Fitness & Gyms near Centerbrook, CT

“This place has changed my life! The instructors are incredible, I feel like I’m getting a personal training session with every class. You will not be able to live without Prive once you start!”

“The best option in this area of Connecticut. New, clean equipment. Very affordable rate and the best customer service I’ve experienced! Especially Christina at the front desk”

“Andrew Petrulis will change your life!! I am 62 and was starting to feel my body giving out. I was unsteady, and going down stairs gave me a sense of dread!!! I knew I need a change but not a trainer that would train me like I was 25. I have a lifetime of injuries, car, accidents, broken bones, and other things that I have accumulated over the years that caused me pain and have to be very careful not to aggravate those issues. I started working with Andrew back in October 2025 and I can't believe the difference in my body in such a short time!!! He is not your average trainer! He will talk to you and find out your problem areas and what you want to achieve. Then he customizes a plan just for you!! I have had many trainers in my life. Some good ones, but Andrew changed the way I look at exercise and health in general. I am forever grateful to have my strength, health and life back. I’m feeling stronger than ever and truly feel like I’m 40 again!!! I can’t thank Primal Path and Andrew enough!!!”

“Clean gym and friendly staff. Has all the equipment i need and the members there do a good job of putting away their weights which is great. I would highly recommend.”

“I've been going to this gym for a while now, and I couldn't be happier with the clean facilities, top-notch equipment, and welcoming atmosphere. There's a wide variety of equipment, from free weights to machines, and everything is in great condition. I also appreciate that it's never too crowded, so you can always get a good workout in without waiting for equipment.

The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help if you have questions or need assistance with your form. I’ve also had great experiences with the personal trainers—they really tailor the workouts to your goals and are super motivating. On top of that, the yoga classes are excellent, offering a perfect balance of relaxation and challenge.

For anyone looking for a welcoming, supportive environment to reach their fitness goals, this gym is a perfect choice. Highly recommend!”

“All the staff and helper very nice all the machines are brand new and I’m glad they kept the machines that I like the best of the recumbent bikes. I am a returning member. I left when Covid close the place down and taking me a while to get back, but I’m glad I am.”

““Katie and Joe have built such a positive, welcoming fitness community! You immediately feel comfortable and supported, no matter your level. Kattie is an incredible trainer—she knows her craft inside and out and makes every session both effective and enjoyable. I always look forward to my time there!””

“CFBG is the best! Such a welcoming environment and coaches are so supportive and helpful - I worked out here until 8 months pregnant and coaches went above and beyond to help me modify and stay safe.”

“When i decided to join HKFitness, i did so because i heard about it from a friend. I was very surprised at what i saw. A moderate facility but very well stocked with all the key equipment a serious excercise enthusiast needs. Treadmills, pelotons, rowing machines and a very good selection of excercise equipment and free weights. All the equipment has a specific and very thought out placement. The gym is open 24 hours so it is very convinient for any schedule. Now the best part... Karen and courtney, you want to feel at home, this is the place. Super friendly on top of all your concerns and they do not neglect their equipment. They truly baby this gym. Im so happy to feel a part of the HK family. I truly recommend this gym. If your tired of people just sitting on machines taking selfies and scrolling on social media while warming up a seat, you wont find this here. and if your one of these this is not the place for you. Everyone who comes here are serious about their workouts.”

“Joint Effort is a wonderful way to keep in shape! PTs design your routines every 3 months to suit your personal goals and are with you everyday, making sure you are exercising safely and effectively! Plus you meet great people who enjoy the same kind of activity - its like having your own workout family. ?”

“MidCoast Athletics was extremely accommodating, kind, and supportive. The owner, Brian, was amazing to work with and very generous! The facility was clean, organized, and stocked with updated, high quality equipment. If you’re near by, I highly suggest dropping in! Overall awesome experience.”

“I am so impressed with this particular Snap facility located in Essex, Connecticut. Not only is the gym large, very well maintained, features the latest in both free weight and machine equipment, climate controlled 24/7, the staff is both present and extremely responsive to member needs and concerns. There is a Snap Fitness located closer to me, but I make an extra effort to work out at this premier facility. In my opinion this is the best gym on the Connecticut shoreline...I highly recommend Snap Fitness in Essex!”

“Snap Fitness in Old Lyme is well kept and always clean when I go in. It is never overcrowded so I do not have to wait to use any machines.The staff is helpful and friendly. I really like the convenience of being able to go in and workout any time of day or night. I was given a free training assessment when I signed up. The trainer took the time to talk to me about my goals and also showed me how to use the machines I wasn't sure about.”

“Elizabeth is awesome. She signed us up about a month ago. (My husband and I just hit our “Silver Sneakers” season. We love free gym memberships.) And it was only $69 bucks for Elizabeth to give us the training that is required! I really gained a lot of knowledge from her.
We originally joined Planet Fitness in Waterford. Nice staff but it turned out to be too big for me. When we came here it was a good size. The equipment is good. The extra room in back is my favorite. I like the TRX. (I lost 3 lbs in a month!) I also appreciate the clean shower room/bathroom. They have two of them. Both are private.
Anytime Fitness has a friendly environment and is perfect for us. We come faithfully 3 times a week and we get a lot of encouragement from Elizabeth. I actually give them ten stars!

“Favorite gym so far, I love the equipment and how the hip thrust/ squat machines are in the corner for privacy and how the hip abduction machine and hamstring curl has its own room for comfort, right next to the ladies locker so I don’t have to walk too far (I have anxiety) <3 also love the windows, when it’s dark and the mirror is packed I set up near the windows (it’s kinda like floor to ceiling squares) to see my form ? the staff has always been welcoming, kind, caring, and attentive <3 I will say, the MAJORITY of people here attending are so helpful, considerate, and go out of their way to compliment and support you ??some groups attending seem to not have gym etiquette yet, and have been very rude to me personally when I asked politely if I can get by bc they’re just standing in a group on the walkway near the bathroom lol, I ended up having to literally squeeze by and I was so embarrassed and infuriated, but as with any gym, don’t let the people ruin it, inspire others by staying kind and keep showing up for yourself????? kindness is contagious ?”
