How do I find a gym that allows chalk?

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?

Where do Chalkproof's facts come from?
