The truth be known, the reputation of The Pit is not so great locally.

The Pit is a Trap and should be avoided.

+1 AVOID; guard your personal information.

There have been many people who have done a stint at The Pit only to learn the truth about the place.

Says who?! And a trap for what? Watch what you say. The pit is the only powerlifting gym around this area and we know what were doing

The Pit is the only gym for the serious lifter. The experience of the trainers and members is a resource which alone is worth the price. The equipment, although old, is top notch. The facility, while cramped, is clean. No B.S.- just IRON!
The two earlier posts are just plain ignorant. It actually has a very good reputation (as a gym for those who mean business). The guard you personal information quote just makes no sense.
Gyms don't last for nearly 40 years without having some real substance to them.

An amazing place!
