Fitness & Gyms in Poughkeepsie, NY

“This gym has great, challenging classes. If you don't like to be bored when working out I would recommend signing up! The coaches are also super supportive and friendly.”

We ALL cheer on each other and our milestones. The friends and community here are really special. I can’t recommend enough! Come give it a try!!! 😊”

“This review is long overdue, but I can’t say enough good things about Fit Social’s personal training program. I came in wanting to get back in shape and build strength after years of sitting all day for work, and honestly, I was intimidated at first. I’m not a “gym rat” and have always been on the heavier side, so I was nervous about starting.

From my very first call with Steve, I could tell how much he cares about his people—their progress, their goals, and their mindset. His energy sets the tone for the whole studio. I worked primarily with Sarah, who was incredibly patient, empathetic, and flexible, but also pushed me in the best way possible. She challenged me while making sure I felt supported every step of the way.

What really stood out was how flexible they were whenever life got in the way. Whether I needed to pause or adjust, they worked with me to figure out what program fit best, without ever making me feel discouraged. The environment in the studio is motivating, positive, and focused not just on weight loss, but on building strength, health, and confidence.

After training here for over a year, I can honestly say it’s one of the most personal and supportive gyms I’ve ever experienced. Highly recommend to anyone in the Hudson Valley area who’s looking for a truly personalized approach and trainers who listen, motivate, and genuinely care.”

“Highly recommended! Whether it’s coming here for the gym, or coming to get trained with the trainer, it is definitely worth it. Trainer is very knowledgeable and knows exactly what he is talking about. I had a really awesome workout with him and he taught me many things. I believe almost everybody can do the workouts; workouts weren’t complicated, but they are intense! One of the best gym in the Dutchess County!”

“I've been a pretty consistent member for about 3 years now, usually here 5 days a week lol, and honestly the move from Hyde Park to Poughkeepsie was awesome.

I really like the new location, especially the yellow monkey bars/calisthenics area. I've been getting more into calisthenics lately so that was a huge plus for me.

Also, PF gets such a bad name for no reason lol. Everyone talks about the Lunk Alarm, but in 3 years I've literally never heard it go off. I come in, lift, do my thing and have never had an issue.

I do wish they had a shoulder/lat machine though. And I still miss the standing calf raise from Hyde Park. Why'd y'all get rid of it 😭

Haven't tried the new benches in the back yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

Overall, definitely happy with the move. The new location feels like an upgrade, and the calisthenics stuff especially was a great addition.

Also Shout out the the crew. They're always welcoming! Especially the night crew! Go Kenneth!”

“Decent gym. Definitely nothing fancy. Great option for those new to the gym experience. $15 a month option let's you give it a try without too much commitment or breaking the bank.”

“Mary P, our class instructor is fabulous! My friend and I have not worked out in years, and Mary’s class is easy, fun, but boy … what a work out!!! I have been going to gyms sporadically for decades. Crunch is the only one I have truly enjoyed. I’m making this a weekly ritual … 🥰 … Debi Lee (Mike’s mom … not sure why his name came up 🤷‍♂)
6/25/26 …. I decided to give the newest personal trainer a try. He joined us in Mary P’s class and he enjoyed it plus spoke to us about his credentials. I have multiple injuries on my right side from shoulder to foot and I’ve been working with John Fontaine for three weeks now … And boy does he know his stuff. He is given me exercises to strengthen more muscles than I knew I had to support my injuries. Believe it or not I see a big difference already. I highly recommend if you were working around injuries give John a try he he’s the best! Thanks John 😎”

“This is one of my favorite gyms. The staff is always polite, friendly, and helpful. The gym is always clean and it has a pool with nice warm water, but my only complaint is that the hours aren't quite late enough. They have an elevator for people who can't do stairs. There's no scale or pressure to lose weight, and they're really nice people.”

“The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful at all times. Plenty of free weights and workout machines so there's very little wait time to interrupt your workout routine. They have a full basketball court, 2 full sized indoor soccer fields and 3 full volleyball courts. Downstate North volleyball club operates out of this location. They're also located right next to the Hudson Valley rail trail, which goes from Hopewell Junction to Highland.”
