“Cassie Dimmick with Achieving Your Best has been incredible to work with. Cassie and her team are truly at the top of their game. She truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to help people grow personally and professionally. Her positive attitude, encouragement, and expertise make a huge difference. If you’re looking for someone in Springfield who is passionate about helping others succeed and become the best version of themselves, I highly recommend Achieving Your Best! A+”
“This place is planting the seeds of confidence and mental and physical strength in children and adults alike. I personally am grateful for this place and rhe example Johnny sets for the kids. Thank you!”
“I tried this gym out when visiting family. This gym is great. They have a large variety of equipment and machines. They have some old school equipment that I thought was pretty cool. Very clean, everyone was nice. The only gym in Springfield that I believe is better, is an other Rage Fitness”
“F45 makes me feel like an athlete again, almost 20 years removed from actually being part of a competitive sport. I appreciate the encouraging atmosphere, relaxed but also involved coaches, and the challenge of having rotating classes and new moves every day. I’ve tried many other gyms of many types and they don’t compare!”
“I began working out here 3 months ago without any previous weightlifting experience and while also lacking any strength or fitness. I started out taking 4 of the one-on-one personal training sessions with the owner, Mel, to learn how to do all of the basic movements of Crossfit. These classes really proved to be an invaluable start to doing Crossfit, as Mel slowly introduced me to the gym, taught me how to actually do Crossfit classes, how to do each movement without risking injury, and how to appropriately scale movements to your skill level.
Since joining the group classes, I was immediately welcomed into an extremely friendly and encouraging atmosphere. The coaches strongly prioritize safety and skill while heavily discouraging any injury-risking egolifting. The classes themselves are fun, and there is a general humor and comradery among all of the members of this gym, no matter which class you attend. Over the last few months of working out here and eating healthier, I have gotten noticeably stronger and have benefited greatly from these classes as a whole.
Additionally, Mel and his wife Jacinda are both Christian believers who provide wonderful fellowship, and who create an extremely caring and warm atmosphere for everyone who attends, regardless of skill or fitness level. I would highly recommend this gym to anybody who is interested in getting stronger, making friends, and genuinely improving their quality of life.
Thank you Mel and Jacinda for this wonderful experience!”
“If you’re debating whether to sign up—do it. This place is truly life-changing. I joined over two months ago, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health. The coaches, staff, and members are all incredibly supportive and welcoming.”
“I’ve been going to dynamic body for almost 3 years now and don’t know what I’d do without it! I feel stronger, younger, healthier, happier, and have more energy!! Lindsey especially is amazing in her guidance and individualization to her clients with their restrictions. Everyone who is part of the staff is incredible!”
“Love the small gym vibes. Machines are nicer than most gyms. Always clean and staff are always encouraging and uplifting. Do wish the cardio room was a bit more organized, but it's still a great space all around.”
“My kids love this park. Got a nice walking track, baseball field, playground, grills and picnic area. Very clean and has bathrooms that are open unless it's a holiday, then they are closed.”
“I've been working with Jenn as my personal trainer since fall and I have only good things to say! Every time I would try to start working out on my own I would end up hurting my back due to my form being off. So I really wanted help with form and pushing myself as much as possible. Jenn has been absolutely amazing & so knowledgeable when it came down to that. I genuinely look forward to getting to the gym now! Everyone at propel has been so encouraging and kind. It's been a great experience for me!”

“I just joined this gym and what I like most is the homey feeling and not overly packed with people. The bathroom is very homey feeling as well. The lady who enrolled me was so welcoming and informative.”
“I work at a gym, I’ve been to 50+ gyms across the country, and this place takes the throne. I’ve been here 3 times now and it hasn’t disappointed. Almost all Atlantis equipment that seems to be hand picked. It has all of the best Atlantis has to offer in my opinion. The atmosphere is great as well (music, members, and art). The employees are helpful and always cleaning. The layout is perfectly separated. There seems to be a recovery room and outdoor gym for members as well. My only complaint is I don’t live nearby.”
“Where some people discredit for a loose toilet seat, GP outshines this with high quality toilet paper! Not some single ply cheap stuff.
Jokes aside, this gym has always welcomed me with open arms. The community and family environment is the best I’ve found in my 13 years of training in the 417. Their open gym on Saturday, free day passes (multiple), and buyout program, make for a seamless transition when looking for a new gym. The staff and athletes at GP are always happy to help. The gym itself is geared towards functional/competitive training. However, with the community aspect, it is also a great place for beginners!”
“Employees were very knowledgeable and clear with explaining the gym membership. They took the time to show me the equipment and classes they offer. Everyone was friendly and supportive of my goals . Members are polite and engaging. Highly recommended this gym no matter your level of fitness.”

“Jake Vance helped me today with my new membership. He was very knowledgeable and quite inspiring 🙂
The price is just right along with all the amenities!
I can’t wait to get started tomorrow 🏋♂”
“For a small, non-chain fitness center, it is well equipped and they are adding another large room. Appreciate when local businesses continue to strive for excellence.”
“Cleanest planet fitness I’ve been too in awhile. Every morning I saw the floor scrubber running. That’s really important to me because I do a lot of ground workouts. They still have the 30minute circuit area too which is the main reason I go to Planet Fitness. Many other locations are taking them out:(”
“A gym like no other. I have been going here off and on since 2019. This is a place to not only get stronger, but to grow as a person. Every member, including the staff, is very sweet and most importantly - very impressive and acts as inspiration for you. This gym embodies what it means to be a hard-working, kind-hearted member of a very tight knit community.”

“I have been at the Genesis South Springfield location for 9 years and the Management Staff and employees have been great to work with. Open 24 hours during the week is extremely helpful. I recommend the Genesis Health Health Club.”
“This is such a welcoming community. I'm a novice but the way people cheer me on and support me makes me feel like I'm killing it. People there are genuinely excited to see people improve and get stronger at any level.
Dorsey is a fantastic teacher, but what's extra cool is that everyone pitches in to give positive advice.
The coaching holds the perfect balance between encouragement to push yourself while staying safe and using good form.
I'm so happy I found this place!”

“I had shoulder surgery today at the Meyer Center (2-25-24) with Dr. Putnam. (He's the best!!) He came in my room before surgery and explained what was going to happen. He's very personable and knows his business! The nurse that came in to get my vitals and start my iv was fantastic! She got me ready to go with kindness and compassion. When it was time to be wheeled to pre op (I think that's what it's called) Bianca came to get me. She was precious ♥️ She did her job, and went over and above to make sure I was comfortable. Another nurse gave me warm blankets; it was so warm and comforting. I hope I spelled Bianca's name right, because we had the name spelling name conversation! ? She's a good egg. She also gave me my "I don't care" med in my iv and I'm sure she did many other things regarding my care. She was also there when I started waking up and wheeled me back to my room. Thank you, girl! Brenda helped me get dressed and took me out to the car. Also very kind, helpful and compassionate ?Meyer Center (and Cox) sure have it all covered with great employees. I have zero complaints about my experience there!!!! Thank you all for taking such good care of me!! ?”
“Planet fitness is always a pleasure I love going there. Everybody minds their own business. You have no one staring at you. I’ve been to multiple ones in different states. I am a truck driver so they most of them do accommodate trucks drivers overall most definitely a decent place to go now all they need is to be is children friendly. I have a granddaughter and I want to bring her with me on the road, but I work out a lot after my shift and unfortunately they do not. It’s not a kid friendly establishment so if they do that, it would be hands-down the best butthey’re not kid friendly so that’s my only downside. I still gave them five stars.”
“We had a great time here! We’ve been a few times and decided it would be an excellent 2nd birthday party location. Great rates, friendly staff and the kids has a blast!”
“Doling gym was okay, nice spacing for equipment, dont feel as crowded as the other family centers and the pool was nice, feels a little small after going to chesterfield but great for little kids. Changing rooms and some rooms have a shower. Staff is friendly and respectful.”
“If you’re looking for a CrossFit gym you found it! It can be intimidating seeing all these fit people doing things you might not be able to but all the members are the nicest and coolest people in the world. The coaches here are incredible! They push you, they give you on the fly adjustments, or even go the extra mile to work with you 1 on 1 until you get the movement correct. This is crossfit, so expect hard but I promise you it’s worth it and this is the gym to do it at!”
“I cannot say enough about how respectable and professional this team is toward beginners like me. Strength training with Coach Tom is both challenging and supportive. I noticed positive changes in my posture, balance and ease of lifting and carrying everyday items like groceries or children after just a few sessions. Those results have lasted, even after a several month hiatus from the workout due to illness. The environment is clean, modern and professional, and the atmosphere of other clients is friendly and low stress. If you are considering starting your health journey through muscle-building, you need to start here.”
“My son has attended Springfield Taekwondo for the past year and the changes I've seen in him are dramatic. He has a new level of confidence that he can only get from earning his belts and learning discipline. The instructor is great with children and adults alike. I highly recommend Springfield Taekwondo to everyone.”
“This is were every Sunday you can play ping pong with some very good Ayers this is no Forrest Gump show. This is for real. Anyone who can play or wants to learn is welcome. Cost is 4.00, and you play from 1:30-5:30 if you can handle the pace.”

“Love love love this AF whenever I’m down in Springfield. It’s super clean and well managed and I just love the old school gym vibe of the back rooms. It’s one of my favorites around the country and always feels like a second home gym!!!”
“Gymology is the one and only gym i would recommend in springfield. I spent a little over 3 years building myself in this gym. They have everything you would need, i wasnt ever having to wait long periods just to use on piece of equipment and i never felt judgement from other members. Any time i had to speak with the owners they were always polite and helpful. If you are someone just starting your journey or an experienced gym rat, gymology is the place for you.”
