Fitness & Gyms in Manchester, NH

“My home gym is in Bedford, NH but I’ve been going to this location on Sunday’s due to the 7am class time! Coach Cassidy is awesome and always enjoy seeing her when she comes to Bedford for a guest appearance!”

“This place is awesome! My company was offered a free week of classes; I took one and was hooked instantly. Mikey was especially helpful with getting me set up and teaching me the proper techniques. The classes aren't just boxing, but a great mix of cardio and abs as well. I signed up for the unlimited membership and can't wait to keep coming back. The community there is very supportive too, I can't say anything but great things about this place!”

“This is such a fun space to practice aerial arts! The instructors are kind and supportive, and I love being able to work out in a way that doesn't always feel like work!”

“It's my 2nd year at this gym. Spacious, clean, new equipment and recently renovated. People are friendly, and they let me pay the whole thing up front, unlike some other gyms out there. Plus with my membership, I get to use both the Manchester and Londonderry locations. (The personal training though is quite expensive).”

“been going here since 2008...well run...when i travel and go to other gyms it makes me aware of the value here..great amount of floor space..great amount of equipment”

“everything i wanted in a Crossfit gym. knowlegeable coaches that coach and not just cheerlead. clean facility, showers, and a great ability to adapt workouts to anyones skillsets or limitations. love my gym family!”

“Great gym. Reasonably priced, staff and trainers are alright, pretty clean, the games on, and lots of equipment in there. 24/7 as well. Maybe the best in its class of cheaper gyms, ever since Planet Fitness got rid of Pizza.”

“Hey! So...You guys... If your even entertaining the idea of CF, Please look this gym aka family you never know how much you needed!!
As someone who hasn't really been able to work out at a good capacity since my knee surgery, Chris changed my life. Not only is he patient, understanding and fun to be around. He is motivating and knowledgeable, I have never felt so confident in working out. Plus if you love dogs, you will love this gym.Because you might see the sweet Lola, or other doggies when you go! I absolutely look forward to going to this place, every time! A++++++ fun place!”

“I am a multisport athlete and have been working with Drew for the past 2 years. This winter, I broke my tibia and fibula skiing, had surgery, and have been in a boot for 9 weeks. I've lost hard earned strength, range of motion and, let's face it, maybe just a little of my positive mental attitude. It's hard not to be humbled by something like this after feeling invincible for so long. One of the greatest blessings of my post-op recovery has been returning to The Fort. Drew is super knowledgeable and cares as much as I do about my recovery. After just 3 weeks back, my strength is returning and I am starting to walk without crutches. I don't think that would have been possible without him. I also believe that our health is tied deeply to the strength of our social network. The positive environment that Drew, Hannah, Danielle, KK, Molly and the Tuesday/Thursday morning athletes have created has helped me to heal, too. Injured? I highly recommend you find your way back to your most powerful self at The Fort.”

“This is an amazing gym. With a very welcoming environment and friendly people. I love what they have been doing with the place it very fun and clean. Great staff Autumn, and Jamie at the front desk go above and beyond to make sure you're taken care of. They just had 80s day yesterday and it was a blast i love the selfie wall and I Can't say enough good things about this gym!
The spa area is nice and clean. If your looking to relax, and they have lots of different workout equipment when its time to hit the weights or do cardio.”

“Goal setting is not a solo activity. Goal setting can only be as good as your network of relationships. If you’re not talking to the right people, you will not have the right information about your company or the competitive environment to set the right goals, and to adapt those goals as necessary in a very dynamic and complex business environment. A manager who understood this very well is Sarah Carmichael.

Sarah was a startup manager for Abercrombie & Fitch. When she went into that role, she understood that they could not afford to make many missteps because, frankly, the company was rather skeptical about whether their operations would work on College Campuses.

Sarah felt it was important that the whole company operate like a team..To do that, she wanted to make sure that they collaborated. So when everyone was setting their goals for their particular function or their particular area, she always encouraged them to make sure they thought through how what they were doing was going to impact others.

She thought that they needed to really work.. So she was constantly asking people, “Mark have you checked to see how that’s going to affect Jessica? Jessica, have you spent any time asking Jason what that will mean to the operation?”

Sarah held herself to the same standard. So when she was developing goals for the groups and adapting them—and that had to be done frequently because all kinds of things were happening in various stores in their region—she found herself setting up a “cc:” list of peers and superiors to whom she sent the list of goals and their progress on the goals, so she could get feedback and keep them informed about what she was doing.

She did this because she knew she had to make a number of very bold moves and use up valuable resources in the organization. She felt it was important in that she really establish transparency with all the relevant parties so that they would understand what she was up to and would trust her. She also really depended on and thought it was very important to get their collective thinking about the difficult judgment calls she was making. So she held a quarterly meeting in which she invited a subset of these individuals to come and meet with her and her team and go over where they were and what the new goals were going to be. Because, again, they were being adjusted continually; because when business plans hit reality, you discover that things are keeping up with seasonal changes.
Sarah didn’t worry too much about negative comments or criticism and in the end, Abercrombie & Fitch was very successful. And in fact, she became a person who was known as having a reputation for being a team player, for being a very clear thinker, and also for delivering on her goals, even in very trying circumstances.”

“I've started coming here about 4 months ago. I went with a black card option which is everything I do a long workout and then I get a massage after it either in the chair or laying down in the aquatic bed or I can do a tan which I haven't done yet but they offer that either laying down standing up perfect the staff here are phenomenal they are more than willing to help and trained you get you nice and fit what I really like is the stuff doesn't bother you they wait for you to come to them and if you want to get a session on how to use a machine they do that they'll give you a training session too on a workout this place is great all of their places are great I've been to many of them I highly recommend going with planet fitness”

“The clientele is just old dudes and special needs people. It's great! Has a pool, b ball court, steam room, sauna and daycare all for like 45$ a month. You cannot beat it. It also dodges all the crappy self obsessed gym types. Big fan!”
