Fit Plus has been my second home for nearly six months. I have never had much interest in team…read moresports, but I was getting bored with my gym membership and wanted to trying something new. I prefer to exercise at a high intensity and knew that martial arts have a reputation for delivering on this, so I stopped by to sign up for the 30-day free trial offered by the gym. A quick note - don't be put off by the gym's appearance! The building is the former home of Titans Gymnastic Club and is a bit worse for the wear, but is quite spacious and has plenty of equipment. This is a gym for those who are serious about training, so don't expect an interior comparable to that of Goodlife. I tried Introductory Muay Thai and boxing, the latter being the discipline that I chose after the trial was over. The club also offers Jiu-Jitsu, women's boot camp, and children's classes. I have been fortunate to work under the tutelage of several instructors, all of whom are highly-qualified in their field and very effective as teachers. They will work you to your utmost - be prepared for the most effective workout you've ever done! The class sizes are generally small, especially at the advanced level, so you can be sure to obtain plenty of one-on-one attention. Many of the members fight competitively (including TJ Grant); if your goal is to make it to the professional level, the instructors will help you to achieve it. The membership prices vary; it's more expensive than a typical gym membership but you are receiving customized one-on-one attention, which makes the extra cost well worth it. The gym also has a small pro shop where you can purchase equipment, all of which is high quality. I've had, and hope to continue having, an exhilarating and incredibly rewarding experience as a member of Fit Plus Dartmouth. Drop in and give it a shot!

No such thing as too muscular at this gym! But don't be intimidated. They are nice super hero…read morelooking people. I love going to Fitness Fx. If only for the fact that I am an average, skinny, 5'10 male. And a lot of the guys who go to this gym are professional body builder's! Its great to walk up to them lifting eighty pounds or more with one arm and I'm there with my nice and light fifteen or twenty pounds. I try to stare them down but they simply laugh at me. This gym boasts "a full stock of dumbbells ranging from 3 all the way up to 160 lbs." This is very true. I never find myself waiting for a dumbbell set because someone is using it. They have enough for everyone. And they are improving! they have added what they call a "cardio theatre." In other words, they have more cardio equipment. There is an open space concept which has its advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that everyone can see you while you are working out. But in my opinion, just get some confidence and remind yourself that no matter what body type you are, you rock! Then rock it out! The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. If you start talking to them you find out right away that you feel part of a team or a family. They are there to support you. It feels more like a team or family first and a business second. Which is very important to me. They also have a juice bar and a lot of televisions so you can watch Oprah while on the cardio machines. Their prices are the same as most other gym's. Not very expensive but not quite cheap. In my opinion, you definitely are getting a good price. With the addition of new, on site tanning beds they are showing that they are keeping up with the competition at a steady pace. Fitness Fx has been one of my favorite gyms for all of the above reasons. But perhaps the reason why I give it a fourth star is because they are improving with new equipment, more programs and store renovations without increasing the price of their membership. One of the most admirable things I have seen a gym do in a long time! And I definitely took notice. So stop sitting around, reading my reviews and head for the gym! Afterwards get a protein shake and go back to reading my reviews. :)

A great neighbourhood gym. When I first started coming here I didn't think they had enough cardio…read moreequipment - because that's my fall back - but once I became a regular I realized that's just not why people go to Fitness Fx. Whatever machine I'm interested in is usually available immediately or within 20 minutes. It's a very friendly place, and things are generally tidy and ready to use. I do find that depending on the time of day there are some folks who forget the "please don't drop your weights and scare the jittery among us" rule, and clang their weights pretty hard on the ground. That said, the management have responded well to this kind of problem and promised to remind repeat-offenders to control their dumbells lest they bounce on someone's toes and cause a more serious injury than a simple pulled hamstring. The rates are really reasonable, and they've been good lately at updating their class schedule too. ETA: Within hours of writing my review I went to get some exercise and found new cardio machines all set up! Well done, guys :)

They continued to charge my credit card for months and refused to refund me, despite extenuating circumstances. I don't care about your company policy, I care about how you treat your members, who are people, not just money in the bank. This gym is only after your money. The prices are insanely high for what you get (zero discount if you're a student!!) and it's the same workout over and over again, which means it's repetitive and boring. I would never recommend this gym to anyone. I'm disgusted with how my personal health situation was handled.

Exercising and getting fit is hard work, it's sweat and it's aches. At 30 Minute Hit, Phil and…read moreSteffi don't pretend it's any other way. They don't try and tell you that it's any sort of miracle activity that'll get you looking like you could slay vampires or make you strong enough to punch out Nouveau Rocky. What they do offer is support, encouragement, and a healthy dose of reality. It's gonna hurt, it's going to knock the breath out of you, but you're going to be healthier and stronger, and it'll totally be worth it. Note, I said healthier, not skinnier. Yes, if you punch the hell out of the bags, you will lose weight, you will lose inches, you will build muscle. But you'll also boost your immune system, learn techniques that could actually help you protect yourself in a nasty situation and give you the confidence that comes from hitting hard. The Hit is a franchise rather than a chain, and Phil and Steffi run the show by themselves. They know everyone's name, and keep track of their progress so they can show you how to up the difficulty at a station if they notice it's getting too easy for you (doh!) You're never left on your own. If you ever have questions or want to push yourself, they're right there as you go through the circuit. Basically, you get a personal trainer with the cost of your membership. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to grab my gloves and get hitting, It's been a few days and I keep putting it off (and they notice if you do that! ) I'm comin', Phil and Steffi. Warn Bob.

The room is so warm that you sweat like crazy, actually detoxifying your entire body. This aspect of the yoga makes it more challenging and easier for me to concentrate. I like the schedules they have because it's usually available to anyone's schedule. I you have free time during the week I recommend going then; the weekends are just too busy. I went on a Saturday once and the entire room was full. It was so full that I couldn't even stretch out all the way without hitting someone. The dude behind me touched my foot because we were so packed. The instructors here are great. They are very informative and helpful. If you're doing something wrong they will correct you. One instructor in particular, Melissa, is cool because, in the more awkward poses, she asks if it's alright that she moves you. I liked the respect that she's showing when she does this. Just a quick tid bit. Ladies, don't be afraid to change in front of each other... and stop taking up the toilets to change your clothes! Some of us really need to pee after drinking 1.5 litres of water in an hour. If you're just looking to increase your exercise a bit, maybe try going once or twice a week. That means that buying a whole month isn't really worth it. Unless you plan on going more than three times every week, the monthly pass isn't worth it. I stick to one to two times a week, since it's quite a work-out and my muscles usually hurt the next day.

One thing I wish they did though was post which instructor was teaching which class. While the majority of the instructors here are amazing, everybody has a different personality and some people jive better than others. Overall though, a great place to sweat it out!
