BEV FRANCIS POWERHOUSE GYM
SYOSSET, NY
BEV FRANCIS POWERHOUSE GYM:
Bev Francis Powerhouse Gym is the East Coast Mecca of Bodybuilding — a 35,000-square-foot facility on Long Island, owned by bodybuilding legend Bev Francis and Steve Weinberger, named the #1 Hardcore Gym in the USA by FLEX Magazine. Now in its 40th year, the equipment mix is unusually deep: vintage plates and free weights alongside Panatta, Hammer Strength, NewTech, and MaxPump machines, plus dedicated powerlifting stations, a boxing ring, and mats for grappling and combat conditioning.
The walls are lined with photos and magazine covers from decades of bodybuilding history, and the crowd blends curious first-timers with elite competitors quietly grinding through contest prep in the gym's dedicated posing room. There's no spa, no frills — this is a straightforward, motivating, old-school training environment, open 4am to midnight most days and 365 days a year. A day pass makes this genuinely accessible to any traveler who wants to say they trained at one of the most storied gyms in American bodybuilding.
