Fitness & Gyms near Circle Pines, MN

“The gym is clean and it has most of what you need.
They don't seem to address broken equipment though. I showed a staff member the rowing machine was broken 3 weeks ago. She had no idea. Still not fixed. No sign. Nothing.”

“Had a great time experimenting CrossFit North Star. The place was clean, friendly, and inviting. The equipment was great, the coaching was informed and willing to teach and allow questions. Great place!”

“Caden was beyond helpful when helping me sign up. I toured plenty of other gyms in the area and Caden made this one feel different. All the equipment is clean and updated. Everything I will need for my workouts are in one area. Plenty of free weights and a large turf. Highly recommend!!”

“I worked with them on multiple occasions and I am thoroughly impressed every single time! I have learned new ways to approach Mobility. I have put on muscle for movie roles and also find a way to bring me back to maintenance. Working through injuries and a busy schedule and can't think of the better company to work for. Tom is the best! I couldn't ask for a better coach”

“The trainers are top notch they will modify to your skill level. Excellent experience, I've been coming to this anytime fitness since April, I look forward to working out everyday!”

“Great workouts that a different each time to keep you from getting bored. The coaches have great energy and push me further than I would if I was on my own. Love the monthly challenges to keep you motivated and accountable to your workouts. Highly recommend!”

“Burn Boot Camp is so much more than a gym.

I started at Burn 2 months postpartum. I was told Burn would change my life and I kind of shook it off. I’ve been to so many gyms but burn is different. & it has changed my life all for the better. I have never worked out in a group setting so motivating. Everyone on the floor is pushing each other & cheering each other on.

The trainers are like no other. They push you to do things you never thought you could do and encourage and motivate you! Not to mention the one on one focus meetings you get to have to get on track with your goals.

I was so worried people would judge me. How I looked, how I moved but that wasn’t the case. Instead I got a community that just wants to see you work hard, push yourself and keep showing up.

In other gyms, I never pushed myself this hard. I honestly don’t think I would work as hard as I do at burn. And now I get FOMO when i miss a camp because not only do I love the workouts but I’ve made friendships I know will last.

And I have to shout out Childwatch! The staff are amazing! My kids love it! And it’s free!

If you’re on the fence, please come try it. It really will change your life!
I promise you won’t regret joining!”

“I love the accountability and camaraderie that OrangeTheory provides. The coaches and the mix of activities (weights, row, treadmill) make for a motivating workout!”

“Going to this place makes going to the gym FUN! This place is the BEST GYM around .. I drive a half hour one way to go because it's that GOOD ❤️. The community of people and all the coaches and the support are truly AMAZING! COME check it OUT!”

“Honestly, this gym has completely changed my lifestyle, and I’m incredibly grateful I decided to walk through the doors one year ago on 7/13/2025.

I was planning to wait until my official one-year anniversary to leave a review, but with this year’s Member/Non-Member Summer Challenge starting on 7/13/2026, I wanted to share my experience beforehand.

If you’re thinking about joining, stop waiting. Sign up for the challenge, show up consistently, trust the process, and see what happens. You might surprise yourself.

I have more energy, I can keep up with my family, stairs don’t make me lose my breath, I can enjoy the outdoors more, I’m more confident, haven’t been getting random colds, and most importantly, I’m feel like a role-model for my children again.

What I love most about Fitaholic is that it takes the guesswork out of fitness. The workouts are programmed for you, the instructors are knowledgeable and motivating, and the community is supportive and welcoming. You can genuinely have fun while improving your health, fitness, and confidence.

The habits I’ve built here haven’t just changed me. They’ve influenced my entire family’s outlook on health and fitness.

When I started:

• 5’9”, 38-year-old male
• Weight: 202 lbs
• Skeletal Muscle Mass: 89.7 lbs
• Body Fat: 22.4%
• BMI: 29.8

One year and 215 classes later (4.25 classes per week average):

• Weight: 169 lbs (-33 lbs)
• Skeletal Muscle Mass: 88.2 lbs (-1.5 lbs)
• Body Fat: 9.5% (-12.9%)
• BMI: 25 (-4.9)

In total, I’ve lost 29.1 pounds of body fat while maintaining nearly all of my muscle mass.

These results didn’t come from being perfect. They came from being consistent. Over the past year, I completed two separate 12-week calorie-deficit phases, showed up regularly, and kept working the plan.

A special thank you to my wife, Alisha, for leading the way and convincing me to join that first summer challenge.

And thank you to the incredible instructors: Mike Dunbar, Leah Scheid, Wyatt Dunbar, Averi Dunbar, Leah Meyer, Alyssa Branitski, Tracy McConkey, Jordan Falk, and everyone else who has coached, encouraged, and pushed me along the way.

Most importantly, thank you to the Fitaholic community. You’ve made this journey fun and helped keep me accountable, even on the days I showed up grumpy and complaining about the workout ahead.

Joining Fitaholic was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health. If you’re considering it, take the leap. One year from now, you’ll be glad you did”

“I've been going here for a good while now, and I absolutely LOVE IT! It's a great location and definitely worth the membership. I'm very happy they are still open 24 hours ?”

“Farrell’s Blaine has been my fitness home for the past year and a half. What started as a 10-week challenge turned into something I never wanted to leave even after my family moved farther away to Maple Grove. That alone speaks volumes about what makes this place so special.
Farrell’s Blaine is so much more than just a gym. What truly sets it apart is the community and the accountability. You are not just another number here; you are family. We truly do life together. The accountability is real. People notice when you show up, and they notice when you don’t, not out of pressure, but because they genuinely care about you and your growth.
Life can throw curveballs (believe me over the past year I have had many) Through it all, from the owner to the instructors, coaches, and fellow members, there is constant encouragement and support. They challenge you, push you, and help you grow both physically and personally. Removing excuses. From kickboxing to strength training, every class is high-energy, varied, and motivating. They even have virtual classes. Whether you’re throwing punches, lifting heavy, or in the trenches pushing through a tough workout, you are never alone.
They pour into you as a whole person, not just your fitness or nutrition goals. They listen and truly see and hear you…free of judgment.
I am incredibly thankful for Cindi, Heidi, the instructors, coaches, and every member who has invested in me. The impact this gym has had on my life, and the ripple effect it has created for my entire family, is truly remarkable. I cannot say enough about the heartbeat of this gym…transformation from the inside out.”

“Great experience and workout! The instructor was very helpful and knowledgeable, and everyone in the class was friendly and respectful. The fun atmosphere made it even better.”

“My favorite place to go. It a great way to lift weights safely. It's like you have a personal trainer. You get great instruction, with a plan. You get modifications base on your obstacles. 45 min class for a total workout.”

“My husband and I join NE Fitness in 2021 and I have attended more than 400 classes, we love it! I don't really like exercising, so having a coach and a class full of accepting, friendly people, really helps me accomplish my workout goals! Everyone can put what they want into each class, when I really push myself I walk out with a sense of accomplishment and a better mood than I walked in with. I have dreaded going to class on some days, but have always walked out so glad that I showed up. Clare, Monica, Liz, Jean, Ruth, Paige and all others have helped with improving my body mechanics and encouragement to challenge myself. I love that there are 30 min Express classes that I can get to after work and still be home to cook dinner. Keep up the great work NE friends!”

“The workout classes have increased my muscle strength. The coaching are encouraging, informative and helpful. The community is fun, motivating & keeps me coming. The coaches & community care about each person, and helps me be accountable for doing the classes. There are community get togethers that build the relationships as well. There is nothing like this club it stands out from the rest of them!”

“The manager Alex was so welcoming!! I was just here for a day trial great cozy gym. Having a conversation with Alex made me feel included definitely recommend ✅”

“Such an amazing community. I've been working out in this building for 7+ years and it has only gotten better and better. At Honor Fitness you will get coaches who truly care about you and your fitness journey, members who will learn your name and cheer you on, and owners who care DEEPLY about the business they've created and the members on whom it relies. If you listen to the wrong people CrossFit can feel intimidating, but nothing could be further from the truth at this gym. The workouts will be tailored to what fits you, and no one will make you feel like you shouldn't be there. My teenage daughter has worked out here, my 10 year old son has worked out here, and my wife (who would be the first to tell you that CrossFit was the last thing she would have expected to do) has joined the gym as well! If you doubt any of my praise to be true, come in and try to prove me wrong!”

“I joined the gym two years ago as a way to help get my diabetes more under control. In two years, I have seen my numbers move in the right direction. The coaches are welcoming and know the right ways to drive you towards your goals. Both my kids attend classes and enjoy the classes, coaches, classmates and most importantly, the environment. The community is amazing! Keep up the great work Gifford Fitness.”

“This gym is amazing, it has everything anyone could ever need. Location is perfect and very low traffic. Staff and patrons are very kind and respectful. Would highly recommend to anyone.”

“We love Ninja Class at Jam Hops! We have taken classes at the Ham Lake location for quite awhile. All of the coaches have been great, expertly juggling positive energy and motivation with keeping a gaggle of kids on task, and everyone has a great time. Safety is a priority and my kids get to grow and learn in a fun and safe environment. Can’t recommend enough.”

“I have been a member at Anytime Fitness - Little Canada for over a year. My experiences with staff, other members, equipment, and general space has always been good. I look forward to my workouts.”

“Had to visit last minute and found this amazing gym. Best price and if I lived there would join in a heartbeat. If your local and serious about throwing around some iron, this is the place.”

“When I was there yesterday and everything talking to the guy that works out with the head leader or owner, I liked what I learned, I'm a disability person instead of going to fitness physical with my insurance, I see these people, I will become better at where I can move better and walk better. I trust them more. How do I suppose”

“This gym is the best!! The workouts are challenging (but there are scale options so everyone can do the workout) and the community is unmatched. I’m always excited to come workout!”

“Before coming here, I had been dealing with a serious back injury for a long time. I went through physical therapy and worked with several different trainers, but I never felt like anyone truly identified the root of the problem. Then I met Ken. His assessment was completely different from anything I had experienced before. He noticed movement issues and underlying problems that no one else had caught, and for the first time I felt like there was a real plan instead of just treating the symptoms.

After that, I started working with Connor, and the results have been incredible. My mobility has improved dramatically, my strength has increased, and I’m moving with far less pain and much more confidence. Connor is an outstanding coach who is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping his clients succeed. He takes the time to explain why you’re doing each exercise and makes sure everything is tailored to your needs.

If you’re dealing with an injury, chronic pain, or just want a trainer who truly knows what they’re doing, I can’t recommend this gym enough. Ken’s assessment and Connor’s coaching have made a huge difference in my life, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything they’ve done”

“I have been going to the Planet Fitness at the Blaine Pheasant Ridge location, and overall, I have had a really good experience here.

One of the biggest positives is how clean the facility is. The gym is well kept, the equipment is maintained, and the overall environment feels fresh and comfortable to work out in. That makes a big difference when you are trying to get in, focus, and have a good workout. It is just a much more enjoyable experience when the space feels clean, organized, and cared for.

I will be honest, I hesitated to leave a review for a while because there used to be two young employees who were incredibly loud and distracting. They would squeal, hop around, and make a lot of unnecessary noise, which was frustrating when you are there trying to work out. It felt ironic because Planet Fitness makes a point of ringing the bell for “lunks,” yet the distraction was coming from the actual staff. That part really took away from the experience for a while.

That being said, those two no longer seem to be there, and it has made coming to this location much more pleasant. Since then, the atmosphere has felt calmer and more enjoyable.

Aside from that past issue, the staff and facility do a great job of keeping up with the cleaning, the equipment, and the overall feel of the gym. It is a nice place to work out, and I appreciate the effort that goes into keeping the environment clean and comfortable.”

“Great place to workout. All the things you would need for any level of fitness or program. Super clean all the time. All the people who workout here are super chill. And the people who work here are very easy going.”
