John Meadows is an American professional bodybuilder and entrepreneur with an intriguing story. While John now boasts a successful career as an IFBB Pro bodybuilder and fitness company owner, his journey towards the top was extremely difficult.
Growing up, John never met his father, and his mother died at an extremely young age. This meant John only had his grandmother to take care of him. When his grandmother tragically passed away in 1999, John was left alone without his family to support him.
As the years went by, John continued to face new adversities in his life. During his early days in bodybuilding, John suffered from a rare colon disease. After fighting the disease for several months, his colon burst - almost resulting in his death. Luckily, John was quickly rushed to an emergency room where his life was saved. After several months of recovery, John was finally back on his feet.
Coming back into bodybuilding, John used the very obstacles that almost cost him his life as ‘fuel’ to grow stronger. Ever since he recovered from the colon surgery, John has gone on to become a successful bodybuilder, entrepreneur, and inspiration for many people all over the world.

Bev Francis is one of my favorite bodybuilders from back in the day, alongside Christa Bauch, Denise Hoshor & Denise Rutkowski. ❤
How many times does John say “this is my favourite”. He’s like a kid in a candy store. Good to see his enthusiasm. Made me laugh.
:)
Real gymrats and gym nerds are like that when they see equipment they like
Seeing John light up talking about gym equipment is super motivating, it’s all about the journey!
it is!
This is my former gym when I still lived in NY. Best gym ever. That's what I miss the most about not living there anymore.
I wish more gyms had the belt squat machine.
Long Island!!! Thats my hood🤣 However I go to Blink, no fancy stuff just the basics however... Gravity is just as strong there🤣 Love your videos!
Cranjis McBasketball hahaha your name is awesome man 😂
Same brooo I’m bout to go tmrw tho
We can enjoy a considerable amount of benefits from these machines which is easy to fix the strict form. Your guidance with the demonstrations and the talk-session are so exciting!
We flew out a few years back to train here for a week and Steve and Bev treated us so nice.... got a posing session in with Steve and it was the coolest experience of my entire career. This is a great place!
My salute to the men of culture who also enjoy seeing gym equipment from other places.
Kev English is a good dude. Old childhood neighbor of mine. Use to train with his younger brother. Good ol days.
Who thinks Golds Venice is overrated?
i got to train there for a week back in 1995, i was so stoked to train there - was a dream come true but now from what i've heard it's not the same
It looks now Hollywood plastic fantastic gym.
Its almost like planet fitness now except there’s no lunk alarm lmao. H
Grounddog 4Life It got too commercial.
thats the fake Golds
That squat pro machine looks awesome, but my favourite piece of leg equipment is the A-Frame belt squat. Excellent for overloading the quads without the risk of injury to your shoulders and takes the pressure off the lower back. Has helped me improve my overall squat and increased the size of my legs!
John is still one of the good guys in the industry, refreshing to watch his videos, keep up the great work!!
thanks for the tour for us people leaving far way, loving the gym, their equipment and just the sounds of dumbels and plates at the back!!! just perfect raw environment... Its fantastic to see all machines and lets say new suff and training content as always entertaining and educative thanks a lot Jhon!!
ha ha John is like a kid in a candy store :) Love it.....
God bless you John!
Thanks Steve!
Yes! Always wanted to see a full walk through of this gym. Always see clips but never the whole gym. Thanks John!
Peffer’s athletic club in Scranton. An old school hardcore gym I was fortunate enough to visit. The owner ( Frank Peffer) is awesome to talk to and has a wealth of knowledge. He actually made half of the equipment in the gym.
And just like that, my Friday just got an extra dose of awesomeness! Thanks Mountain Dog
you bet :)
I just feel inadequate. My home gym has a power rack, a bench, a pulldown/cable row and hyperextension and one big arse adjustable db i can load up for DBRows and oly bars. Has nice smell of mower fuel, a few spiders and enough dirt on the floor to give it character. Only ever 70s music played in it.
Sounds like a dream gym, a real GYM. Seriously. They're hard to come by.
@@johnswaim3919
Dinosaur gym👍
Hey it's got a rack you're 90% covered right there. A rack and dumbells and you're good to go. If you have a cable machine that's a bonus!
@@dickJohnsonpeter
Yep im happy with what ive got. Some of those machines John uses look pretty cool. I havent been in a gym other than my shed for probably 20years and nack then most machine were crappy other than pulldowns and cable rows. If i had a gym membership i just hand around the squst rack and deadlift platform anyway lol.
Cheers mate🍻
I live in a small city Perth Western Australia, I saw a young girl coming out of a gym and walking up the road, she was wearing a Bev Francis hoodie. I stopped her and asked where she got it from. She told me her and her husband had been to powerhouse gym in NY. wow that’s great, a dream of mine.
i still just can't believe you're gone ....... rip brother
This was my home gym when I lived on Long Island.
Loved it
Every piece of equipment imaginable.
I love how you're just like a big kid in a candy shop especially during the back machines
Honestly thank you so much for making this video I live on Long Island and had no idea this place existed, expect me there in the near future. Great video and keep up the great work, really do enjoy the content you put up
I love visiting this place. Its the disneyworld of gym equipment
If you're ever in Scotland, you should try SGF gym, its a proper old school gym
My home gym is up there with some of the best gyms in the country for sure! Another awesome video John!
Like a kid in a Candy Store! I'm looking forward to seeing the workouts to come.
Great gym john thanks for showing us this amazing gym cant wait to c were u r going next mountain dog rocks always steve is always a straight shooter no holding back on nothing also great interview
Omg! move this gym into my city!!!
9:20 my favorite back machines
12:30 that is a brilliant addition to that calf machine
Looks fantastic
You should come to The Shop Gym in Virginia. I think you’d love that place. Real hardcore gym.
Loving this series
Thank you for going in depth with the gym equipment 😊
Bevs is great. Long Island !!!
Bucket list!
Thank you for this Meadows! :)
Great video John. Love seeing these gym videos.
10:35. You can definitely get "it"with that. A good mind muscle connection and your lats are fried
Jusg wish I could get the chance to train their. Being in England it's just to far for my 5 sessions a week.
Always loved the East coast mecca videos, it would be my no1 place to train in the US.
RIP John.
I'm 20 min away. If I get a good deal I'll join for the year.
Great Video !!!! Thank You !!! for the tour and the introductions to the new and favorite equipment !!! I'm definitely going to plan out something for me to work out for the summer April, May, June, July, Aug of 2021 !!!! Man, this definitely got me motivated and inspired !!!! Environment is everything !!!!!
Love this series. keep em coming
Been waiting on this one ! Good stuff John!
super cool! Great job! I love how you don't need anyone to take you around and you know all the pieces and different places whence they hail!
R.I.P. champ😣
I would move to syosset just to go to that gym every day. That gym is awsome x 2
I belong to a Powerhouse Gym and I really love the equipment
Dude you are so lucky to get to go to so many amazing gyms 👍
I have always wanted to go train at Bev's
He gives the goofball texting a look
Next time you are in New York, you should go visit CompleteBody gym in Manhattan! Awesome place. Would definitely make my list of the best gyms in the US.
you are very personable, it is fun to watch your video's :-) 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Best Regards 🇩🇪
Thank you!
Powerhouse gym the best gym on the wordl
I go to this gym great old school gym
Im loving these gym tour videos. I actually like to go to multiple gyms just to try out the different equipment and overall gym vibes for fun. I found that hardcore gyms are still around.....they just arent near the beach looking pretty like golds. I feel like a child in a candy store just browsing the equpiment and get happy when i use a machine that feels like it was built just for me hahaha. Give a heads up when you go to dave Fischers powerhouse again so i can go have a picture haha
love that place!
I do the same my friend
14:14 there's a gym at my Mom's village in the Philippines that has a leg press similar to that except theirs has a diamond plate platform instead of plain rubber or grip tape platform.
I was the first cousin to show my cousins that leg pressing 600 is possible and pressing 300 in the off brand hammer strength chest press is possible 🇵🇭💪😎
Legging pressing 600lbs? Not impressive to me at all. I could do that 8-12 reps on a good day within my first year of training. Now 300 on the chest press machine. Crazzzzzzy! I still can’t do that and my chest is actually my best area
@@ralfnuggs165 i only go 600 because if I go heavier than that I feel like my knees would explode and I get bad ass heartburn 😂
dude keep up the great work. maybe one day I'll get there. In my late 30s so dunno
Amazing gym!!! Id be in heaven
excellent gym! i envy the gains your going to get there!
Awesome series! Keep them coming John!
If youre ever in Germany again, you should visit the Powerhouse Gym Öhringen!
If you were not such a great guy I'd be jealous as hell, who's kidding I envy you so much getting to go to these places but I couldn't be happier for you!
Love these videos!
This is Heaven thanks for sharing Camp
I want to go there 🤩
love this series!!
Gym looks great!
great show u need to b on history channel thanks for all the videos
that would be cool
I love this show💓
Great video👍🏼 Greetings from Holland.
You da man John!
You should visit „Das gym“, in Vienna, Austria!!
would love to
@@mountaindog1 I guess not only me would absolutley love to see you over here in Europe or in Asia and Africa as well, visiting local gyms. Like some other guys mentioned before, you should have an own Netflix Series. I already can imagine the trailer "Alright..."
Richies Gym Brooklyn, NY
Muscle Mill Milltown, NJ
Richie's is pretty hardcore. But this place seems loaded.
Panatta is quite popular in Europe. Most popular in Europe is Technogym, Life fitness and Panatta.
Wow how cool is this 😍
I used to go to powerhouse gym in watertown mass
You need to check out The Shop Gym in manassas va.
i love this gym
Think the dude behind camera forgot this is a gym tour. The lens is fixed at John’s face all the time
next one will be better
well john is extremely handsome
I hope to see Red's in Lafayette LA, you won't be disappointed. Crazy that it isn't more famous imo.
Thats my home town lol and a great gym!!!
Thats my home town lol and a terrific gym!!
@@nekronbeast3981 😎
John, u must travel overseas one day and train at Oxygen gym in Kuwait. That gym is damn good!
This was a great tour of an iconic gym 🙌🏼
Unfortunately, the brand name franchise gyms do not carry the older machines that us "mature" trainers love. Gotta love Nautilus lat pull-down. that is one machine that can change your body & quickly.
The interview with Steve was great. Seems like a straight down the line kinda guy...
Johns grunt is legendary 6:00

thanks, good hardcore gym.
The environment sometimes make a difference
Nice gym. I was going to visit this gym early last year whilst on vacation in NYC, but other commitments prevented me from going. Maybe on the next trip :)
Thx for sharing John Meadows. These are awesome videos. Can you check out Pure Muscle and Fitness in Burlington Ontario . It's Dorian Hamilton's gym in Canada
Mtl has some cool gyms. Of course u have the Ben Weider. Used to have Caruso's ( Arnolds photographer Jimmy Caruso) U had Winston's. (IFBB judge Winston Roberts) U have Atlantis ( home of the Atlantis equipment) , u have Golds where Roy Callender works . There's a few !
I am going to that gym and I am subscribing to the channel
thank you!
Really enjoy your channel! Can you explain how to use the True Nutrition Glucose Disposal Agent. I am trying to increase my insulin sensitivity and keep my A1C down. Thank you again for all your hard work!
you can spread it out and take 3-4 caps over the course of the day 5 minutes before heavier carb meals, or take pre or post, or pre and post with your carbs
One of my goals is to go train there
Just bought my own barbell.
I'm now officially a weight lifter.
So you can store it in your basement ?
You're going to need some weights bro
@@danp8309 They have weights at our Gym but their bars are terrible and most of the equipment isn't maintained.
The ONE Olympic bar they have is bent and beaten. So I sucked it up and dropped some $$$ on a Rogue.
The best gym I have ever been to was the dungeon (temple gym). The days before instagram, where people just went there to lift heavy shit. I miss the old Temple!
A gym isn't a gym without a Nautilus pullover. Panetta makes some amazing chest and back pieces. Wish they were more avalible in the States. Awesome video as always John
Check out Madhouse in Lithia Springs, Georgia close to Atlanta theres really not another gym like it in Georgia. It’s definitely a hard core gym. They have most of the equipment I’ve ever seen in any gym and then some. No real cardio equipment lol
AWESOME
If I lived next to this gym..I would only go home to eat,sleep.wash.Back at the gym.The gyms here in philly pa are second rate gyms
