"One of the best powerlifting gyms around. Top quality equipment, plenty of racks and platforms, and a strong community of lifters who are serious about training. The environment pushes you to work harder every time you walk in. If you want to try it out, come in for a day pass!"

"I can say that everytime I come back home to Chicago, this is definitely the home gym I always visit. Amazing people, great environment, and you will be pushed to your best abilities here. Also, very accepting of anyone at any level that wants to get into fitness. I would recommend 5W to anyone that is looking to start their lifting or fitness journey, you will not be disappointed 🔥"

"5W is hands down the best gym in the Chicago area. With a focus on powerlifting, coaching that’s offered to people with various goals, and an electric and close-knit community, 5W is a place to train for anybody and everybody. No matter where you’re starting at or what your level in the gym is, coming into this space you are guaranteed to feel at home. With the short time that I’ve spent here at 5W, the owners Weilin and Danny have helped me to feel at home away from home. With the extensive equipment they offer and the help/guidance they’ve provided, I’ve been able to become not only a better powerlifter, but a better person all together. If you ever need a place to train in the city or are looking to visit an all inclusive gym, go to 5W and experience it for yourself."
