I had heard so much about this legendary gym, it was an absolute pleasure to finally visit. The day pass was reasonable($12), the gentleman at the front desk friendly(he helped with picking out the size for some t-shirts), and going in later afternoon on an off-season weeknight the gym was pretty empty, so no problem waiting for benches or machines. This is not a prissy gym, it's an old-school down and dirty gym. Ideal for a great workout. Bathroom facilities are limited and the weights and machines are a mishmash of styles, but the environment is so motivating. Another plus was the hard rock music playing. Terrific experience here.

Atilis Gym is a great mix of everything you want in a gym. The staff are awesome—very friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. What makes this place stand out is the atmosphere: it’s hardcore enough to push you to train at your best, but still warm and inviting for anyone walking through the door. That balance is a rare find in gyms. Whether you’re serious about lifting or just starting your fitness journey, Atilis makes you feel right at home while keeping the energy intense with a great mix of music and a wide variety of machines and lifting equipment. Discovering the 100lb plates was a pleasant suprise! The owner Chris is super knowledgeable and encouraging, a sentiment that was shared by the other gym patrons who have been here year over year either locally or on vacation. Highly recommend and we will be back!

Awesome old school bodybuilders gym, with a wide variety of well-maintained equipment (even though some of the cardio machines need some updating), fun merch, and a well-stocked drinks/snacks/supplements shop. Has an outdoor heavy bag, which is hard to find around here. Staff is helpful and friendly. Great gym for visitors and locals.

Was in Wildwood from Ft. Lauderdale visiting family for 5 days and still wanted to train. I found Atilis Gym due to its mentions on Gym Nation (6 gyms to train at before you die) and Generation Iron and let me tell you it did not disappoint. The old school Jersey Shore Mecca vibe was a nice change from the newer commercial gyms and the culture was second to none, weights always re-racked, owner (Chris) running around wiping down equipment, using a little shop vac to clean and is so passionate about his gym. Just awesome! Welcoming atmosphere for all gym go-ers, no matter if you are advanced or a beginner. I highly recommend if you are ever in the area, I will definitely be back next summer.

Atilis is a great old school vide gym that gets you the pump you want before hitting the beach. Definitely held me down for my workouts while I’m at wildwood. It was great meeting owner Chris who is a great guy.

Been going to Atilis for almost 28 years and I recently told Chris of all the gyms I visited in many countries and in the US during my Military Career his has the BEST vibe by far. The place has a great atmosphere and Chris and his staff are always happy-go-lucky.

The guy now has 6 gyms and I hope someday he has 60 hopefully one near me.

Best wishes.

I don’t know if Atilis Gym is a fitness center or a petri dish. The bathrooms look like they haven’t seen soap in years, and I’m pretty sure something living crawled out of the shower drain. The water fountain tastes like it’s hooked up to a rusty garden hose, and the smell in the locker room could be used as a non-lethal weapon. I went in for a workout and left with trust issues.

Atilis Gym might actually be a time machine, because the equipment looks like it’s been here since the 80s and hasn’t been cleaned since. The weights are mismatched, the benches wobble like folding chairs, and good luck finding a dumbbell that isn’t bent. If you’re looking to train for a medieval jousting tournament, the rust here might be useful otherwise, avoid it.

I went to Atilis Gym expecting to work out, but apparently the main exercise here is dodging broken equipment and navigating through puddles of sweat nobody bothered to clean. The machines creak like they’re auditioning for a horror movie, the air smells like expired protein powder, and the staff looked like I interrupted their nap just by walking in. If you enjoy lifting weights while questioning your life choices, this is the place for you.

This gym is ABSOLUTELY amazing. Visited Wildwood with my girlfriend & her family and I am so glad we found this gym to workout at while we were there. First off the owner Chris is an awesome guy and so incredibly welcoming. You wanna see a gym that has a "culture"? Go to Atilis gym in wildwood. The energy, the music, the hype, is unmatched. Everyone in there is getting after it and I loved the old school feel. We did a day pass for a few days and it was by far the most reasonable price I've ever seen. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Disappointed in my visit, normally go to PF in Rio Grande but could not get off the island on Monday due to Fuel Spill in Rio Grande Ave and intermittent road closures. I was greeted by a very friendly guy at the front desk whom I guess was the owner by his positive disposition and attitude and real interest in greeting you . . No music playing when I signed in but shortly after the “heavy metal, head banging” music was blaring , this coupled with the very old equipment and weak AC system, I could not wait to get out of there and get back to PF on Tuesday to a nice quite , cool , modern facility and equipment. If you’re a senior , you may not enjoy this place!

I’m not a reviews guy, and I wasn’t asked to leave this review. This is a real gym. Old school, functional equipment with a great environment. It’s a work out culture inside the gym. But the culture all starts the second you step in. Chris the owner, man, the second I stepped in it was like I’ve been a member there for 15 yrs, you built that culture. I don’t get that at any other gym that I have ever been to, not a single one. Since I vacation down in wildwood 1 or 2 times every summer, this will now be how I start every day on vacation. Can’t wait to get back!

Great gym. Old school and new school combined. Very clean always see the employees and owner wiping down the equipment. Ended up getting the seasonal pass which is perfect as we come down from PA about every weekend. Been a LA fitness guy for forever and always pretty much put them above all other gyms except this one beats LA. Has become a major part of my excitement to come down to the beach.

Visited Atlis 2 days ago. Front desk rep, Anna, was wonderful explaining everything to me. Went back next day and met Chris, (business manager/owner). Decided to join for the rest of the year. The gym is amazingly equipped with free weights, machines, and cardio equipment you just do not find at other places. The positive vibes that Anna and Chris expressed made me feel I made the right choice. BTW, do not be intimidated by the physiques of some of the participants. They worked hard to get there and you can too. I am 69 and ready to go. Thanks Chris!

I never had to wait for a machine, there are more than enough. Quite honestly I think I got some of my best workouts here this week that I was here. Thank you!

It gets a couple stars for being a large gym with a wide variety of equipment. However, the equipment is all very old and a bit rusty. Since it's age, there's little in the way of safety equipment for solo lifters, so best to bring a spotter.

The lifting machines are hit and miss for whether they've been properly maintained, so some have extra resistance from friction in the pulleys, etc. That's fine for single cable machines, but a little lopsided for machines with two cables. I haven't used the cardio machines.

There's also no AC. I get that no AC is a mark of pride for "real" bodybuilders, but it kind of sucks for those of us who just want to lift and those getting older.

I still recommend it, because, frankly, it's the only usable gym in Wildwood.

This is a REAL-no-nonsense gym! If you want to get a great workout in, stimulate muscle growth, or just tone up like a pro, then visit this place! The pure hardcore atmosphere absolutely added about at least 30% more intensity to my already great workout! Chris was extremely encouraging, knowledgeable, and helpful. You won’t find some of the equipment they have anywhere else! If you are serious about lifting then you need to make a pilgrimage here!
I was visiting from North Carolina and made sure I marked this off my bucket list! Anytime I’m near NJ I’m going to try my best to get it in here.

I first worked out at Atilis in 1988 (still have the tank top I bought then) . My son is now the same age as I was then and every fall we come to Wildwood for the Car Show. We work out at Atilis during our time there. It is a great environment and wished we lived closer to be able to visit more frequently. We look forward to our workout there as much as the Car Show. Thanks for a great gym experience every time we visit!

Best gym experience I've ever had. I went this morning at 5:30 and was greeted by the owner. It sounds crazy but within 1 min, I felt more welcome at Atilis than the gym I go to regularly back home!! The owner was talking with many people, legit friends which was so cool to see, the atmosphere was awesome and motivating. The equipment was awesome- I never got a pump anywhere like I had today!! I'm just getting back into the swing of working out after a long break, reading some Mike Mentzer stuff lately and the whole vibe of the place made me super motivated. Leave your headphones because you are going to hear some awesome 80's and 90's rock (best era) to get you pumped up! When I left I just had to purchase a shirt, and the owner even complimented my choice and made sure it fit. How awesome is that? You can tell this is his passion because he reads and responds to every review which is incredible. I'm bummed that I'm back home hours away from Wildwood, I really wish Atilis was my local gym because I'd be there multiple times a week. I know when I'm back on vacation next year, I'm going every day. This is how a gym should be!!

When I walked in I immediately matched the owner’s face and personality to the voice on the answering service. I obtained a seven day pass for $40 and I more than received my money’s worth by week’s end. I even grabbed $95 worth of tank tops and hoodies.

As a woman that lifts, I was highly impressed with the overall vibe at this gym. I have a home gym. This was my first “muscle” gym experience.
I felt completely safe and welcomed. Everyone is there for the same purpose and it shows.
Equipment was clean and accessible. I used only free weights. Had no issue getting a squat rack @6:30am.
The woman’s locker room was also very clean.
Thank you for this gem while I visited the Wildwoods.

Flew home from Germany to visit family for a month and needed a gym. Atilis was amazing!! I'm interested in strength training and this gym had everything I needed and more. I went mornings at 5am and never had an issue accessing the equipment I needed. The gym was clean and the retro look was awesome. Seeing the pictures of male and female bodybuilders all over was really motivating. Special shout out to Eli and Ed who introduced themselves right away and made me feel like I belonged there. Everyone there was friendly and one member even helped demonstrate a piece of equipment I had never used before. I also saw members coaching each other through deadlifts which is just the type of comraderie I was looking for! I will 100% be back the next time I fly home. Give Atilis a try, you won't be sorry!

I have been going to Atillis Gym in Wildwood since 1990 during my vacation. It was pretty much a plain old gym until the current owner bought the gym. He is full of excitement all the time when you're in the Gym. I just started taken my young grandson with me to workout at the gym and he loved it. He also liked how the owner was talking to him about our workout. I thank you Chris for reviving what a true owner should be with people in his gym.

Atilis in Wildwood is a traditional, bodybuilders gym. It has a classic vibe to it with plenty of modern equipment along with the standard free weights.

I found the gym to be hospitable and easy going. The owner was very welcoming and friendly; most importantly passionate about owning a gym. Not just collecting membership checks. You can tell that this place is his pride and joy, and that he wants you to enjoy it as much as he does.

All the equipment is in good order and you’ll find everything you need for most workouts. As a bonus, there’s also a heavy bag station outside for boxers and mma athletes.

The pricing is fair and what is great is that day passes are available for those coming down for vacation or the weekend.

It’s my gym away from home and I highly recommend to those that are serious weightlifters.

If you need something posh and high end with techno music blasting and bright lights glaring in your face like you’re at a jewelry store, this is not your gym. The equipment has bits of wear and tear but everything is maintained. Go to planet fitness if you need everything to be pristine. For everyone else, give Atilis a shot, you won’t be disappointed.

(And no I was not paid to write this, or given any discounts, etc. Just an honest dude giving my opinion.)

My family has had a house in Wildwood Crest since 2005, yet this was my first summer as a member of Atilis Gym. Although I prefer HIIT style workouts, Atilis Gym was a great option for me to stay in shape. In addition to traditional strength training machines, there was enough space (both inside and outside) to do HIIT workouts. I was impressed with the fact the gym had an assault bike, row machine and a Bosu ball. The owner and staff were all great – there were several times I forgot my membership pass and they didn’t give me any trouble. I also really appreciated their attitude towards training and fitness – it was clear this was their main focus (they weren’t only focused on running a business/making money). As I result, I was happy to further support them by purchasing a few t-shirts. Their selection of energy drinks, pre-workout and recovery drinks was also great/helpful.

The only comment I have is I wish the gym was better cleaned/cleaned more often. I appreciated the tough, gritty, bodybuilder-like (note the pictures of Arnold Schwarzenegger on all of the walls) feel of the gym (it was actually pretty motivating), but there’s no reason it can’t be kept clean and polished. Through my HIIT workouts, I was on the ground quite a bit and never felt comfortable as I could see the dirt, hair and dust building up. The yoga mats always felt used & dirty/grimy, the tilt drum blower fan had a ton of dirt and dust built up on it and the cupholders on the treadmills always had dirt or trash in them. In addition, several of the barbells and weight plates left dirt/rust stains on my workout gear, which I will be replacing. I also never felt comfortable using the men’s bathroom as it felt very old and there were never any paper towels to dry your hands (note there was an automatic hand dryer, but it barely worked/put out any air).

My comments aside, I enjoyed working out this summer at Atilis gym – I was able to get in good workouts and liked the atmosphere. Keeping the above in mind, I would recommend Atilis Gym to others and I will be back next summer!

Greatest gym I have ever been to by far. The owner is very kind and easy to talk to. It is such a motivating atmosphere and it is easy to get a great lift in there. GO HERE WHEN YOU VISIT WILDWOOD!

After my experience here over my two vacations to wildwood, I'm going to be looking forward to coming back to wildwood for the gym as much as for the beach and boardwalk. This gym has such good vibes as a hardcore gym. Chris is an awesome guy and incredibly personable. If you don't like crowded gyms, try coming after noon, it gets a lot less cramped. And the free weights can be hard to tell what weight is what, the marker has worn off some of the weights. But outside of those minor inconveniences, this gym is a weightlifter's dream.

Whoever answered the phone at this location on August 1st 2021 at 2:30 PM eastern standard time was completely unprofessional and when I asked a question about the location he got mad and hung when I asked another. I called back immediately and he didn’t even answer. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL

It is a good gym for its cost. There are no very modern machines but they are in very good condition. The monthly payment is 50 dollars, 1 day is 10 dollars and 2 months 75.

This is a real no nonsense gym. If it takes you an hour to get ready for the gym, this is not your gym. If you’re serious about training and like a tasty metal soundtrack in the background, you found a home! Love this place!

I've worked out here in the past when I was in Wildwood. The gym has all the equipment you could ever need. Plus, the owner has chosen to stand up for human freedom which is something we should all be supporting. Will be happy to work out here again when I'm back on the Jersey shore.

Snowflakes need not apply, take your manbun elsewhere. If your really wanna pump, welcome to your new gym.
I love this place, it is a bit out of my normal glide path, but it is worth the extra drive.
