Ranking EVERY Gym In America! (Worst to Best) 

Being banned at planet fitness is truly a Jesse James West moment of all time.

I’m the manager at the Anytime Fitness you visited! Thank you for coming, I hope you had a great time!

that dude outside of planet fitness is exactly who I thought would be working out at a planet fitness.

"This gym literally saved my life!" - D tier

You definitely can't judge YMCA based off of one. Some are thrown together pieces of shit in the basement of an old church on skidrow with like 10 pieces of equipment. Some are massive 3-story luxery gyms on the beach with an olympic swimming pool, water park, indoor track, basketball court, sauna, and like 5 different weight rooms. Lol.

1:45 Jesse's aura made bro tremble and drop his water bottle 😭

I am in the middle of the video and just wanted to thank you, I have been very depressed for past 9 months and today was very very harsh, I just clicked on your video because I love working out and your videos are not just grunting and lifting, I am commenting because you lifted my mood up , I genuinely smiled and it genuinely means a lot to me. Your personality is inspiring. Thank you.

Realistically. Crunch should be in S tier. It’s the best realistic widely available gym for normal people who aren’t loaded.

I have the equinox hudson yards level membership (global whatever) and I have to agree - the gym is always jam-packed, there's only like 4 racks (2 of which are sort of deadlift racks anyway), and the vibes are sort of so-so. People working in the lobby, people working in the restaurant, people working on the terrace. It's a solid gym, and the wild part is that they HAVE the room for like five more squat racks, but they just have open space instead. That, and NONE of the benches at any equinox in NYC have safety bars, so if you're trying to max out or PR, you have to find a spotter or just try not to die. But there are other equinoxes that are newer, nicer, and better equipped. Printing House, Rockefeller, plenty of alternatives. Hudson yards is just for the view, and definitely not for leg day.

The crunch receptionist letting u use the light thingy💪🏿🥳🥳

the lady at 23:18 tryna put the towels back while jesse is in the way

Being banned from Planet Fitness is like a badge of honor.

The last scene to this video is epic. The legendary home gym. Such a throwback…

11:38 -Huge forearms, what have you been doing every night -uhhh

Next video: Trying every commercial gym in the universe

Day pass for 250 is wild asf

Props to the guy that said "i wanna make your VLOG perfect!" 🔥

That ending…just loving it ❤ Great video!

lets be real home gym just beats all of these

I just realized Jesse looks like buzz light year

This was probably one my favorite videos you’ve made by far, it was cool how it went full circle for you and shows how far you’ve come as a person and where life has taken you Much love to you Jesse! ❤

3:46 That guy is a real one. Also Planet Fitness whatu doing?

14:34 almost every bouldering gym has these, they’re called campus boards and you’re supposed to hop up to the next ledge with both hands at the same time. Most bouldering gyms also have hangboard where you just hang to train finger strength.

The end, made me cry a little! This guy is genuinely a vibe guy!

“I don’t wanna be in your stupid tik tok!” 😂😂😂😂😂 I’m with homie 😂😂😂😂😂

9:40 that hat handshake was awkward af lmao

Best editing of all your videos so far :)

I was feeling nostalgic there at the end. The countless videos I've seen that were made in the home gym. Where Noel became popular and the best videos came from. Definitely #1 gym.

26:00 ah yes the home gyms i have fond memories of starting out at home watching Jesse and getting inspired to never give up

I go to the YMCA and even though mines crowded and the machines are old, the vibe is great and it has all the essential machines

I think part of the reason i could never get a "premium" gym membership like lifetime is it's just missing a lot of equipment that serious weightlifters need unfortunately, like the guy in the video said. It's more about the amenities and cleanliness than equipment

If you haven't been already, you should visit Alphaland in Missouri City, Texas

“I’m not gonna LIE, they BANNED U” 🤣🤣 Weaaaaak

ever since you became a gym shark athlete, you've been cooking

it is an amazing video there are so much emotions inside, huge work have been put to create this gorgeous content i trained in a gym for 3 month then i quit and start to workout in the home and i have been working out in the home for about a year with only dumbbells, pull up bar, resistance bands and with only these equipment i could get in shape and feel better thank you for making me remember this

That "they gonna think I robbed a store, bro" was entertaining and pretty jacked.

I really like this video, I saw a vulnerable side of you and appreciate that you shared that with us. Great message!

What a outrow man damn . Home is where peace, serenity and a sense of belonging is .

Love these ''trying gym'' videos been waiting for one, one of my favourite type of videos! haha

Fuck! Tears at the end. I'm 42 and you've inspired me.

21:43 thanks for providing the @ sir

Love the message at the end brother! Nice video ✨🤌🏼

0:26 well thats rude to a guy thats more ripped than you

26:09 im not crying you are 😭

7:08 broccoli gang! hahahahaha

Jesse is the best fitness influencer in this generation!

You need a part 2 and come back to philly to hit The Sporting Club at the Bellevue. Pickleball, basketball, golf, squash, turf, cold plunge, sauna, hot tub, and so much more

3:34 the timing of that and then what you said about nobody looking totally counteted it 😂😂😂

NEW JESSE VIDEO DROPPED

Yep. I’m keeping my meager home basement gym. Nothing fancy. Kinda cramped. But it’s where I feel most comfortable and motivated. Great video. Was a blast seeing all of the places you went.

Everybody saying gyatt is literally the reason that brain rot has become a pandemic 💀💀

High quality videos as always👏🏾👏🏾

Jessie ur channel has help change me for the better thanks for everything ❤❤❤ Also GYATTTTTTTTT

Bro really said "the number one gym is the one where you start, and don't let yourself stop" And he is so damn right.

I think the ranking is pretty spot-on although I do have a planet fitness membership and a 24-hour fitness membership I have been to other gyms including golds and when it comes down to it I keep those memberships that I do have just for convenience since I race and sometimes before race I just want to get a quick burn or if I need a shower but during their busy times I do not want to touch the places and if I had a gold's near me I'd probably have that membership again because it was pretty awesome being there as for places like equinox or anything that claims to have the biggest and best of things and has a membership over $50 even I take that with a grain of salt because more often than not when I've been to places like that the vibe is exactly how you explained it in the video the people come off as very snobbish and stuck up and in their own realm which I think defeats the sense of community that weight lifting has for most people. Overall great video

Rating music is stupid, everyone wears headphones so they don't have to listen to the music the gym plays, and when the music is too loud it sucks because you have to crank your headphones.

Crunch Fitness in Orlando is awful.. Don't fall for it

GYATT !!! Bro do a video of you doing judo pls?

did not expect to get emotional at the end of a gym tier list video!! awesome stuff jesse :))

He is the most extrovert person i have ever seen

S tier gyat

Having recently built my own home gym after trying so many commercial gyms. This video really resonated with me. Thank you for your fun and honest content!

Should've also tried Chelsea Piers Fitness in NYC, might be one of the top gyms here.

1 like = 1 push up

I'll do 1 for every likes

Respect for actually going to all through these gyms, putting in the effort and paying all this money. You earned a sub bro.

I honesty love my EōS Fitness!!😊 mines got a great vibe-rating as well!

Breaking up that sponsership with gym footage was clever and actually refreshing. Instant subscribe.

Jesse mate, you’ve out done yourself with this incredible cinematography script. Awesome video mate. From Australia.

Nobody talking about that one guy benching 315 for 15.

let’s appreciate jesse bro going to all these gyms just for our entertainment bro is the definition of hard work and a inspiration love u bro❤️

YouFit has the same color scheme as my old gym. I only left because the weekend hours sucked after Covid. Now at a Powerhouse and love it! Mostly because of all the olympic lifting platforms.

I’ll be honest I’m not much a lifter I’ve tried and failed so times I’ve given up but the videos u make man are just on a whole different level I enjoy em all

Bruh, my home gym in the garage had a mouse infestation and now the mouse are dead, and now I have a spider infestation.

Bro the end got me fr. Love you Jesse🤍

u have to try absolute recomp dallas its absolutely perfect. like 20 sqat racks/ deadlift platforms. hella benches and the BEST lighting

Movement gym looks like an S tier climbing gym

What snap fitness is to Jesse is what my high school weight room is to me

My local 24 hour fitness used to be open 24 hours most days and now they close at 10 at the latest. We should threaten them with a class action lawsuit

You should do this in different big city’s in a few top states.

Do David Lloyd club please

I've worked out myself at many of these gyms due to various moves plus traveling. Crunch HAS to be number one for the value that you get. Shower, sauna, locker room, full weight set with quality machines, and tons of cardio options for 25 bucks a month. Beats all of them.

Lifetime Fitness is so nice. Especially the water park and slip and slide. Def s-tier in my book. Really love the hype man haha.

I was not going to go to gym today feel little down but after watching this got super motivated to go hit the gym and feel the pump

América is not ONLY US stupid, it's México, Perú, Belice and more ❤

Dude thanks for the message, gives me the punch i needed to continue, the gym signifícate a lot to me and watching this videos motivate me to continue and try harder Thanks Jesse you are a role model!

“Dude there’s a place in the Netherlands that looks just like this” sent me 😂😂

hype man understood the assignment

Love this episode! That "finger thing" at Cliff is called campus rungs, a key workout "machine" (regimen) for climbers :) Another training regimen is called hangboarding, which Cliff should have the hang boards there as well. You should climb more, Jesse, it's a fun sport - would be awesome if you and Magnus Midtbo could do some collabs in the near future!

I’m a retro member 😂 not the nicest gym but it’s in my budget and it has all the equipment I need. My coworker is always raving about her gym she goes to Lifetime and the vibe I get is the same from the people from the Equinox gym.

as someone that trains muay thai, that gym is elite, it has everything

Does the last part of the video mean that I should not be ashamed for not having the money for going to the gym, instead making my own cement dumbbells, boxing bag, filling some bags with sand, loading a wheel barrel with them and lifting the handles? Or did I misread the conclusion? DARE TO ACHIEVE!

No squat rack? You better do a goblet/goblin squat with a dumb bell.

The ending was heart worming

“If you can lift and go to the pool its s tier.” Ive never seen a ymca without a waterpark in it. Not just a slide theres usually 4-5 large slides, a few smaller ones, a lazy river, and a olympic sized pool. We never went to the y for normal workouts. Its for all the amenities. The workout section is just for a tax break because amusement parks pay alot more tax than a gym.

You gotta do one of all the bodybuilding gyms in Vegas. Each ones has its own unique vibe 💪

Been going to anytime fitness for over a year man, and honestly I don’t really complain about is a great gym

Why did I tear up at the end 😂 another banger of a vid, Jesse. Thank you!

random jessica bickling spotting is crazy lol

That dude that hit 315 ×15 is insanely strong
