★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1The gym I would choose:To give perspective: I've traveled all over the US, been training for almost 20 years, hold multiple records, have competed on a national level in more than one sport.I've been to gyms in Dallas, almost all in Phoenix, all over LA, San Diego, New Mexico, parts of Denver, Chicago, and this is the gym I would choose.Is it for everyone? Anyone who enjoys lifting, growing muscle, Olympic Powerlifting, Powerlifting, and Strongman. (Do not limit it to just those sports as that is not at all doing the place justice, nor does that give sufficient credit to what would make someone good in those sports do for someone not in them)The knowledge of the staff is vast and they are good people who do want you to succeed.I really enjoyed Dayton, the Air Force Museum, Wright Brothers history, the lush vegetation, rain, temperature, and food... but this gym is pretty damn awesome. I look forward to seeing it and the people within it develop even further.

August 26 · AdamShould be listed as one of the attractions along with the USAF museum. Awesome facility, awesome people. Casey was a pleasure to deal with. I regret not spending more time in Dayton with a facility like this at my disposal!
May 08 · Ed NarayanI came to Dayton for 2 months as part of a surgical residency rotation and needed to find a gym to continue olympic weightlifting training. I stopped by the Dirty Gym on a whim and met Marcus and Casey and was welcomed to their gym crew. I quickly found the Dirty Gym was an incredible training environment, both Casey and Marcus have helped me improve my lifting technique and teach me the fundamentals of weightlifting as a sport. For visitors as well as locals, this gym has everything going for it regarding training equipment, coaching, nutritional support, and what an athlete needs to succeed in the sport. I look forward to maintaining the friendships I have built during my short time in Dayton, and continuing to progress in weightlifting with the help of coach Marcus and Casey. I look forward to coming back to visit in the future.
April 22 · Hollis HutchingsHighly suggest The Dirty Gym! Great coaches and all the equipment you need for strongman, powerlifting, weightlifting and general fitness! Great atmosphere here! Rather you’re a passer through or someone just starting you will always feel welcomed in Dirty Gym!
