- This could be my favorite gym ever. Bob's Fitness Complex might look like just another avrige gym from the outside but its far from that. If you can think of a piece of equipment they have it. And if they don't just talk to Bob and he will make it happen. If you are a bodybuilder, crossfitter strongman, powerlifter, or just the average weekend warrior this is the gym for you. You will not be judged and that's how it should be. If you ever get the chance to come you wont be sorry.
As always make sure you tag any gyms you want me to come to in the comments. I might just show up and pay them a visit.

On June 1, 1996 we officially opened our 20000 sq.ft. gym for business and I fulfilled dream of providing the community where I grew up with a superior equipped fitness facility that people can go to workout and get treated like family. I believe with providing the correct environment combined with equipping your facility with enough and the best equipment selection then anyone can dare to dream and achieve their individual fitness goals from young to old, athletic or weekend warrior. My team and I can make a difference in people's lives. I have sold many memberships where our facility was the first workout that members have ever had and everytime it reminds me of my past and how much responsibility my team and I have to each person that walks through our door that I meet. That first workout with us could be the beginning of something beautiful and great for that member.
In the fall of 2010 I decided that our business had grown in such a way that the name Powerhouse Gym did not represent what our business had become or the members that we service. So staying true to my beliefs and following my heart, I decided to change the name of my business to Bob's Fitness Center - "Your Neighborhood Gym". I feel that the name fits who really are today. I really enjoy the intimacy that me and my team can have from day to day operational contact with our members. I have always had aspirations of providing our level of service and equipment selection to other communities than the Bellevue/South Omaha community, but if in my lifetime, I only own one gym and it is our gym in Bellevue where me and my team can service our neighbors and our friends than I have had a great life and one that my family can be proud of me for.
Return To Top
I know that our members really appreciate being able to talk to me. As many of you know I am not pretentious by any means and I love our members. I really enjoy listening to what their thoughts, idea's, and concerns are about our gym. I love our gym and members so much that I will do whatever I can to ensure that they have a great place to workout.
In 2013 we expanded our facility by adding a 7000 sq.ft. CrossFit Room and a 3000 square foot specialty strength room for the Powerlifting/Strongman Enthusiasts. At the time we established a license CrossFit Affiliate : CrossFit BFC and our CrossFit room had every piece of equipment that a stand alone CrossFit Box had. After a 18 months we decided to drop the affiliate and open the room up to all of our members all of the time. It has been very well received and more of our members are exposed to different types of equipment and training. the Specialty Strength Room was put together for the strongman/powerlifting enthusiasts. This area is located in the back of our gym and some what isolated so that our members that compete in Powerlifting Competitions have the ability to mimic the Competition day prep. This area provides equipment from Elite FTS, HammerStrength, Legend Fitness, Rogue, Westside Barbell, Ivanko and Texas Power Systems. Any person wanting to train for a competition or just want to workout on what the pro's do, we got you covered.

I just read through the comments and I want to thank you all so much for your comments and support of this awesome gym. This makes me really happy to see such appreciation for guys like Bob and gyms of this caliber....bless you all.
mountaindog1 this is amazing!
I wonder if Juji and Tom know about this place🤔 they could make a hell of a video there lol.
BLESS YOU JOHN!
Thank You John for going there and giving us the tour and Bob for creating this Absolutely Jaw Dropping Fitness and BB Gym !!! this is my 2nd time watching this... my first time, I was literally speechless and my jaw dropped for about 5 minutes, I just couldn't believe that Bob's gym literally goes on forever !!!! And with the best equipment with the latest technology !!! FYI, I'm literally considering on moving there !!! the rents are absolutely ridiculous out here in the Chicago-land area.... like $1500 per month and that's just the rent... $60 parking spot fee plus about another $200-$300 for utilities. I'm actually looking at apartments right now.... and the rents in Omaha/Bellevue are absolutely affordable..... and plus they have Aldi's there !!!! yeah, that's my spot for my protein !!!! I just love those pieces of fresh salmon !!!! Oh yeah, I did see your Aldi body building on a budget video !!! Thank You Again... I'll definitely keep you posted John.... It was your video that made me want to move to Omaha/ Bellevue !!!! I have less than 4 months left until my lease is up... and I'm definitely considering of moving... for a year or two or three ??? Yeah, I definitely want to train and to become a BB, so, I was thinking of possibly moving to Long Island, NY Syossett, NY where Bev Francis Powerhouse Gym is at, I looked around over there, and the rents over there are just like Chicago !!! and then I was thinking, Oxygen Gym in Kuwait, I don't know anything about living in Kuwait, and also, the visa deal, apartments over there, I heard that you have to pay for the full year in advance ??? (that could be in Dubai ??) IDK ??) then the cost of flying there, and what about my car and all of my stuff ??? Ok, now I'm rambling !!! Take Care Everyone !!!
"Complex" doesn't do this place justice. It should be Bob's fitness World.
Plus he has a 14 free day pass. Many gyms don't even give a week anymore. You spend 2 weeks training there, no way you not signing up if you are into working out.
agreed!
So mad, lived in La Vista for 10 year and never heard of this place. How much does a membership go for here?
I live a few minutes away and work even closer to this place. Always assumed it was just another gimmicky planet fitness type gym's.
I have a garage gym and am training up for a strongman comp this fall, I will definitely stop by for that 14 day trial! I always tend to slow down then stop training over the coldest part of winter because it's hard not to injure my self when the garage gym is so damn cold.
@Bruco Alidas your not wrong, stopped in after work. Got the tour, got in that two week trial but I'll be a member by the end of this week when payday comes round lol.
Very impressed all around and it's about two minutes from my work and ten from home, the price is more than fair even before the discounts.
I'm getting my fob tomorrow because I want to be able to come in real early.
This series makes me hate my terrible gym even more
Right there with you Memento..we have Retro and La Fitness which isn't bad,but..it's no where as cool as the gyms we see in this series of greatest gyms
It's not the gym. Its what we are ready to do. Barbells, weight, bench and dumbbells are all we need to build a great bod. And tons of food.
This series makes me want to move to the U.S.
You think you have bad gyms? I live in fckn Germany. I have to drive an hour with the train to the next gym with a hack squat. And a Gym with more than 9 plate loaded hammer strength equipment is very rare. even in big citys like cologne. Could you imagine that?
@@niclasgleich3285 that sucks, doesn't seems like not many people are in to working out there, or maybe u can buy your own weights and work out at home, good luck nick
Rotator cuff Machine. My first time seeing that. The owner truly cares about everyone. It's good to see John showing these awesome gym
That really caught my eye, I have to tend to my shoulders carefully, especially the right and I do cuff movements with dumbbells by laying on the ground. This looks so much better lol.
Wow that’s incredible...and my gym can’t even get a safety squat bar lol.
That's because gyms owners don't have the same amount of passion as say Bob and others like him who care what they put in there.Gym owners today do it more for profit then passion..and you can't put a price tag on passion
If this gym was in NYC, they'll put every gym out of business
Same here in DC Metro area
They wouldnt allow a gym of such high quality and a strategicly thought out magnitude in NYC. How dare they truly build something for NYC residents like us who know we deserve much more than the 1,000 Planet Fitness,Blink (Planet fitness on steroid), Crunch and its Rich vs Poor membership gym system in addition to the 10,000 "Crossfit" and Barbell clubs thru out the five boroughs which i have no interest.NYSC, Equinox, The Y, none is truly original maybe features different here and there but all high to exorbitantly high and dont live up to their billing.Bobs gym is worth me booking a flight out to Nebraska for.
TRY Club Fitness in Astoria Queens had a free Pass and awesome leg work out machines galore.
@@BrooklynMoor lol remember everything affiliated with fitness and looking great with nice pecs abs and quads all started from bodybuilding.the truth of the matter is, a person who knows anything about working out would only need a barbell in order to get in shape
@@BrooklynMoor For what's it's worth, I normally wouldn't plug my business on a page I watch for entertainment, but my partners and I just opened up our Elite Gym in Brooklyn. Although it's not the size of Bob's, we recognized that the market had become oversaturated with the planet fitness/ Blinks on one end of the spectrum and the overpriced barbell clubs on the other. That's why our modest sized (about 5,000sqft) gym is equipped with Hammer strength, Nebula, Rogue, Legend, Elitefts and Life Fitness. We wanted our place to be a throwback to the local, more serious bodybuilding/powerlifting gym. I am a gym fanatic and having a place of my own has always been a dream.

I have been training for 45 years, owned 2 gyms and trained in some of the best gyms in the country. Bob's is by far the best I have ever seen. Incredible.
This gym used be my stomping grounds back 2013-17. Absolutely amazing gym, amazing staff, Bob is a great guy. Always clean and organized and well maintained. Bob wasn't there when I dislocated my shoulder, but I was in the gym a week later after starting physical therapy, and he made sure to find me and ask how I was. Sadly life moved me in a different direction, but seeing this video seeing how much it has changed and how far it has come, is amazing.
@@brainhakker7133 Yep still going strong every time I drive by
Bob are u even real... man god bless u... such a great guy who’s down to earth
bob sounds like a great owner, wish i could go to this gym one day
Very proud to be member of Bobs. He is always listening to member needs and wants adding pieces all the time. Also nothing is ever broken longer than a few hours to days. Always clean and oiled. The best!
100%!!!!
Live in La Vista, if membership isn't to much, I'm willing to drive the extra little bit. Care to share membership cost?
Sharpma35 not exactly sure what new memberships cost. Joined before some of the expansions. But I believe it’s similar to Genesis. They do offer a 14 day trial
@@stevehayden6645 wow! Even in the same ball park as Genesis is impressive. I feared it would be like lifetime out west which I've heard 80+
@@stevehayden6645 no kidding? I was a member at Genesis, joined when it was Golds and only left because I wasn't getting out that way very often. Hard when a trip to the gym is 45-60 minutes round trip drive time.
Looking at the place and knowing the rates weren't listed had me assuming it would be a significant hike and a tough sell.
If it's that reasonable I can stop procrastinating lol, I have a decent if tiny home gym but I know I wont do much work out there in the winter because its actually hard to not hurt my self when it's that cold.
We never have these in Hong Kong. We grind with barbells
,dumbells and some hammer strengths. You guys in US are blessed
Chris Wong .. i totally understand what you’re saying.. I live in the states an there’s gyms that doesn’t have half what this guys has... 😢
I don’t even have hammer strength man, just dumbbell barbells and a leg press. Work with what you got. Some people don’t even have gyms!!
Chris Wong you got everything you need!
gents I am not saying we are lacking here. Just saying you guys are lucky to have so many big gyms in the state. Been working out for couple years and results are good. Yet it would always be nice to hv such an equipped gym
James Niefer barbells and dumbbells are pretty much all you need
Hands down, the best gym I've ever seen!
That's My Gym!!! I'm Mad I Missed You There 😩😩😩
No way! Maybe next time haha
How long are you usually there each day? I could see myself being there for 2.5 hours some days lol
Congrats on going to a great gym...I'm only a little jelly
Hey Michael !!! Thanks for you comment... I'm literally considering of moving there !!!! Any recommended apartment complexes ??? Also, I know I'll be needing a deep water and lap pool, do you know of anything over there ??? in Bellevue / Omaha ??? Thank You !!! Oscar
Must be millions of dollars worth of equipment! Crazy
I know !!!! Each machine is like $5,000 to $10,000 each !!!!! my jaw literally dropped when I saw this video !!! It just kept going, and going and going !!! I was like in shock !!! I just couldn't believe it.... yeah, I'm highly considering moving.... I have 4 more months left on my current lease...... take care !!!
As a guy from the UK. This level of gym is shocking to me. Amazing place!
Bristol here. It's absolutely incredible.
Wow I just watched a 40 min gym tour... and loved it!!!
awesome right!
Incredible gym! Can tell John is like a kid in a candy store. So many unique peices. The owner really understands what a good gym is all about, giving back to the members etc. What a legend.
27:50 on my way to Bobs after seeing how amazing of a gym it is!
25:14 - What a nice bro handshake in the background. You can even hear it, lol.
And holy crap what an awesome gym - and a pure reflection of the owner. It just radiates integrity, professionalism, knowledge and care.
The name is deceiving. Imagine going "Sigh... Guess I'll have to train at this Planet Fitness-like place..." and stepping inside for the first time.
This is heaven, regardless of your preferred way of staying fit, get big or whatever your fitness goal might be.
Knowing something like this exists somewhere out there is like seeing someone fly a spaceship - and then looking at your hand holding the keys to your old, rusty car in the garage.
That guy had been following Bob and John throughout the video, almost as if to not look noticed too.
That gym is incredible. Bob’s passion is amazing. Thanks for sharing!
After watching this video I'm now considering moving to Omaha just to be able work out at this gym! Wow, what a facility. Congratulations Bob, amazing job.
Damn that place has absolutely everything!
Also wanted to say that Bob seems like an amazing person.
awesome guy!
So much respect to this guy building something like this.. The thought and care put into this is just on another level than anything I've seen.. This is a dream to see lol
100%
@Mountaindog1 just want to say, I’ve been bodybuilding for 10 years, and from watching you and your channel, I’ve picked up a few new exercises that I really love. Thank you for your videos! 👍
Love this gym, by the way! The equipment variety is a dream!
I hope this guy never goes out of business. He’s a blessing from the gym gods... I gotta make it out there. Thanks John and the place looks clean too 👏🏽
super clean
Nice informattional videos, just started my YT journey 42y old and you shows it is never to late. Inspiration 🙏
I'm 10 years younger than you and more or less started with serious intentions ten weeks ago. Hopefully us old timers can make big, visible progress.
A well-lighted gym! It's very successful for making the healthy mood and going with a family/a couple.
Watching from Scotland bobs gym is amazing well done .
Larbert where jimmy finlayson from laurel and hardy was born and grew up. and I love my whisky and haggis lol 🥃
Love this channel. So great to see someone whose seen and done so much in this sport still have a kid in the candy store reaction to new gyms and equipment. Keep on pulling and pressing, John.
thank you!
This gym is nuts... so many options and things to do. I wouldn't even know where to start.. i'd have to be in the gym 24/7 :D
The best series. Love seeing all the unique machines and the passionate owners share their story.
I enjoy these so much John. Maybe you could do a series about Americas best restaurants for athletes... 🤔
I would definitely watch!
that would be cool too!
Bob gets it. You can tell how proud and well researched of equipment he is. Awesome!
I want to move to omaha just to be around this man and his gym. This is the exact way a gym should be and the way an owner should be.
Drew Onoszko good job market, but winter sucks
Damn, I wish my gym was like this. I get free gym membership with Chunch fitness due to my job being awesome, but I would pay for an additional gym membership at a place like Bob's fitness complex.
That's by far the nicest gym I've ever seen. A lot of great equipment.
Wow what a labor of love. Beautiful. Congratulations on a world class facility.
Bob! What a beautiful mindset you have! And a beautiful gym, too! A total giver mentality, the same as John Meadows.. Good Job Sir! 👍💪
John didn't seem too impressed with Westside Barbell's reverse hyper lol. Joe Rogan would be disappointed haha.
I love this series. This gym looks like so much fun. I can barely even imagine going there every day!
Thanks again Mountain Dog!
I've just seen it alot, so it didnt surprise me
@t 5:04 Missy Elliott Bumpin'💪🎤🎶 in da' background.. get cha'freak On '!!!
💪😊 hahahaha!!! thanks Mr. Meadows that was fun.!💪😂
This place is frigging awesome..anything and everything relating to fitness.This guy Bob has it in his gym.Whereas here in Philly Pa we don't have that luxuary of having someone like Bob to give us the ultimate workout oasis.We have gyms that are so so..
EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr Meadows has again given us all a video full of passion. Love your videos especially these best gym videos. An awesome watch.... Maybe Generation Iron can learn a thing or two about this video and learn about what people really want to watch!
:)))))
Amazing gyms you’ve been showing John , so jealous over here in England . It makes me sad going to my local gym 😢
I have so much respect for him. I would probably over train every workout, there's so much sick equipment. I don't know if I'd go home.
me too..haha
Hawaii really needs gyms like this, very well rounded gym. 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙👍👍👍👍
Wow !!! my jaw is still dropped !!!! Bob wasn't exaggerating when he said that, "We have EVERY Hammer Strength Machine !!!" that place is HUGE !!!!! Once you think the tour is over with, you go into another room to a whole new universe of equipment !!!! Those atlas stones !!!
What a great gym and an amazing owner Thank you John Meadows for sharing this with all of us this was awesome
The best gym I have seen So far 👍❤❤❤❤❤
Wow. That's the most amazing gym I've ever seen as far as all the equipment. I've never seen DB assist benches and the forearm and rotator cuff machine. Whatever he charges it ain't enough. Too bad I'm in San Antonio. Bob! Come to SA.
Its actually really affordable. I've been here for almost 5 years and pay $43/mo for 24hr access
Probably the best gym in the world!!! Got everything you’ll ever need under one roof!!
yep
Passion. This is what built this gym. Wonderful.
What an amazing video...Bob's Gym is on my bucket list now. What a Good Man this guy is....has everything to be so super PROUD of!
Marine Mike
Those dumbbell assist machines !!!! I have never seen those before !!! and is thee Bomb !!!!!! I just may have to come visit and workout here !!! Thank You John !!!! and Bob !!!!
Hey john love your videos. Any chance you could do one about putting on size and continuing to build strength while working a labor intensive job?
its coming..hardgainer episode
I absolutely love this series
Thank you!
Geez that’s a huge gym be a workout just walking around that place man the machines are awesome stuff I’ve never seen. 👍
I never imagined such a gym existed. This is incredible.
I could spend all day in this gym!!! Amazing John..... thanks for this video.
Fell in love with this place almost instantly. Love this gym!
Awesome to hear thoughts of a business owner striving after his dream. Thanks John!
John I have never seen you speechless !!!😂 Bob ...What a nice man and humble . This gym makes me want to move to Omaha 👏👏👏👏John ... thank you for showcasing this gym 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻and doing what you do... damn all those speciality bars !!!😄😄😄😄and a wrap roller holy crap 👏👏👏👏
Wow is this the bodybuilding heaven! Love it ❤️ man I’m moving to the US
The people of Omaha should be very happy. By far one of the best! Unreal and I'm jealous.
The dumbell assisted bench stations especially decline and shoulder is practical. I burn a good amount of energy getting heavy dumbells just to lifting position i dread that.
you have to respect guys like Bob. You can see his passion and commitment at being good at what he does. And what a gym!!!
Seriously.... Bobs gym is in a league of its own. The place is huge and stacked
Amazing!
Thank you John for you always putting out quality information and good orientation ! I love the dark room though, it's ideal for post workout recovery !
Wow I wish I train there. Beautiful gym. What a great guy very passionate man. Awesome
I love watching all your videos brother! Thx for your insights and inspiration! STAY STRONG!!!
This is by far the best gym I ever seen... So smart in their arrangement and pretty much accommodating every single person from all range of sports
Love this series!
It's pretty fucking awesome! Ive been going to bobs since March, out classes planet fitness by a trillion! Couldn't be any happier about the quality 👍
Yep, I'm Moving to Omaha/Bellevue !!!! this is my 2nd time watching this Amazing Jaw Dropping Video !!!!! and sure enough, I'm just about speechless and in Absolute Shock about all of the equipment, all of the specialized and different equipment and I'm only at 24:30 !!!! Would love to find out if there are others who are also planning on moving to Bellevue/Omaha because of this Mind Blowing & Jaw Dropping Gym !!!! Yeah, I was thinking of the other gyms that John went to, but, a huge factor for me is the cost of living ??!!!! I have 4 more months left on my lease !!! I'll let you know when I moved there !!!
Wow. That place looks insane. God damn my gym sucks 😪
DAMMIT RHODE ISLAND GYM OWNERS!!! Step up you’re f-ing game😡😡😡😡😡... i just fell in love with this gym😂
This is such a cool series, John. I need at least a 1 week vacation in Omaha. 😂
Comment 2 when he talks about what it took to do this I was super impressed by Bob. I wish all gym owners were like him
Another great episode John Meadows. Thx for sharing. Incredible gym 45 thousand square. ft. Looking forward to seeing your workout video.
WOW! WOW! WOW! I must visit this gym! Thx John...YOU ROCK BROTHER!!!
As much as that place looks incredible, I feel like I'd never get any real work done because I'd just want to fuck around with all the cool gear.
Love the channel John.
thank you!
Holy cow! Makes me want to pack my family up and move into the gym. We can sleep in the theater cardio room.
What an amazing gym!!!! I wish more guys were like john in the industry, great work john, great gym bob
I go to this gym it is so much better than any gym I’ve ever been to.
John and Bob's gym are both top notch ,,, Class Acts !! Great gym awesome!!!
I am going crazy just looking at the variety this place has, Omaha is lucky!! Please, please, please, Bob open a gym in Plymouth, Minnesota!!!!! We have a company called Lifetime Fitness that has chased everyone out of town. West Minneapolis needs a gym like this. Thanks Mr. Meadows, another great informative video.
He has totally built my dream complex except for a few things love this need to visit
When i workout in my gym i always start and run your vids, taking a look between sets. Also i watch Larry Wheels, Steph Cohen and some other great athletes! Motivates me! Leg day i watch sometimes Tom Platz, haha!
Bob is a gentleman and a scholar.
Awesome
Makes me want to move there just to be able to go to this Gym! 😂
What a great man fantastic place, I'm so proud of him, he really cares Bob and John are grate guys, I would love to train there 😁😁😁❤❤❤
Definitely not like any other gym..
the choices is what make the difference between a good gym and a great gym.
Set the bar pretty high.. great choice of equipment👍🏻
I wish we had a bobs here I may need to move!! incredible human being with a big heart
Wow john what a gym it would take a good year or two to use all that equipment the owner seems very dedicated not to many owners like that keep these vidoes coming cant wait to c the next great gym u r going to
Really appreciate the way you two gents carry yourselves. I don’t know Bob, but I feel I know the Mountain Dog.
:)
That place is incredible!
Thank you for sharing all your content John. BtW way your training books are amazing. D
thank you!
I will visit omaha nebraska now just to go to this gym. Thanks JOhn & Bob!
Technically it's in Bellevue Nebraska but if you fly in it's practically a straight shot from the airport to this gym lol.
Oh my! Its like a gym city! That is one amazing gym
