Great gym with lots of equipment and amiable clientele. Main drawback is the low level of maintenance of equipment and overall facility.

Was up at 3:00 am walking around and noticed this place open. Walked in and loved the setup . Shout out to Sam for answering all my questions and signing me up for a month’s membership.

Frequented this location for months, it didn’t have the newest equipment, which isn’t an issue. However, the 30 year old equipment that it does have is either broken, out of service, or it’s hanging on by a thread.I can’t say that I ever had a decent workout at the place, such a disappointment and a waste of money. If I was a betting man, my guess is that they will not be open for much longer, considering that there are other options for people to go to for about the same price.

Friendly staff, clean and wide variety of equipment to use. The place could use an update on esthetics and fixing broken equipment. Overall great value.

A very nice gym. For local residents only. With modern equipment. Nautilus machines, treadmills and stair climbers. And of course a plethora of free weights.

Opens at 4:00 a.m. on weekdays. 5:00 a.m. on weekends. It has never been even slightly crowded at 5:00 a.m. . There's about 20 people in the entire gym. However at 6:00 and it starts to get busier. The parking is right out front and free during the early morning hours.

I think you have to bring your own towel.
People are accommodating a nice. And plus there's a full sauna however I haven't used it.

Just moved to Hilo for three months and was told I couldn’t sign up for a membership because I don’t have a Hawaii license. Guess I’ll take my business elsewhere?

Outdated equipment for the price of membership, lack of customer service, place feels like a storage locker not a gym. Got to do better.

Reliable weight machines (less so treadmills; also, move them apart, rather than close machines for distancing). Never too crowded. Woul appreciate longer weekend hours.

This place is the real deal, definitely a bodybuilder-centric gym very old school tons of good equipment this is the place you want to go to when you're traveling it does everything you want it to do it doesn't have tons of you know crazy different cardio machines but every free weight body building option you could ever want there's even a studio space to do yoga and stretching and anything else you need to do in there there are showers also and you can buy a weak membership for around 40 bucks. Totally worth it if you're visiting the east side of the island.

If you are a serious weightlifter/bodybuilder, I HIGHLY recommend! This is NOT for the person who wants everything “just so” or for the person who is more concerned about the age of the equipment and the “commercial gym environment”. I chose to go to this gym while I’m on vacation based on other reviews. I wasn’t disappointed! The equipment selection is beyond awesome, you won’t find some of the equipment at your more upscale gyms. Everything is well worn and used, but very clean. No dust bunnies in the corners or along the walls. That says a lot!
Bottom line.....go if you want to have a great selection of unique equipment you can’t find elsewhere, and you care more about your workout than you do about having a spa like environment.

I just went into every major private gym in Hilo and this one is not worth the trip. Facilities are dingy, dated, and mildewed, staff is abrupt and unaccomodating, and gym policies seem designed to drive people away at first glance. Vast area of '90s weight equipment and free weights testifies to the target demographic: the place was filled with grunty young dudes and little else. Many areas are cordoned off with weird piles of junk visible.

Ultimately I went with Penn, just up the road. Better parking, customer service, equipment, and offerings. Save yourself the trip.

Everything you need from a gym, but dont expect A/C. Huge area of free weights with another section for machines. Cardio area along with auxiliary room for stretching and additional exercises. Sauna in the locker room with showers.

Downtown Hilo offers the gym. It is very old and smelled of sweat. Asked to use the bathroom when I toured and was not impressed.

This gym needs many repairs. The building is very run down and the atmosphere is stale.
Mens locker rooms are the worst with jacked up shower valves, families of roaches living behind the cracked tiles, and employees who sometimes take breaks in the locker room. What this town needs is a 24hour gym.

Needs a bunch of updating, its not a pretty place, but its very affordable and has a sauna. People manning the desk are always kind, and they have fairly flexible hours to fit in a workout whenever you want to. Its a nice place to go that's not pretentious.

I been going to Spencer's for YEARS! Opening at 3am Is awesome. Found out it's under new management and hours will be changing, not to happy about that as majority of us go & get our work out done early before work.After all these years we get this SAD news. It may finally come to a decision of finding another gym that can accommodate the early birds. This gym has a lot to offer for a great work out but their is a lot of repairs that needs to be made around the gym itself.

Half the equipment doesn't work, the fee is to outrages, for broken equipment. As well as the hours are horrible. Equipment is out of date as well. The place is need of a renovation badly. No real trainers that I have seen. The gym is overly hot due to no use of air conditioning nor just getting air thru the building to get rid of the nasty sweat smell.
