“I wish there was another Zumba class during the week on Wednesday around 545 like before. I love Kali Zumba class on Monday. Tracy aerobic classes on Tues and Thurs are awesome! And Zumba Sat Morning with Michelle will definitely get your heart rate up. It's never too crowded and the machines I use are usually available or don't have a long wait. Overall I would recommend”

“Thank you Jackie for spending time getting me started on a healthy fitness program! The equipment is very high tech and it is making a great difference in my stamina and quality of life!!”

“I absolutely love Solstice! The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and motivating. The workouts are intense but effective, and the community here is supportive and friendly. I've seen amazing progress in my fitness since joining. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get fit and have fun!”

“Jabz DH really is the best! The coaches are fun and lively, the music is always a great mix and the workouts are challenging but fun! These classes are great for beginners and everyone is so encouraging!”

“AMAZING GYM!!!! I have been a gym rat for more than half my life, and after a long search, I finally found the gym I was looking for!!! At 610fitness, you get personal training every time. The classes are fun, and you truly feel the workout. I'm comfortable knowing that the trainers are professionally trained and make sure every time that you are using proper techniques.There are many different training opportunities available at this gym, and the owner Zack is flexible and does his best to make the gym work for you. I have recommended 610FITNESS to my whole family and friends. This gym is the real "judgment free zone" and is perfect for all body types and fitness levels!!!??”

“Power Plant Gym is a welcoming, approachable gym that offers group lifting, personal training, and programming. In addition to traditional weight lifting, they are a strongman gym, so if you've ever wanted to pull cars or toss kegs, go check them out! This is a great gym for everyone from beginners to experts.”

“I love this gym! I do the group classes, Not only are the workouts just planned out perfectly but it’s the people too. I’ve written reviews before about fort delco but right now I am experiencing an injury, arthritis in my knee and it’s so nice every time I go the coaches ask how your feeling and help you modify and they truly care! It’s like home away from home feeling, I can’t say enough about toms gym, it’s a very special place !!”

“My 13 yo son started their middle school program a few months ago. We really appreciate the organization of the program and the instruction from the trainers. The flexible schedule is great and it's easy to register through the app. But most importantly, my son is getting stronger and gaining confidence which translates to his other sports. It's a very positive experience so far and we will soon be enrolling our younger son.”

“Staff greeted and said goodbye when leaving, which is nice. I go later at night when it's not as busy, so machines are generally available to use every time. It's a good location to visit.”

“What an amazing gym! The owners/coaches are always there helping members , encouraging and cheering you on. They make each class fun but challenging, the push you to be better and are rooting for you every step of the way! The members are like family, welcoming and friendly! Honestly, best place to go if you’re new to working out or if you are already a veteran to that gym life. You will love it at Sonic Boom!”

“Movement Rx Studio always offers challenging fitness classes, and great workouts! Christine does an awesome job of accommodating peoples’ injuries and ability levels. The atmosphere in her smaller studio is so much nicer than going to a big gym:)”

“I’m coming up on 1 year at Loyalty, after working out at a commercial gym for 5 years. I hurt myself lifting in 2020 and needed a herniated disc removed. After it finally healed I gained a ton of weight and needed to workout again.In my 1 year at CrossFit Loyalty I’ve lost 40lbs and I’m stronger than I was before my injury.Justin, along with the other coaches, helped me work around my injuries and get me to where I’m at today.”

“Planet Fitness has exceeded my expectations as the best gym around. The welcoming atmosphere, top-notch equipment, and friendly staff create an environment that motivates me to stay committed to my fitness goals. The variety of workout options and affordable membership make it a standout choice. I highly recommend Planet Fitness to anyone looking for a gym that truly cares about its members' well-being.”

“Ed is the man you want to see if you’re tired of putting off getting healthy and taking responsibility for your fitness.He helped me realize my potential and learn how to correctly lift with form and Safety being important. If you’ve been thinking of hiring a personal trainer to get you on the road to a healthy lifestyle I can’t recommend Grind time fitness enough, I felt it was totally worth the money.”

“Before finding CrossFit, I was looking for that 1-on-1 training without the heavy expense. I’m not a person who can workout alone. Fortunately, CrossFit was able to support me. I’m not paying an arm and leg, I’ve dropped a pants size within 6 weeks, and the entire establishment is friendly and supportive. Oh! and I’m finally seeing progress in my glutes ❤️ LOVE IT”

“Wonderful experience. Dropping in for a few days and Dakota was very friendly and accommodating. Great community and excellent classes and programming. Can’t go wrong with this box.”

“This experience has been great! Rob is super friendly and knowledgable and is really taking the time to work with me to get me up to speed (both physically and learning CF in general). I look forward to working with him and all of the coaches and athletes on this fitness journey”

“I thoroughly enjoy my workouts with Ryan. I like working out and being pushed and Ryan certainly does that. He isn’t an “in your face” kind of trainer and I appreciate that. He motivates you but doesn’t make you feel bad about yourself. Two thumbs up from me! Would highly recommend him!”

“I worked out here for probably 10-12 months before moving back to Manayunk. I really liked it there. The place was clean, convenient, and the hours of operations were good for a local gym. They have a ton of equipment for a smaller location which made the membership dues worth it. I never used their personal trainers, but there were a few of them that were always there and available to book.”

“Dan has the best gym for traing! He does private training ! One on ones! He does a Saturday morning training with various stations setup and you go round to each one! Great place where the police and firemen have done their training! Go visit today and get all the options! He has those giant tires to flip, weight benches to do lifting! So go try it out! Havertown easy access a few blocks from the YMCA!”

“I have been a member of OTF Ardmore since last August. I needed a way to stay in shape and lose weight consistently, in addition to meeting new people. After my free class, I was hooked! The one hour classes are tough, but the variability in templates each time I come makes class fun and worth it. Even the special days/benchmark workouts are another bonus since I get to see my progress and compete with others in a friendly way. The staff and coaches are very friendly from the moment you first walk into the front desk to the 1:1 coaching feedback I receive during my workouts. I give this studio a 10/10 and would recommend OTF to anyone willing to try!!”

“A meat head gym- no doubt! This place is typically not staffed except for when a new member needs to sign up and makes arrangements ahead of time by calling or e-mailing now. You can even get a 1 day pass online and not have to make actual contact nor is it expected probably. For the monthly pass, with no enrollment fees, mind you, you would need to make an appointment the first time around. If you can make it at least 5 times to the gym within the month, then it is worth getting the 24-7 access by the month. Most gyms wanted to charge me an enrollment fee for a partial one month period, and it was just not worth it to do that for me. Most gyms don't have 24-7 access and those that do will tack on this enrollment fee. I was planning to work out manually but then I had thought of this gym and tried asking and glad I did! There are showering facilities which I wouldn't have expected, but it's super nice to know that I don't have to leave sweaty and head straight back home if I don't want to. Definitely a potential incentive to keep working out and makes it feel less like a stressful event. One of the showers doesn't even work currently, but there are two others that do. The toilet paper rolls look worn out and it feels like if they were fixed, some musclehead might accidentally break it again by pulling too hard on it. Another one, during one time I was there, the water was accidentally left on and I turned it off, I could see how one might be in a hurry and not have closed the faucet all the way. You just try to do the right thing with minor things like that. Most clients probably would prefer to drive home and use their own comfortable shower rather than the one provided here. There are also a few bottles of wipes provided, but I was probably the only one who would use them or maybe they would only be used by others if sweat got on the equipment. There's a whole array of apparel from online that can be shipped directly to you and pictures of history and pride of the gym and the owner's past interests and successes. I can't fully appreciate the equipment that is here nor understand how to use much of it. I tried to look what equipment was what and how to use it when I could and sometimes I just did things by looking and feeling them out enough but making sure I could handle the weights and such if things didn't quite go as I expected. The only thing I wish this gym and most gyms could have is an optional local community event to get together and just chit chat once in awhile, maybe like every month or 2 or 3 months. I have run into a few that do this or did this once in a rare occasion to try it out, but it is a way to try to build community so that I'm not just showing up and leaving. Gyms that have classes, as I can't make those regularly, I'm not able to socialize that way. So, the classes have become not a big deal to me. The personal trainers I've tried at other gyms is hit or miss, more miss The trainers I tend to like to work with the least are the ones that have been hired through a mainstream gym because many of these people only want to work with certain clientele and they may do things like not show up to their appointment or put someone else in place when that is not the standard practice at most gyms (and this probably should be the standard practice at most mainstream gyms.) They are trying to go for the "relational" connection building, but most gyms are way too transient for this on both the client and staff sides to be effective. A few reviews have said that one can just ask others for help. While I probably could've, I did feel like as a non-jock, I would be intruding on someone else's workout and if I asked them something, what could I offer them back that they would want? Sometimes, a "thank you" might be enough, but I guess living in this world and how it's changed and socially, not for the better, I feel uncomfortable without more context. Even something as simple as I recognize that brand name on”

“Ellis Athletic Center is a great place to workout. The outside yard area (pushing the sled and in the morning there is PERFECT SUN for those of us who love to be outside) , the trx area in the gymnasium and the yoga classes on the weekends are my favorite parts of the gym. The staff is extremely supportive and motivating. It's just a really positive place to be. To be honest the one area that Ellis Athletic could approve upon is to offer more morning classes in the 730-8am time frame. Most of the classes are 930 and onward which is great for people who don't work! That being said, not a huge deal just a small detail I think could be better. Grateful that I live right across the street of such a great gym!”

“I have been a member of Legion Transformation Center for almost 6 years off and on. I recently completed a member challenge that is offered through the gym and had great results! The gym offers private training as well as group fitness classes. The coaches are great! Very knowledgeable and supportive and motivating. Initially I was intimidated but now I look forward to coming to classes. If you are on the fence about joining, reach out and try a class. You won’t regret it!”

“I enjoyed my time working out here! EB the head trainer welcomes in all new attendees with open arms. After you attend once you become a part of the family. This gym has fostered a sense of community that then fosters accountability and drive. The environment is second to none and I genuinely recommend going to this gym no matter what level you’re at in your journey.”

“My four year Anniversary is coming up with working out at Customized Phitness and it's the best decision I have ever made. Thanks to Marcus, I am in the best physical shape I think I have ever been in and the smallest I've been since before having children. He cares about the whole person as seen with the passion he has for fitness and nutrition. Marcus is happy to share this knowledge with whoever wants to listen and better themselves. I never would have thought I'd say this but I hate when life or work get in the way and I have to miss a morning at the gym. I highly recommend you come join us! Great people, clean facility, never the same workout, good for all fitness levels and with one of the best trainer's out there!”

“Been here multiple gyms with a friend, it’s a great gym. The equipment is top notch, (mostly Rogue), the environment is great, powerlifting friendly, has some machines & a boxing ring with trainers. I believe it’s 24/7 access if you pay extra for a key card, which is another plus. I’ve never signed up because I live too far to come everyday, but I would 100% sign up if you’re looking for a good local gym. The only thing I could say it needs is some upgrades, like some light fixtures or some new machine equipment. That’s all.”

“This review is long overdue. Simply put, Fight Shape is amazing. I first started going to this gym in October 2022 and I can honestly say it changed my life. I’ve been to other gyms before, but there’s nothing like Fight Shape. I can’t explain it, you just have to try it, and you will be hooked. Thank you to everyone there, all the trainers, especially Steve, for making me physically and mentally stronger. Joining Fight Shape was honestly one of the best decisions of my life, and I am so grateful for them. All of the instructors/trainers are awesome! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Fight Shape!!”

“With a small parking lot and small facility, you might be able to socialize but you might be coming in just to work out and then leaving as in pretty much any place. This place is cash only and let's you pay lump sum and will waive enrollment fee if so. More places are starting to offer the lump sum option now instead of me having to ask for it. I was looking for a gym for one month but it is tough because either I am paying an enrollment fee AND one month which isn't worth it at all, or I pay by the class and some places have very limited hours. I could probably do Planet again or even Orange Theory but I was hoping to find a more local place. If this place was a closer commute for me, it would be worth it for me to sign up for a year. I want a self paced place since most places are either you get pushed and if you take a break or go too slow, you have to leave or are asked what is wrong with you. Everyone has different needs and wants. Or I do not have a budget for a personal trainer and some of the ones I have had at chain gyms are really particular about who they want to work with, and paying in full beforehand is not always enough sadly. I have a gym reimbursement fund but I have used it up for the year and that is a factor that is important to me too. At the end of the day, I understand that part of a gym experience (for me) is picking a place that will not overly stress me out. Accessibility and getting for what I paid's worth and all the peculiarities are important to me. You can't get 24-7 access unless you pay for a full year. This was probably the biggest clincher for me. Also as it is a small community atmosphere gym, holiday hours are not necessarily reflected on signs and website. You just have to ask or make it work. It is also cash only. 12/22/23 addition: When I first came to ask about enrollment options during hours, they were closed early for that and I got an announcement through the Ring bell to come back the next day, which thankfully I could. When I came back the next day, I was told a little story about how a "bum" came up one time just fiddling around with the door like nobody's business. Then, when the owner spoke through the Ring bell, the "bum" thought Jesus had spoken to him and he behaved himself after that! The joy of technology!! In my opinion, this is a good gym choice if you want a self paced workout and can pay in full for the year for the 24-7 access. Also, if you aren't looking for something that has a clean and polished look, which I don't need but I am open to either way, this is a good choice.”

“It's a very clean and has all types of equipment to perform all your workouts plus they have personal trainers and friendly staff. The rates are very reasonable. I recommend this facility.”
