BEST EQUIPMENT

DePaepe's is the result of a 30 year pursuit of perfection to the point of what many see as extreme if not a bit eccentric. The unmatchable collection of equipment you will see at DePaepe's is a virtual showplace of the finest hand picked pieces ever manufactured by the best equipment companies that have come and gone over the past three decades. Nowhere else will you find another gym that offers such a diverse selection of quality equipment.

BEST EQUIPPED BOXING ROOMS

Not only is DePaepe’s the finest equipped club in reference to cardiovascular conditioning and resistance training, we also offer a fully equipped boxing area at both of our facilities. The rooms are privately located and equipped far better than most private boxing clubs. The boxing rooms include the finest available heavy bags of various weight, several sizes of speed bags, double-end bags, undercut bags, wrecking ball and medicine balls. Both rooms are also equipped with plenty of electric timers to help pace your training.

CARDIOVASCULAR

Our cardiovascular arena is equipped with cardio vision televisions and over thirty awesome machines of every imaginable configuration, including many new pieces that our competitors simply to do not offer. The quality and variety of our cardiovascular equipment is unmatched anywhere. Treadmills, Elliptical runners, Free runners, Recumbent bikes, Rowers, Stairmasters, Versa climbers, Step mills, and Crossrobic machines. You name it, we have it, and by the best manufactures who make it! No time limits are put on your use of equipment at DePaepe’s and there is no waiting list to sign either, they have purchased enough of everything to meet customer demand.

POWER ROOM

Like most every club today, DePaepe’s finds it necessary to maintain a reasonably controlled and comfortable atmosphere to appeal to and not intimidate the general public.

However, unlike most every other club that discourages or even disallows the loud and aggressive nature of power lifters, DePaepe’s has gone to great expense to create a privately located Power Area that is equipped to satisfy any world class lifter. The room includes massive multi-use Hammer Strength power racks, dead lift platforms, an extra heavy set of fixed barbells, and dumbbells that go to 200lbs! All Olympic plates in this area are exact precision machined York plates. The Power Room is located on the lower level of our Davenport location. DePaepe’s is an Official Hammer Strength Training Facility.

TANNING & SAUNA

Our exceptional high quality does not end with our fitness equipment. DePaepe’s also features the newest, largest and most powerful tanning beds in the entire area, and to keep them that way, they change their bulbs twice as often as recommended by the manufacturer using the finest bulbs available. These beds are large, comfortable and impressive. They are one of the few beds made that will actually tan your sides. You simply will not get a better or more complete tan from any other bed in town.

PRO SHOP

DePaepe's World Class Fitness carries an array of personal exercise equipment to complement your workout. We feature an assortment of the best equipment on the market including weightlifting gloves, wraps, straps, and weightlifting belts. Not to mention, we also sell a variety of tanning lotions clothing, and supplements! Stop by and let one of our experienced staff members get you outfitted for your workout, recovery or next tan.

SUPPLEMENTS

DePaepe's World Class Fitness knows what works in the field of bodybuilding! That’s why we only carry the best in everything! When you are at the gym, don’t forget to check out our large assortment of recovery drinks or our supplements for individual sale. Again, DePaepe's only has the best and that is why we are a proud distributor of Beverly International Nutrition™ supplements.

After 30 years of experience and exposure to the highly competitive supplement industry which is capitalized on the fat burning, strength promoting, physique enhancing, and energy increasing desires of the fitness minded consumer, DePaepe’s has chosen to eliminate the confusion and provide for its customer only one line of supplements.

We are the area’s exclusive distributor of the highly respected no-nonsense line of supplements known as Beverly International. Long before we ever opened for business back in 1980, Beverly International was widely known in the inner circles of the elite fitness communities as having the highest quality and standards of anyone in the industry. Beverly International doesn’t follow trends or seek higher profits by using cheaper ingredients. Beverly’s products are of the highest possible grade on the planet scientifically developed and proven to be the most effective.

You won’t see them on the shelves at your local health food or discount department store, nor will you find them in the advertisements of your favorite muscle magazines. Beverly International has survived throughout the ages on the simple philosophy that quality sells through word of mouth by those in the know.

Fortunately for our customers, DePaepe's became aware of Beverly superiority years ago and has made Beverly International its exclusive line of supplements.

Please see Beverly International’s website for more information.

KID'S ROOM

At both locations we have provided clean and safe playrooms that are truly functional and continually interesting for young children. Both rooms are equipped with commercial grade toys and furnishings including wooden blocks, doll houses, television, chalk boards, and work station for reading or homework. Playrooms are available during all open hours for children who do not require constant supervision such as infants.
*Note – DePaepe’s does not provide child care. This is a kid’s room intended for children who are independent and can occupy themselves. It is the responsibility of the parent to frequently observe their children while in the kid’s room.

CUSTOMER COMMENTS

We constantly receive rave reviews from first time customers who never realized that such a superior club existed in the Quad City area.

We have been notified by customers of occasional message board conversations by out of state lifters who have referenced DePaepe’s and the original Gold’s Gym in Venice Beach as the standards of comparison to rate various other clubs where they had trained throughout the entire country. New customers often express regret that they ever spent years training anywhere else.

Newcomers to the area searching for a place to train often stop in after a thorough review of other local clubs and, upon joining, express with great relief their delight and surprise that a real gym of such caliber actually exists in the Midwest. Many of our current customers are still regretfully locked into contracts elsewhere that were purchased prior to being exposed to DePaepe’s.

LOCATIONS & HOURS

Most clubs that offer dual locations are of no convenient benefit to customers as they are located too far or even too close to one another. Multiple locations offered by national chain clubs are even less enticing for customers to utilize as they are usually equipped exactly the same.

DePaepe’s on the other hand, not only being the two finest equipped clubs in the entire area, are conveniently located in both Iowa and Illinois, yet only 15 minutes apart.

Both facilities are basically the same size and provide somewhat familiar and similar fundamental layout of strength and cardio equipment. Both provide three tanning rooms, boxing rooms, kids room, lockers, showers, saunas, etc. Yet there are distinct and exciting differences not only in the atmospheres but in many similar yet different pieces of equipment. There are unique differences in tanning rooms, saunas, boxing rooms, lounge, etc. Even slight differences in weekend or holiday hours are well accepted by our customers due to the close alternative proximity and their personal desire of occasional diversity.

Regardless of where you currently train, no club in the Quad City area is more than a 10 or 15 minute distance from one of our two facilities. Even if DePaepe's is not the closest proximity to where you live, the few extra minutes travel time will be more than compensated for in the time you will save training at either of our better equipped and less crowded facilities.
