Great gym, plenty of high quality equipment, and on top of everything, the staff are wonderful and friendly. Highly recommend this spot if you live in the city and you're looking for a gym, or if you're visiting and staying nearby.

Such a fantastic gym - the price for membership is very reasonable for the area, they consistently offer a wide array of classes, it's clean, well-equipped, and the staff members are always so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend to those searching for a gym in the area!

Visited Philadelphia for a week in Sep'23 and took out a week's pass. Love this gym! Marissa was very welcoming & friendly. The gym was clean, well equipped with a large studio space to stretch/warm up, as well as in the main floor with multiple weight machines & a free weight section. Never felt crowded, no matter what time I showed up.Highly recommended!

I love this place. I've been a member for several years. In my opinion Optimal Sport 1315 is the best gym in the city. The staff and management are extremely attentive to the needs of the members.Kvn ShapiroMae Downs & Co.

Horrible experience with cancellation.Gym in city is extremely tight, extremely low ceilings (personally me, not having issues with claustrophobia, had discomfort there). Pretty much packed, some of the inventory out of order and most of them pretty old, and gym takes !!! every three months something like $40 or $50 to keep inventory updated. Not good experience at all. I was paying half of the price that I was paying at life time fitness and got service worse than planet fitness.

This is a great gym to train at with a welcoming staff(Marissa,Joe,Erik) and good equipment. As an IFBB Pro, a good gym environment is important. I've been to various gyms across the country and would recommend Optimal Optimal Sport 1315 to athletes and those who want a great experience in the gym

I LOVE this gym. I was a member for a couple of years before I moved to a different area (and thus a different gym, unfortunately), and I didn’t realize how much I was going to miss it, especially its vibrant community.I recently moved back to the neighborhood, though, and one of the first things I did was re-join Optimal — yes, I missed it that much! I can happily say that after all this time, even after the pandemic, it’s just as awesome as I remember it to be — clean, very well-equipped, and full of some of the warmest, friendliest, and most fitness-savvy people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, and Marissa (the general manager) and Jeff (the owner) are so kind and easy to talk to.There’s a reason why Optimal has such a loyal client base, and it’s not just because it’s an excellent facility; it’s also a superlatively welcoming, positive space and community. I’m thrilled to be back!

I was recently in town and came for a single day guest pass. The gym is equipped appropriately, clean, has modern equipment in good condition. It is a very solid establishment and worth checking out.The person on duty was asleep when I came in the morning of November 5th and impolite when I had to wake him up. He was asleep once again when I finished.

THE STAFF AND PT ARE FRIENDLY, PROFESSIONAL AND MAKE THIS A GREAT PLACE TO GET A GOOD WORKOUT....ONLY COMPLAINT IS THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH SQUAT RACKS OR DUMBELL SPACE.

I was a member of this gym for 2 years and had an excellent experience. The staff and management were very helpful and friendly and the equipment was always great. If I ever move back to philly I will be returning.

I was a member of Optimal Sport Health Club pre-COVID. I recently rejoined Optimal Gym and I'm so glad I did! It's great to be back in the gym and be in such a fantastic facility. The staff is extremely pleasant and welcoming, they have high quality exercise classes, and quality and experience of trainers is excellent! Also, the gym is extremely clean and I feel very safe which is extremelyimportant to me in a post-COVID world! Most of all it's a fun place to work out due to the friendly staff and members. I highly recommend Optimal if you are looking for a new gym to join!

I moved into the city and was looking for a new gym to call my second home and I found Optimal. I walked in on the first day and was met by someone a the front desk with a nice hello and shown the lay out. This gym is great for if your a beginner and trying to find your way or someone who knows your there doing. There Hours of operation also fit in my life perfectly. On my second day and everyday since I have been met with the same great Greeting at the desk and when I walk out " You worked out now have a great rest of the day" The trainers there are great and I ones that I have talked just want to see everyone win. Ima wrap this up by saying I found my new home and look forward to going to the gym daily.

My husband and I have been members here for 8 years and I go so often that it feels like my second home. The owners, staff, trainers and other members are all very friendly and that helps make it enjoyable to work out. It suits all ages and fitness levels and has all the equipment I need for a good workout. It's also convenient, affordable and clean, which has been especially important to me since Covid. I have been to many gyms and this has been my favorite, hands down.

This is by far the dirtiest place in center city. Spray bottles are water or watered down. The HVAC system is old and full of debris. Just ask them if the coils have been cleaned. Don't worry though. Someone cleans the place once per day hopefully right before you get there at 6am. The place is a swamp of infestation and germs. It's proud that the owners are gay but why are they so cheap and don't care about your health. They don't workout here, that's a fact. Go elsewhere, Sweat, Planet Fitness or risk getting severely infected.
