I LOVE THIS GYM. It's large with an awesome free weights section, lots of machines and all kinds of areas with punching bags and cross-training stuff. Tons of elliptical, walking machines bicycle machines etc. Now they will have a room set up for yoga for ladies and all 6 or so rooms are unique and not crowded. The members are friendly and helpful. The only thing I'd change is the dumbell rack needs to be labeled and some nice signs asking the few ones to put their weights back after use.

I will reserve judgment for later once I get a full week in but this place could use a makeover. But for sure it a gym that’s nothing special but has potential.

Nice gym. Looks like a tornado hit a trailer park. Customers are so lazy they won't put the weights away. No heat in the winter, need a winter coat to workout. But I still give it 5 stars.

If you want fancy equipment and an abundance cardio this is not the gym for you. If you want to put in work, this is it. This gym is MASSIVE. If you need it, they have it. There’s a good amount of cardio for those who need it, tons of free weights, plenty of squat racks. They even have a room for women only for those of us who’d like to workout in smaller more private setting. It’s fair priced and the woman at the front desk is extremely kind and helpful. I’m from out of town but I will be sure to get my workouts in here every chance I get.

This is an amazing gym for most styles of working out. There is a CrossFit/circuit training section, powerlifting, body building, etc. The legitimacy of this gym was established when I saw the pendulum squat machine, deadlift jack, and belt squat machine. Staff was very friendly and professional. Best gym in the area.

The gym itself appears up to date and has a female only section that also appeared to have nice equipment. I entered the gym to enquire about family membership rates and there was about 6 people around the desk and behind the front desk, only one of them looked up and none of them said hi or asked if there was anything they could do to help me. Not for sure who was working, but the impression was given that they didn't care about a potential new client.

This gym has all the stuff you need and none of the stuff you don’t. They got a room with squat racks, barbells, dumbbells, benches, kettlebells, ropes, tires, hammers, rowing machines, and bikes. They got another room with treadmills and stair masters. They got a room with lots of resistance machines in it but I don’t use those. I paid $10 for the day and had the whole weight room to myself. No towels. Cold floors. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Yoke walk for strongman ☑️
Farmers carries for strongman ☑️
Strongman log ☑️

This gym has a lot of potential but the lack of competition from non existent gyms around Carlsbad has allowed American Muscle (AM) become complaisant. if AM would address this things they would be a great gym. all it takes is some attention and upkeep, no major remodeling would be needed.

First Am has a great set of free weight dumbbells in the front room, the only problem is that they do not enforce people to re rack the weights where they belong. This problem stems from not having the rack labeled, people know more or less where the respective weight goes but not exactly, leading to 80lb weights ending up with the 30lb ones Also about half of the actual weights them selves are labeled you have to guess counting the plates on the dumb bells to see what weight your actually holding.. this is very annoying when you are doing supper sets or moving up in weights every set and you have to spend 5 mins. having to find your weight or trying to analyze whether the weight is a 40 or a 45lb. I will say that AM has a very nice set of labels dumbbells in the back crossfit room but i never want to go in there because there are no mirror and the only benches they have are flat ones. i like to do incline dumbbell bench and incline hammer curls, so for this reason the back crossfit room is almost useless.

PROBLEMS:

> Unorganized/unlabeled dumbbell set

>Dumbbells them selves are not labeled

> Benches that recline in the cross fit room
