Powerhouse Gym at 1307 Champlin Avenue, Utica, New York.

Clean facility, friendly staff and well maintained machines. The people who are members here are the perfect amount of serious when it comes to working out. Not so over the top to feel threatening but serious enough that there is little milling around or small talk.

I haven't had a problem with people taking too long on the equipment either. There's nothing worse than being in the middle of a workout only to realize the same guy is using the same squat rack that you saw him on when you first walked through the door. I haven't had to wait to use any equipment since I joined a couple months ago.

There are a number of classes to choose from as well. I haven't tried them but I've heard good things.

The perfect gym for intermediate gym goers.
