I was visiting Santa Fe on vacation and ran across this amazing gym. As a competitive Strongwoman it isn’t always easy to find a gym with appropriate equipment! I met the owner and he was extremely helpful and accommodating. This gym was the highlight of my vacation!!!

Not many gyms in the country with this level of equipment and culture. I love an old school iron gym and this gym is the quintessential example of exactly that. Extremely affordable for the weekly pass and definitely a major addition to my trip here in Santa Fe. Cannot wait to get back there tomorrow!

In today’s busy world, it is a gift to be able to pause and have a place to take care of yourself. Doing so in a gym that is friendly, respectful, welcoming, and with staff who are genuinely interested in improving your quality of life - is truly rare. Mandrill's is a special “gem”.
Mr. Martin has created a second home for many and extended the life of those who enter the doors. Santa Fe is blessed to have this amazing man and the vision he had to create an iron gym for all!
The vintage feel and attention to detail makes this place truly something special! Having a shiny, clean, respectful space juxtaposed with a real iron gym makes Mandrill's one of a kind!
Russ, Forrest and Mr. Martin are kind, knowledgeable, helpful, dedicated and....the dream team!

I was in town for a couple of days and came here for a workout. Real basic, low-key, old school gym. No frills, no thrills. $10 a day. It had everything I needed. The staff was very helpful with any questions I had. If I'm ever in town visiting again, I'll definitely stop by.

Awesome gym, very welcoming, and all the equipment that you need is there. The month membership was around $60, and personally as a broke college kid I think it was worth the cost.

If you're more interested in pumping iron than taking gym selfies, Mandrill's is the spot for you. I swung by for a couple of days while hanging with friends in the area, needing a gym to help sustain my powerlifting regimen.

Mandrill's exudes an unmistakable old-school charm, a quality that undoubtedly constitutes its allure. They've got every weight machine under the sun, including some that'll have you scratching your head like, 'What even is that?’. Welded dumbbells maxing out at 155, Hammer Strength machines stretching into the horizon, cable/pulley machines in all shapes and sizes – you name it, they've got it. Mandrill's stands as a veritable treasure trove for weightlifting enthusiasts of any experience level.

Martin, the owner, is super friendly and as welcoming as your grandma's kitchen. His passion for bodybuilding and keeping that 'old school' vibe alive might not click with everyone, but for those that appreciate it, it’s what makes this place special.

Went to Mandrill's for over a year until I moved out of state. Best gym I've ever been to, and I don't think I'll ever find another gym as good. Martin is a legend.

THIS IS THE GYM!!!! I’m in Santa Fe visiting and I needed a gym to deadlift in. I called ahead to make sure this gym had the space for me. $10 day pass and 1000000% worth it!! This gym has EVERYTHING and more! Some stuff I’ve never seen, some stuff I’ve only heard about. Dumbbells up to 165!!!! Fixed barbells to 120!!! Every attachment you could ask for and all the cool machines. Squat racks too! I wish this gym was in my home neighborhood!!!

Dedicated to intense fitness, Mandrill's is one of the best equipped weight-lifting oriented gyms in the Western U.S., and it is family owned and operated by a dedicated former professional bodybuilder equipped to provide expert training.

I have a, comparatively, stratospherically expensive Equinox membership on the East Coast and would trade it in a heartbeat for Mandrill's. Highly recommended.
