“Swung in to check out Iron Forge while visiting family in the area.
The gym was fantastic with great highend equipment. The community was very welcoming as well. I'll defiantly try to swing back in next time in town!”
“Had 2 of our HS Slap hitters take a 1 hour season starter refresher and the girls couldn't stop talking about how excited they were to incorporate the tips and takeaways from just that one lesson.
Thanks Maria and 360U family!”

“Burn boot camp is the best place to get a great workout in. Such a strong community with so much love and support. Blessed to have a gym with Childwatch so a mama like me can get a good workout in!”
“Had my first Limitless Elite Gym experience today and it was beautiful. It has an old school powerlifting gym feel with solid equipment. This reminds me of a powerlifting gym I used to go to when I was working in Pittsburgh. No fluff just CHALK, GRIT, GAINS, and SPIT. This was day 1 of my 3 day pass and I can’t wait to return. I didn’t get a full workout in as I was on lunch from work and wanted check out their equipment, get a feel for the layout, and get a quick pump. Now that, that’s out of the way I plan to return with a vengeance. If you’re a no nonsense, gains driven, athlete looking to get away from the whinny, BS, gimmicky gyms like PF look no further. This is where the titans grow and play.”

“This was an impressive gym. Initially it seems unassuming from the exterior. As soon as you walk in you’re met with a pleasant and professional atmosphere. The machines appeared to be clean and well maintained. This is a great choice for a daily gym in Appleton.”

“A great gymn with great people and a great owner/trainer! Heidi is very personable and bubbly and wants to see and help every person reach their own personal goals, whether its muscle building, weight loss, general mobility, or anything else. The environment is focused, but family friendly.”
“So glad I found an awesome workout community! Each day when I walk through the doors I am always greeted with smiles and hellos! What a great environment FIRE has. I love challenging myself alongside so many others who are doing the same!”
“Xcel Sportsplex is the cleanest gym I have gone to. The staff is friendly and very helpful; as are the people that attend there. They have a good assortment of equipment to use and rarely have I had to wait to use what I go there for. They offer many different classes that are fun. There is a large gym where many pickleball games can be going on at the same time. I have been attending Xcel Sportsplex for many years. It is also very affordable.”
“I cannot recommend Fire Fitness enough. At 44, I’ve tried my fair share of gyms over the years, but this is the first place I’ve actually been able to stick with. Over my three-year journey here, I’ve lost 80 lbs, but more importantly, I’ve found a community.
The coaches are absolutely amazing. They have a gift for pushing you to be your best while truly understanding and respecting your limits. What I love most is how they celebrate every single win—whether it’s hitting a milestone for the number of camps attended or finally mastering a movement I couldn’t do before.
You truly feel like part of a family at Fire. If you’re looking for a supportive, encouraging environment where you aren't just a number, this is it!”

“I joined Full Send about two months ago with my husband, and it has honestly been one of the most positive gym experiences I’ve ever had. From the very beginning, the coaching team created an environment that feels welcoming, supportive, and genuinely human. Sam Davis in particular deserves a lot of credit for that. His ability to navigate group dynamics is thoughtful, attentive, and steady. He manages to hold the room in a way that makes everyone feel included without ever making it feel forced or performative.
As a beginner, I’ve also been deeply grateful for the patience of the coaching staff. Sam has probably taught me the same movements more times than either of us can count. To be fair, I suspect I forget them immediately due to nerves and the sudden realization that my body has many muscles I apparently never met before. Instead of frustration, the response has always been humor and encouragement. That combination of patience and lightheartedness makes it much easier to keep trying, which matters more than people realize when you're new to something like this.
Another thing that has stood out to me is how comfortable I’ve felt in the space as a woman. The culture at Full Send is respectful and grounded, and that makes a real difference. The environment feels supportive rather than competitive in a way that pushes people out, and I’ve always felt safe and welcomed showing up to train.
What’s even better is that the workouts themselves are working. In just two months I’ve already noticed real changes in my strength and mobility. Movements that felt impossible at the beginning are starting to click, and it’s incredibly motivating to see that progress happen.
Between the coaching, the facility, and the community that gathers there, Full Send feels like a rare find. It genuinely feels like stumbling onto a treasure chest you didn’t know existed. I can’t really imagine wanting to train anywhere else at this point. If you’re looking for a gym where the coaching is thoughtful, the atmosphere is encouraging, and people actually care about helping you improve, Full Send is something special.”

“I took a break from orange theory due to a busy schedule with work and school… needless to say I have finally been able to come back and the staff have been nothing but open arms and amazing! They remembered me and we picked up right where we left off! The staff are energetic, knowledgeable, super encouraging, supportive and really set the tone! They help keep me motivated during the workouts and push me to want to do better and be better! I truly love the energy and vibe at orange theory and am very thankful for the coaches! If you have never tried orange theory I highly recommend it!!!”
“Great gym. They have all the equipment you could think of and its high quality equipment. I do hope they add a traditional sauna the infrared just doesn’t feel the same.”
“Love it! Not sure the name of the fella (staff Monday-Friday) who is there when I get there at 3am but he is wonderful. He is always kind, says good morning, makes sure to clean and organize the gym. Always busy and never sitting around. He is supper attentive. Great customer service. He even went as far as to asking if I wanted to tan so I didn't have to wait or track him down. How thoughtful. Give that guy a kudos and a few paid hours off. As a supervisor myself, this is high quality work and it's hard to find those people now days who want to do it! Thank you for the great staff!!”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been back at this Y, been awhile. It’s good to be back. Great Y with lots to do.
Basketball courts are good. In door track is good. Not busy at all. Indoor playground is great for little ones on rainy a day. Indoor slash pad was fun. Swimming pool was good, except some random teenagers took my kid’s swimming goggles that I had to go track down.
Front desk is well staffed. Great service. Very understanding. Thank you helping get our large group in.”
“Sidney is very friendly and helpful. He went above and beyond to find an answer to a question I had. Walking through the doors is always an incredible experience when I see Sidney at the desk.”

“I didn’t come in expecting anything special compared to other gyms I’ve been to, but this place actually surprised me in a good way.
I saw some pretty 50/50 reviews beforehand, but after spending time training here myself, I honestly don’t think they reflect the reality. A lot of the criticism seems to come from people who maybe aren’t very consistent or focused in their workouts and then end up putting the blame on the gym.
What stood out to me as well is how approachable and welcoming the people here are, which makes the whole experience better. Overall, I’ve ended up having a much more positive impression than I expected.”
“Great staff and equipment. Very clean. Cancelled membership due to life changes and they made it an extremely easy 5 second process with no pressure. I’ve been with this gym for many years and it has always treated me well.”
“We went this week to get our retired dad a tour and we were lucky enough to have Tom, the executive director, walk us around the facilities. It was great!!! He took time out of his busy day to show us around. He made us all so excited about joining such a welcoming community. There were so many amenities tailored to my dad’s interests. My dad walked in skeptical and walked out ready to join the YMCA!”
“Absolutely amazing!! To start, the front desk workers are extremely personable and helpful. The equipment as well as the atmosphere are the best in the valley! 100% recommend”
