Great old school no BS gym. Stopped in for a lift when I was in town for a wedding and got a day pass. Clean, friendly owner, and has everything you need. Thanks!

I was looking for a gym that was just that—a gym, not one of those commercial, all-frills places that feel more like a social club than a place to train. I had a membership at Planet Fitness, but I absolutely hated going there. Ironically, for a “judgment-free zone,” I never felt more judged in my life.

Then I found Covington Athletic Club online. I drove by, met Joe, (awesome person by the way), and instantly signed up for a membership on the spot. It checks all the vibe boxes for what a real gym should be. Every single person I’ve met so far has been awesome, and some look like they belong on the pro circuit.

When I first walked in, I was honestly embarrassed about how far I’d let myself go, and avoided going for 3 days. But instead of judgmental looks, I was met with head nods, handshakes, fist bumps, and a vibe that says, “We’re all here to work on ourselves.” The energy in this gym is unmatched—it’s all about putting in the effort, grinding it out, and getting your pump.

Covington Athletic Club is pure raw steel and gym sweat equity. If you’re serious about training and want a gym that actually feels like a gym, this is the place for you. Highly recommend.

We were visiting from out of town and they had a good price for day passes. Awesome gym for lifting. No posh frills but all the essentials and lots of equipment. Everything was in great shape. Super clean. Loved the look. Great place to get your pump on. Size is the prize!! 😂😂😂

Update Jan 2020: back in town again and this place still rocks! We knew we wouldn’t get into town until after business hours, so they let us prepay for a day pass over the phone. Look forward to our next trip.

Update Oct 2020: back in town for another visit and still love this place!

Update March 2024: back and this place still rocks. It has been rearranged and is still awesome. More gyms need to be like this. Wish we lived closer.

Update 03/23 - gym has been rearranged and it's very roomy now, looks amazing.

11/22 - Good gym. Has a great variety of equipment. Can be a little claustrophobic at times, but only because it has so much equipment

I recently switched gyms to here. This by far is the best gym I have ever been to, although the actual equipment is a little warn down and there isn't a water filler just a room temperature water fountain

Awesome gym! It's 24 hours, nice equipment and has everything you need. The membership is very affordable and they also give discounts to military and first responders which is a good cause. The owner is also a great guy!

Just signed up today. The owner is awesome. You could tell the gym is his passion and he wasn't pushy or trying to sell his membership, he let the gym sell itself. This gym is not for someone who only wants to see if the gym might be for them. Its for someone who is dedicated to making their life better one day at a time.

I have worked out at this location since day 1 of opening. This place is designed for people serious about working out. The equipment is kept up well. You won't find another gym like this on the North shore.

Joe Waguespack is the prime example of how to run a gym right! He isn’t afraid to spend the money or time to make his gym totally badass! You can tell he put his blood, sweat and tears into his business the second you step in the door. Awesome music, atmosphere, members and the ever expanding equipment line definitely make this the go to north shore gym. My favorite part of CAC is the constant equipment surprises from Joe that keeps me fresh and motivated to train! Keep it up man!!!!

Just a forewarning this review is based on a bodybuilding/powerlifting perspective . This place is awesome if you are serious about going to the gym ! It’s a smaller gym but has every essential machine or apparatus you need to achieve your goals. This place is slam packed with barbells and dumbbells. There is also a separate room for powerlifting, posing, and tanning. The gym has two rows of cardio equipment and offers month to month membership and 24/7 access ! Highly recommend!

We use to love our Silver Sneaker classes at Covington Athletics. Staff was so friendly and kind. Our exercise experience was great!! Club was sold and new owner and staff, not friendly and truly “NOT SILVER SNEAKER “ friendly. Most seniors have felt unwanted and have moved to friendlier clubs that are happy to have us.

I would definitely not recommend this club unless you are a body builder. Completely changed everything. Totally geared to body building.

It is dark, drab and crazy weird music.

I just felt it was only fair to let seniors know what this club has turned into before they go waste their time and money.

A nice 24 hour 7 days a week gym. There is 24 hour video surveillance and requires either a key fob or password to gain entrance. The owner is very nice and helpful with an issue I had prior to purchasing a membership. The gym is about average size, has plenty of cardio machines and weight machines. They also have a large room where they have instructor led group workouts during each week which are included in the membership fee.
