As an active duty member of the military and personal trainer I’ve worked out in gyms around the world. Jacked and Jilled is one of the best I’ve been part of!! From the ambience and music to the equipment, knowledgeable trainers, and legit dumbbells up to 150 this is a real gym! Highly recommend!!

Jacked and Jilled has been an awesome place to work out in. We've really enjoyed working with our trainer AJ, who is knowledgeable, encouraging, and great at pushing us in the right way. The gym itself has a really solid mix of equipment and spaces and a fantastic community.

Joined Jacked & Jilled after being frustrated with using a smaller gym with fewer resources and am so happy I did! While I'm primarily a runner, JJs has helped me become a stronger lifter with its plethora of machines and free weights. I've hit bench, overhead press, and deadlift PRs at JJs consistently. I'm there ~4 days a week and look forward to it every time.
While there can be some limited availability of racks and benches at busy times, there are always alternatives, especially in their absolutely loaded machine room - I've never been able to not find something that fits my routine. The locker rental is helpful so I can keep some essentials there too.
The community at JJs is unmatched. The vibe is supportive and strong - I'm often lifting next to folks getting personal training sessions in, and the trainers are SO supportive and cheer everyone on. Lots of laughter, high fives, and hypes! Look out for the staff wearing jean shorts just for fun, too!
A few times I've been greedy without a spotter and had a to call for a hand, and literally anyone will rush over and help out while also giving you a morale boost. (Now I try to ask for a spotter when I think I might need one, and everyone I've asked has been super helpful!)
As someone who is not a powerlifting guru, I still fit in just fine at Jacked & Jilled and never feel like I don't belong. I'm stronger and more confident in myself because of them. 10/10!

A few months back, I made the decision to take control of my health and fitness, after a long time away from the gym. I was looking for more than just a fitness factory. I wanted to be part of a supportive fitness community. A friend recommended that I try Jacked and Jilled, and they have far exceeded my expectations. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The gym is well organized and always clean. They're big enough to provide all of the equipment and free weights I could ever need, but not so big that I feel like just a nameless client. People call me by my name when they see me. They have a great team of personal trainers, should you need one, and Lou, the Training Manager, meets with you to discuss your goals and does his best to find the right trainer to fit your needs. My trainer, Zack S., has been a great fit for me! The staff routinely checks in via text or email to get feedback on how things are going and whether there is anything they can improve on. I highly recommend Jacked and Jilled!

My amazing trainer is Zach Kang and he is an incredible person and coach.

I also had another great experience with couples training with Zack Stewart. Highly recommend this gym for personal training!

A place that feels like home. I attend Jacked and Jilled for strength training twice a week, and I can honestly say it's become one of my favorite parts of the week. When I first started 5 months ago, I was intimidated by gym spaces, but J &J have created a clean, welcoming environment that makes me feel at ease from the moment I walk in. My coach AJ is not only skilled and knowledgeable, but also incredibly encouraging. He pushes me to do my best with kindness and patience, making each workout challenging, achievable and fun. I'm not yet where I want to be, but I 'm definitely not where I started-every day I see progress, and that progress keeps me coming back. Thank you Jacked and Jilled , and especially my coach AJ for making strength training something I look forward to, rather than fear. If you're looking for a gym that values cleanliness, inclusivity, and real, supportive coaching, this is it.

I love this gym. It has great equipment, great people and great staff. My trainer Zach Kang is a total bad ass. I have a number of old injuries that I deal with but with his help I feel stronger than I have in years. He’s very intuitive and has modified his training to accommodate my limitations and still help me to be my best. I couldn’t walk five minutes without any pain and now not only am I walking pain free but I’ve started cycling again which I haven’t been able to do for a couple years. My P/T thinks he’s genius and I’d have to say, I’d agree. And on top of everything else, he’s funny and a great human. Love, love, love Jacked and Jilled.

Really nice powerlifting gym. They don’t have everything for machines, but the machines they do have are all Atlantis or Arsenal. Zack was extremely helpful when I came in and gave me a tour, and Duke went out of his way to help me with the bicep curl machine. All the members there were kind as well and they keep a very clean facility overall. Day pass was expensive but worth it

My Fiancee and I spent a week up in Maine for vacation, and were very please with this gym. The staff was very welcoming, kind, and attentive. We are both competitive powerlifters, and found that this gym was very well equipped with everything that we needed. I would highly recommend this gym to any powerlifter, bodybuilder, oly lifter, or anyone looking to reach their fitness goals. We both look forward to returning to this gym. Special shout out to Duke!

Decent place, been here about 6 months now.
Downside 1 - lack of AC and lack of ventilation, even during 70 degree days it will be 78 and humid in the machines room / in the cardio room.
Downside 2 - Price of $55/month is that of a full-service gym with showers and sauna, except they don't offer either one of those things. I think they are taking advantage of being the only gym in the area.
Upside - mostly good machines, clean.

Jacked and Jilled is a great fitness training experience. Owners Alex and Louis are running a first class gym: it’s well equipped, clean and friendly. As a Boomer, I was at first a bit unsure about the Goth look with all the black walls and spooky wall art. But everyone can feel comfortable here. My trainer, Zack Kang, could be my grandson (!) but he’s so knowledgeable and really focused on giving me excellent instruction down to micro movements, plus being such a nice guy, that the age difference just disappears when we’re doing a workout. After training with Zack for 6 months, I’m stronger, more flexible and more empowered. And for the first time in 30 years, I’m not worrying about my lower back. Thanks, Jacked and Jilled, and especially Zack!

I became a personal training client of Jacked and Jilled about 3 years ago. Prior to J&J, my fitness/exercise background mainly consisted of group classes. In the aftermath of a nerve injury, I found that such classes, while great from a cardio perspective, were less than ideal for strength training - they were too rushed, not allowing sufficient time to select an appropriate weight, correct form, etc. The problem was that I didn't really know where to go from there - I needed help. Thus, I found myself at Jacked and Jilled.
Working with Louis as my trainer, Jacked and Jilled has been exactly what I needed. Louis is extremely knowledgeable and crafts workouts that are catered to my specific goals, needs and limitations. Moreover, he is always well-prepared for our sessions - it's clear that he's not making things up off the top of his head. He keeps track of my progress in various strength-training exercises and checks in with me periodically to discuss my goals and satisfaction with our sessions. He constantly corrects my form and helps me avoid injuring myself. By working with Louis, I feel like I'm making the best use of my time in the gym.
As for the gym itself, it is extremely well-equipped and clean. I doubt there are many other gyms in the area that offer the variety of equipment found at Jacked and Jilled. The other trainers that I've met have all been friendly and helpful - J&J is obviously very selective in whom they hire. All in all, if you are looking for strength-focused personal-training, I don't think you can go wrong with Jacked and Jilled. I recommend Jacked and Jilled without hesitation.

This place rocks! The space is amazing and the coaches are wonderful! I have the honor of working with Coach Lou and he is the best. I was someone who did lots of activities but not lifting. Then my friend brought me here and I’m addicted and love it. It’s clean, has everything you need and more and the vibe is awesome.

The best gym experience I've ever had. Period.
Jacked and Jilled is an exceptional gym that fosters a welcoming, inclusive, and positive environment. As someone returning to structured training for the first time in over 18 years, I couldn’t have asked for a better place to start. The culture is encouraging and accessible.
The coaching staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and skilled at working with athletes of all experience levels. Whether you're new to training or returning after a long break, they take the time to understand your goals and help you progress at a pace that is both challenging and sustainable.
What sets Jacked and Jilled apart is the way it combines high-performance with an atmosphere that is never intimidating. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a gym that values both performance and community.

I hesitated to leave this review because I selfishly didn't want anyone else knowing about this incredible gym. That's unfair, because this gym is such an amazing place, and people like Lou and Duke and the rest of the staff have worked tirelessly to cultivate a real sense of community here. Never met so many friendly, encouraging, supportive gym goers, and I think that speaks volumes about the kind of place this is. Not only are the people great, the equipment is top notch, and it's obvious how much money is being invested in new equipment and upkeep.

After decades of being too intimidated to set foot in a proper gym, I signed up for personal training at J&J at the invitation of a friend a few months before my 40th birthday, and boy am I glad I did.
At J&J I found a professional and welcoming environment, with an impressive level of expertise and all the equipment a person could want. Personal training was definitely the right choice for me, as a big part of the aforementioned intimidation was even knowing where to start. Thankfully, Lou was able to seamlessly incorporate me into my friend's existing routine and created a comfortable and supportive environment from day 1, including regular check-ins and opportunities to discuss goals and progress.
Though J&J clearly appeals to the competitive lifting crowd, it has also been a very welcoming place for an older newcomer like me, thanks in large part to Lou's thoughtful approach and a general sense of camaraderie. As with any major life change or pursuit requiring discipline, attitude is everything, but I'm pleased to report that it didn't take long to start feeling and looking better than ever before. My only regret is not starting sooner! Special thanks to Lou - I'll see you soon!

I went on vacation a couple weeks ago to Maine, and I lifted here for a day. I am in prep for a bodybuilding show so I needed to at least check this place out.
Now this is much more a powerlifting gym, than a bodybuilding gym. However, as a powerlifter like my GF is, this place is a dream come true. They have all the specialty bars, plenty of racks, calibrated plates, deadlift platforms all the bells and whistles you would need for a powerlifter. The machines are Arsenal, which are quality equipment. Staff was also really friendly, and I'm from the Midwest so people generally are very outgoing here, and I was still impressed by their sincerity. Great experience all around!

I have been going to J&J for almost a year now. With its reputation as a serious lifting gym, it would not have been my first choice as I felt it was out of my league, or I would be judged. I could not have been more wrong! I have trained with Zack Stewart and Zach Kang, and both are terrific and incredibly knowledgeable. I am currently training with Coach Kang and he is awesome. He combines experience and education with humor to create an atmosphere that makes training fun. I look forward to my weekly sessions, even though I leave a sweaty mess. The results speak for themselves, which I am seeing. Body by Zach! The facilities are well kept and clean, and I was impressed with the sheer number and variety of machines. If you are looking for a place where you fit in either as a beginner or a seasoned lifter, J&J is a great place for you.

I’ve been working out since I was 16 - competing in running, triathlon and bodybuilding. Now in my mid 50s, I’ve moved many times and worked out in dozens of gyms. I settled at J&J because Brandon offers a training space for everyone, no matter what your goals are. The community is friendly, accepting and brings people together with the common goals of feeling strong, welcome and focused on continuous improvement in all that you do.
Thank you to owner Brandon and manager Duke. We love the vibe and the legit facility you’ve created!

Review from recovering crossfit cult member. Definitely not your sister's globo gym. Love this place! Lots of machines, free weights, and barbells. Quality staff and patrons which can be hard to find. No shaming and no random weird dude offering pointers. Just clean spaces and friendly peeps. No classes but once you find your own schedule you become part of the crew that works out at the same time and support is there.
Coaching is also available. Two thumbs up for AJ (even though he's a Marine). #goarmy

I’ve only been coming to jacked and jilled for about 6 weeks and it already feels like home. I grew up in Maine and just moved back to the area, having lived several other places in the world and been to many different and nice gyms.
I am not exaggerating when I say this is one of the nicest and best gyms I’ve ever been to, and it’s crazy to me that it’s only 5 minutes from where I live. From the attention to cleanliness, to the friendliness of the staff and patrons alike, this is the gym I’ve always wanted there to be in Maine and now it’s a reality.
Hands down one of the best gyms for powerlifting in Maine and maybe/possibly the best in New England. However, it doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner, intermediate, or advanced, they have the equipment you need to make progress in any athletic discipline. If you don’t know what you’re doing, the training is not only affordable, but the trainers know their shit. Affordable day passes and competitive, yet supportive and easy-going atmosphere. Do not pass on this gym.

I found Jacked and Jilled when I was looking for a strength training coach because I was having severe back pain that was hindering my ability to do my job effectively. I signed up for 1 day a week, as the thought of working out at a powerlifting gym was intimidating. But, after meeting my coach, Zach K., for the first time I quickly committed to twice a week, and have been training with him for nearly a year now. Zach helped me tackle my initial goals of being able to complete a 110 mile backpacking trip with no back pain, while also focusing on exercises to improve the pain I was experiencing at work.
Zach has helped me develop new goals, and continues to hold me accountable for them. Training with Zach goes beyond just weight training, as he takes the time to also talk about food tracking and macros. This additional piece has allowed me to lose over 20 pounds, improved my sleep, and has me feeling more energized.
Without Zach, I wouldn’t be showing up as consistently. But, I actually look forward to laughing with him for two hours every week. If you’re looking for someone to push you to reach your goals I can’t recommend Zach enough!

I can’t say enough good things about Coach Zach Kang. After about 2 years of trying to workout and lose weight on my own without success I came to jacked and jilled. Zach got me motivated and on the right track. He helped me hit my fitness goals. He taught me about macros and got me tracking my food. With his help I’m down to 164 lbs from 200 lbs in about 6 months. Each week he checks in how my cut is going and always is there with answers to my questions and alternatives to my cravings. I feel and look like I’m 20 years younger.

I am not one to write public reviews on Google -- or anywhere else, for that matter. But I am happy to proclaim all the reasons I love my Jacked & Jilled experience.
1) 24-hour access to a very clean, well-maintained, very well-equipped facility
2) Absolute professionalism -- every single trainer I have met has been friendly, helpful, and supportive. Whether they are your specific trainer or not, each trainer takes interest in learning your name, offering encouragement, and supporting your goals. And you will NOT be pressured to hire a trainer if you just want to do your own thing.
3) Mutual respect abounds: the members are as friendly and supportive as the staff, and are always ready and willing to lend a hand or advice -- while also respecting the number one rule of the gym: No Unsolicited Coaching.
4) I appreciate that J&J has a zero tolerance policy for unnecessary drama and BS -- and will not hesitate to revoke someone's membership in order to protect the positive, supportive and respectful culture they work so hard to cultivate and model. (Noone should have to worry about who will be at the gym and how they will behave -- and at J&J, you don't)
I could write a separate essay (and 5-star review) for my experience with Zach Kang, my J&J trainer and powerlifting coach. From Day 1, Zach has used his own expertise and experience to help me achieve my goals. He has always prioritized my well-being as a whole person, not just my physical fitness.
1) He listens extremely well, and is as dedicated to my goals as I am.
2) With his coaching, I went from not being able to do a regulation squat (even bodyweight alone) to becoming a very respectable competitive powerlifter within a year, flat-footed regulation squats included.
3) He has helped me navigate several injuries -- not only knowing the exercises/stretches I needed to heal, but also how and how hard to keep training during the healing process to keep improving and prevent reinjury.
4) He has helped me find just the right combination of things to finally get my middle-aged body to unblock my weightloss efforts and shed some excess fat -- without sacrificing my strength, energy, or sanity.
5) It is very easy to keep our communication open and honest at all times, and we both feel accountable to one another. We train hard, but have tons of fun -- and laughs -- while doing so. As a coach, if a verbal cue for my form does not work, we talk it out and he finds another one that does.
6) I would highly recommend him to anyone, regardless of age, background, or current fitness level. When you are willing to work toward your goals, he will meet you more than halfway to help make those goals a reality -- while learning and having lots of fun along the way.
I fully respect him as my coach, but also count him as a member of my chosen family. In fact, even though I'm there rarely more than 3x/week for 90 minutes, all of J&J does feel like a second home and a family.

Amazing gym and community. Members include all fitness levels. Anyone would feel comfortable working out here, from people just starting on their fitness to serious and even competitive athletes.
Everyone of the staff and members have been very welcoming and supportive. I haven’t worked with the trainers at JJ but have talked to them many times. They all know their stuff and are highly focused on helping their clients get the results they’re after.
Equipment selection is very comprehensive. Especially the free weights sections, which is probably one of the coolest looking workout spaces I’ve ever seen. There’s a huge selection of powerlifting, strongman, Olympic lifting, crossfit, and general strength and conditioning equipment. I actually think this place has every type of barbell ever invented. Weight plates are calibrated. Multiple meet-legal benches, as well as 5-6 power racks, dumbbells, kettlebells, various cable machines, dip stations, yoke, farmer implements, and more.
24/7 access, members can change music. Generally not too busy but I go in the morning. Around 5p on weekdays or before 12 on weekends it can be a little busy.
Overall: well worth it! I can think of maybe 1 or 2 nitpicks and like 100 perks to working out at Jacked and Jilled over other offerings in the area.

Hands down the best personal training I have experienced. After working with 3 other trainers over the years, Quinn knocks it out of the park. I’m learning more, pushed harder, seeing results quicker and enjoy the sessions which makes sticking with it much easier.
Highly recommend. This place is professional, clean, welcoming, and has lots of equipment I have not seen at other gyms. A++

TLDR: You should train here because it's legit excellence in every regard.
A little over a year ago, I initially looked into getting stronger when I started Brazilian Jujutsu. I found a barbell strength training program called Starting Strength that promised results that no other routine could match, and until then, I had been a cardio guy (calisthenics and boxing).
I started this barbell program at a local gym that had two rickety squat racks and cheap, bent bars--and after six months when I started to really get into it: I decided that If I was gonna spend hours a week in a squat rack, it might as well be a nice one. A cursory Google search later, and I experienced something I can only liken to "love at first sight." Everything I had read about online or heard about on strength training podcasts was there; it was a dream come true.
Top-of-the-line Rogue equipment (calibrated plates, racks, benches, and every accessory imaginable), the nicest bars (Texas Power + Deadlift, Ohio, competition squat bars, and Olympic bars), a machine area that looks like something out of a CBum training video (I'd never even seen a belt squat or tib raise machine before), a rad prowler, even a heavy bag and legit strongman implements like giant sandbags and a yoke.
The equipment is so legit that they hold powerlifting meets there every other month or so, and it's awesome that for just $20 more a month I went from a gym with one lifting platform and didn't allow chalk to a gym that has four platforms and provides chalk.
In my opinion, $65 a month is a bargain; I used to pay $80 at a Gold's in Virginia and it was a joke compared to J&J.
I'm not really a social guy, and I never have been, but I've never been in a friendlier environment in my life. This is the first gym I've been to where, when they say everyone's like family, it's for real. The trainers are super cool and helpful, the place is kept spotless, and I legitimately prefer being around the intense positivity over my actual blood relatives.
If you're in the market for a gym, and you want the best bang for your buck--or even if you just want the best, period--you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not at least checking this place out. Tell Duke (the gym manager) Frankie sent ya.

I joined Jacked & Jilled over three years ago as someone who didn't know the first thing about strength training and was intimidated by everything. What I found was a truly unique space where young powerlifters workout side by side with 80 year olds just beginning to strength train. Its above and beyond a regular gym with amazing staff, friendly members and a place where you can be comfortable with being pushed outside your comfort zone.

I joined Jacked and Jilled as an adult when I moved to the area. I felt immediately welcomed by the community. As someone who works from home and is newer to the area, the community here is a genuine life saver. It was the people who got me into powerlifting and I feel so challenged, rewarded and embraced by the thriving powerlifting community at Jacked and Jilled. In addition to the welcoming community, they have every piece of equipment you could ever ask for—from specialty bars and platforms to hack squats and belt squats. If you are looking to explore strength training and are unsure where to start, or are a seasoned athlete, Jacked and Jilled is the answer.

I joined J&J in 2024 looking for a better equipped gym. I found that with their predominantly Rogue and Arsenal Strength equipment. What I quickly found was an incredibly supportive community for people in all stages of their fitness journey. With the aggressive ascetic, the gym may seem intimidating, but everyone is welcoming, supportive, and is happy to be there. The members and staff take great pride in the space and it shows. Equipment is cared for, weights are returned, investments in the facility, equipment, and staff are regular. Jacked and Jilled is the balance of so many great things - there is no where else like it. Zachary Kang is a great coach both in hands on sessions and in programming.

Jacked and Jilled (‘J&J’) is an outstanding gym. The equipment and the premises are very well maintained and very clean. In addition, there is a liberal number of different types of equipment for the customer, from free weights to cardio to weight machines. The customers are friendly, and their ages range from teenagers to those well into their 80’s and equally represent both males and females. In addition, J&J’s customers are serious; there are few (if any) ‘posers’ or Instragramers taking their own glamor shots. Customers come to this J&J to get healthier and are focused on their goals, not necessarily to look pretty in the moment.
In addition, J&J has a wonderful and talented training staff. Having used one of their trainers, Lou Stine, for over two years, I’ve achieved goals I never thought possible; J&J has made that possible. It is highly recommended!

I have been a proud member of Jack and Jilled since 2021, and every moment of my journey with this incredible business has been nothing short of amazing. Calibrated weights along with new barbells with actual gnarling!!
A moment that stands out to me happened when I wore a J&J branded shirt while at Home Depot. A stranger approached me and asked, “Do you work there?” I explained I didn’t but was intrigued to hear what this stranger would say about the gym. This person was an organizer of a large fundraiser seeking local business support, and Jacked and Jilled was the only company to step up and offer assistance to make the event a success.
That story perfectly reflects what makes J&J so special—this gym isn’t just a fitness center. I’m proud to support this business and represent them as a member. If you're looking for a place that truly cares about its members and the community, Jacked and Jilled is here to welcome you with open arms!

The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They have a wide array of equipment and a large free weights section. The vibe here is top tier, musics always bumpin, and everyone’s on a mission. Excellent gym.

This is an amazing gym. The staff/trainers are incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, the equipment (machines, and free weights) is top notch and frequently updated, the training atmosphere is superb, and the facility is very well maintained. You can find what you need here regardless of what you go to the gym for, from bodybuilding, to strongman, powerlifting, olympic lifting, strength training for sports, general fitness, or injury prevention/rehab. If you are serious about your training and care about the atmosphere of the community that you work out, then Jacked & Jilled is the place to train.

Literally one of THE best gyms EVER!! I am a travel healthcare worker and I have been to a lot of gyms. Jacked and Jilled has a welcoming with some really strong lifters. There is tons of equipment and the perfect set-up for all powerlifting needs. The staff is extremely helpful and available whenever you need. I cannot say enough good things about this place. A MUST if you are in the Portland area and need a new home gym or are just visiting!

This is by far the best powerlifting gym in Maine. Multiple competition benches, squat racks, and deadlift platforms. Every Arsenal Assault machine you can think of. Great restrooms with showers, plus 24 hour access when other gyms are closed. Not to mention everything you need for someone just getting into working out. I highly recommend this gym and if you have not been there already, you’re definitely missing out.

Easily the best fitness community in Maine. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, but more importantly they encourage clean practices (wiping down equipment, putting weights away, etc) that keep the gym and equipment in amazing condition.

My 11 year old son has been going to Jacked & Jilled for a while now and we have only positive experiences so far. He absolutely looks forward to going twice weekly to see his trainer Nate. He has gained so much confidence in himself and his appearance.
The staff are all so kind and welcoming each time we are there. It’s always clean, and I like how it’s organized into different compartments and not just one large open space. My husband and I go here as well and I feel it is welcoming to all age groups and different fitness levels.
We are so grateful for Jacked & Jilled !!

I’ve been a client of the gym and the trainers at Jacked and Jilled since they opened in their first location. This is a beautiful spot but it’s also a “working gym”, a term many may be familiar with. There are gals and guys who drop weights on the floors, they grunt, they work out seriously. And there are also families, middle-aged homemakers who workout and use the cardio rooms. There’s something for everyone here & that’s what I love about it. I’m a gay guy (not that it should matter) and am always reluctant about gyms and whether or not I’ll “fit in” after a while and as I get to know the clients and owners.. after several years now I can’t say how much I love this business and its people. I’ve always felt welcomed and appreciated. I’ve met friends here I’ll have the rest of my life. Some of those intimidating “lug heads” are now close friends. We have dinners together, talk about our families, (all types of families), we spot each other etc. the entire vibe is like a family or community of friends who you may not speak to everyday, but who you CAN speak to everyday, laugh with, workout with, share personal details about your life and work with. In a world that seems increasingly dark to me, where people are not often at their best, I’m grateful for having found Jacked and Jilled. It and its owner have consistently embraced me as valued, wanted and very much appreciated and I couldn’t be more thankful for that. Yes, try it out. Join up. It’s what all businesses should be.

This is an update to a previous positive review. I was a member here for over two years until recently when the owner made it very clear they have no problem with hate speech and harassment. The owner will talk about community and the diverse clients, but they will do absolutely nothing if you are harassed other than blame and gaslight you.
I worked with a coach I really liked, made great progress, friends, and even competed in my first meet. Then recently another member told me that I should move up my (same sex) wedding because ‘After inauguration, blacks and gays are going straight to concentration camps.’ I told him that was absolutely inappropriate. He then later was in my space after I repeatedly told him to get away from me. This was witnessed by a manager, another coach, and several members. I reported this incident and had two meetings with the owner, Brandon. During these meetings he repeatedly called it ‘a badly timed joke’, talked about how hard this was for him, and blamed me because I had ‘bantered’ with this member previously.
At the second meeting I asked him where Jacked and Jilled stands on hate speech. His reply was ‘Look around, I wouldn’t be where I am if I encouraged it’. When I asked that he take a stand and share that hate speech isn't tolerated in the facility, he assured me that legally, he had already done more than was required to by just speaking with us. This isn’t about legality, but ensuring that members are able to work out free from harassment which he is unwilling to do.

Jacked and Jilled is an awesome gym. They have great staff, top notch equipment, and a really great community. Whether you're new to working out or are training for a competition, you'd feel equally welcome here.
My wife and I have been working with Zach as our trainer this past year, and he's been extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Even with our different workout styles and strengths he's been able to guide us and provide excellent routines. 10/10 would recommend.

I have been training at Jacked and Jilled for almost a year - I love the gym and the staff. I have never been this consistent at a gym in my life and it’s purely because of the amazing environment. I’ve been training with Abi once a week since I started and she’s the BEST. I’m stronger and more confident than I’ve ever been - she really knows her stuff and takes into consideration everyone’s individual needs and goals. She genuinely just wants you to feel your best!

Great place to workout with every type of equipment you could want for lifting heavy things and putting them down (or dropping them in some cases).
People there are super nice and the staff is friendly and helpful.
