Gym is small and that's what I like about. I'm able to get in and do what I need to do. Absolutely love our personal trainer Natina. She's amazing !!!!! The staff is always so welcoming when we check in. read more

I haven't belonged to a gym for more than 30 years, so by no means am I an expert on what a good gym should offer, but I like Apple Valley Express Fitness Center. I think they have a fine array of machines and workout stations, free weights, a TRX-style frame with various attachments, ropes, bars, medicine balls, kettle balls, big-ol' tires (in the parking area), and a couple of those great Concept2 Model D rowing machines. I've been half a dozen times, and there's no one looking over my shoulder; I like the "hands off" atmosphere. My first visit I had to ask a couple of questions, and there was someone there to provide answers. That's just about all I need. Look at it this way: If you can work out in a hotel/motel workout room, you will do fine at Apple Valley Express Fitness. And for those occasions when you have a question, you can always ask. One thing to keep in mind that if you work out in the mornings, you will almost certainly have a problem turning left out of the parking area onto Apple Valley Road (going north toward Hwy 18). When the traffic is bad, I just turn right and go down to Kasota. read more

This gym may be small, but it has a lot to offer! They have plenty of work out machines to choose from, and a variety of weights. The machines are not brand new, however they are all in excellent condition and get the job done! What more can you ask for $10 per month? You get well above what you pay for here. They also offer personal training, Whole Body Vibration, and Tanning for an extra price. The staff are all accommodating, and give friendly service. I have also noticed that the customers are all so friendly! At this gym, everyone seems to know everyone. It is not a meat market by any means, as I feel comfortable going there alone and getting a good work out in, without being gawked at. The only issue I have, is that at times they can be a little crowded, and I have to wait for a machine. Other then that, this is a wonderful place to go! read more

Be careful, this place will keep recharging your credit card even after you have left thinking your membership is over. The place is ok...but i would pay in cash only and read and keep your contract! read more

A great gym with great people. Does not have that intimidating factor that other bigger gyms have. The staff are great and the members are all nice! I would definitely recommend this gym. read more

Everything you need at a gym. Doesn't have every machine in the world but if you are looking to get a good workout and a low price ,this is the place. (Been going to gym for 2 years) read more

Visited this gym to see about joining. A male employee gave my Husband & I a tour. The machines did not seem like they were in good condition. Everything was extremely filthy, even for a gym! When we asked about the 14 day pass, he said they do not offer them unless you have a "friend" that is a member. That is funny because the website says FREE 14 Day Trial Membership, only stipulation is you need to be 18 with a valid ID. We are both over 18 with valid IDs. Whats up with that? We left and went to Anytime Fitness, much cleaner, friendly staff and what do you know they gave us a FREE Trial Membership no questions asked. read more

Well as far as first impressions go, it is definitely not L.A. Fitness, but it has the basics. Less than ten treadmills, and there are crates of items laying around. Not sure about bathroom conditions, but the gym itself(kinda gross). Customer service could definitely be improved. Hope these guys can turn it around, I want to like this place. read more

This is the worse gym if you want to call it a gym. Half the time the treadmills are out of order. The equipment is outdated and run down. Very dirty place. Some of the trainers are very rude. I can't even get someone to call me back. It's been 3 days since I've left a message. Tried to cancel with a letter and this has been since March and I'm still getting billed. Now I have to send a certified letter to cancel and something tells me that won't be enough. I should have known better when I first stepped in the door with my husband by the uncomfortable feeling they give you. Especially the person that showed us around. Don't sign up with this gym. There are way better gyms with comparable pricing with way better equipment and services. Anytime fitness is a very nice gym. read more

This gym is not the best in the world but none the less it is a gym if that's all you're looking for. You can't beat the price for a membership. If you're an iron pumping addict on a budget like myself then this is the place for you. The equipment is older but works just fine. They have a great set of dumbbells (5 lbs to 110 lbs) more than enough to get a good pump. By all means if you want to spend a fortune for a major name health club go right ahead (I would love to if I had the money) but are you even going to use half the stuff they have to offer, most likey not. This place is on the small side and a bit crowded some times but you can avoid that by going early in the morning or just before closing. They've never had a problem with me being there a little after they close. Like I said in the beginning if you're looking for just a gym to lift at that's inexpensive then this is right up your alley. P.S. ISYMFS!!!!!!!!! read more

For the price, this gym is a great deal. Everything you need to get into shape is here. I've seen great improvement with some members who work hard with the trainers. I don't agree with the remarks that the gym is filthy, the janitor does a good job. The trainers are in great shape, and are helpful if you ask for assistance. The pads and some of the machines need more maintenance. This place is friendly. The other raters are correct, you only get a free trial membership if sponsored by a member. read more

Place Is dirty machines don't work and contract is a rip off! You get what you pay for I guess! But when you can't get a decent work out because half the equipment doesn't work it makes it a waste of time and money! Also no showers or any real place to change ! read more

I love this gym everyone is so friendly and helpful. Yes its small but has everything in it. I have been coming here for about 5 years now and I enjoy it! Thank you! read more

Good gym, people there are really nice usually. Equipment is just fine. But the hours are strange. When I first joined there were many times I went when the parking lot was empty and was like wtf? How could the gym be closed right now? But those were their hours so I had to deal with it. Now it's Memorial Day weekend and the ENTIRE weekend its hours are even more cut down. So I guess that's 3 days in a row without going. Closed on Memorial Day I understand but did the weekend have to be affected too? Wish they had a website I could look at their changing hours on also. Rather than going and being surprised. read more

I am only giving this place 1 star because it wont let me post if I don't put anything. I seriously give this place 0 stars! This was the the worst service I have EVER received. I called to see if the offered any trial memberships. When the employee answered, she said they only offered trails if you knew someone who already had a membership. I asked if the had anything online and she stated "Oh yeah... there is coupon online but I don't know the website. I am really horrible employee." I went home and finally found the coupon. When I walked in they took my id and the coupon and said when I was finished I had paper work to do. They did not give me a tour, did not show me where to put my stuff, and didn't really even care that I was there. I mean I'm not asking for a 5 star treatment but I at least expect to be treated as if they want my business. Not only were the first impression HORRIBLE but the equipment was even worse. I would have been better off lifting at home curling a 12 pack of soda. It seriously looked like it had never been clean and was dated back to the 1800's. One of the ellipticals had a 5 pound weight under it to keep it level. After my workout I was told to talk to one of the employees. When I addressed the man with red hair, he was extremely rude. He didn't ask me how my experience was, he just went straight to signing papers and asking me if i wanted to join. When I called to talk to the manager about my experience, I spoke with a man by the name of Bryan. I talk him about the experience and not once did he even apologize. Right when I was in the middle of telling him my frustrations, he hung up on me. I honestly can not even fathom how/why they have members at that gym. They must pay their members to come back. My advice to other individuals who are looking for a gym, spend your money at a gym that actually deserves your business!!!! read more

The gym is not the most sanitary, the equipment is old and not well maintained, they will give you three days a week for the ten dollars, and they are closed on every holiday. The trainers look like they need some training, there are no locker rooms where you can get dressed, no showers to rinse off, and if you should happen to get thirsty hopefully you brought your wallet so you can buy water because there are no water fountains. If you decide to cancel your contract you will be in store for another fiasco, so make sure you do by certified mail, or they will send you straight to the collection department. read more

I would not recommend this place to anybody they try to tell you it's one price when it's higher and than they try to lock you in with a contract for a year hitting you with "Maintenance fees" twice a year and they have a very very small selection and space. read more

I personally go to this gym mon-fri.. I have been coming for about 4 months now. I have no problems with the equipment or staff. In my experience all of the staff has been more than helpful. Especially the trainers. They are always willing to help or answer questions. I used to go to 24 but would get uncomfortable by all the people there to just socialize.. Here everyone is in their own zone. They have more than enough equipment to work out your whole body. Plus I have tamno read more

This gym is the worst establishment I've dealt with, period. After signing a 1 year contract that goes month to month after the first year, I went there ONLY ONCE. I never returned because the gym is run down and the staff is completely unprofessional. No one cleans the equipment and there is 1 bathroom with no towels or paper towels (at least that 1 time). After the year contract was up I couldn't even cancel the membership over the phone or in the gym (I tried both). I was told I needed to mail a letter with my contract # (which they couldn't look up for me) to another address. Months after mailing in the letter, my credit card was charged for the monthly services and another random fee. I disputed the charge through American Express and the inquiry that came back to me was that the gym received my letter after the charges posted. Which is completely false but I paid the charges and said "good riddance" to this gym. Well, 5 months later I received a letter in the mail from a creditor stating that I owed an additional $175.00. Today I called the creditor and began to explain why I don't owe these charges. He cut me off and "If you didn't send the letter through certified mail then you need to pay this or we can send you a summons for court. If we do that you'll be left with the legal and court fees. Otherwise, ENJOY YOUR CREDIT!!" I don't know what type of creditors they're allowing to represent them but I've never dealt with anyone more disrespectful. If the cosmetic flaws with gym itself isn't enough to deter you from signing up, than the piss poor management should be, or perhaps the horrible customer service structure (they seemingly don't have) should be and even if that's not enough to get you to reconsider than the entry level legal department they have representing them with hot tempers should be. DO NOT JOIN THIS GYM. read more

These people are crooks and very unprofessional! I was very sick with a high risk pregnancy at the beginning of the year. Once I was finally well enough to make it over to the gym to bring my disability paperwork to the gym (they said they would not freeze my account until they got my papers from me) they refused to give me any sort of credit back for the $50 a month I had paid for the 4 months they had charged me and I was unable to use it, even with a Dr note! I guess trying to make sure my unborn child was ok should have taken a back seat to holding my gym membership. They then put my account on hold after being charged for that month too (7 days into the month). Just today my account should have been taken off hold and they charged me yet again, even though I had told them I moved out of state! I called as soon as I saw the charge and they couldn't care less that I paid for the one month already that I didn't use but now I was charged for this month too. As a matter of fact, she said I may be charged for next month as well because I have to give 30 days notice. The girl (Katherine) which is the only person you can talk to about billing is very unprofessional and seems to not care about her clients whatsoever! Its very clear she only cares about the dollar. Good luck getting a hold of her either because she makes her own hours and even then sometimes she isn't there. If you ask to get a corporate number or someone else to deal with, she refuses to give you one. Very shady business!! read more

wish i could give a zero! this place is a rip off! staff is rude and they try to swing around their contract agreements to confuse members and to get more monthly dues out of you while you try to figure it out. Don't listen to the staff their make sure you send your cancellation cerified mail ! will be contacting the better business buerea read more

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR HERE.. AND A BUNCH OF HEADACHES....If anyone reads this comment go to the not recommended reviews for this place under the mostly 1 star reviews and then 2 most likely fake reviews. They started this SCAMMING thing where they like to send you to collections after a month without payment to a closet lawyer. They like to rip people off and take their money any way they can hand over fist. This place is horrible and their bathrooms are disgusting, along with their low grade equipment that they bought broken from real gyms and "refurbish" with their tacky spot welds that break constantly. Machines are always broken and the wires are kinked on the cable machines so they slip and have play in them. The dumbbell sets are spaced so far in between in the higher weights that you'll never be able to do max dumbbell presses here. The treadmills are constantly broken too as well as the stair machine.......I honestly can't think of a machine that hasn't broke during my 15 months at this place. I just thought it was funny how bad they treat all of their loyal customers. Just a heads up about this place...it'll really make you think twice. read more
