So, I had no idea what to expect when going to a "Cross Fit" "Box." I was apprehensive, yet I knew…read morethat the typical gym and at-home workouts weren't getting me to challenge myself. I needed to find a well-educated, professional, and experienced trainer to work with (until I feel ready to participate in a class by myself). I am very impressed with Cross Fit AR's first free workout. After that, the next four sessions cost $25 each. After the four sessions, I could have started classes. I chose personal training and could not be more pleased Don't get me wrong, it's very challenging for me. Ian, my trainer, pays close attention to my form, frustration level and when I need to keep pushing to the "next level." Unlike trainers I have worked with in the past, Ian genuinely appears interested and doesn't just "get by" with a cookie-cutter workout. I have also trained with Danielle. She is also extremely talented and good at making workouts challenging, yet fun. There are regular "classes" with the Workouts of the Day - these are customized for every individual. I was very impressed to learn that there are also very structured classes for kids. I know that there are a multitude of "Cross Fit" options available. I urge you to give Cross Fit AR Strength a try.

I went to CrossFit AR Strength for a special fundraising workout event with a friend from my box. I…read morewanted to see what else was out there and heard great things about this place near Allentown. It was the most fun I ever had doing CrossFit. Over time, they helped my form, technique, and made me really enjoy the sport while taking my game to the next level. Ian, Corey, and the other coaches really helped push me beyond what I thought I could do. I left with some great results and even better friends. I try to go back whenever I am in the area as I have yet to find a gym (traditional or CrossFit box) that challenges me in the way that this place has. Highly recommend!

The trainers are exceptionally knowledgeable, especially the owner, Greg. With his too many to list degrees and certifications, he has an answer to every problem you can come up with. The quality of instruction is exceptional here. Do not be intimidated, they are extremely patient, regardless of your level of fitness. Beginners (like my scrawny self) will feel completely welcome and soon be breathing fire like the rest of the group. Some gyms make you drink the CoolAid, this one is much more down to earth, interested only in results for YOUR goals.

Dedicated Fitness is the smaller gym in Palmerton. Many would call it the women's gym since many of…read morethe members predominantly are female and it offers a lot more specialized training classes. If that is your goal, Dedicated is great. It doesnt have the vending machines or 24/7 hours as the competitor. But you can go pretty later. I liked the gyms solitude at times. Others times I feel like its many young teenagers using this gym. I have no issues The price is slightly cheaper and overall the gym isn't as crowded. The weight machines are more free weight style. Id honestly say the treadmills are equal to Spillane's. Ellipticals are better. Negatives.....The overall facility is less kept as the one room has leaky roof. I didnt like that the place isn't well Air Conditioned in summer months.

Similar to a small YMCA gym. Better than a planet fitness although much smaller. I go after work at…read morethe hospital around 4-6pm and it's never crowded. Gym is clean and equipment is a bit older but maintained well. Locker rooms are clean. Women's has two showers and have shampoo, conditioner, hair gel and lotion. Plenty of lockers with included locks and keys. Weights: Two power cages/squat racks and a smith machine. Ample plates from 2.5lb-45lb. About 7 adjustable benches (no rack, just the bench)and dumbbells up to 100 lbs or so. A cable machine with about 8 stations and lots of attachments. The cable machine has numbers, not weight equivalents. Assisted or unassisted pull-up/dip station. Variety of kettlebells up to about 50lbs. Other equipment: 3 plyo boxes up up to 24" tall. There's a large cushioned bench, probably 8'x8', that's great for core work, rather than laying on the floor. Resistance bands and station to attach them at various heights. TRX straps on one of the power cages. A handful of medicine balls. Cardio: About 8 treadmills, 5 ellipticals, 5 stationary bikes and 2 rowing machines. Some of the stationary bikes are a little wonky. Machines: Circuit of about 15 well-maintained machines including bench press, overhead press, row, leg press, bicep curl, ab/back extension and more. Classes: 2-3 per day at noon and around 4. Some yoga, some fitness. Amenities: TVs, controllable from the cardio equipment. Nice view of the highway and the woods beyond. Water, powerade and bottled protein drinks available at reasonable prices. It's $24.99/mo or free for LVHN staff. It's for general fitness. Not a luxe club or a powerlifting gym. Some people are pretty fit, some not fit at all, most people are average. If I could change things, I would add more free weights and take out some of the machines. I hardly ever see anyone on the machines. Will add pics if I can get any without people. Will update if I get more accurate counts on the equipment.

Emailed and called and it took a few days before i was able to set a tour of the gym up . I have never been treated with such un interest in my life . I walk up to the counter and introduce my self. He may or may not have told me his name.not to sure if he did . I was expecting him to show me around the place , but he made no effort to come from around the counter . Since he wasn't saying anything, I released what I had seen on the website . I had remember from my previous call that said there was 50 few to join, but he said there was . He said no more after that so I asked if he was the co owner . He said he was the trainer . And a few sentences about what he trained . I turned my head to kind of look at the gym . There were 4 people training. As I was looking he said I could go look around if I wanted to!!!! Hw said there was a down stairs that had some other things .if you go down there the light will turn on . He definitely wasn't going to show me around and made NO EFFORT TO do so. I said , no I can see one side of it I really wanted a gym to go to since it was. Closer to work . I said can you show me the contacts for the different levels and he said. , well they are on the iPad and I I would have to go get it . He made no effort to move until I said ok I would like to see it. He put the iPad in from of me and said" you can read the different ones. Total disinterest . He wasn't rude, just didn't care if I signed up or not . Do yourself a favor and BY PASS THIS Gym. Do not join !!!!!!! P.S. gym looks nothing like those pics.
