Southside Barbell - Morrilton, Arkansas

Too many members, not enough equipment
too expensive for the lack of equipment. The area really needs a better gym. The gym was once great, but has changed hands. We were randomly charged 10 dollars for key fobs without notice because the security system had all the data deleted. The gym is not as clean. I love that they allow kids, butTeens often come in and blast music with curse words. My daughter has gotten to where she hates going because of this. We have also had to purchase expensive headphones ? to avoid listing to music loaded with curse words. Several members are disrespectful leaving weights on equipment and slamming the equipment. I have included pictures of trash left on equipment, dust in the windows, and what falls off the mat area where people are supposed to do their floor exercises. ? the bathrooms have been broken for about a month now.

I recommend everything they have to offer! Great equipment, staff/owners, the members are like no other as well! Everyone encourages each other to be the best version of themselves they can and more! The atmosphere no matter your goal or experience is on another level and can’t be touched by any other gym in town!

I’ve been a member of this gym for over a year now! In the past at other gyms I’ve never made it a year before I get burned out. The atmosphere is different here and the people are top of the line. It makes you want to keep coming back!

Best gym in town. The atmosphere is lively with pumped music and people who are smart enough about working out to help you if need be. Dont pay for anytime fitness when you could get a better deal, better equipment, and better people to work out with. This place is legit.

This gym is the best in the area! It is not only a gym but it also is a family. Complete judgement free zone where everyone encourages one another to reach their goals! The owners are quick to respond and are very helpful! Highly recommend!

I am a pretty new member here. Haven't had any issues yet. Plenty of equipment to choose from. Onboarding procedure is smooth. There is a web page where you can choose your membership and pay for it. Just a couple moments later I had a text to my phone with my access code for the door. Easy peasy.

The place has not been extremely busy at any point when I have gone. Even when I pull up and there are a 5-7 cars in the lot, I still don't have to wait for the equipment I want. There is plenty of stuff to do here.

This place is child friendly. I bring my 10 year old here and they allow for him to use the equipment with my supervision. At the Morrilton Community Center you must be 12 years with an adult.

The price for a family plan is a little higher than the Community center, but there is added value here for 24 hour access and allowing for younger kids. There are tanning beds included here as well which is a HUGE value added service. I don't tan (yet), but it cost a lot for a monthly tanning salon package and it is included here in the regular membership fee.

I have not utilized any personal trainer. I am not quite sure how it works here. I have seen a trainer with people, but I have not yet inquired about it for myself.

Easily accessible gym. Can go anytime I like. I'm an early riser so whenever I get up I can go work out. As an added bonus the treadmills don't stop after an hour.
