You don’t have to look far from the neighborhood for proper racks, free weights, aimless January crowds, and stuffy big box gym rules. Astro Gym on Ridge Ave is the closest serious strength facility to Fairmount, the Art Museum District, and all of 19130 — open 24/7, never crowded, chalk allowed, and built for people who actually move weight.

Your Favorite Gym for Powerlifting

If you live in 19130, you already know there are multiple big box gyms that are designed for the January resolution, not for you. They don't want you chalking up, dropping plates, and they have too many aloof guests taking up what you need. That isn't Astro Gym. While not exclusive to weightlifters, our community embraces and understands your needs.

We have a couple squat racks, weight plates ready to load, a hack squat, leg extension, leg press, and curl machines, cables, free weights, boxes, bands, balls, etc. We won't stop you from finally hitting the numbers you want. We're steps away from 19130 at 1357 Ridge Ave.
