As an out-of-towner who periodically visits Lexington for NGA bodybuilding competitions, Fords Fitness has become my go-to gym whenever I’m in town. After my initial visit, the check-in process became absolutely seamless, which makes it incredibly convenient when you’re traveling for a show weekend. This is perhaps the largest, most spacious and well-equipped facility I’ve ever trained at. There are multiples of practically every machine or piece of equipment you could need, and nearly every body part even has its own dedicated room or semi-private training space. Whether you’re powerlifting, bodybuilding, or just looking for a serious place to train, Fords has everything covered. But the best part is the VIBE. Fords is the perfect homage to the Golden Era of bodybuilding, even including an outdoor training area reminiscent of Muscle Beach. You genuinely feel like you’ve stepped into the movie “Pumping Iron.” I’ve trained at a lot of facilities and there’s something uniquely motivating about Fords that makes be train a bit harder and leave feeling more accomplished. I can only hope that if Fords ever opens a second location, they come to Cincinnati. In the meantime, I highly recommend Fords to anyone looking for an all-inclusive gym in Lexington — and especially to my fellow NGA competitors and their supporters who need a serious place to train while they’re in town for a competition. I’m already looking forward to my next visit.
