Working from home, a close PF helps keep me moving. The staff is always helpful and available, and they're there to show you how to use some equipment. I do find lately that more people are parking in the 30-minute area and using other equipment to take photos of themselves, but not really using the equipment. I move to another machine and circle back. Seems like a waste of their membership, though. In the summer, students can get a free membership. I was wary of that, but they're polite and don't cause any trouble. What would I add? A steam room or sauna would be great. And don't get rid of the 30-minute workout area -- lots of us older folk love it!

I have been hitting gyms in the Burlington area for almost 40 years. I have seen most come and go…read more You can see the downward spiral, gym is dirty, in disrepair and customers are leaving. Soon the doors will be closing. The owner of Synergy is fanatical about keeping the gym clean, equipment in fully operational condition. When you walk in there is a stack of ready disinfectant spray bottles and clean towels. Everyone is expected to wipe down the equipment after use. The customers come in steady but never had I had a time where I couldn't get a workout in. The ages and fitness level varies greatly, so if your a beginner you should never feel intimidated. There are trainers and if you need help you can ask any of us at the gym and we will gladly help. Becca M wrote about a gym goer that was harassing her. She gave a bad review of the gym for that. Did she address it with the owner? You can't slam the gym for what a customer does without giving the owner a chance to address it. There's always going to be some who do not respect others. But my over a year experience at Synergy I have never seen this. Most likely a Female or Male that is in good shape and showing it, others are working out to try to be like them. Hey if you work hard and look good, show it off because it isn't gonna last forever and your in a place that understands what it takes to get there!! Top of the line equipment, clean where you could do floor exercises anywhere and not get up filty. A friendly atmosphere and the classic radio station you can hear but not so loud you can't carry on a conversion with another members. I strongly suggest you give it a try.

I moved to Burlington area early this year and I have been looking for a gym. I like to exercise…read moreregularly and I was looking for a gym with a mix of free weights and machines. I found Synergy Fitness via web search so I thought I would give it a try despite some concerns. First thing I noticed right off the bat is how small the gym is. They had construction going on at one side of the gym and when I asked the girl at the front desk, she told me the area used to be part of the gym but their next door business took it from them. Which means the gym is getting even smaller. I was like ok, not a big deal at the moment. Last straw that made me decide to leave this place for good and write this review is a harassment from one of the gym goers. I was in the free weights area doing some squats and I noticed a nasty looking creature staring at me and pointing the backside of his phone toward me, most likely filming. I felt very uncomfortable with the amount of staring so I left the room and went to another room to continue my workout with dumbbells. A few minutes later, the same creature came to the room, took off his shirt and started to pose in front of the mirror and kept staring at me. I was completely freaked out at this point so I ended my workout and left the place. The nasty creature is a roided short male covered with long sleeve tattoos on both arms with skull pictures and women, side stomach big skull tattoo, and a big "USAF" tattoo on his chest. If you belong to the USAF or have been at one point in your life, you should live up to the title. What a creepy old man. I have never experienced that kind of behavior at any other gym places I used to go to. I felt gross after this experience. I don't recommend this "gym" to any young woman.

Ethos Athletics is a newer gym and fitness center in Burlington. It's located in the brick building…read moreacross from the City Market South End on Flynn Ave. The gym is a clean, no-frills gym, which is conducive for a focused workout. There isn't a weight room per se; you work with different instructors and trainers and use the weights, TRX, cables, punching bags, etc. available. There are numerous group fitness classes for all interests from times ranging as early as 7am to 7pm: TRX, TRX Strong, TRX Bootcamp, TRX Express, H.I.T.T., F.I.T., Strength and Conditioning, Total Body ABC (Arms, Butt, Core), Box Fit, HIITBox, CoreBox, Total Body Circuit Training, ETHOS Bootcamp, Yoga. There are also certified massage therapists on site that do various massage modalities and therapies, including the Grafton Technique, trigger-point therapy, Swedish, and cupping. I've taken several classes with Anna Bohen Judge. Anna Bohen Judge is a yoga, TRX fitness instructor, and personal trainer that is one of several instructors at Ethos. I've attended her TRX and yoga and even had some personal training from her. Anna is extremely patient and kind, offering help with form and making modifications for those with physical limitations. Her TRX class is pretty awesome, using Tabatas in H.I.T.T. format as part of the program. Her restorative yoga class takes away stress and any aches and pains. I also went to massage therapist Joy Snow for help with my chronic shoulder issue and arm. She not only worked out the issue, but also explained to me why it may have happened and exercises to do in order to prevent it in the future. Ethos offers an excellent array of classes and services. There are several different membership offerings, plus punch cards that are highly reasonable. I highly recommend this gym for your fitness needs.

LOVE HAMMERFIT!…read more There is so much to love about this fitness center. The gym is great, plenty of cardio equipment and high quality weight machines to go around and a little added bonus- it has a good amount of natural light coming in. They offer a number of fitness classes and in particular they regularly schedule a number of really great Zumba classes with many of the best instructors in the area; try a class with Dillon, Leonora or Jess! The studio space is fantastic with great air flow, a bumpin' sound system and mirrors in the front and on the sides. They often run super affordable punch card specials (especially on or around a holiday) and their desk staff is always friendly and helpful. There is a locker room equipped with lockers, showers and even a basket with random items you may forget like shampoo or lotion. The atmosphere is positive and welcoming which is really important for me. The only downfall is that it's a bit of hike from Burlington; it would be awesome if they opened up a second location in the downtown area so I could ditch my Edge pass. Great space, great facilities and fun staff, check it out!

My bar code checked me in to a "good evening" from one of the dudes and I was on my own the rest of the time. It is a small locker room with only a single space and just three showers on the men's side. The showers were okay. There is no shelf to rest your shampoo and whatnot. My hanging of toiletries pushed the curtain outside the tub, which caused a bit of a lake. I'd suggest making the curtains just a little longer or adding a lip to the shower to keep the curtain inside. And I was reminded why I bring "shower shoes" when I'm here because someone's dirt didn't go down the drain until I stepped on it. Ick. Music wasn't as loud here as some others. That's okay. Tip: If your GPS brings you to the Ben and Jerry's, you're close. They have the west side of the building. Continue counter-clockwise to the east side of the building. Signs are posted that sleeping or camping in the lot is not permitted. [Review 17831 overall - 33 in Vermont - 1352 of 2022.]
