Fitness & Gyms near Mount Vernon, NY

“You're going to love this gym depending on what you're looking for.If you want strong man equipment (atlas stones, farmer walks, yoke etc) and other athletic equipment you won't find at most commercial gyms (I.E. reverse hyper, power sled, tires etc), if you want a gym where people go to actually get stronger, more fit, athletic, if you want a gym where people are serious about their lifting craft, this is the place to be.The atmosphere can be intimidating but 90% of the people are very friendly and approachable. Willing to give you advice and help.The gym is not at all means the most aesthetically pleasing. It's dark, industrial and pretty dimly lit. If you want a bright, neon lit, sterile gym, not the place for you.The cleanliness could be better, and the organization could be better. I can say that. Sometimes weights and equipment is thrown and left all over the place. So annoying.This gym is kind of out the way depending on where you're located. It's only a 5 minute walk from the Mount Vernon west metro north station and about 10 minute walk from the 2 train from Wakefield. Driving is possible with good parking and there's some bee line buses that are close by.All-in-all, if you're serious about being an athlete, this IS the gym you want to be apart of in Westchester and NY in general.PROS:-A gym for people who are serious about gaining strength and being athletic-Lots of very strong people for extra motivation-Great community-Strong man equipmentCONS:-A little out the way depending if you're outside or NYC (though a quick walk from the Metro North)-Not for those who want a regular, casual gym-Not pretty”

“Best gym ever! I saw so much change in me. Coach Mike is amazing too. Pushes you hard which I like. If your a wimp don’t come. Great atmosphere here and the people are very friendly. Facility is clean and well equipped. I highly recommend everyone to join here.”

“Fantastic for individualized/ personal training. I have been working with Coach Sandra for about a year and have been getting the results I always wanted but have never achieved anywhere else. I love it!”

“10/10 recommend Synergy! A smaller gym that really is more of a community. Tons of equipment and very clean. The staff is amazing - Ray (the manager) is always so attentive and kind. I am going to miss this place so much! Always the highlight of my day!”

“I highly recommend Ms. Allison enough as a swim instructor. My 4-year-old son started lessons with her a few months ago, and the progress he’s made is incredible. She’s warm, patient, and has such a gentle way with young kids, making them feel comfortable right from the start.
During each 30-minute lesson, she’s fully focused on the kids, and it’s clear how much she cares about helping them succeed. Thanks to her guidance, my son now floats on his own and has totally overcome his fear of water. He actually loves swimming now and can’t wait for his lesson every week. Ms. Allison has been a true gift for us!”

“been training with Coach Gabriel for a while now, and I can honestly say he’s one of the best out there. He’s personable, respectful, and truly cares about each of his clients. He doesn’t just show up, he connects with everyone, pays attention to your form, your mindset, and your goals. You pay for quality, and that’s exactly what you get.

He’s knowledgeable, patient, and always keeps it real. He’ll push you when you need it but also reminds you that we’re all human, fighting our own battles, and that’s something I really respect. Training with him feels like more than just fitness; it’s growth, discipline, and support all in one. Highly recommend!”

“My favorite gym ?? A full body workout, with a coach readily available to lead you through it. The music pumps, and I always feel better that t feel went.

It helped me learn how to work out properly, and meet some friends along the way.”

“It's been an incredible experience for me at NorthEast Health Performance--Manny and his team are true partners in your health journey with their exceptional expertise and encouragement. The facility itself is absolutely top-notch and the encouraging culture is simply tremendous...keeps me coming back for more!”

“Brian and Celina very helpful at the front. Zack is an excellent teacher
Kudus to Tony for keeping all the bathrooms, and showers clean.

It’s remarkable that other gyms nickel and dime you for towels but when you come to this orange theory, the towels are complimentary and the space is clean and modern.

Lastly, I love this location because it steps away from just salad a good a coffee shop and Trader Joe’s all great places to stop for a post recovery!”

“Orangetheory classes always deliver as promised. I love that they incorporate scientific methods and tools to keep us in motion and efficiently trained in a safe and effective manner that produces outstanding results.I return to them again, again, and again because they incorporate a rich combination of HIIT, strength, yoga, and Pilates, and a myriad of crosstraining approaches to give me an exceptional workout experience.The trainers are top class and aim to motivate every member to give their best and to excel at every level and session. The staff is stellar, friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help.Orangetheory welcomes members of all fitness levels, and so the "only hard-core members" claim is not entirely accurate as members are encouraged to pursue their own personal fitness goals.The studios are clean, well maintained, and spacious enough to accommodate us for every routine.With my unlimited membership, I can take classes at any studio while maintaining a majority of my classes at my home studio.I would highly recommend Orangetheory to anyone who wants to see results and is committed to staying fit at any level from mid to the highest level.”

“I love this kickboxing place. It is clean and there’s enough space. Instructors are qualified, passionate and motivational. One of my favorite trainers is Bella! Her workouts are challenging yet fun. They are never the same because she always creates new ones each session. For my ADHD girlies, 10/10.”

“Joining this 9Rounds was the best
Decision that I made for my mental and physical health. This gym helped me eliminate my high blood pressure and get in shape all while boosting my confidence. The team of trainers are amazing. Thank you for helping me add more value to my life ????”

“I definitely recommend anyone who is willing to learn how to box to come down to Boxingology. They have some of the Best Trainers that’s down to earth & is willing to go all out if you are dedicated enough.”

“Glenn is a great coach! Funny personality that makes you feel comfortable coming to class every time. He is very flexible with the workouts. I’m a beginner and he always works with me to make the workouts work for me. He also challenges me when I complain of not wanting to do it. (I need that!) lol He kicked my ass today after a month and change of no working out but it feels good! Oh! And I love his reggaeton music playlist! Makes the workout even better! :)”

“Joined OTF in Edgewater in July 2024, but ended up injuring myself shortly after (unrelated to OTF). I had to freeze my account for a few months until I felt ready to return. It was as seamless as can be.
Shout outs to Greg and Gabe who hold the front desk like champs!
Back at it this summer ‘25 and trying to keep it up as often as possible.
Many thanks to the coaches for the motivation and push when needed, funny jokes and community spirit, and especially for correcting my form to improve that workouts.
Highly recommend the OTF in Edgewater!”

“My experience at f45 in Scarsdale has been life changing! Since joining, I have rebuilt my entire routine and feel a part of a community. The work outs are geared towards all fitness levels and certainly help you reach your goals. I've become a lot stronger and have challenged myself in more ways than not. I take most classes with Coach Amanda and Coach Tiffany during the week and feel so supported every time I walk in! They take the time to ensure your form is correct and I feel so comfortable asking questions. The energy is contagious in there because the instructors truly build you up and encourage you throughout the entire class. The members are also supportive and I've made friends along the way that inspire me to sign up for weekly classes. I recommend f45 in Scarsdale to anyone and everyone I meet! Try it and you won't regret it!! :)”

“With roots from one of the first CrossFit affiliates in NYC, this space is exactly what you want in a box.

The coaches do well to accommodate all levels, with members ranging from beginner to regional games athletes. The space isn’t huge though you don’t really feel it as classes are capped. Well worth checking out if just for the friendly community.

Overall, best option in the neighborhood.”

“Training with Coach Rommel has been one of the best decisions I've made for my health and fitness. From day one, he created a supportive and motivating environment that pushed me to become stronger, more confident, and more disciplined.

Coach Rommel is incredibly knowledgeable, not just about workouts and technique, but also about mindset, recovery, and nutrition. He pays close attention to form and always explains the why behind every movement. Whether it’s strength training, conditioning, or mobility work, he knows how to tailor each session to match your goals and fitness level.

What I appreciate most is his patience, encouragement, and consistency. He challenges you without ever making you feel judged or overwhelmed. Thanks to his coaching, I’ve seen real results, not just in my body, but in my attitude and energy levels too.”

“Oh I’ve had an amazing experience at Harlem cycle! From Bernex’s high energy rides to Shelly‘s soca sessions it’s been wonderful. All my classes have been engaging and fantastic. I always feel welcomed when I enter their studios and I feel supported along my fitness journey.”

“Amy at RB Fitness is the literal best! I’ve been training with her for about 2 months and it’s been bittersweet! She’s someone who pushes you and motivates you to keep aspiring toward your goal. She’s genuine and personable which is why I would recommend her to anyone who asks me where and who I work out with. I’ve never been consistent with my weight loss journey more than I am now because of the constant support from Amy. She truly cares about her clients by helping you with your form, inquires about injuries so she can customize your workout and makes sure that you feel comfortable in your own skin while working toward your goals. Thank you isn’t enough for what she has helped me accomplish in such a short time. So if you are someone looking to really commit toward your wellness journey, she’s your gal!”

“Grassroots is an unmatched community gym. I was part of the Women's Strength group for over a year, during which my lifts and mobility improved considerably. This place will always have a strong hold on me! What to expect: an incredible group of trainers, a challenging + well-planned training schedule, and a grounding & welcoming community.”

“The team and leadership at the Tappan Club are customer service–focused, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. I’ve had recurring issues with Retro Fitness corporate regarding how they process members with an Ultimate Membership. Maddie (spelling?) has been absolutely wonderful — not only in diffusing my frustration but also in creating a workaround to ensure I’m not humiliated each time I’m wrongfully flagged for using the privileges my membership includes. If it weren’t for the positive customer experience Maddie and her staff provide, I’d probably be a Planet Fitness member by now.”

“I’ve been a member of Orange Theory Mamaroneck for almost a year now, and it’s been such a rewarding experience! A big thanks to Julissa, who encouraged me to join—I've seen significant improvements in my endurance since starting.

The coaches are incredibly helpful and motivating, the classes are always varied and never repetitive, and the front desk staff is so welcoming. Julissa, in particular, goes above and beyond with her creativity, constantly finding exciting ways to make events more engaging and fun.

The energy from the members is also inspiring—it’s so motivating to work out alongside such dedicated individuals. My personal favorite is the 90-minute classes; they’re always fun, challenging, and keep me coming back for more!

I highly recommend Orange Theory Mamaroneck to anyone looking for a supportive and energetic fitness community.”

“It's no secret that Nadine is the best spin instructor ever. She has been an absolute inspiration and has always been in great spirits. Nadine is always able to push us to the best of our abilities and get us to achieve our goals in a very welcoming environment. I love taking Nadine's class!”

“Mostly good overall. Main complaint is that the club is consistently packed. There are maybe two (non consecutive) hours out of the whole day where I can get access to all the equipment that I intend to use.Otherwise, it's improvising a 'Plan B' workout. Or doing a lot of waiting for the equipment I actually want.”

“Great gym love all the coaches and they keep the facility very clean - my endurance and strength have made significant improvement - I couldn’t stand the overcrowded gyms lately and fighting for a spot on the weights - OT is worth the money”

“Love this place. My membership is strictly for access to the gym not for the classes. The space itself is well kept and very open. It is perfect for a workout. I enjoy the easy access into the gym, simply open the door with my cellphone and get to work. I go in the early mornings and usually have the space all to myself and my tunes.Also Eoghan is awesome, he designed specific strength programs to improve my strength for my jujitsu training. I have nothing but positive things to say about Uptown Movement it is a really great place with wonderful people.”

“This place is great for working out. They have an app that's easy to use to sign up for classes. The coaches are great. I just wish they had more classes available in the evening.”

“Have been a member for about a year now. Can say that this is one of the cleanest gyms I’ve been to. Not only is it nice to see clean machines & organized equipment but also the environment and staff have been super welcoming. Special thanks to Lori for being very kind.”

“Ave is an incredible trainer. After multiple unsuccessful attempts at teaching myself how to clean a barbell, Ave successfully taught me how to not only clean a barbell with confidence, but integrate the movement into my weekly split.
I’m am forever thankful. Thank you Ave”
