Loves Park, IL – MPI-K9 is excited to announce that, as of October 1, the company has officially acquired and is now operating Asylum Gym, located at 5441 Harlem Rd, Loves Park, IL 61111.

This marks a new chapter for the beloved local gym, as MPI-K9 brings its commitment to discipline, readiness, and community strength into the fitness world.

A Gym for the Community — and for Those Who Serve

Asylum Gym will continue to be open to everyone — from everyday athletes to those who serve and protect. The facility is now the official training home for first responders, military members, and security contractors, while still welcoming all fitness enthusiasts who value hard work and results.

“Our goal is to keep the heart of Asylum alive while adding new opportunities for growth,” said Kipton Bucey, Co-Owner of MPI-K9. “We’re building a space where the community and our nation’s protectors can train side by side, united by discipline, strength, and purpose.”

New Memberships Now Available — $25/Month*, No Joiner Fee

To celebrate the transition, MPI-K9 is offering new memberships for just $25 per month with no joiner fee. Members will continue to enjoy the same great training environment, top-tier equipment, and welcoming community that Asylum has always been known for.

In the coming months, Asylum Gym will transform into a 24/7, 365-day-a-year fitness facility, allowing members to train whenever motivation strikes.

A Focus on Strength, Readiness, and Brotherhood

Brandon Parker, Co-Owner of MPI-K9, emphasized the company’s mission for the gym’s next chapter:

“For us, Asylum isn’t just about lifting weights — it’s a brotherhood. It’s about giving people a place to push themselves physically and mentally, whether they’re preparing for duty, deployment, or just a stronger version of themselves.”

What’s Next

Over the coming weeks, members will see improvements to access control and facility operations to support the move toward 24/7 access.

Whether you’re a first responder, veteran, contractor, or a community member looking for a place to get stronger — Asylum Gym is ready for you.
