Big place, lots of good stuff. Been looking around for a non-big box gym for a while. Ruth is fantastic. Very responsive. Getting into the gym is a breeze. This will be my home gym away from home when we come to Maine. Love it.
5th star = pendulum squat? lol

Iβve been looking for a new gym to go to in this area and was greeted by the lovely owner upon my arrival today & immediately went to cancel my other gym membership before I even went home.
I was really pleased to have met Ruth immediately as it puts me at ease to know who and where my money and support is going to.
The private single use bathrooms and multiple workout areas are so great and accommodating to all types of people. I really appreciate how this place is clearly a comfortable environment for all kinds of folks.

Me, a middle aged woman who just likes picking up heavy stuff π€ body builders who bring positive energy to the space
Cannot say enough about this gem of a local business. The owner is truly invested in it and absolutely cares about the members, and will go above and beyond to help when and where needed.
The environment is calm and welcoming, everyone is friendly and encouraging. You'll get a spot and a cheer from a stranger across the gym during your sets, gotta love it.

A complete GEM of a place!! Tons of cardio machines, weight machines, an iron playground with plenty of benches/racks, and two full sets of dumbbells. I never ONCE had to wait to use any equipment. Signing up was extremely easy and totally remote, so I was able to have my first work out at 9 PM without ever signing paperwork in person. The 24 hour access is a game changer. Ruth (the owner) keeps the place SPOTLESS and gave me a warm welcome via phone when I singed up to explain how to get into the building. She also made sure my two week membership didn't accidentally auto-renew on me. So considerate!! Super clean bathrooms that made it possible to workout/shower around my schedule in the emergency department. Plenty of storage space and a great variety of drinks to purchase on site if you need a caffeine/energy boost.
Price is SO reasonable and I am extremely grateful that it was at an affordable price point for a medical student like myself. If I lived full time in Maine and could make this my forever gym, I would. Thank you Ruth!!!

Smith's is a well-known locally owned gym in Augusta. The owner is pleasant and professional and works hard to make it a welcoming place. From the first time I stepped in the door, she was more than happy to offer a tour, answer questions and offer friendly conversation. The best part is that the gym is open 24/7, so you can fit a workout into your schedule at your convenience.
With private showers and separate rooms for weights, cardio and stretching, Smith's provides a great atmosphere. The building is MUCH larger inside than at first glance. Consider it a hideaway in the capital that's perfect for casual gym goers and serious athletes alike.

I canβt say enough how much I love this gym. The people are so wonderful and thereβs such a strong sense of communityβthe owner, Ruth, is an absolute treasure and is a huge part of why I love this gym so much. She is always going out of her way to make people feel comfortable and to give back to her members! I love the mix of equipment and the way things are laid out, there are many different areas to choose from depending on your goals and comfortability in the gym. She has such a wide variety of various bits and bobs to help with exercises, that I know I will always be able to find what I need! Thereβs so much space that even when itβs busy, things donβt ever seem to get as cramped or claustrophobic as what Iβve experienced at other gyms. I truly canβt speak highly enough about this gym, love the community and the facility itself :-)

We have relocated to many states joining gyms at each location. This is by far the best gym we've ever been to. The owner is friendly, enthusiastic and interested in each member. She's always on hand to help. The machines are great the clientele is devoted to the success of the ower nd each other. We couldn't go anywhere else and are completely satisfied. Thank you Smith's True fitness!!

Would have left a higher review but whoever had me cancel my membership gave me a massive ick. Said the gym did so much for me and others who had payments fail and they paid our $20 fee. Never been at a 24/7 gym with a fee that high and even if it was it was for clear overcharge, not pretending it's an actual FEE that THEY have to make lol. I went maybe five times due to life circumstances and they acted like they paid for my whole experience. Ew. π I used to talk them up, but never again. I gave them so much money and was good even though I moved away just to give them a year of income that they basically laughed at me about.

My wife and I are traveling from Sydney Australia through the New England area, and are staying with family just a few miles outside of Augusta Maine for a little over a week.
With fitness being a high priority of our daily routine we were both very happy to have stumbled across Smithβs True Fitness Gym.
This gym has everything we could ask for, a great vibe and a vast array of gym equipment and machines.
It is clearly obvious that the members at this gym enjoy this environment as well as it is shown in the respect that the equipment is left and the conversations that I have had with these members.
The gym is immaculately clean and very well maintained.
We are so happy to have found this absolute gem of a place to work out.
A special mention must go to Ruth who has been very accommodating to us regarding our short visit to the area, Ruth truly showcases a βMember Firstβ mentality and I would highly recommend anyone in the Augusta Maine area to pop in and visit.
Absolute 5 Star rating.

Absolutely amazing gym! Needed a gym that has day passes so I emailed them. I got a response from the owner instantly. Place is bigger than pictures show! If anyone is looking for a down to earth gym that has amazing vibe with a huge variety of equipment. This is the place to go! 11/10 would recommend!

I love this gym I can't say enough about this place it's not flashy and designed by some artist designer but the variety of equipment is wonderful and I greatly appreciate the ability to spice up the workout routine. Ms. Ruth is a salt of the earth Maine individual you get what you give with her but she won't ever disrespect you and is always social with any members that greet her. The iron playground is MY HEARTS Playground where I fell back in love with exercising and lifting. The people that come here are respectful individuals that are there to do what they love to do and some are super supportive I've never felt judged here. This is a gym where in opinion where athletes train I could see a rocky movie training montage being filmed at the gym with Micky screaming at him and everything not that there's any screaming going on at Smith's but there's a lot of sweat and grunts!

Too many fans. I don't understand the mentality behind trying to cool down at the gym. I'm trying to sweat, not relax. Floor fans, ceiling fans, rotating fans by the treadmills - it's actually crazy. You can't escape it.

This gym is great. It's like the old school gyms where they actually root for people to work hard. No Planet Fitness ring the bell garbage because you accidentally grunted when you pushed yourself to get that one last rep. The place was very spacious and the people working there obviously care about the people in it. I was visiting the Augusta area for one night for a job I'm working on. I called about access and a one night pass, and the lady I spoke with on the phone was incredibly nice and helpful. She told me my first visit was free and to call her to buzz me in if she wasn't around. Turns out, after I filled out the waiver form at the door, a nice girl who was going into the gym let me in behind her, and I didn't have to call to get buzzed in. Thank you to the nice lady on the phone and thank you to the nice girl who let me in. Bonus - the girl who let me in was very friendly and had a great smile. All of the above is very much appreciated. I hope people continue to go here. It's great.

Unprofessional owner. Even after requesting cancellation she continued charging me for another year of membership that I did not request. And yelled at me as I was walking out of the building. Very unprofessional. After Kevin left, the place has gone down hill.
Let me add in that hollering from room to room as a person is trying to leave is considered yelling maam

The owner is awesome! A down to earth person and truly cares for her members. The gym is spacious and clean. Members keep to themselves and are friendly. There are 2 bathrooms with showers. There is merchandise and suppliments for sale, as well as a generous selection of cold beverages and energy drinks. There is a nice room with cardio and weight machines, another room with exercise bikes and the Iron Playground to train your inner beast. The iron playground has a mixture of machines and freeweights as well as odds and ends like a prowler sled, odd sized stones, tire, battle ropes you name it! This gym focuses on body positivity through strength. Fair warning, you will need a dedicated pair of gym shoes. Whatever your goals are I'm sure Smith's can help you get there!

I have less consistency with my work schedule than most. Smith's True Fitness is not only close to work but is open 24/7. Thats just one less stressful thing off my plate. Great equipment and even better atmosphere. They also have a good Military discount and referral bonus. YOU should check them out and see what they can help you achieve!!!

Kevin has an amazing way of tackling both the physical and metal part of training! He is incredibly professional and worth every dollar. In just a short 3 weeks I lost 1.2% body fat and gained 3lbs of lean mass. I purchased 10 sessions up front and promptly signed up for 20 more. He is kind, encouraging, yet firm and pushes me to do more than I ever thought was possible. He drives me to failure which is what it takes to make gains. 5 stars doesnβt cover the service he provides!

Kevin has great specific training. He is knowledgeable in what he does and pays attention to detail. He is encouraging and motivating all while pushing you out of your comfort zone. Not only will he show you how to work out he will teach you what and how to eat to get the best results you are looking for. He offers a complete package and at an affordable price. So happy I found him!!!

I have severe issues with my back and Kevin has been awesome with helping to improve my strength in my core. His knowledge and coaching has been invaluable in helping to avoid further injury. Iβve been working with Kevin for three months and have seen awesome results in my strength and overall fitness. Kevin is personable and fun, but will also challenge and push you, so be prepared to be sore! So if youβre looking for a personal trainer that will get you results and take just as much pride in your achievements as you do, Kevinβs your guy!

I really enjoy lifting weights and training hard. I like being pushed to my limits but not made to feel like I'm weak or incapable. Overall training with Kevin is great. Very positive and encouraging but also pushes you to be the best you. Respectful and gets you results. Would recommend to anyone who is serious about bettering themselves while in great company. Worth every dollar. :)
