Prison City Physique

Prison City

Prison City Physique got its name from Michigans State prison, Jackson Prison. The owner also has multiple family members who work nearby at Jackson Prison. The gym has not been around for much time opening recently in 2015 and has just over 500 members to this day. They are located in a repurposed warehouse in a small city with only 30,000 people.

Competitors

Prison City Physique has just a mere five trainers but they have some credentials already. The trainers are versatile and are able to work with the typical trainee, or members who are training to compete. They have trained 4 competitors who recently went to Kalamazoo Body Building Championships and brought back 3 second place finishes and 1 fourth place finish.

Memberships

Being a member at Prison City Physique does have its perks. They have 24 hour access to they gym 7 days a week. This is followed up by sales on workout supplements such as pre-workouts, proteins, BCAA’s , creatine and more. They also offer training packages to members who have been apart of the community for a over a year, so they like to reward loyalty.

My Experience

When arriving at Prison City Physique I was surprised to see that it used to be a old warehouse. Windows and doors were propped open to allow a draft throughout the gym that was extremely humid and hot. The equipment and machines was great and I remember they had MAG grips which are very specific cable attachments that give the best back workouts. This was almost two years ago when I visited, so they were ahead of the game because now many gyms have been buying this equipment.

I had a great time here but I do remember near the end of my workout my glasses slipped off of my face and hit the ground. While this does happen often when I workout and get sweaty, this time they broke. Although this unfortunate occurrence did happen I did not let it ruin my time there.
