the teens vape anywhere they want. If you want to use a dirty restroom where front desk individuals just stand around doing nothing this is the place for you.

I don’t usually go out to public gyms but today I had an Amazing experience! Everything from the equipment to the customer service . I belief his name was zeke in the front desk, he explained briefly about every service and plan he has to offer. Zeke was giving me tips and tricks to achieve my goals at the gym! I appreciate his kindness and motivating personality . 10/10 experience , must try again.

Julian is the absolute definition of good customer service. Every day I walk in and see him at the front desk he says hi and puts a smile on my face, and on my way out he always says bye and tells me to have a nice day. ;) he is the pinnacle of great outstanding customer service.

Since we started in the gym my husband and I decided to have a personalized trainer for which we chose Ricardo Gómez because of his good reviews in the place, from the first day he imposed the routines on us we love the way he works, we are about to turn one month in the gym and we have been seeing great results!

The overall gym equipment is decent but the locker rooms and restrooms smell so bad you almost gag 🤢 they have trash cans in the restroom overflowing with fecal covered paper it’s disgusting. Not just that but their sauna is severely low in temperature with them not providing paper towels and when they are provided they are sitting on the counter with water soaking in them. As well as the sink smelling like sewage (definitely a leak).

Great place to work out. It's alway cleaning and the people there are alway maintaining the place. Love the atmosphere. The young lady Monica alway with a smile very helpful and knowledgeable with any questions I have. Thank you

This gym needs serious reevaluation for proper business practices, I stopped going few months because employees aren’t doing their job when it comes to maintaining the gym. Same issues and deficiencies are still present, gym is filthy and equipments are scattered all over the floor, I also ran into an issue with the workers not being able to properly do their job at the front desk when it comes to membership, unauthorized charges and fees but then later give you the runaround about getting a refund. Like seriously these workers either need to be fired or seriously retrained.

Came as a walk in with my wife and Erick was amazing with the membership process and gave a good tour and explained the body scans perfectly. If anyone wants to sign up sign up with Erick, will get you started on your goals right away. 👍🏼

Went to workout yesterday at the TruFit on Ware Rd. Dropped off my kiddos with Ellie at the kids club and she welcomed them in and kept them entertained. They had a great time learning and playing games with her. They brought home some nice drawings and paper airplanes, too. Will definitely be going to the gym more often knowing I can trust her when I have to take my kids with me.

Ok, honest review after trying it for a month.. It NEEDS maintenance. Super dirty windows, rugs and equipment. Staff is not helpful or trained to help out. There’s 4-5 people at the lobby right now, and water bottles to put in the trash EVERYWHERE. Gym NEEDS an URGENT remodel and better trained staff. Also, 2/4 stairmasters are actually working. Spend your coin somewhere else.

I’ve been taking my kids since they were two,now they’re 4. And they recently got two write ups.. I feel that the girls from the fun center don’t engage to my kids at all. I wish they hire ppl that actually love to be around kids,and not just to Hire. If they get suspended I’ll cancel my membership and my husband’s as well.

I came in to UFC McAllen for a business trip looking for a place to lift. Holy cow this place has everything you need to stay on track even when you’re on the road. SUPER CLEAN facility, friendly staff, great athletic environment. If I lived here this is the place I would call my Gym Home. I now have my spot when I come to McAllen. If I could give more stars I would, highly recommend.

Absolutely love this gym! It’s always clean and staff is always friendly.

I love my gym! We train as a family 6 days a week! Great coaches, fun classes, friendly staff, & the amenities are only getting better! My kids drink lots of fresh water & we can use wifi, now!

If you are thinking of getting a gym membership, UFC Gym is the place to do it. The staff is friendly, the people do not judge, the equipment feels new and kept clean, and the ambiance is excellent. They have classes for different practices of martial arts such as boxing, muay thai, and BJJ. I have been a member here for over 5 years and it has been great since. Thank you Julio,Tamez, Andrew, Coral, Adrian, Ian, all of the people that keep this place awesome. Great job everyone

A clean gym with a motivating atmosphere. The members are respectful of each other and there is always plenty of equipment available. There are peak times as with any gym but it’s a little more manageable here depending on the day of the week. There is always somebody cleaning down every crevice of this facility aside from having plenty of cleaning supplies available for members to wipe down. The staff is great and have been really nice each time I’ve checked in. Definitely recommend this gym to anybody not sure of where to call home.

This gym is great on how they treat the members. It does need remodeling asap. Also needs more maintenance as the water fountains don’t work. One doesn’t work at all and the other one doesn’t pour any water. It sucks as we pay fees, and they keep increasing them every couple of years and the maintenance sometimes takes months like this water fountain issues. I’ll give 5 stars but hope they fix it soon

Great experience. Staff is very polite and willing to give advice on Martial arts and training. Better than Golds gym and has newer equipment. More will be coming soon!

Great gym environment, it's always being maintained and well kept to the client standards. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Trainers are patient and guide you with workouts I don't hesitate to ask for help with a workout or machine use. 🤗

Front desk is usually empty in the evenings with employees doom scrolling in their separate desks with no sense of urgency to help clients. I’ve been purchasing day passes for two weeks straight and because I worked out at the 10th St. Location, this location did not allow for me to work out because purchasing day passes is only valid for that particular location. I was never told this until now. Word of advice: make a one-time exception for customers, especially repeat customers, to retain relationships. Not deny them access and then offer a $45 week pass. That’s not a relationship rather a transaction. Team members from this location could have handled this situation better

Pretty decent place. However.... the women's sauna has not been cleaned since I started coming in February of this year (2024) I've been looking at the same pieces of trash under the bench in the exact same place and more added over time as well as the dirty glass on the door.

Exceptional experience! The customer service here is top-notch, and the staff's friendliness makes you feel right at home. Every visit feels like being among family. The positive atmosphere motivates me to keep coming back for more workouts! 💪"

I never write reviews, but this place is definitely review worthy. Awesome facility I love the energy.! Well equipped for all of your training needs. This is definitely my strength haven of choice. Owners and coaches very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. Also, some of the nicest people I've ever met. The patrons here are kind and considerate. Anyway, I can't say enough good things about this place. Check it out for yourself. Thank you, VPR Gym Keep up the excellent work! Love y'all.!

Hidden Gem! A great team of trainers led by the owner; all driven to help every gym member achieve there goals. If you are serious about reaching the competition stage or maintaining health lifestyle= VPR Gym. Great community of members.

Great gym. The trainers helped me a lot working out, and saw great results! Highly recommend this gym and the training sessions :D

VPR is a great place to get the training you need to succeed. The trainers are very knowledgeable and always willing to help you. VPR is not a typical gym, it is one of a kind. The members of the gym may have different goals such as bodybuilding, strength training, conditioning but the trainers have the same goal to help us achieve those goals.

I paid for a one year membership ahead of time under the pretense that this gym not only had a sauna and a steam room but also punching bags. One month into my membership all punching bags were removed without so much as a warning to "make more room for leg machines" which they already had countless of. To make matters worse, the sauna and steam room are ALWAYS broken, now I'm trapped in a membership at a gym that charges premium prices for amenities it does not even offer and is open less hours than a planet fitness or trufit. I have spoken to management several times asking about the punching bags and they never have an answer for me on the return of the punching bags, at this point return them or return my money. I saw another review on here about filing a class action lawsuit and they may be onto something, y'all are just squeezing your customer's wallets and God knows when that money is gonna be put to good use.

Stopped by for a relaxing steam room / sauna session after a workout, but the sauna is out of order and the steam room wouldn’t turn on. Luckily I got my day pass refunded! Fix your equipment please :)

The paying members need to group together and file a class action lawsuit. Absolutely ridiculous and inexcusable that this place is constantly in disrepair and disorder. Steam room always broken down. Sauna always broken down - poor service. Staff cannot even answer, simple questions as to maintenance and class times They honestly don’t care about its members. Corporate at its worst if you are signing up because you want the extra amenities of a steam room and a sauna and heated pool don’t make the mistake because they never work. They spent more money painting the outside of the building than they do keeping all facilities working. My goodness it’s not like the Valley doesn’t have workers to fix things. Don’t make the mistake also because you think they have lots of classes because most of them are virtual or cancelled. But boy, do they like to charge!

I like the variety of equipment at this Golds. However, good variety is overpowered by the constant disarray. This is the most disorganized Golds gym I’ve ever been to. The dumbbells are never in order. Dumbbells are often missing and found scattered throughout the gym. Overall, the gym is messy and the owner of this location should be embarrassed for constantly offering poor quality.

I really enjoy the body pump classes with Adam. He is very energetic, engaging and motivating. I love the upbeat music and the front counter staff are very friendly especially Bruce.
