The Muscle Factory, LLC - San Antonio, Texas

Johnny Novo

We pulled up in Big Bros navy blue Honda Element and arrived in a nondescript strip mall, where the Muscle Factory was waiting.

I get inspired by these sort of body building gyms, as they are such a nice break from the CorePowers and Equinoxes of the world that I normally frequent... I'm basic af, I know.

All the plates are iron, industrial fans cooling the place, huge mirrors everywhere, it's open 24 hours, machines you won't see anywhere else, and patrons are about their business and just EATING weights.

I was probably the smallest person in here by 80 lbs, but they couldn't have been more welcoming. I paid a $20 day pass twice, and what I loved was they didn't try to sell me on joining the gym. I'm so sick of being upsold in literally every other area of my life.

Something about handing that crispy $20 bill, signing a waiver I didn't read, and being able to have free reign of the gym was so refreshing. You go to a 24 Hour Fitness and get a day pass, it will take you 20 minutes of small talk and having to fake like you're considering joining before you can get to working out.

3 days later, my quads are STILL sore from one of those gnarly machines that I have never seen before, and will likely never see again. Sore in a good way though... THANK YOU MUSCLE FACTORY I LOVE Y'ALL!

Excellent gym for all people! My son has gone for a year and has grown both bigger and smarter from the gym itself and a few of the fantastic folks who work out and run the place! At first he was intimidated because “most the girls are bigger then me” but he was amazed at the frequent friendliness from even the pros he’d see. Cool sport and thanks for a wonderful experience! Keep up the excellent work-:)

Dropped by for a day pass today my home gym was closed for a powerlifting event so checked Google for gyms near me and muscle factory popped up. Dude at the front desk was super cool and gave me a tour of the gym and offered me pre workout. they have all the specialty bars a powerlifter could need I saw Texas power bars deadlift bars and squat bars plus an ssb bar so I could drop by any day of the week and not have to skip out on any of my movements. Good amount of people in the gym but didn’t feel crowded because of how big the gym was. Will definitely stop by for more day passes thank you ?

Best gym in San Antonio area! Atmosphere is amazing and everyone is there is so welcoming and helpful. The community this gym creates makes working out a great experience. Roland has brought in top notch equipment and is always updating the gym. I highly recommend all gym goers to try this place out. You will not be disappointed!

This is the best gym in San Antonio! Whether you are looking to compete in bodybuilding, take your fitness goals to the next level, or simply want to be in a better environment filled with driven individuals - this is THE PLACE to be! The owner Roland is very kind and hospitable, the members are welcoming, and the equipment selection is the best it gets around here (namely the Nautilus Lat Pull Down - ooohh baby). Home gym for life!

I've been going here for several months now after deciding to leave a corporate gym. The overall atmosphere is great. The people here are very helpful and encouraging. The training equipment is well maintained and there's a huge variety to choose from.
