A great gym right in beautiful Saranac Lake! This is a truly marvelous place, young smart owner, three floors of fitness, reasonably priced, not too crowded and not too expensive great hours 4am - 10pm MF 7a - 7p weekends. Just book an appointment to get started, Jeremiah, a personable friendly family man and competent ex-athlete and manager will get you set up, then you just come in whenever using the fob. Jeremiah is a real good guy he knows what he's doing and has a number of optional fresh ideas for working out, like a Jacob's ladder or the hack squat, but is easygoing and low key in his quick and easy to understand presentation. Really makes a trip to Saranac Lake totally worth it! A great gym for the Adirondacks!

SLOVE is an okay facility. If you are looking for a place to workout that’s local this is for you. They do not allowed guest/day passes. The gym is in a 4 story old building so the layout and space is exceedingly cramped when there are more than 5 people per floor. If you have worked out at other gyms be prepared for poor gym etiquette and equipment selection. Not many members put their equipment away, put it away where it goes, or provide space for you to get to what you need. Expect ego lifting, expect people to be spamming curls 6 inches away from the rack. Expect to have to go to 4 different weight trees to find the plates you’re looking for. That all said, Jeremiah the owner is very kind and flexible and is working hard to get better equipment!

Jeremiah was very welcoming and easy to contact about dropping in while I was visiting the area. This gym has plenty of equipment spread throughout the entire building. I was easily able to complete strength work to prepare for The Arnold.

Fantastic Gym. Three levels split into different exercise areas. Two to three of every machine and rack you could want. Clean and organised. I was spoilt, wish every town had this.

SLove has been my favorite hometown gym experience so far, and it’s the only place I’ll go in the area…hands down! Jeremiah is knowledgeable and helpful, and he and his wife have brought a lot of great changes and upgrades to the space. They have rearranged, brightened, replaced and continuously take great care of their members. They care about what machines and equipment matter to their members, and are always working to make the fitness area the best it can be. As of recently, they have also introduced a grab & go style food option which is super convenient, healthy and delicious! Highly recommend.
