Fitness & Gyms in Allentown, PA

“Around a month in and without a doubt I can say this is an incredible gym with top notch instruction , community , and staff. The entire tenth planet team is incredibly welcoming and the environment makes training highly addictive and fun. This is a place with lots of care and thought put into it and I can’t recommend it enough.”

“I took a free class this week and my favorite part of the experience was the positive atmosphere, excellent trainers/staff, and leaving the hour session feeling a good burn. I would suggest calling them or stopping into the exercise studio to see the variety of classes they offer..The classes are cardio and strength training based.
The staff are dedicated to health and have a positive attitude. If you are out of shape, this is a great way to become more knowledgeable of strength training and pushing your limits. It was the most fun I had while training cardio, even as an avid runner in high school.
I think I will sign up for more classes, although I see the going rate as a bit high.(I am poor). They do offer differing levels of membership packages. I think the 8 classes a month( approx. $90) would be great for anyone who has limited time in their schedule but would like a push forward with their workouts. The workout can be intense and rewarding, but it also feels like it can be whatever you make it. There are younger and older people who attend and seems all share similar goals. I think with a higher price tag it brings in kind people who are committed to their health. You get what you pay for. Gym is very clean and well maintained. You'll push your limits and enjoy yourself.”

“Both of my kids are attending classes here and for 3 years now and they learned so much and physically got so much stronger! Coach Mike is super great with kids and has a lot of patience. Its very friendly atmosphere for the children to learn and get better at the bjj!”

“I recently visited F13 Performance in Allentown while I was in the area and initially only planned on purchasing a day pass. I wanted to check out a few different gyms during my visit, but a good friend highly recommended F13, so I decided to give it a try.

The moment I walked in, I knew this wasn’t going to be just a quick workout. The facility immediately felt inviting and well thought out. From the training areas to the lounge and seating spaces, everything seemed intentionally designed by people who genuinely understand what gym members want and need. It was obvious to me that whoever owns and operates this facility actually uses and understands gyms themselves.

I was impressed by the professionalism of the staff, the cleanliness of the facility, and the overall atmosphere. The gym offers multiple large training areas packed with equipment, giving members plenty of options for every muscle group and training style. I especially noticed an impressive variety of back and leg equipment, along with plenty of space to train without feeling crowded.

As someone who enjoys chest training the most, I personally found myself wishing for a few more chest-specific machine options beyond the traditional benches and dumbbells, although that may simply come down to my own training preferences and familiarity with certain equipment.

One thing that really stood out to me was the quality of the equipment throughout the gym. I especially loved the Watson machines. You could immediately feel the difference in quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail compared to equipment found in many commercial gyms. The fit, finish, and overall feel of the machines made training enjoyable and showed that the owners invested in equipment that serious gym-goers can appreciate.

The locker rooms and bathrooms were also top-notch, offering plenty of space, privacy, and clean shower facilities.

What started as a single day pass turned into a full week membership because I enjoyed the experience so much. I ended up training there every day during my stay and had positive interactions with both the staff and members throughout the week.

Overall, F13 Performance felt like a gym that was built by people who genuinely love training and understand what members are looking for. The atmosphere was welcoming, the facility was clean and organized, the equipment selection was excellent, and the staff consistently provided a positive experience.

I would absolutely recommend F13 Performance to anyone in the Allentown area looking for a clean, well-equipped gym with a welcoming atmosphere and a team that clearly cares about the member experience.”

“Competitive Edge Power & Fitness is an outstanding gym and hands down one of the best places to train if you're serious about your fitness goals. The atmosphere is focused, welcoming, and free from the distractions and chaos that often come with large commercial gyms. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to help, whether you're a beginner or an experienced lifter looking to take your training to the next level. The equipment, environment, and community create the perfect setting to work hard and stay motivated. If you're looking for a place where you can train with purpose, get real support, and avoid the typical commercial gym crowds, Competitive Edge Power & Fitness is absolutely the right choice. Highly recommended! 💪🏋‍♂”

“Easy to enroll. A lot of options for classes vss free gym. My interest is the coached classes and the programming is superb and appropriately challenging, with a of options to scale.”

“I love barre3. I first started going to the Allentown studio about two years ago, took a break, and have now been back consistently for the past three months. The Signature 60 (Sig60) class is my favorite—I really appreciate that there are always modifications available, which makes the workouts accessible but still challenging.

The instructors are amazing. Kelly and Deirdre are especially great—they’ll kindly come over to help adjust my form, which I really value. I’ve also taken classes with Tina and Julie, and they’re just as wonderful. You can truly tell that all of the instructors love what they do, and their encouragement makes such a difference.”

“I don't know what part of my brain thought it'd be fun to try out Crossfit 6 weeks postpartum after baby #4. The class was hard but Tash gave me several modifications to get through the workout. I realized how weak my core was and out of shape I had gotten. I signed up for elements and decided to do the 3month membership to see how it goes. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made!! Joining helped me to think about fitness in a whole new way, not just working out to burn calories. I felt myself get stronger and build endurance. I first realized this when it felt easy carrying my baby in one arm while picking up my tantruming toddler in the other. Crossfit Lehigh valley helped me to try things I never thought I could or would do. Who even am I doing a power snatch?! Not only do you get expert feedback from coaches about proper form, but modification options according to your current skill level. All the coaches are so helpful and strangers give you fist bumps and tell you good job after workouts. After my 3 month membership finished, I unfortunately decided to pause before renewing. Being at the mercy of an exclusively breastfed baby and a babysitter schedule, it was hard to make all the classes I wanted to go to. But I hope to be back! I'd recommend CrossFit Lehigh Valley to anyone!”

“I had a treadmill stop suddenly during my run, which was a bit scary at first. The staff quickly restarted it and checked if it needed repair, which I appreciated. It hasn’t happened again since. That said, a few machines show signs of heavy use and could use tightening or replacement parts. Still, I keep coming because the space and support are better than nearby options.”

“Dropped in while on vacation. Met Ian coach and I believe owner. Very accommodating great place to workout and super friendly atmosphere. Idrop into alot of boxes and this place is worth the visit.”

“Probably the best gym around. LOVE the staff they have, always greet you with a smile, and they’re consistently helpful and friendly. The gym is always clean, organized, and everyone respects the space. It has pretty much everything you could ask for at a fair price. Honestly, I couldn’t ask for a better gym to be a part of!”

“5 stars from me!! I was on the can and had run fresh out of toilet paper. Called the front desk and some dude named Andrew picked up. I explained the predicament. I was his top priority and he threw a brand new toilet paper roll over the stall door for me. Who knows what would've happened to me if he hadn't been there.”

“I joined during a rough phase of my life, feeling low energy and no motivation. Slowly, the routine here changed that. The trainers don’t over-talk, but they notice when you’re doing something wrong. One small moment that stayed with me was when a staff member encouraged me after I increased my bench press weight. It’s not just gym now, it feels like a place I reset my mind.”

“Great place to workout. Pull-up bars and parallel bars. Also, some rock boulders that are good for box jumps. Wood chips on the ground. Bathroom and water fountain nearby in playground.”

“My son started Kindergarten this year at LLCS and so far so good. He loves school and it's amazing how fast he is learning. Teachers show that they truly care for my son and answer all my questions. With me LLCS gets a thumbs up!!.”

“Quaniesha even though I didn’t have the funds on time I was still able come in only for the one time cause my bill was due she has great courtesy and costumer service”

“Our first year in the program and I was able to see my daughters progress at the showcase yesterday. My daughter is at a whole new level in a short amount of time. Great coaches and while I see the comments regarding the cost, I get it but in this case you get what you pay for. Wow, what amazing progress for my kid.”

“Greatest gym! We love dressing up when we work out and Planet Fitness is very accepting of this. Lots of equipment to use, friendly atmosphere, and cheapest gym around! Highly recomment Planet Fitness!”

“I’m just at the beginning of my fitness journey, and choosing to train with Brad was honestly the best decision I could have made. It has truly been life changing. From day 1, he made me feel comfortable, motivated, and confident, even when I doubted myself.

Brad is not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but he also genuinely cares. He knows exactly how to push you while still supporting you every step of the way. Because of him, I have already started seeing real results. I've lost real weight, and am feeling stronger, confident, and actually excited about working out!

I never thought I would say this, but going to the gym is now something I look forward to. If you want real results and a trainer who will completely transform the way you feel about yourself, Brad is the one.

Highly, highly recommend!”

“To get your covid shot, it's the second building on the right by the second parking lot. You exit at the 1st parking lot and this is if you follow the directions on Google maps.”

“My husband and I have been members since 2018. We enjoy all the benefits of child care/fitness/ pool use. Family hours are very accommodating on weekends and addition of kids classes to keep the whole family active. Had 2 birthday pool parties here. Fair prices with member discount. Would recommend free refreshments/coffee at the desk opposed to paying as a member as other companies do. Worn equipment finally being replaced. Could work on refilling the sanitizing stations more frequently.”

“Been coming here for a few years, really good gym and love coming back, employees are always very friendly and nice.

My only semi-complaint, I wish there were some more Stairmaster machines, both machine are constantly taken when I am there (I come in the afternoons) and now 1 of 2 machines is broken. There is other equipment at that gym I see rarely used, so totally get there is limited space.”

“Stop taking selfies, put your phones down, and work out. And nobody wants to see the TikTok you are filming in the locker room. Please move out of my way. Thank you for your prompt compliance.”

“Pretty good gym. The people are nice and at times can be helpful. They’ll give you advice with your workouts. The only thing is the locker room smells and it’s pretty tiny.”
