Incredible gym that's set up for everything you need, with the soul of Olympic weightlifting (10 platforms), powerlifting, and crossfit. It's in the old Studebaker manufacturing facility which is so damn cool. The space has very tall ceilings with huge windows that lets in lots of natural light, two private shower rooms too. Good environment for men and women, you will find camaraderie if you look for it, but you will also be left alone if that's your jam. If you're offended by women working out in sports bras, a few guys without shirts on, the sound of barbells dropping on platforms, this is definitely not the place for you. I sought this place out because I'm an Olympic weightlifter, and although this place is 45 minutes from where I visit my family a couple times a year, I will be coming here every single time without hesitation. If I lived in the area, I would definitely get a membership and take advantage of the 24/7 key fob deal. The owner is super friendly and chill. The place is clearly his passion and it shows.

Been to a lot of gyms, nothing ever like this one. There is a variety of high quality equipment, plentiful barbells, Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, crossfit equipment, and more. The vibe of the members and staff are like nowhere else.

Great gym for training in various strength sports with high end equipment and nice people.

I had the chance to stop by east race muscle recently for the first time and had a great experience. I'd recommend it to anyone that's interested in getting stronger.

Had the chance to drop in while I was in town for a hockey tournament and needed to maintain my training schedule for Masters Nationals. This is one of the coolest gyms I've ever been in. Super well-equipped, obviously (though I was glad I had my own trainer plates with me), but the best part was the atmosphere. Everybody was really welcoming without being intrusive. People come here to focus on getting stronger and better and encouraging those around them to do the same. I loved being a part of their community for a few days. And the space is just gorgeous. Not sure I'll ever get to train in such a monumental space ever again.

I go in at 3:30am 4 days during the week and it's great I have all the equipment i want for my workouts and the group of people here in the mornings are always friendly.
The owner is very available and makes sure you have everything you need to get your membership set up.

Taylor and Nathan of East Race Muscle hosted the best USAW meet I’ve ever participated in in 6 years of competition. Their facility was clean, the equipment was pristine, and the event was meticulously organized. I wish I lived closer; I would join this gym.

Great gym with tons of potential. Huge building (under construction) and industrial feel with old school chalk provided. Not enough quality dumbells and a lack of cardio machines, but the number of squat racks, the boxing ring, and crossfit opportunities are plentiful. $10 walk-in fee was worth it, but be mindful that you'll need cash or an app to pay (no cards accepted)

If you're used to the purple gym this isn't the place for you. It's loud, people actually talk to each other and it's a little rough around the edges. The atmosphere is great though and it's full of people that just want to get better. They have a good range of equipment and even a ring to practice boxing or mma in. Also offers professional wrestling classes. Reminds me a lot of some of the older boxing/martial arts gyms I've trained in over the years.

I travel across the country to various gyms for my company… training at East Race Muscle makes me wish I lived in Indiana. Quality equipment, one of a kind owner and employees and most importantly, the environment is truly special. If you live in the area and need a gym look no further.

The perfect solution for people looking for a real old school gym. Has a boxing ring too. What better way to relieve stress and anxiety that to push weight and get a punch in the face. Everybody needs a good hardvpunch in face. It builds character.

My gf & I came up from TN, we're frequent gym goers. On our way to Indiana we called the gym, the owner; Michael was more than helpful, actually hospitable & invited us to come use his facility. The next day we gave Michael a call & he immediately texted me with an access # to instantly gain access. The gym is HUGE! & has everything that you could ever want. Everything was clean & well maintained. No mask, no problem. If you're a serious power lifter, bodybuilder, or an athlete training for a specific purpose, this gym is perfect!
