The owner is totally nuts. She makes "offers" but then when people come in for them, "they are no longer available.". She treats her staff horribly, only one person has been able to accept her degradation for more than 6 months (how he's been there for years even at the request of his family to leave is beyond me)
The gym itself is good, especially if you prefer more old school lifting. However, she'll drag you into her personal issues and gossip if you so much as say hello. You have to sign the long contract (the thing is over 5 legal pages long) in the gym and you cannot take it home. The price is high and she runs off any personal trainers that she "hires".
Honestly, best avoid unless you can't get to Golds
Absolutely the best GYM in El Paso.
The best equipment hands-down.
Looks good but no sauna or pool include it.
I was a member of this gym for well over a year. My first impressions were amazing. The gym is well stocked, super clean and never super busy. It was and is a fantastic facility. So why the two stars?
In my 30+ years as a fitness competitor and expert, I have never seen such an unprofessional approach to running a gym. The gossip and negative energy generated by the very person who owns the gym boggles my mind.
I did my best to mitigate and ignore the baloney, but when an individual actively tries to pull you into the muck one must rethink why they are paying money to a facility that is sub-par when it comes to a positive experience.
I have a very active social media presence and I happily promoted this facility. Only to be accused of using the facility to make money somehow under the table or at the owner's expense. This is absurd as anybody can clearly see my online presence and I have never made money off the gym.
I could go on, but the bottom line is I will not pay good money to be in an environment where the management is less than professional.
The extremely high turnover rate at the front desk should have been a warning along with the low membership. I was just happy to be in a great facility that was never full. Now I know why. I've had several people decide not to join based on their experience with the owner during their visit with me for a workout. This is poor business at best.
It is a shame. The place was brilliantly designed and has great promise. It should be the hottest place in town, yet it falls short.
Pity, a lot of potential.
I called and was told that the gym was free on Mondays after 5 PM (I wanted to confirm this as I had already been told of this offer). I arrived; the paperwork necessary to try the establishment out for free was filled. Upon doing so, a tour was given. At the end, the owner arrived and stated that the offer was not valid anymore and wanted for the membership to be purchased immediately. Unfortunately, time was wasted because of this experience. There needs to be a consensus on what they are doing. I don't know if the workers or if the owner was right, nor should it be my concern - this is deceitful advertising.
SCAM. You can only cancel your membership by certified mail at exorbitant cost. Clearly malevolent management. Decent facilities.
Re the owner's response: "Valuable membership"... Damned right it's valuable$, you human vulture.
Read things before you sign them, people.

Amazing gym! The gym is clean, the weights are racked. By far the best gym I've ever been to. Stick around long enough and you might even get some free training tips for the owner!

Phenomenal gym, stopped in while visiting El Paso
Very clean, large selection of equipment
Various selection for the beginner, powerlifter and even strongman
Glad I stopped in, wish I lived in El Paso just for the gym
Very friendly people

The equipment is different than any other gym I've gone to in EP. It is always nice and empty so no need to ever wait for a machine or bench. This place is a bit on the expensive side so if you go then it is to lift not to gossip

All of us at Zenk Marketing feel great working out at The Backstreet Gym. Mary Jerumbo, owner is an authentic trainer with a strong mind. We also love the boxing condition classes!
Great gym. They have every piece of equipment you could ever hope for. Owner is extremely nice. Highly recommend this place for anyone serious about weight training

Best combo of good equipment/flexible hours in El paso
Live across the street... Went there, there was no one at the front desk. After a while they gave me a quick tour. The guy was snobbish, stupid and just nasty. You can feel the nastiness in the air with their customers' attitude. Stay away! too bad I live so close I would have enjoyed just walking to the gym
Clean, modern, fully equipped for power lifters and serious weight lifters. Owned by IFBB pro Mary Ellen Jermubo. Opens at 4:30am during the week. $20 for a day pass is worth every penny. I visited for 3 days on business, walked in at 4:45am and was greeted professionally with a 'welcome to Backstreet Gym'. They have a separate powerlifting room with everything you need and a huge main floor with every weight machine you'd need and dumbells to 200 lbs. Awesome.
I stood there for over 5 minutes to ask about a membership and no one acknowledged me. When I called to get pricing they will not give info over the phone and tell you to go in. Well I did just that, and it was a waste of time because I was never helped.
THIS PLACE IS DISGUSTING!!! NO AIR CONDITIONING! NOBODY CLEANS THE LOCKERS OR BATHROOMS! I don't know how you can pretend to be a premier or nice gym with such terrible management. All criticisms are met with Mary's fake responses and then disregard. She is a train wreck and definitely practices what she preaches when it comes to using steroids to get huge at the expense of your body and bones. It is a very unfortunate culture she has created. She represents everything wrong with the gym industry and why people cut corners to look big because they feel ashamed of themselves. The gym is not about fitness but about false appearances and she insults people that she doesn't think are big enough. It is honestly very disappointing to have a place like this in El Paso.
Best selection of equipment in town!!! The equipment and facility are clean and well kept. Great workout environment!!! Wish there was one on the Eastside...
OMG IT IS TERRIBLE! DISGUSTING EQUIPMENT AND LOCKER ROOMS! My boyfriend and I used to go here. It was not what we wanted. (Owner is money hungry and screws you over if you quit early though.) He was offered drugs or steroids constantly (even by a staff member!) I see the pictures on Yelp of the signs they put up making fun of people like us and had forgotten about how dumb they were. The owner has a really weird idea of what fitness is if she think you have to be huge to meet your goals! Lol. They also don't have an air conditioner so it is gross inside. They leave the doors open even when there are dust storms! This is a far cry from a quality gym.
She's fucking cheap not respectful at all , and she's think owned us by fucking 60$ seriously, she's dumb and her employer like slaves to her shame on you guys, just stay away from This snake from beginning so nice just sign it then you gonna see her real face coz all she want first payment and first month after that she gonna kick your ass outside. For that her gym empty no people over there. Steroids girl fucking ugly. EP fitness better then your shit they are so respectful. The biggest problem I can go to UTEP gym but I'm going to her gym coz close to me and UTEP 6min from me that was bad idea to go there but any bad words not enough to Describe her and last thing if you guys don't worry and care about your dignity go there coz she gonna smash it.
Best Gym experience in town. Has plenty of equipment to satisfy most if not all work out routines.
