“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.”

“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. ??”

“My daughter loves My Gym- Orange! The gym is a great opportunity for me and my toddler to spend quality time together having fun outside of the home. The classes are well structured and paced; each aspect from circle time to parallel play to special skills is always creative, purposeful/ age-appropriate, and ever-changing to address various developmental needs and milestones. The class availability and membership options are very flexible and worth every penny. Lastly, the staff are extremely kind and attentive. Coach Elle, Mia, Michelle and Kayla have built a wonderful rapport with our family and we look forward to our visits each week.”
“Great staff; John F is a motivational titan. His challenging antics only cause me and my crew to work harder. Plus, he’s the best dj behind the desk and that’s undisputed. Get that man a raise!”

“I’ve been part of this gym for almost 2.5 years. As a retired senior, I was a bit worried initially, but my kids assured me Crossfit is for everyone. They were right! I can honestly say I’m stronger, healthier, and have lots of energy. My BP has gone down. Osteoporosis has improved to where I’m no longer at risk. Endurance is up. These coaches are great! If you think you’re too old for CrossFit, you’re not!!”
“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”
“Been a member for about 6 months now and absolutely love it. Started with a dedicated desk which was nice and got to meet some super nice people who sat near me, but ultimately upgraded to an individual office space and I love it, I go in almost every day. The facilities are great, and the staff is awesome. Lots happening each week, social events to food spotlights, different food trucks, and so on. Really glad I found this place!”

“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.”
“Would recommend for anyone looking for focused and quality training. I’ve been getting hour workout sessions twice a week for a month now with my trainer Trevor. I really see and feel a difference in my performance. He’s knowledgeable and supportive in all aspects of my fitness which includes the nutritional end of things.Granted the normal crowd is a little on the older side but I am 31 and feel just as welcome into the friendly environment.You get what you pay for. I wanted to invest in my wellness and this was the best option I found. Don’t come here thinking it’s planet fitness or other generic gym pricing…I’ve been to many gyms but chose to get trained here and am glad I did!”
“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.”
“Awesome all around! Dropped in while visiting my family. Emailed owner and he was quick to share information and answer all my questions.Went to class and group was welcoming and encouraging. Obviously operating on the CF philosophy! Coach was genuinely interested in the group as a whole as well as each individual. Great class!(PSA…the 2 other local CF gyms did not answer my inquiry made 3 days ago…not a good practice. Just my 2 cents.)I’ll be back, Aaron! Thanks for having a great place! You all rock! ??????????”

“It used to be my best gym! Professional, supporting and friendly staff! They are always there to help! The group classes are awesome, especially the spinning class!!! Members used to have to sign up online for spinning class and the classes were full of people and there were even people waiting outside. Now the fabulous instructors were "gone" and now it was left with regular classes. So now the level lowers down to a regular gym.”
“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.”

“Planet fitness is great. There's plenty of equipment, so there's no waiting. One complaint is the stair machines are tall and blocks the view of the TV's. The other is 4 TV's in CNN and no conservative news. The tv labeled Fox News has sports on it. I did ask the desk about it. Still not corrected.”

“I don't understand some of the negative reviews that people leave about this gym. I have been going to this gym for about 10 months now and have had nothing but positive experiences! The equipment is great, the sauna and tanning are good, music is decent (when you forget your ear pods) and the staff is excellent (especially Cody)! Rock on InShape!”
“I live outside of the country and was visiting family in the area for a couple of months and needed a gym for the short term. I am so glad I picked this gym over others in the area! Really big space, great selection of equipment and very well maintained. Members are generally polite and courteous. Everyone seems to be good about cleaning equipment after use and racking weights. Staff are friendly. Definitely recommend.”
“Love it here, every time I go in I feel welcome…. the people from the front are always so smile and friendly makes me feel ready to get that work out ??? love the suana, machine everything ???? girls bathroom always clean, good maintenance and friendly staff and it makes me feel good because no one is looking at you the wrong way everyone is going there to do their own thing. Which is good ??”
“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!”
