I’ve never felt more welcome and comfortable at a gym. I’ve tried so many gyms before finding the Basement and can say that the good vibes and un-pretentious atmosphere here have been so hard to find elsewhere. The trainers are fun and energetic, and absolutely know their stuff, I know I’m in good hands here. Can’t recommend this place enough!!

The most comfortable I’ve ever felt in the gym!
Everyone has such a positive attitude and is so welcoming, I’ve never felt out of place and it’s become a second home. They have the best trainers who are so motivating and push each person to their max, yet always make each session fun!
