Powerhouse Gym Bristol - Fitness center in Bristol - 400 Middle St, USA

Editing per the gym’s comment to add that this is a great gym, and I’ve been a member for several years. My only complaint is that the AC never gets turned on until enough members have complained about it. Not only is uncomfortable for members, but i can’t help but feel bad for the employees that have to sit in the heat like that all day. Especially when temperatures outside are 90 degrees.

Great atmosphere, staff and a welcoming community. This gym has a variety of equipment. You will never find yourself waiting in line for a machine. There are 4 squat racks, a turf, plenty of cables and plate loaded machines. There is even a posing room!

I believe Ron has created an environment that makes this gym among the best gyms in CT. The gym reinvests at a decent level, machines are well maintained, and there is a good mix of programs. Great value for the money, and friendly people.

Wonderful staff and everyone so helpful. I had a hip replacement and said no worries about my cane. They went over backwards to help. All machines are checked and clean. The bathrooms CLEAN. Staff awesome

Love this gym. Great people here.

I’ve a member at this gym for over a decade (started going when it was still a Gold’s gym) and I have to say, I am very impressed with the updates that have been done with the Powerhouse transition. Super clean, updated equipment. Love the women’s room and the functional training area. Affordable, great location. Has everything you need to get a great workout in. A+

Since I am only visiting Bristol temporarily, I called Powerhouse Gym and Esporta Fitness to see which would give the more competitive rate for the short time I'm here. For a 1-month membership, Powerhouse Gym said it would cost $50 and Esporta Fitness said it would cost $30. Of course, I went to Esporta Fitness to sign up because it was cheaper. However, in-person they then told me it would actually cost me $80. I asked them why they told me $30 on the phone, and they said "oh well every guest pays a $50 annual fee." So, after being lied to by Esporta Fitness, I went to Powerhouse Gym. They gave me the exact price that they stated on the phone, which was cheaper than Esporta Fitness. All that being said, why go to a gym that will mislead about something as simple and important as cost? If you are in Bristol, sign up for Powerhouse Gym! They are both more honest and better priced.

Fantastic gym! They have all the equipment one would need and another one just like it so wait time is minimal. Staff are very kind and inviting. They've added some awesome recovery options too!
