Lions Gym & Wellness Center

From the time I walked in, the co-owners completely treated me with respect. They were so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Everytime I walked past anyone in this gym they smiled. After researching more about the mission of the gym, and the owners ambitions, I am a proud supporter of Lions Gym. It felt so good to be apart of something with a purpose. I will definitely be back.

The best gym I’ve ever had the pleasure of attending. Both friendly and private atmosphere for any type of training, and multiples of equipment for every category. The music is always great, too ;)

Best gym in the country! This gym has great equipment, friendly people, and an amazing staff! I had a bad car accident a few months ago and Dr. Menya has helped me come so far I could not be more grateful. I’ve been to many gyms over the years, none compare to Lions.

LIONS GYM is a very welcoming environment everytime you step in the door!! Dr. Stephen Menya & Leah Menya are very knowledgeable & caring!!! They listen very closely to you as you explain your situation & concerns! One of my concerns was that I have osteoporosis & all that I knew was that chiropractic care involved firm manipulation of your bones. Dr. Stephen Menya was very understanding of my concerns & fully explained how his treatment would help strengthen my bones by strengthening & working with my muscles!! I have seen him for a number of sessions & I am seeing great results! My stiffness in my neck is improving which results in less dizziness. I am feeling greater strength in my muscles around my replaced knee thanks to his care!! I highly recommend this place to all!!!

This is a wonderful gym! It’s locally owned. Dr. Steven and his wife are friendly and helpful. They greet you every time you arrive. Not only am I a member, but I do personal training and chiropractor care with Dr. Steven. I have learned so much, increased my endurance and strength. My experience with personal has been awesome. Dr. Steven is very knowledgeable and explains well. He knows to exercises that will help me be my best self.

I really like this Gym! It’s locally owned by a chiropractor and his wife and they are the friendliest people. And it’s not like any other small local gym, this place has pretty much everything you need for any type of workout and that’s why I like it. It’s spacious and always clean. Every time I walk in either Dr. Stephen or Leah greet me with a huge smile. They offer a ton of services/classes too- I just utilize the monthly gym membership though right now and it serves me well. Lastly, I think it’s amazing that they are Christian, open about their faith, and even include some encouraging scripture on the walls. They don’t come off like they would press it in anyone else but they just show it through their genuine love for others…and that’s what it is all about! Great gym. Support local business :)

This gym is the best! Great equipment and atmosphere. Stephen, Leah and Kirk are so welcoming and always great you with a friendly hello. Pete and Ben from Revival Physical Therapy are also amazing. Truly a one stop wellness center.

Great gym! Compact! With great trainers!
Very knowledgeable, very helpful & great advice givers.
Shout out to Dr. Ben! He was who I worked with the last time I was there! Great guy, very nice, patient and straight forward!
Shout out to Dr. Stevens & his wife for having such a great, clean, consistent place to come to.

Lions Gym!
Keep up the great work guys!

Big fan of this gym. I’ve been a member for over 2 years now. They have all the essential equipment, everything is well kept, it’s never too crowded, & staff are super friendly. As I’ve gotten more consistent this has become my new “happy place”.

I have been a member of, or visited, many gyms in the Minneapolis area (LA, Lifetime, Los Campeones, etc.). Lions Gym is by far the friendliest and least frustrating to deal with, and I recommend this gym to anyone. Listed below are some of the pros for this gym:

1.This is one of the few gyms that have a deadlift platform.
2.This is one of the few gyms with DBs over 100 pounds (see picture below).
3. Extremely short commute for those in Robbinsdale, Crystal, New Hope, Golden Valley, Brooklyn Center.
4. Parking is available close to the building.
5. Open earlier on Saturday mornings than the chains (LA/Lifetime/etc.)
6. Personally, I think it is cleaner than chain gyms where people do not wipe down their equipment. *I also want to state that I sometimes frequent this gym after 8 PM or on weekends. I often see cleaning crews or even the front desk employees cleaning equipment and facilities.
7. The owners (Stephan and Leah) will know you by name and acknowledge you when they see you.
8. As a powerlifter, this gym has all of the equipment I might need. Plus, they continue to upgrade equipment.
9.A great way to support small/local business.
10. As I am moving to Texas for a year, I recently had to cancel my membership. There is no pressure sales tactics or judgement should you cancel. A simple conversation allowed me to cancel vs. LA fitness where you have to mail in forms to their headquarters and hope they cancel you in a timely manner.
11. There are no membership sign up fees. (Discounts if you sign up for 6+ months, however, no fees up front).
12. A great way to support small/local business!

Lions gym is one of the best gyms I have ever attended. I have spent over half my life in the gym at this point and have been a member at or regularly visited a dozen gyms. None of them have been like Lion's. I drive 4 times as far as my closest gym just so I can be a memeber at Lions and it is so worth it. I have a rather complicated name and Stephan knew it by heart by the second time i got to the gym. The Menya family and staff of Lions are the most down to earth people you will meet. They care about each person who is a member at their gym and routinely encourage and advise you even if you have never done personal training with them. (Plus sometimes their dog Lola is in house, and you can get loving affection from the sweetest pupper in-between your sets!)

Besides the owners, everyone who works out here is incredibly nice and friendly. It is difficult to get in and out without chatting with someone and having a good laugh. Some gyms say they are a judgement free zone, but the people at Lion's act and treat you without judgment. Actions speak louder than words. People are helpful and dedicated to bettering their health.

Besides the people here, the equipment is amazing. It is all well loved and cared for. People actually wipe down the equipment when they are done with it. The staff makes sure everything is in working order and do very frequent deep cleans of the space. They have everything you could need here. Cardio machines, free weights, machines, dynamic movement equipment, ropes, tires, sledgehammers, and crossfit racks. Everything you could need to get and stay fit is located inside the doors of Lions.

This place feels like home. People care for you and want to see you succeed. Here you are not just another monthly payment, you will be valued and cared for like the closest of friends. Do yourself a favor and get to Lions as soon as you can.

Lions Gym & Wellness center is a true gem! This is not your corporate gym where you’re just another member. The owners(family owned) and staff are warm, friendly, and will greet you by name. The gym itself is well equipped, always very clean and bonus - they play great music! Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or a seasoned power lifter looking for a great gym on the West side of town, I’d highly recommend checking out Lion’s Gym!

It's been a blessing to be a part of Lions Gym. The owners, Stephen and Leah, are friendly, encouraging, and truly care about their members. The equipment is clean and well-kept. Dr. Stephen's chiropractic care following the SIMBA method has produced amazing results after only a few weeks, and my body feels great!

I am so fortunate to have found Lions! Dr. Menya has completely shifted the way I feel in my body and educated me on what exercises are best for me. I am a big runner and also love strength training. I was having constant lower back pain and Dr. Menya was able to identify exactly what was happening in our initial conversation. He worked with me through personal training followed by adjustments that complemented the session. After working with him, I feel stronger than ever. It has been a complete game changer. I want everyone to work with Dr. Menya to see for themselves!

Th gym is such a great spot run by an incredible family. Lots of equipment, very clean, and a fun community of people.

Every worker/coach is personable and always is focused on your best interests and goals. They make you feel comfortable with vulnerable aspects of your workout journey and are always there to support you.

Are you looking for a chiropractor? Are you looking for a gym? Are you looking for a wellness center that has it all? Look no further! Lions Gym and Wellness Center is a one stop full service center. My husband and I as well as several of my friends have found what we have been needing at Lions to get our bodies and lives headed to health and wellness. I have been going to Lions for 2 months now and I can tell a difference not only my body but my energy level and attitude. My adjustments are lasting and my body is getting stronger. The staff is knowledgeable, caring and welcoming. I encourage anyone who is looking for a healthier lifestyle to check it out. You won't be disappointed!

Perfect for joining the military. Lion’s gym really helped me get in shape for the Navy. When I was accepted to be an officer I was given a serious physical test. Dr. Menya has actually trained officers, Navy Seals, and the like. He is a great guy who is always encouraging and knows how to great a workout plan for you.

The owners of the gym, Stephen and Leah, are super nice and friendly. They made me feel very welcomed. The gym has everything you need for a good workout and it’s always kept clean and well maintained. The personal trainers at Lion are awesome as well! Strongly recommended!

I can't say enough good things about Lions and about the owners Stephen and Leah. I have trained with both. They have completely different styles. Stephen is a Chiropractor and so he approaches things from a "where does it hurt, how can we strengthen the muscles so that it stops hurting" where Leah is a strength and cardio trainer. The gym is always immaculate! They pride themselves on keeping it clean and user friendly. Not only are Stephen and Leah great people, they are a great asset to Robbinsdale and to the fitness community

Lions Gym is an awesome place to work out, get adjusted and get advice. I have been training with Stephen for over four months and have seen a dramatic change in my body composition. They provide the warm personalized service that the large chains cannot. They offer many different classes and everything is customized to your needs. I highly recommend Lions Gym to anyone looking to make positive improvements in their life.
