How we verify
The gym's own page
Not reviews, photos or guesses. Only what the gym's site, or a page we link, says.
Every badge has a source
The quote, link and date sit under each Yes or No.
Sponsors can't buy a Yes
Paid listings get placement, not badges.
Does the gym allow chalk?
Some gyms ban it. Many never say, so you find out at the front desk.
Chalk friendly gyms near you
Every Yes on Chalkproof comes from the gym's own website, with the quote and link on the gym page. Start with the list of gyms that say chalk is allowed, read how to check any gym's chalk rule, or see what the big chains say about chalk.

Common questions
How do I find a gym that allows chalk?
Search your city and turn on the Chalk filter. A Yes means the gym says on its own website that chalk is allowed, and the quote and link are on the gym page. Or start with the chalk friendly gyms list.
Does my gym allow chalk?
Many gyms never write the rule down. Check the gym's rules page, search Chalkproof, then ask the front desk. Our guide: Does my gym allow chalk?
What does Unverified mean?
The gym has not stated that rule on its website or on a page we cite. It is not a No. Ask before you go.
Can I drop deadlifts at a gym?
Some gyms allow it, often on a platform, and many do not. Use the Drops OK filter and confirm with the gym.
Where do Chalkproof's facts come from?
Only the gym's own website or a page we link. Each Yes or No shows the quote, the link and the date. How we verify.
