Bev Francis is one of my favorite bodybuilders from back in the day, alongside Christa Bauch, Denise Hoshor & Denise Rutkowski. ❤

[@annhogan7120]

How many times does John say “this is my favourite”. He’s like a kid in a candy store. Good to see his enthusiasm. Made me laugh.

[@mountaindog1]

[@thomasowens4844]

Real gymrats and gym nerds are like that when they see equipment they like

[@D.Boon1]

Seeing John light up talking about gym equipment is super motivating, it’s all about the journey!

[@mountaindog1]

it is!

[@danp8309]

I wish more gyms had the belt squat machine.

[@tuantranthai6521]

R.I.P. champ😣

[@rahsaansimmons337]

This is my former gym when I still lived in NY. Best gym ever. That's what I miss the most about not living there anymore.

[@InspiredFortunes]

My salute to the men of culture who also enjoy seeing gym equipment from other places.

[@symqual1774]

We can enjoy a considerable amount of benefits from these machines which is easy to fix the strict form. Your guidance with the demonstrations and the talk-session are so exciting!

[@jimmachakcom]

We flew out a few years back to train here for a week and Steve and Bev treated us so nice.... got a posing session in with Steve and it was the coolest experience of my entire career. This is a great place!

[@Johnjay610]

Kev English is a good dude. Old childhood neighbor of mine. Use to train with his younger brother. Good ol days.

i got to train there for a week back in 1995, i was so stoked to train there - was a dream come true but now from what i've heard it's not the same

[@reyesmartinez512]

It looks now Hollywood plastic fantastic gym.

[@sevrent2811]

Its almost like planet fitness now except there’s no lunk alarm lmao. H

[@travismcdonald6576]

[@stingray4780]

God bless you John! Thanks Steve!

[@mikehammer2408]

This was my home gym when I lived on Long Island. Loved it Every piece of equipment imaginable.

[@ryankproductions7943]

John is still one of the good guys in the industry, refreshing to watch his videos, keep up the great work!!

[@jpcascante4446]

thanks for the tour for us people leaving far way, loving the gym, their equipment and just the sounds of dumbels and plates at the back!!! just perfect raw environment... Its fantastic to see all machines and lets say new suff and training content as always entertaining and educative thanks a lot Jhon!!

[@rossbrown6029]

That squat pro machine looks awesome, but my favourite piece of leg equipment is the A-Frame belt squat. Excellent for overloading the quads without the risk of injury to your shoulders and takes the pressure off the lower back. Has helped me improve my overall squat and increased the size of my legs!

[@aliciacasborne2414]

And just like that, my Friday just got an extra dose of awesomeness! Thanks Mountain Dog

[@mountaindog1]

you bet :)

[@cj-nyc2057]

Bevs is great. Long Island !!!

[@mikemcniel3086]

9:20 my favorite back machines 12:30 that is a brilliant addition to that calf machine

[@Vikingmuscle1]

Yes! Always wanted to see a full walk through of this gym. Always see clips but never the whole gym. Thanks John!

[@Phapa93]

Peffer’s athletic club in Scranton. An old school hardcore gym I was fortunate enough to visit. The owner ( Frank Peffer) is awesome to talk to and has a wealth of knowledge. He actually made half of the equipment in the gym.

[@ahmadfarrall2097]

I live in a small city Perth Western Australia, I saw a young girl coming out of a gym and walking up the road, she was wearing a Bev Francis hoodie. I stopped her and asked where she got it from. She told me her and her husband had been to powerhouse gym in NY. wow that’s great, a dream of mine.

[@michaeldevore1003]

My home gym is up there with some of the best gyms in the country for sure! Another awesome video John!

[@dansmith9724]

I just feel inadequate. My home gym has a power rack, a bench, a pulldown/cable row and hyperextension and one big arse adjustable db i can load up for DBRows and oly bars. Has nice smell of mower fuel, a few spiders and enough dirt on the floor to give it character. Only ever 70s music played in it.

[@johnswaim3919]

Sounds like a dream gym, a real GYM. Seriously. They're hard to come by.

[@dansmith9724]

@@johnswaim3919 Dinosaur gym👍

[@dickJohnsonpeter]

Hey it's got a rack you're 90% covered right there. A rack and dumbells and you're good to go. If you have a cable machine that's a bonus!

[@dansmith9724]

@@dickJohnsonpeter Yep im happy with what ive got. Some of those machines John uses look pretty cool. I havent been in a gym other than my shed for probably 20years and nack then most machine were crappy other than pulldowns and cable rows. If i had a gym membership i just hand around the squst rack and deadlift platform anyway lol. Cheers mate🍻

[@sicfukferrara8002]

[@arthurbarrios888]

[@dfernandez3482]

14:14 there's a gym at my Mom's village in the Philippines that has a leg press similar to that except theirs has a diamond plate platform instead of plain rubber or grip tape platform. I was the first cousin to show my cousins that leg pressing 600 is possible and pressing 300 in the off brand hammer strength chest press is possible 🇵🇭💪😎

[@ralfnuggs165]

Legging pressing 600lbs? Not impressive to me at all. I could do that 8-12 reps on a good day within my first year of training. Now 300 on the chest press machine. Crazzzzzzy! I still can’t do that and my chest is actually my best area

[@dfernandez3482]

@@ralfnuggs165 i only go 600 because if I go heavier than that I feel like my knees would explode and I get bad ass heartburn 😂

[@richardelchoness1057]

dude keep up the great work. maybe one day I'll get there. In my late 30s so dunno

[@marcosillustrates]

Im loving these gym tour videos. I actually like to go to multiple gyms just to try out the different equipment and overall gym vibes for fun. I found that hardcore gyms are still around.....they just arent near the beach looking pretty like golds. I feel like a child in a candy store just browsing the equpiment and get happy when i use a machine that feels like it was built just for me hahaha. Give a heads up when you go to dave Fischers powerhouse again so i can go have a picture haha

[@mountaindog1]

love that place!

[@johnnyeco280]

This was a great tour of an iconic gym 🙌🏼 Unfortunately, the brand name franchise gyms do not carry the older machines that us "mature" trainers love. Gotta love Nautilus lat pull-down. that is one machine that can change your body & quickly. The interview with Steve was great. Seems like a straight down the line kinda guy...
