“Such an amazing place. Staff is more like a family that supports you through your journey. I was never a gym person!!!! And now it is my therapy with a bunch of friends. No JUDGEMENT!!!! Just knowledgeable kindness to help you achieve your goals. Christa is a Guru. Her classes hit different. Mental and physical. All the coaches have their own unique approach but are always on the same page. It is a very special place.”
“Resilient Training Lab helped me become stronger & more confident in my own abilities. The amazing coaches are so knowledgeable & guide you in your journey to becoming stronger & healthier. Paul & the other coaches help you modify exercises to adjust to your ability. The gym is open 24hrs a day which helps your schedule. I suffered a cardiac stroke in May 2025 & thru their coaching & knowledge I was able to get healthy & so much stronger than I was. The gym has a great community feel. The community at this gym features people of all age’s & abilities. Highly recommend Resilient Training Lab.”

“Elle & her staff at MyGym are fantastic. I started taking my now 2 year old there over a year ago and she absolutely loves it! From circle time to activity stations to independent & group play it has been a great experience. My daughter knows exactly where we are when we enter the parking lot & has gotten so much more comfortable in the classes. Highly recommend!”

“Visited the gym for the first time and the vibes were immaculate. David is a phenomenal coach and owner. He helped us with form and was a pleasure to talk to! The community was equally welcoming and we couldn’t recommend this gym enough!”
“I love b fit!!! Just moved to the area and found them through classpass. Kodie is the best - she'll hype you up, fix form and push you to work harder increasing weights. I always end up sore in new places after taking a class. ??”

“RIGOROUS but that’s the beauty of it! I loved their boot camp session and i think i left the gym with a six-pack. they are very welcoming and supportive!”
“This gym is amazing. The culture and level of training is next level. RTS is the future of next level training with extreme detail to specifics that no other gym has ever matched. If you want to make changes and really step up your game there is no other place to be.”
“mActivity is one of my favorite parts of living in East Rock and easily my favorite gym I have even been a member of. It is not only clean, it is lovingly taken care of and well stocked with everything you could need. The staff are all lovely, people are respectful in the space, and it has a calm distinctly un bro-y energy. I particularly love the sauna and steam room, which made New England winter so much more enjoyable. 6/5 stars.”

“Orange theory has been the best thing to happen moving to CT. This community, gym, and workouts have been amazing. The owner, Amy, is fabulous and so welcoming. The coaches, coach Joe (miss him), was absolutely fantastic. And all the other coaches!!”
“Really awesome gym. All the positive reviews are spot on. Kind of an old skool vibe. This is where the serious minded train. I don’t think you will find the gym selfie TwerkTok instagarbage “influencers” here.
Customer service is top notch. Honest and down to earth. Also, the boxing coach Will is a gem. This place is 5 stars all around. I will definitely be back when I’m in town.”

“This gym made me feel so welcome since my first day there, and I strongly recommend for anyone who's already into fitness or just looking to get started to go there! I recently moved to Florida and will make sure to visit every time I'm in the area, as I miss my BFCF family so much! ❤❤❤”
“Extremely clean environment. Open 24/7 so you can work out at late night . Has tons of equipment for everyone. Been there for over a year and never had any issues.”
“Exceptional Facility! Great exercise equipment and excellent staff!.
Andy, my trainer is very experienced, knowledgeable, dedicated and results oriented. Other trainers are very welcoming , professional and dedicated as well. This place means results and quality service!”

“CrossFit HCC is an outstanding gym that goes above and beyond to help members achieve their goals. The coaches are knowledgeable, motivating, and truly care about each individual's progress. The community atmosphere is incredibly supportive, making every workout session enjoyable and encouraging to both beginner and advanced CrossFit Athletes.”
“I actually visited as a complete outsider. What I mean by that is they hired me to DJ an event and I witnessed the most friendly and patient staff. I also work with adults who have cognitive challenges and my eyes are always open to how I see others treat them. I was EXTREMELY impressed by the entire team.”
“I’ve belonged to several gyms and ECF is at the top of the list. Joe, the owner is extremely hands on and he truly cares about the athletes that train here. The coaches are great too. However, what separates ECF from the pact is the community that Joe has developed. It is inclusive, fun and motivating. A great place to get fit!”
“Great experience at Surge! Charlie at the front desk gave me a tour and was very helpful and professional, answering all of my questions. The gym is extremely well cared for and clean. You can tell they truly care about members growth through their packages, included amenities, high end equipment, and excellent customer service. I loved it and I look forward to returning.”
“James is a reliable, committed trainer who always knows how to motivate me to do what I need to do! I've known him for 5 years now and have never used anyone else for training. He's a lot of fun and very personable which makes our training sessions fly by! Exceptional value as well.”
“I have been at The District for about nine months. Beautiful facility and highly professional team that is always willing to help in any way they can. Lots of emphasis on community and others working here are very nice. The only thing keeping me from giving it a full five stars is the noise level. I am in a private office and can hear full conversations in adjacent offices-- and when co-workers get together to chat in the hallways and adjacent areas it can be impossible to hear on calls without headphones. With that said, there are days when few people are here and it's super quiet. Overall, a great place.”
“After a great lunch we decided to visit this location because it was convenient and wow, what a pleasant surprise. The gym was immaculately clean, bathrooms well stocked and maintained and great equipment. I also tanned and and really enjoyed their stand up bed. The staff were also great, friendly and helpful. Five stars guys”

“I’ve been a loyal Planet Fitness member for over 20 years. My original home gym was in East Haven, which was a spacious, two-floor facility that I loved. When I transferred to the Amity location in New Haven, the transition was a bit tough the space is much smaller and more limited. The staff at this gym are consistently friendly and genuinely helpful, I truly appreciate their positive attitude and willingness to assist.
Recently, my fiancée and I returned from a few weeks abroad, only to walk into what felt like a completely different gym. While I fully support upgrades and new equipment, it’s frustrating when major layout or equipment decisions are made by people who clearly don’t use this location or understand its day-to-day challenges.
As I’ve mentioned before, space at Amity is already tight. My fiancée and I typically come after work, around 6–6:30 PM one of the busiest times of the day. During this time, the gym is packed, often with large groups of students from Southern, many of whom use multiple machines at once without much regard for gym etiquette. It becomes nearly impossible to complete a workout efficiently.
Given all this, I’m baffled by some of the recent equipment changes. Why would you remove the 2 hip abductor machines & the 2 hip adductors and leave only one that does both? Why cut the already limited number of cable machines, especially the one in front of the free weights, which is constantly in use? Now there’s a line just to use basic equipment it’s turning into chaos.
I genuinely care about this gym and want it to be a space that works for everyone, but these recent changes have made it incredibly difficult to get a proper workout. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and reconsiders the current setup.”

“Old School gym. Thorough and only for the strong and hard working. If you know what work means, this gym is for you. I trained here for a short time when I was in college. The routine and the confidence building is one of a kind. Brian Clark is a great trainer.”
“Great location, not super busy but I do wish there was more room near the weights even if a few people are standing there, there's very little room to share.”

“Been a member several different times over the past 15 years. The gym has always provided what I need as well as a decent space to workout. Consistently clean and properly staffed.
Came to workout today and had an outstanding balance due to an expired card. I explained this at the front desk to Lexi, who handled everything quickly and pretty perfectly. She saw some issues with my account balance, escalated those issues to the manager without me mentioning them, and had everything handled before I had to say a word. The ease in which Lexi handled my issue and allowed me to get to my workout was wildly impressive and super commendable. Also, the manager(yolked up blonde dude with a mustache) gave a hand executing everything and clearly supports his staff. This is the first time we have had to interact but I have seen him putting in good work during my time at the gym.
Give Lexi a raise.
Thanks.”

“Great gym with an even better community. The staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, and cares about everyone who walks in. And somehow the place is always spotless and running perfectly… whoever’s behind that deserves a raise. Makes it easy to keep coming back. 5 stars all the way.”
“I believe this is one of the best Edge in CT. The equipment at this Edge I have not seen anywhere else. In addition, their cardio selection is quite large. The staff are all friendly and the facility is generally very clean. Lastly, machine are never out of service for too long. Overall solid gym.”
“Four months ago, I joined The Edge after not exercising for nearly 10 years. As I’ve gotten older and had kids, I realized it was finally time to prioritize my health. My husband had always recommended The Edge, and although I was nervous, I pushed myself to join and hired a trainer, Griffin.
This has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health journey. Griffin is an incredible trainer, and while he was away, I had the opportunity to work with Luis, who is also fantastic. They have truly helped me understand the changes I need to make to reach my goals and have been supporting me every step of the way.
In addition to the trainers, the administrative management, front desk, and sales team have also been wonderful. They are attentive, they listen, and they maintain an open-door policy if you ever need to talk about anything.
The Edge also offers a perk partnership program for small businesses, which has allowed me to promote my business through my membership and provide gym memberships for my employees.
Darnell, the salesperson who has supported me through this program, deserves special recognition. He is one of the kindest and most genuine people I have ever met. It’s clear that he not only enjoys his job but truly cares about the clients he works with. I often stop by his cubicle just to say hello because his energy is so magnetic—it always leaves me feeling happier after our conversations!
I am so grateful to everyone that works there and that I finally made the decision to take my health more seriously!”
“Great location. But no paper towels in bathroom which is getting typical for PFs. But at least everything works (unlike Bradford which bathrooms are getting REAL run down, unfixed, broken, showers suck). These bathrooms have EXTRA privacy areas. Nice. Clean. Not puddles of water. But all PFs honestly need high matts,more hooks or mini shelves to keep stuff off wet floors. But this is a good one!”
