3 stars because security door does not lock.
Definitely a safety concern for patrons of this gym. Please look at getting door repaired so only folks with active key card can have access.

Hardknox is such a unique gym. It has an amazing atmosphere and was very accommodating while visiting. Friendly staff and tons of equipment. Private area for cardio and work out area if you need it. Would definitely go again!!

Been doing a lot of traveling and wanted to try this place bad. I’m a sucker for grungy garage gyms and this spot was everything a garage gym guy could ask for. With love and respect it was musty, hot and rusty in there and I was in absolute heaven. Walked in scanned a barcode and paid with Venmo. 10 bucks for a day pass. The equipment was all functional and well used. You can tell a lot of sweat equity has been put in at this location. Staff was amazing and friendly and their tee shirts are affordable and have a cool gimmick. If you’re into old school strength training and Bodybuilding this is your spot. Would remind you of the great Ronnie Coleman’s favorite training location. It’s a for sure must.

Recommended for bodybuilders!

This is a gym without frills (e.g., no AC) with an excellent selection of old-school equipment. It is a hardcore β€œdungeon” facility, and reminiscent of the iconic MetroFlex (Arlington, TX).

I was vacationing with the family at Galveston and needed a gym to workout at since I'm training for a powerlifting meet in June. They have multiple deadlift and squat platforms. And they do day passes. If you're looking for an old school style weight room this is your place. If I lived in Galveston this is where I would lift.

I love this gym! I moved to the island for work 6 months ago and had to find a new home gym. I’m so happy with the decision I made. They are affordable and have all the equipment you could need for your workouts. Most importantly, the people here really care for each other, and you won’t find that support or community anywhere else! Thank y’all for everything!

If your truck doesn’t ever leave the pavement this is not the gym for you. This gym will put real callus’ on your hard. Cool place to workout, we did a week pass for $30. Everyone was welcoming, and was not too busy. I was able to use all the equipment I wanted/needed.

If you want a legit hardcore gym this is it. Don't come here expecting the latest and greatest machines and equipment, it's just iron. It's rusty, dirty, no ac, but it's the perfect atmosphere for a lot of lifters including myself.

No contest, coolest gym I've ever been to. Visiting from Canada with my daughter. This place screams the American dream. It's authentic, gritty, raw. Serous lifters who aren't pretentious. You won't find any kale eating anorexic yoga moms in here.

The equipment is old, functional a bit worn and rusty. It has everything you need and nothing you don't.

Think the polar opposite of Alphalete.

The sign says it all.

"Work harder, no one cares"

I absolutely love the vibe.

This is not some corporate owned gym that has a bunch of stupid rules.....
Good people that will help you and want to see you succeed in your goals!

I was in town for a week and was able to message the gym on FB and get a week pass.

Very reasonably priced, and not crowded at all when I went in, in the mornings.

I had to deduct a star for two reasons:

1) No one re-racks their weights at this gym. There were lots of squat racks and benches and power racks, and at most times none were being used but they all had plates on them. How frustrating to have to clean up after others!

2) The place is really dirty. Dust and rust everywhere. And since they keep the bay door open, and it's humid most days in Galveston, I was getting wet rust on my hands and clothes constantly. I made the mistake of wearing a white shirt one of the days, and the rust stains will be with it forever!

Overall I'd probably stop by there again next time I'm in town.

Great friendly gym where nobody judges you and is willing to help however they can. Great platforms for heavy lifting and old school heavy weight dumbbells for the Gainz. Great music and awesome atmosphere nothing else on the island like an old school hardcore gym with great music !!! Worth a visit if you ever come to Galveston Texas!!!

Only reason i didnt give this place 5 stars is Its honestly not the gym for everyone. But I love it as a skater guy I like being able to work out with my shirt of and the gym not having AC is nice cause it atleast for me get more of a burn. If you want to get in great shape this place is amazing. But some people my not like the warehouse no AC feel. It does get hot and it does get cold

It's just what I was looking for when I went Galveston. I was really busy so I only got to go once. It was kind of weird when I got there working out by myself at 6am. It's just what the doctor order tho with all the free weights. Thanks Hardcore gym. I will be back sonπŸ‹οΈβ€β™‚οΈπŸ‹οΈβ€β™‚οΈπŸ‹οΈβ€β™‚οΈπŸ‹οΈβ€β™‚οΈ.

Just wanted to share the amazing experience I have had working with Rosa one of the personal trainers at Hard-core gym in galveston. One hour of training will seem like it was 15 min , she makes you laugh , feel comfortable and helps you with proper form. She pays attention to detail and I can see the passion she has to helping me towards my goals. She is very knowledgeable with her workouts and you will never get bored with the same workout week after week , she keeps it Interesting by always switching up the workouts. I highly recommend her for personal training for beginners or even advanced athletes she is well rounded in all areas of fitness!!!

I was visiting from out of town with family for vacation and was looking for a gym to get a quick pump in. I found Hardcore and the guy running it (CT or TC I believe) was unbelievably friendly and chatted us up...I asked when the gym would be staffed the next day so we could come in to get another visitor pass and he just told us "dont worry just pay for today and I'll leave the gym unlocked for you tomorrow " ! What a great place!

This ain't your planet fitness. This is a old-school dungeon. I wish more gyms were like this. I bought 2 day pass for $5 each so I could get some real workouts in while vacationing. No AC, no rules. Just lift weight and do work. I would tell anyone vacationing in galaveston to skip anytime fitness $10 day pass and go to this gym to keep the gains flowing
