Worked out here for just shy of a year. The facilities were always well kept, and I never had to wait for equipment to become available. This is your no-frills, come in and get it done type of gym. Sandy, the owner, is amazing and very quick to respond to messages and requests. Great location, amazing gym. They have everything you've ever even thought you might need. Highly recommend.

I have been at this gym for almost 2 years now, so I suppose it’s time to write a review!

It is a true garage/warehouse gym NO frills but all the equipment you could possibly need for mobility, Olympic WL, yoga, powerlifting, bodybuilding, strongman, CrossFit style, or just a plan good workout.

You won’t find a ton of treadmills or a stair master because the owners know there are much more efficient ways to reach your cardio goals. There are assault bikes and a huge outdoor area to run sleds, sprints, pulls, carries, etc.

Open 24/7 365 (which is how I found it- my previous gym was closed for bad weather which never came), never crowded, super friendly and no posers/ pretentious people. Almost never having to wait on equipment and plenty of space for all were huge selling points for me.

They allow and even encourage you to bring your kids, obviously want you to keep an eye on them. There is a TV in the lobby they can watch shows on. The owners love to see kids in there watching their parents work out. They too are parents and just great people.

Gotta LOVE underground. I went to school at Baylor, and Underground is where I went to get away from it all. It’s an awesome gym with very kind owners who will help you however needed. It’s also a great way to get involved with the community of strength sports whether it’s bodybuilding, powerlifting, or strongman; there are several experienced and well established members who will be more than happy to help. My only concern with the gym is that it might need to be cleaned on a more regular basis. Other than that I love and miss it.

The owner, Joel, is a former strong man. His passion is teaching people how to move without pain so that a longer quality life outside the gym is possible. Body tempering was new to me. I am absolutely amazed at how simple it is to get out of pain. I am 59 years old. In the last 5 months, I have gone from intense shoulder pain to no pain and can safely lift things I could not before.

I am not a member here but my husband just joined this gym recently and it is all he talks about, he has been watching weight training video for months now and each time he watches these videos he mentions how the gym he previously was at never had those machines, he his so excited because underground performance has all of those machines, bars, weights etc that he has been wanting to try and soooo much more! He also loves the fact that the owner took time not only to show him & his friend around the gym but also he took his time out to tend to his wrist that was injured previously due to him lifting! He speaks so highly of the owner Joel and his wife and he sees that they take so much pride and have so much passion for when it comes to working out, training and helping others! I am so thankful for them welcoming my husband the way they did. I am so happy for him to find a place that finally offers everything he has been looking for. God bless always!

If you want to try gyms out in Waco to find your perfect fit DONT GO HERE. It’s honestly really dirty and they have no locker room for the price you pay! They have some smelly leather couch in their “locker room”, someone really needs to retire that couch. It’s all I thought about leaving that place. Also this women got onto my partner and I for just running back in to wash our hands since we didn’t “scan”, BECAUSE ITS LITERALLY DIRTY THERE. Let me explain, we got our memberships, download the apps and we BOTH scanned to come in at the beginning of our workout. And just because we stepped outside and right back in just to wash our hands we get a text message, actually more than a text message, AN ESSAY from this women getting onto us about scanning our phones. That’s when we decided that this place isn’t for us. Lots of gyms let you pay til the ending of the month or a fixed rate so you could try it out, here you can do that BUT THEN they make you pay for a full month before you could even cancel. Waco Tennis Regional is FAR better for the same price! Even has separate locker rooms with hot tubs and real nice showers. I would leave this gym for the powerlifters.

Awesome place to train if you're a weightlifter and know how to train on your own. No frills but lots of racks and machines. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in the area.

Great place to work out. This place is the kind of place that serious fitness enthusiast call a real gym. With that being said if you like big box gyms that are packed solid at certain hours of the day this place isn't for you. Strength training, power lifting, strong man, CrossFit stuff. Not so much CrossFit but there are similarities.

Great little bodybuilding/ powerlifting gym.. stopped in on my way to Austin from Dallas. Older equipment but not complaining.. all functioning.. that I used anyway. The owner is friendly and responsive... you have to call to get in if you're not a member. Affordable day pass.

Awesome gym. Huge space with all the equipment you could need. Tons of racks, benches, and barbells. There are also some dumbbells and some weight machines. There is a large covered area with turf where you can use the prowler, stones, sandbags, DBs, etc.

Very reasonable daily rate you can easily pay online. Call the number when you arrive and they can let you in remotely or in-person

This gym is on a different level from any other in Waco. The equipment is hand selected for a wide variety of program types. The space is laid out with care. And best of all, the owners are very present and set a great tone for the community of members.

If you are serious about improving your physical function, at any stage of progress, this is the best gym around.

Update: Get in to one of the owner's movement classes if you can. Change your life!

This gym is a home away from home and I'm always recommending this gym to people who want to grow as an athlete or get super strong! From day one, I was welcomed heartily to a family of close knit people who are strong not just in lifting, but in character. I have improved greatly to be the strongest I've ever been in my entire life! I put in the work while Underground gave me the tools and knowledge to smash PR's safely and in true powerlifting fashion. If you have more specific strength or recovery goals, please talk to Joel Delaney (he and his wife Sandy own this gym) to get some advice. If you're serious about your sport, talk to him about the services offered at this gym. I've seen people improve greatly through his tutelage.

Best gym I’ve ever been to. I went here for over a year while going to school. It has everything you need and a lot of things you’ve never seen. 24 hour access is a plus so for all you night dwellers, you don’t have an excuse. Sandy is an amazing person and very understanding of financial situations. If you’re curious, just go in and check it out. Great people and a great atmosphere create great results. Best of luck to everyone there, it was great. I’ll really miss this place.

Great old school gym. The owners are incredibly dedicated. The dues are cheap. The members are educated and always willing to help. Every month there's new equipment. The owners are committed to providing the best and latest equipment in strength training for their members. I've tried Gold's Gym and Gold's Gym Express and they are fine as well, but Underground Performance is where you go if you're serious about strength training.
