Performance Strength Academy Glassboro

Out of all the gyms in the local area, PSA is among the top tier. Their equipment is the star of the show. It caters to both competitive powerlifters and bodybuilders (yes, there is a difference). Prime and Atlantis are probably the best manufacturers of gym machines. It is a real treat to see many of their pieces featured here. I was very pleasantly surprised to see machines from newer companies such as NewTech. There is a turf area for anyone looking to do more functional training. I gushed about the equipment here, but there are some cons I gotta mention. These aren’t dealbreakers by any means and are specific gripes I have. This gym has multiple lying hamstring curls, but only one seated hamstring curl machine. The one seated hamstring curl (despite being manufactured by Prime) is suboptimal. The pad that locks you in is placed below the knee. This doesn’t lock you in for a full range of motion and puts tremendous strain on your patellar tendons with higher loads. The design of that machine is inferior to seated hamstring curls where the lock-in pad comes down above the knee onto your quads. I’d like to see another seated hamstring curl. I think a Captain’s Chair for leg raises would be a great addition. There is already an ab machine that performs crunches in a top-to-bottom motion, but no machine that allows me to train the bottom-to-top motion. Lastly, I saw this from another review and I agree there should be an assisted pull-up/dip machine. Otherwise, this is an elite gym. I see that they add new equipment every once in a while to this location and the one in Hamilton. PSA is a place I’d plant my flag in. Awesome facility.
