“Fantastic equipment selection for anyone looking for a powerlifting / strongman specific training session, or general functional fitness. Incredibly easy drop in process.”
“Once an ad on Instagram, I would repeatedly scroll by, has now become a key part of my weekly routine. Trainers Brandon and Christina are truly masters of their craft and make their clients feel both seen and heard. Their respective training styles engage and encourage us all as a community. As a member of large commercialized gyms in the city, TheGym Philly, has a warm, inviting feel with big energy that extends far beyond its brick walls on Melon street.
So grateful to be apart of this community of gym-goers. There are many days where I wish I joined sooner!”

“I can’t say enough good things about my experience at CrossFit Renaissance. As someone who was completely new to CrossFit and came in with a pretty limited skill level, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew I wanted to get stronger, improve my fitness, and challenge myself, but I was also intimidated by the idea of walking into a CrossFit gym where everyone seemed to know what they were doing. From the start, the coaches at CFR made me feel welcome and comfortable. They took the time to teach me the fundamentals, explain the movements, correct my form, and answer my questions without ever making me feel like I was behind. Their patience made a huge difference, especially as I learned movements and exercises that were new to me. The coaches cared about helping me improve. They pushed me when I needed to be pushed, but they also knew when to slow things down and help me understand what I was capable of. They didn’t just show me how to do the workouts. They helped me see what I could become if I stayed consistent and kept challenging myself. The class environment is another huge strength. Everyone is supportive, encouraging, and happy to see each other improve. There is a sense of community without the feeling that you have to compete with everyone around you. Whether you are experienced or brand new, you feel like you belong there. That made it much easier for me to keep showing up and continue pushing myself. I also appreciated the flexibility of the class schedule. Being able to find classes that worked around my schedule made it much easier to stay consistent. I came in wanting to work out and get in better shape, but I also have a different mindset about fitness. I feel stronger, more confident, and much more motivated to continue working toward becoming the best version of myself. I’m grateful for the dedication, patience, and encouragement of the entire team. The coaches don’t just teach you how to work out. They challenge you to believe that you are capable of more than you think. For someone new to CrossFit, that made all the difference. If you’re considering trying CrossFit but are nervous because you’re a beginner or feel like you’re not in good enough shape yet, I would recommend giving CrossFit Renaissance a try. You don’t have to walk in already knowing what you’re doing. They’ll meet you where you are, teach you the ropes, push you and help you grow from there. I’m really glad I took that first step this summer as CFR helped me start building a lifestyle around fitness that I want to continue.”
“As someone who struggled to get back into the gym for years, Novem fit is incredible. I do the 2 time a week bootcamp class program. The atmosphere and vibes are so welcoming. All of the class trainers are so personable and helpful. They are super welcoming to newcomers and really dedicated to your success. Couldn’t recommend it more.”
“My partner and I were in Rittenhouse area for the World Cup and got a 10 Pack punch card. We really enjoyed the space and members. Great showers/facilities + Great coaches. Go see Maura for gymnastics and work out strategies and Mike for strength!”

“I can't tell you enough, just how much I love going to F45 Training classes now. At first I was intimidated but now I have the confidence to go as many times as possible. The instructors let me know what I am doing wrong and are super encouraging. Even thought the classes are super challenging, I'm about to switch my plan to unlimited because I'm all in now.”

Highly recommended for all levels of fitness. This very easily became part of my routine and I do classes 4-5 times a week. Thank you to Pure Energie!!”
“This gym is great. Very friendly & supportive atmosphere. I was new to CrossFit & a little intimidated at first, but you can really go at your own pace & the coaches are great at adapting the workouts to your ability level. If you don’t want to do the CrossFit workout, there is always a boot camp option, which is a great workout & a little easier skill-wise if you are new to CrossFit. I’ve been athletic my whole life & the workouts are some of the best I’ve had at any gym. You can try a class for free before joining. Definitely recommend!”

“My husband and I joined this gym because it was around the corner from our condo in callowhill. I have to say, without a doubt, it was the best gym ever. This gym felt like an extension of our house, it was casual and had every piece of equipment you would need. I only like cardio and free weights and they had it all! I would recommend to anyone to become a member. Also, it was extremely affordable in an otherwise inflated economy. Thanks for keeping your prices fair! We moved out of Philly, but we will miss this gym!!”

“If you want a workout that actually changes your fitness, Goals Fit in Manayunk is it. Kasey runs early-morning HIIT classes that fold in running and hill sprints, so you get strength and conditioning in one session instead of choosing between them.
What sets Kasey apart is her read on people. She knows exactly when to push and how hard, so you leave every class having done more than you thought you could, without ever feeling broken. That instinct is rare and it’s the whole reason I keep showing up.
The group format makes it. Everyone shows up supportive, no ego, and the crew is genuinely fun to be around at 6 a.m., which is no small thing.
I also train with Kasey on running-specific work, track sessions for speed and hill repeats for power. My pace and strength have both jumped since I started. The workouts are always creative and fun!
Kasey is one of the best fitness trainers in the Philadelphia area, full stop. If you want real results and a community worth waking up for, Goals Fit is where you’ll find both!”
“Been a member since 2024 after moving to the area for school, and this was the first gym I joined where I didn’t already know anyone. That can be intimidating, but it didn’t take long for BPF to feel like home.
I had an experience during the 4 PM class today that perfectly captures what this place is all about. After a heavy deadlift strength session, the finisher WOD was a brutal (but awesome) 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1 ladder of heavy power cleans with 5 box jumps each round. The class was packed, especially for a Monday, and when the timer started, the entire building shook as thousands of pounds of barbells hit the floor at once with the first rep. It was one of those rare, powerful moments that gives you chills… right before you snap back and realize you’ve got to finish the workout.
I’ve been doing CrossFit since 2017, and I can honestly say there’s no better place to train than BPF. The coaches consistently push you to be better, and the community makes every bit of hard work and the grind worth it.”

“Visiting for the holidays an dropped in. Owner/coach very nice and welcoming the members were very welcoming as well always feels good to walk into a crossfit gym and get the same community it is known for. Would absolutely recommend whether looking for a gym or just visiting the area this is your spot”
“This was my first time at Barry’s! I knew it was going to be a challenge, so I was a little nervous, but our instructor Jonathan created a really welcoming environment, gave clear instructions and was super motivating!
The front desk team provided a great introduction as well. Ensuring you knew what to expect, how the treadmill operated and that you are always able to make adjustments, slow the tempo or take a break.
I would highly recommend checking this place out and attending Jonathan’s class!”

Overall, it's just a wonderful community, clean studio, nice equipment, great coaches, and I look forward to going every day!”

“I love the rates and class environment. I also like that the staff ensures that I am doing the workouts correctly. They also have great class times . Sometimes I feel like it’s a little cliquish. I feel ignored like the trainers have certain people that they like. I did my 16 classes and think that I will find a new place to workout.”
“Amazing space. Just had my first Breathwork session with Ari. It was a powerful immersive experience. It was a pleasure to meet a wonderful community of individuals that came to the class. Highly recommend! Will be coming back”
“My Hyrox partner and I needed to do the drop in for a race simulation. This gym was able to do more than accommodate . The space was huge, clean, and all equipment accessible. We were shown around and they even had some Hyrox ready information so had to do even less guess work for our workout. Everyone was super nice and friendly and it’s great to have accessible parking. Would recommend !”
“KG Strong
KG Strong is the absolute best place to train in Philadelphia. Katie has created a space that is powerful, inclusive, and grounded in real expertise. Her programming is intentional and incredibly effective. You will get stronger, sharper, and more confident every time you walk in the door. I've seen it happen in my self and with my work out peers at KG Strong. We love it!
The community she’s built is welcoming, supportive, and filled with people who genuinely want to see each other thrive. If you’re looking for a strength studio that actually knows what it’s doing, this is it. A true Philly treasure.”
“Expert Care for the Whole Body
The center is clean, and Dr. Mika'il and his team are attentive and knowledgeable. The workouts are effective and considerate of any limitations, with every detail focused on the entire body as needed. The sauna is a huge plus. I highly recommend them — if you want to be a good steward over your body, this is the place to go!”

“I was a member for nearly three years and found the gym to be a peaceful space for routine workouts--and very convenient as a tenant at The National. (The bliss of not having to leave the building for the gym when it's downpouring or when temps are in single digits is a real thing.) The Kinesis equipment also made my workouts more interesting, as long as you look up some exercise options ahead of time or ask a trainer about it.
Overall, a quality, clean, no-stress gym experience.”
“My experience at Warhorse has been extremely positive. I came to the gym looking to get more comfortable with strength training, and it was a great fit. The program they offered me was easy to follow, with helpful videos demonstrating each move so I always knew proper form.
I worked with Matty during small group personal training and he was awesome. He was patient, gave great tips, and offered alternative moves whenever I needed them. I’d highly recommend Warhorse to anyone looking to build strength in a supportive environment!”
