Fitness & Gyms in New Haven, CT

“The best gym I have attended in Connecticut. Staff are courteous, professional, and extremely accommodating. Price reflects the quality of service and attentiveness to customers wants and needs. Highly recommend if you are looking for a high end gym, with a great community feel.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”
