Best Gyms with Free Weights near St-louis, Missouri

Dragonfly is an absolute gem for women looking for a supportive, empowering, and results-driven fitness experience. The small group training format ensures you get personalized attention while still benefiting from the motivation of a group setting. The trainers are knowledgeable, encouraging, and truly invested in helping you reach your fitness goals. I love it and highly recommend!

Dragonfly Fitness Training is a truly special gym. You get expert coaching, amazing results and a true community of like-minded, strong women. I highly recommend this gym, I am so grateful to be a member!

You will see strength training results at Dragonfly. I am prepared to kick ass at a moments notice in the event my services are needed, with doing the two classes per week package. I love my transformation.

UPDATED REVIEW: I’ve now been a member at DFT for almost 7 years! Taking strength classes here remains one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. It has helped with functional fitness and even made recovery from a major hip surgery so much easier. Not to mention how much help I received with modifications during my year+ period of recovery. My coaches were so incredibly helpful during a time when I worried that I wouldn’t be able to return to the level of fitness I was at. I can honestly say that I am now stronger than ever and continue to gain strength. The confidence I’ve gained in the gym has helped to challenge me outside of the gym physically as well. It remains a fun place to work out, be challenged, and be a part of an amazing community of women who inspire and lift each other up. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I've been a member at Dragonfly for almost 3 years, and it is hands down one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself. Women of all ages and all levels of fitness are welcome here. I’ve had to deal with some older injuries and arthritis, and the wonderful and knowledgeable coaches are always ready with a modification for a movement that isn’t working for you. Class sizes are small, and the studio is always immaculate. The coaches truly care for their clients and get to know every one that walks through the door. I’ve always been self-conscious about working out in front of others, but Dragonfly has helped me to gain confidence in my abilities as I’ve become stronger. I’ve also met a lot of amazing women and have made some really great friends. I’m so grateful for this awesome community of kick-ass women!

I've been a Dragonfly member for 11 years and love every minute of it. LOVE the trainers, the group sessions that are never boring, and the fabulous comradery of this great family of women! I feel special even in a group, with personal attention, form correction or praise, and high-fives! My favs are core work, TRX, and anything with a kettlebell!! In addition to all this, we have events and challenges that benefit local charities!! Highly recommended! Just go!

I’ve been taking classes at the Afton Output location for 1.5 years. I’d taken classes at other gyms, but not like this. There is always a great combination of exercises to target everything. I truly appreciate being pushed out of my comfort zone! It has really helped me to see the results I’ve always wanted! The Trainer who teaches the class, Patrick, is very knowledgeable about the exercises. He’s always ready to help you perfect the movements and give you that extra push, but will also modify the movements if needed. I highly recommend coming to Output for your fitness journey!

I’ve been training at this Output Performance gym in St Louis for over 2 years. The trainers are caring and so knowledgeable and motivating in helping me reach my goals. The programming from Ryan B. is exceeding my expectations! I’m reaching new personal bests, and the impact on my health, mental outlook, and strength is powerful. The value of all the help and expertise really means a lot to me. If you’re looking for a gym that will zone in on your needs, look for Output training,

I have been working with my trainer Keri for years at a few other gyms but really love training with her at Output Performance. It has a wide variety of equipment she uses to challenge me and my fitness. The environment for me is a huge plus especially compared to the big commercial gyms. I am able to focus on my training without having to stop to wait for others to finish with equipment. All of the trainers and staff are friendly and professional.

I love Velo! I have about a 45 min drive and usually make it in 2x a week to train with Jimmy and it is so worth the drive! The facility just recently expanded and it has everything one would need for strength, sports conditioning or general fitness. As I have gotten to know the trainers since I started, they all bring such great expertise and knowledge to the clients they work with. You can clearly see the camaraderie they have with their clients as well as with each other. I really look forward to when I train there because it makes my hard training fun. I highly recommend reaching out and going to check them out. Cleanliness-A+ Facility A+ Trainers A+ You won't be disappointed!

The trainers and clients here feel like a second family. I've personally trained with Mark Cadiz at Velo Athletics for the past few months and absolutely love the personal approach they take to setting up fitness routines and healthy living that revolve around your life. It genuinely makes going to the gym less of a task and more of a highlight in your day. The facility is very clean and organized, equipment is new and well cared for, and its never too crowded or busy. If you're looking for a new gym definitely give them a call, they're well worth the time!

Great gym! It has very well maintained equipment. The bathrooms/showers were clean as well. They have stray bottles and paper towels to clean off the equipment before/after use.

The gym was great, for the space the gym has it was easy to workout in. The parking is shared with other stores but should not be a problem. The gym was clean, it felt safe, and the equipment was clean. The restrooms were very clean and had a chair in them. I know that sound odd but I travel across country and some gyms do not have one and it is very hard to put your bag down some where in the shower. It's the little things that I notice 😆 🤣 😂. If I come back through here I am coming back to workout here.

I agree with the Jacob they are shading. I asked to freeze my membership and they did for one whole month which was June mo money came out of my account and because of that month my membership agreement was extended for three more months!!! How fair is that??? I have proof that in May and July money came out from my bank. Bank statements show it. I’m currently on disability and limited income but hay yeah let’s take her money. I sent photos of the bank statement. Don’t deal with these guys it is not worth it. You didn’t charge me for ONE MONTH that’s ALL. THANKS

Army Captain here visiting family- Tom & Jeff were extremely welcoming and accommodating for day passes. Was an Extremely clean facility, and had every piece of equipment you should need for beginner through advanced levels of fitness and weight training. Highly recommend.

August, Tony, Ashley and Joe were so fun and informative. August gave me an incredible tour of an very clean work environment. Lots of perks, including smelling great in the whole club.

I signed up for a membership just yesterday. Upon signing up, all customer service and help navigating the sign up process at the kiosk completely disappeared after the staff confirmed they got me in as a member. I was left at the kiosk to figure things out while the guy helping me was pulled by another staff member so that both employees could help the next older gentleman coming in. Admittedly the kiosk was very easy to finish. However after I finishing the kiosk, I kinda hung out for a minute or two to see what are next steps. The lady then asked if there was anything else I needed. I was a bit confused since I didn’t get a tour or shown the app or anything yet. The original guy helping me told her my app wasn’t set up yet, and she very dismissively said I’ll get the email and can do it on my own. This experience left a bitter taste in my mouth. Upon checking 1-2 two star reviews and seeing how recent they are, I ran over immediately to cancel. And not to my surprise, there wasn’t any staff member on shift when I came to do so- cancellations are done on the kiosk. Good luck to this gym!

Love this location! Clean and friendly staff! Only thing missing is a Hip Thrust machine!!!

Clean nice employees greet you when you come in and say goodbye when you leave. The only thing I wish it had a bike rack outside.

I love this facility. The staff are always nice and welcoming. The facility is clean and well lit. The equipment is rarely out of use, it’s up to date, and in great condition. It’s well spaced out and you don’t feel cramped. It’s never too busy and can get in a good quick workout. It’s also a big parking lot so you’re never walking too far to get in.

I've been working out here since 2019. The owners are great and keep a very clean gym. All equipment is nice and well kept!

Stopped in to check it out. Gave me free WEEK to try. Super clean, great equipment, drama free! Adam was amazing always there to help. You want a place to go work out, feel comfortable, get the job done this is your place! 24-7, classes, trainers, spin classes, outdoor workouts love it! Best gym in area

Move here last year and stopped by to check out the facility. Wanted a place close to work out. Adam was super friendly and accommodating in setting up my membership. Les is as well very friendly and helpful. Facility is well equipped, clean and organized.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. Facility is clean and well maintained. Other members are friendly. 24 hour access is great! I've been a member at a large gym and I really prefer the atmosphere of the smaller gym. I would recommend it to anyone.

The owner is honest. Being able to workout in the evening is important to me because of my busy schedule. I am considering the spin bikes, but haven't got the courage yet to try. I have enjoyed this gym for about 8 to 10 years.

Literally the best of both worlds that combines elements of a gym membership and personal training. Classes are fun and really intense! The coaches are very motivational and give plenty of individual attention where needed. I’m a new member but everyone at the front desk treats me as if I’ve been going there for years. So happy I found this place!

I love everything about OTF and especially this location and the staff! I like the fact that I don’t have to think, just come in and work! The coaches are very engaging and motivating. The facility is super clean and they make me feel safe during this pandemic.

I love Orange Theory! I was so nervous back in February when I first signed up but fell in love quickly with the staff and the other members! Everyone is soo supportive and helpful during work outs and even after when I have a billion questions! I have finally found a place I enjoy going to and working out at!

I love OT, especially the Oakville location! I have never been into working out, until now. The staff and the workouts are amazing. Join and you won’t be disappointed!!!

This place has literally changed my life and given me back my health. The staff are kind and encouraging never judging or pressuring you to do something you are uncomfortable with. It’s more the opposite they are constantly helping you modify the routine so you get the best workout possible for yourself. I never leave reviews but I am leaving this here in hopes that maybe someday someone will see it and give this place a chance! Just go to OTF Oakville already you won’t regret it!

The place looked great, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. All the machines that I used worked great, and everything was in it's place.

Great gym for the value every thing you could need to stay fit and in shape. Not a place if your wanting to do serious body building but for busy on the go people that can only dedicate a hour or so a day this is a great spot. Even on super crowded days always have open equipment

The gym itself and the equipment are nice. I’m posting this rating to make sure other women keep an eye on their surroundings. There was a middle aged (maybe slightly younger) man that kept following me around to different equipment one evening. I had my airpods in and tried to go in a corner where I wasn’t as visible as he kept staring at me. He kept moving around so that he could still see me. He approached me and asked if I wanted help with my workout and I declined and he kept asking, so I said that I was actually done and got changed to leave. All of the sudden, I saw him waiting by the lobby also about to leave even though he had just been in the middle of a workout. I had a bad gut feeling and reported it to the staff. Better to be safe than sorry. They were very kind and walked me out to my car. My problem is that they told me I wasn’t the first person to report him. I ended my membership because I didn’t feel safe going anymore as he was there every time I went after that and was always staring at me even when I brought a friend. It still bothers me that people are allowed to continue their membership even when other members have reported feeling unsafe around them.

It's going to be a long day of meetings at work so let's get in a bit of exercise before I spend the whole time sitting in a chair. Arriving at 6:30 am on Tuesday, they were a little busy. Not so much that I had to wait for any of the machines but enough that there were people around. After spending my thirty minutes on the thirty minute circuit, a shower that worked just fine. I was able to check in with my Black Card membership without issue. It's all good.

I've never been to Planet Fitness before today, but I went as a guest of a friend, and it was great. Very clean, well organized, and will be joining because of this location.
