4. Iron House (Old Saybrook)

This Hybrid Gym with its graffiti wall designs is a smaller space but has a variety of body building machines and space for CrossFit Training. They have amazing owners and an amazing community! A very friendly environment to workout in, supports entry level lifters all the way to competitive lifters which is what separates itself from all the other gyms on the list.

5. Powerhouse (New Haven)

This is your classic bodybuilding gym, with its older run down feel you feel like you’re training in Rocky. This is definitely a more serious gym for lifters who want to do their own thing. Less talking, more lifting in this gym. Very cool space with nice red colors and lights.
