GP Athletics is the ultimate training ground from bodybuilding, MMA, and powerlifting to strongman, Olympic lifting, and more. The facility has everything you could need, and the energy inside is unmatched.

Michael Gallo is the star of the show a world-class trainer with unmatched skill, knowledge, and passion. Whether you’re chasing championships or just starting your fitness journey, he knows exactly how to bring out your best.

Where some people discredit for a loose toilet seat, GP outshines this with high quality toilet paper! Not some single ply cheap stuff.

Jokes aside, this gym has always welcomed me with open arms. The community and family environment is the best I’ve found in my 13 years of training in the 417. Their open gym on Saturday, free day passes (multiple), and buyout program, make for a seamless transition when looking for a new gym. The staff and athletes at GP are always happy to help. The gym itself is geared towards functional/competitive training. However, with the community aspect, it is also a great place for beginners!

For gosh sakes, FIX the toilet seats! Both are completely loose and one even had a bolt missing! This literally takes 2 minutes to tighten the nuts on these. There is absolutely no excuse for this! This didn't happen over night. It would have taken weeks to get to this point. Very poor management that takes away from the rest of the gym.

Pretty fair prices 24/7 acess. Family discounts.
Was 5 stars, now one. They call me twice a day with spam to update my credit card info. I moved a year ago. Called the manager they said it's a separate system and won't do anything

Awesome gym. They literally have any piece of equipment you could want; even the hard to find strongman necessities. Spencer, the owner, is a very down to earth guy. There is plenty of space too. No matter the goal: health, general fitness, bodybuilding, powerlifting or strong man, GP Athletics has you covered, highly recommend.

Today was my first day at GP Athletics! Many people said hi and introduced themselves. Michael gave me a tour of the gym and explained the amenities. The gym is clean and organized! He stayed with me during his 6am functional fitness class, checking my form while giving tips for improvement while I was lifting weight. Don’t be intimated to try this gym at any fitness level. They just want what you want, to feel and look great! Great job at making a girl feel welcome here 🏋🏽

Easily the best gym I've ever been to. The environment is so friendly, laid back, I'm greeted every time I walk in the door. The staff are so knowledgeable and eager to help with questions or suggestions like if you have a minor injury and need to modify workouts and aren't sure how, they are happy to help and demonstrate new movements. This is the first time I've gone to a gym and really felt like the people there care about my personal development and fitness, and I'm not just another number to them - which I didn't think I cared about (LOL), until I experienced it and now I feel like a part of the family (which is so weird, like who am I??) and it feels so great, I'm actually excited about working out.

I’ve been to a many other gyms but this one is by far my favorite. I feel safe coming to workout here and I think that says a lot. Staff are great and very helpful. I’ve spectated their power lifting meets and strongman comps and they’re ran exceptionally well. One of the best gyms in the four state area by far.

GP is the best facility in Southwest Missouri for anyone who takes their training seriously - whether it’s powerlifting, functional fitness, strongman or just wanna be the best version of you. The staff is very knowledgeable and polite during every encounter I’ve had.

Oh, and for being a mostly niche gym, they’re cleaner than any commercial gym I’ve been in.. and definitely any strength sports gym.

I’ve been going to this place for a while now and I’m confident in saying this is the best strongman gym I’ve been to by a country mile. Incredible equipment, plenty of space, respectful management, and the perfect environment to try a new exercise or hit a PR. Highly recommend for all strength athletes

I usually don’t leave reviews, but I would like to put this out. Customer service is pretty bad. The owner is pretty unprofessional, and low speed. As much as I wanted to work out here for the equipment, I couldn’t even make it in the door. The owner rarely answers the phone, and the doors are always locked. So, even for a new ambitious customer, their ambition would be quickly shot down. Hopefully no one else wastes their time and gas like I did

This is hands down the best gym in Springfield and surrounding areas! I’ve always had anxiety about joining new gyms or even walking into a gym I’ve been a part of for months but this place has changed that for me. The community is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Everyone is always so welcoming and the staff/trainers are professional and very knowledgeable. They are always happy to help with any questions! The gym is clean and has an awesome vibe to it. It’s become my home away from home!
Plus they have a gym dog so you can’t go wrong with that, he is the cutest.

I've coached and trained in many different gyms between Nebraska and Missouri. GP is hands down the best gym in Springfield, the Ozark region, and I would put it up against any gym in the midwest. GP has everything for sport specific athletes, fitness athletes, or the general fitness population to train ANYTIME they want.

The selection of equipment gives any serious sport or fitness athlete the ability to train across different modalities, helping you train away weakness' in your fitness. You can see the time and effort Spencer, Abby, and his staff put into the gym to make it the special place that it is.

Just did my first powerlifting meet here last weekend. The guys over there helped me prepare for the meet a few weeks prior, and it was really awesome. I learned a lot from just one personal training session with Patrick and Spencer, and now I'm doing online coaching with Patrick. I would definitely recommend that anyone in the Springfield area go over to gpathletics and give strength training, powerlifting, fitness, or strongman a try! It's a growth mentality environment and everyone there wants to help you achieve your goals!

Best gym in Springfield and all of the Ozarks. It doesn’t matter if it’s your first time in a gym or you have been lifting for years the places has everything. They have great personal trainers who have help tons of people across the area get into the best shape of their lives. It’s a place that builds you up and encourages you to reach your goals. You can really do it all here. One of the best benefits is the community the gym has. Every member welcomes you and is always will to help. You are more than a number here.

Need personal training? They got that.

A place to powerlift? The got all the competition equipment you could ever need.

General fitness? All kinds of cardio equipment and lots of strength training tools.

Strongman? Atlas Stones, yokes, farmer handles, barbells, huge tires, ect..

You name it GP has it

I love GP. Spencer and Patrick have a great thing going. GP has a great selection of equipment, and can accommodate just about every type of athlete, strength or otherwise, who walks through the door. But what's best about GP is the atmosphere and environment. Everyone, including other members, is super nice and inviting, and everyone is eager to help each other. This is a great spot for anyone looking to improve his or her quality of life, get stronger, and perform better.

Finding Patrick for a personal trainer for strength training was such a blessing. As someone who teaches group classes somewhere else I needed a few workouts a week focused on me, outside of my normal gym environment and without me being the one to plan the workout. Patrick is amazing! Great workouts and always prompt, bringing a good workout and kind and caring. I recommend him to everyone I know looking for a personal trainer.
All of the folks here begin to feel like family after a little while and it's a very cohesive group as a result. Be sure to say hi to Wyatt the gym pup when you go!

Spencer Graham has been an amazing trainer. My wife and I had worked with several other trainers in and around Springfield. None of them come close to Spencer's level of professionalism and attention to our individualized training and nutritional programs. The results have been phenomal. We both highly highly recommend him to anyone wanting real results.

I have been training with Spencer Graham the last three months and have seen a significant change. He takes time to figure out your needs and what he will need to do in order to get you there. At times that I feel like giving up he pushes me and tells me that I can do it. So, when I do leave there at the end of training I feel accomplished and satisfied. Would certainly recommend him as a trainer.
