Fitness & Gyms in Fort Wayne, IN

“Walked in having no idea what to expect. Walked out wondering what I got myself into. After 3 weeks of LBX program, I gained confidence, increased strength and a fresh start at a healthy, sustainable lifestyle. I'm learning a new sport/skills that are becoming lifelong. Every class is a mix of all ages, and skill level. More experienced openly help those of us that are still learning. Sense of camaraderie with the coaches & everyone that comes in is incredible. Genuinely judgement free. I highly recommend Lee Brothers MMA. You won't be disappointed.”

“I got out of the military back in 2018, after spending 6 years of being told what to do and how to do it and being forced to work out and be in shape I came out to the real world and quickly realized that I no longer had anyone forcing me to do anything and I had to take my physical fitness and health into my own hands. I let myself go very quickly and searched for a gym where I felt like I belonged. I started going to gyms in the area and again they have stuff to workout with but I had zero guidance and realized that if I didn’t want to go I just simply didn’t.Jump to 2021 when I built a home and had a room in the basement dedicated to being a workout room, only problem with that is..that it’s in my home where I have everything else to do that makes me not want to workout. After gaining almost 30-40 pounds after my military life and just barely maintaining a healthy lifestyle I found Plus Ultra Fitness.A friend/co-worker asked me to try out his gym and guaranteed that I would love it. Not yet realizing what I was getting myself into I told him that I would try it out. He brought me on a Wednesday morning and at the time I didn’t know that was a full body workout day. I walked in and began to awkwardly stretch out on my own and soon members began to show up for the class immediately walking up to me introducing themselves and making me feel welcomed. I did the workout, the best I could and immediately knew it was the place I needed to be.They have multiple classes a day to accommodate everyone’s work schedule. All workouts are meticulously planned out and written on the board. You come in, you stretch out as a group and then are shown how to properly do every movement for the workout. You then get the weight that you think you can handle for the workout and you go through the planned workout surrounded by everyone else suffering with you. You also have the owner Joe or other trained coaches walking around making sure you are doing everything safely and with proper form.I no longer have to think of what to do for a workout, I walk in and the workout is planned out for me by a professional. I had a serious lack of motivation that sometimes follows me still but I have coaches and the owner Joe that will encourage me to go heavier making the workout still manageable but challenging ultimately making me better.I am huge on atmosphere I think that’s what makes a gym a place you seek and this gym has a community feel to it. There are no judgements, it’s just a gym where everyone knows each other, everyone works out together and we all celebrate each others wins and push through our failures just wanting everyone to get better each day.I haven’t been a member long, and I may be a little biased but if you are wanting to be surrounded by the best gym family in Fort Wayne while also being pushed and guided by highly trained and caring coaches that push you to being the best you then Plus Ultra Fitness is the exact spot you need to be.Try it for yourself and see, you won’t regret it.”

“I've been going to Mad Apple for a few years now. Super welcoming coaches and members! There are a variety of classes to attend, including kids crossfit and 24/7 open gym.”

“This is this gym. Just try it! The business model is clever and makes the experience easy for those who are uncertain or self-conscious. It is all classes, not an open gym. I personally prefer structure/instruction over figuring it out myself. Every class is different, every movement and timing is displayed on screens for you, the coaches are very attentive and personable, and everyone is very encouraging. This gym is set up for all fitness levels. I am certainly not a fit person, but I finish classes feeling great! The music is also always on point ?”

“I've only worked out there once.But, it was what I had been waiting for!Lots of mat space. Good amount of lifting equipment. I'm pretty sure you'd be able to load up at least 500 or 600 on a not busy time and not bother anyone.Staff was cool. Got me hooked up with the app so that I could come and go as I please.ButThe HEAVY BAGS!Great!They are heavy. They are long. They are absorbent. And you can get the workout of your life here.The bags let you work on your kicks and punches. I needed that. Got less power in my kicks over the years from not kicking something. And they just plain wear you out way quicker than ordinary short hanging bagsA+”

“I started towards the end of April/beginning of May and I have enjoyed every single day I have gone! All of the trainers I have worked with are all super helpful and friendly. The environment is always welcoming and the workouts vary daily (only 30 mins also which is a plus for a busy schedule). The atmosphere & people alone push you to do your best the entire time! I have noticed a huge difference in my strength & endurance since starting. I would definitely recommend 9rounds to anyone looking for extra motivation and a family-like environment when starting or continuing their workout journey!

Update: I have been attending for 7 months now! My trainers are still amazing. They are attentive to you not only when you are in the gym completing your workout, but also in your personal life, continuing to make sure we are eating right and meeting your personal goals. There is a great group of people in the 9rounds community!”

“I started OTF in 2022 and never looked back. I love that all you have to do is bring a good attitude to your workout, the template does the rest! The coaches help make sure you have the right form and are generally happy to advise on any fitness related issues/questions. Bonus - it’s a fun and supportive community and you get used to seeing familiar friendly faces in any class you book.”

“Dropped in for a week and felt so welcomed! It was my first time getting back into crossfit after a long time off and the coaches were great. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be back whenever I’m in town!”

“Great gym, worker was very nice, the people there were friendly but minded their own business. Will likely get a membership here after the first month free.Only callout: if you want to put your stuff in a locker, you need to bring a lock”

“Very nice facility. Trainers are excellent. Very intetested in tailoring workout to your needs and capabilities. I've lost inches all over in the months I've been going. Erin & Elizabeth are primary trainers. Love them. Prices are affordable. Results are evident.”

“OTF has been a great place to workout. The vibe and coaches are great. With this being class oriented, it’s great for people that are beginners to jump in and get a great workout and for people that have been working out for years, it’s a great place to push yourself further to the next level. Thanks for everything.”

“Quite the fitness center this Catalyst Fitness place on Trier Road, way bigger, much larger, than the other one on Goetz Road. A much larger amount of exercise equipment and greater variety of exercises to exercise in...”

“The Active Recovery Yoga class was lovely. Sarah is an amazing instructor. The heat scared me at first and was absolutely soothing. The live music provided by Sarah's husband was fantastic. If I lived there I would make your studio my home studio. My friend was really surprised how much he enjoyed it. He is a Martial Arts practitioner and a runner. He has practiced yoga with me at my studio in Washington. He discovered that this is what he needs to round out his wellness practice. Thank you. Annie Humiston Sweet Santosha Yoga Kingston WA”

“My wife and I dropped in a few times while visiting family in the hospital. The owner/team of coaches were incredible friendly and the community of athletes went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and supported. I’ll be coming back anytime I’m in town.”

“I am a newer member of Velocity and by new, I mean I am only on my third session. I wish I would have come in sooner. I had my first meeting with Brad who was super kind, informative and understanding. He took my crying (yes, literal crying) very well and understood what I was looking for even if I didn't. Thanks for that, Brad!! :DI have been working with Tori who is super knowledgeable and her dedication to teaching me has been unmatched! I learned the art of lifting in high school and THOUGHT I was taught proper technique but she has shown me the proper technique and mechanics of each exercise and I already feel a difference. She listens and takes thorough notes on any issues I am having.I have not had much interaction with Chelsea, but the little I have had she seems super kind also!I can tell you, everyone is encouraging and you never have to feel like you are being judged. Everyone there has their own goals in mind but for the most part, they are like-minded individuals. It is a great place for beginners and seasoned athletes. If this tells you anything, I HATE HATE HATE mornings, but I actually look forward to coming here even if I have to get up at 4:30 a.m. to be there by 6:00 a.m.Anyways, super cool place, even cooler people. If you are looking for even the slightest bit of self-improvement, I would highly recommend Velocity!”

“The pickle ball courts are amazing, and there is always someone there to play at 8am or 5pm. The splashed is nice for the kids. The water isn't freezing. And they play ground will keep them entertained for a while. Also, they have shaded pinic tables while you watch your kids have fun.”

“First time having a coach and it was a great experience as Zack showed me more than I would be normally comfortable in when I am working out alone and not being confident in reach past what I already am comfortable in.”

“My first visit today….. Very Friendly staff. Two bars on the crowd meter is surprisingly crowded for 9am but the spa amenities were available without any wait (light therapy, massage chairs/bed) Gym was clean and had no smell. No one was slamming weights or screaming. Love that they are open 24/7 so No complaints.”

“We've been lucky enough, and USF kind enough, to allow our grade school teams over the years to play some tourneys on a college court in a college setting. It is a great exerience.Thank you.”

“This gym has become my favorite place to be. I love the staff and it’s never overcrowded. So many options from pin machines, free weights and turf. i love it there. Great gym.”

“Enjoy the benefits of having a trainer do classes at Maplecrest location! What a perk. We lost the trainer, but have had Sam teach a few sessions prior to Gabby and also has subbed in. What a knowledge base he has and some great advice! I hope he could be an option for a trainer at this location. Thank u for your clean facility!”

“Planet Fitness has been a great way for me to learn how to get into better shape. Great atmosphere, the gym rats are very out of place here... But still welcome.”
