Victory Sports is great for people of all training levels; they specialize in geriatric and high…read moreschool training, but it's also a surprisingly comfortable place for the average gym-goer (like me lol) At first I was intimidated by the fact that they requested a one-on-one meeting after signing up for a membership, but it turns out that it was hugely helpful - the co-owner (unfortunately can't remember her name) went into detail about the equipment offered, opportunity for trying new group classes, and also having a personal assessment to better gauge your needs and desires and allowing you personal training (if you want it!) The facility offers a good variety of equipment - the right side is the "grunter side" with lifting equipment and a green turf area for athletic training. The right side is geared towards cardio and machine weight training, with ample space for stretching and free weights as well. There are locker (and shower!) facilities for men and women, and each time I've been, I've been impressed by how clean it is and how often I see someone cleaning or checking up. Overall, a very friendly facility that is as personal as you want/need it to be, with great staff, amenities, and equipment. Highly recommend you at least come in to check it out if you're looking for a gym in the area!

Everyone is focused on improving themselves and being motivational and kind towards others. I've been working out with Scott Everhart now for almost a year and he is by far the best thing i could have done to physically improve myself! Great trainer who always is willing to go the extra mile for his clients! He wanrted to see first hand what goes into the sport i do to help train me better. So, instead of researching it on the computer he hopped in the truck with us one weekend and spent an entire day (6am-8pm) with my dad and I in New York! If thats not dedication, I don't know what is! I would highly recommend going in and asking for Scott to help you with whatever your goals are physically! He will help you reach and surpass them!!

However, F45 has changed my lifestyle: mentally, physically, emotionally, health, and much more. F45 is a team training environment and every workout varies (which makes it fun). I've been attending F45 for the past 6 months at least 5 times a week and my body has changed (My abs are Back) haven't seen them since high school. I honestly have so much energy now and I'm always on the move without complaining throughout the day "I'm tired." The gym is always clean the atmosphere is friendly. The trainers are always willing to help, they are motivators, and above all polite and friendly. F45 music is AMAZING! I've lost over 15lbs, my cholesterol levels dropped, and can now say I eat way healthier! (Why: because after a good workout you want to maintain your body looking great.) I'm also thankful that I've been able to make friends, which helped with my transition to State College, PA. "F45 team training, Life changing"

The company is too cheap to use the air conditioner when the temperature goes up. Leaving the doors open for cool air is not sufficient. More than anything, the members that think you want to smell their body odor are disgusting. They must belong to the same club as the members that don't clean the machines after use. These people ruin things for the rest of the mindful members that were raised with manners and decency. They make me gag and should be thrown out of the gym by the health department.

Let me start my saying that the only shape I'm in is round(ish) - if that qualifies as a shape. I'm…read moreaiming to change that. I've enjoyed perusing far too many beer and food establishments, and while I'm not huge I'd get a "runners high" going up a flight of stairs or hoping on my bicycle and going around the block. So, does this make me qualified to know what a five star gym is? Not necessarily. But I do know what five-star people are, and the owner Bryan and crew at CrossFit Nittany hit that mark. I've tried going to a standard gym before, but the lack of structure and non-interaction with a coach made it really easy to just piss around and not be serious. Not with CrossFit. The "workout-of the-day" (WOD) is written when you walk in. You know what you're doing, and you're held accountable for it. Does that mean Bryan is sitting there with a whip if you can't handle it? Absolutely not. He and his staff evaluate where you are in your fitness, and will modify the program to incorporate its core elements without overburdening you. You'll work hard, but it won't kill you. That would be bad for business. Bryan's been at this for a long time, and it shows. He even has a lot of certificates on his wall from legit sounding places saying he knows what he's doing. If you've never been in a CrossFit facility before, be prepared for the following: -- no machines -- no tanning beds -- no BS (if you need that translated, you're too young to CrossFit) Tomorrow will be my fifth or sixth class. My first two group classes were not with the beginners group due to scheduling, but no one looked down on me for not knowing what exactly was happening. I ask a lot of stupid questions - sometimes twice - and everyone's been incredibly patient as I've tried to get my bearings. It's this synergy that makes this facility as good as it is. Lastly, I've been "preaching" about the accommodating nature of this place as a newb. But make no mistake there are many **very** serious athletes here. If you're coming in with a wealth of CrossFit experience you shouldn't feel out of place unless you stumble into the newb class. And even then, all us newbs would simply gawk slack-jawed while you either rope climb one fingered or rip off 100 lateral burpees without breaking a sweat.

I was here working out this evening & right at 9pm (closing), the worker turned all of the lights…read moreoff with 2 customers still in the building, myself included. No mention of it being closing time, just lights off, time to go! On my way out, I asked him, "Do you have somewhere to be?" & that he "shouldn't turn the lights out with customers still inside." His response- "It's 9 o'clock." Which I responded, "Are you the owner?" & he responded "Yes." If this is the case, that the OWNER doesn't care about his customer's experience, I will for sure be taking my business elsewhere. I'm not sure where he was taught that his schedule getting out of work was more important than the paying customer's experience. As somebody who has worked in customer service my entire adult life (not to mention at this same gym 7 years ago), that's a foreign concept to me. As a manager or GM, if I found out my employees were putting themselves above the customers in this way, they'd be written up or let go. My advice? Do better. The BARE MINIMUM is you wait to close until everyone is gone. & if it gets to be 5-10mins after, you politely let the customers know you are closed & need to start closing. Customer Service 101, Day 1. If management, or (apparently) ownership encourages this type of customer service, it's no wonder places like Crunch Fitness & Victory Sports have taken what looks to be most of the business from East Coast.
