After working independently in gyms, hiring personal trainers, and participating in group exercise…read moreclasses for decades, I feel like I finally found the perfect mix of all of them at Burn Boot Camp in West Chester. I have been a member there since they opened and I have never made a better decision in my life for my overall health. I feel like there are 3 major facets that create a perfect environment at Burn. 1. The trainers are all Certified Personal Trainers and they are extremely knowledgeable. They get to know every single person there and work with you to meet your individual goals. I have already met and surpassed so many goals-- in strength, endurance, body composition, and weight loss. I have also personally worked through injuries, utilizing the expertise of the trainers to modify exercises to ensure that I was still getting challenging and effective workouts while keeping my body safe. Also, the trainers model every exercise and then give everyone options to modify up or down, based on levels of strength and fitness. This helps everyone to progress, no matter what the starting point. They also offer unlimited 1:1 focus meetings, which helps them to get to know you better, and allows you to get the help from an expert to make a plan that is specifically tailored to meet your own individual goals. 2. Every single workout is different every single day. This is something that is so important to me because I definitely lose interest in any program when I start to become bored. The weekly lineup of workouts changes every week and every workout is unique. I've been there 9 months and never had a duplicate workout, other than designed challenges to measure progress. I actually look forward to seeing what we're doing in the gym every day, which is a nice change of pace for me. 3. The community is the most supportive group of people of which I've ever been a part. Everyone there is goal-oriented, positive, and welcoming. We all celebrate each other's successes and offer encouragement when needed. I've met so many awesome people at Burn and have nothing but the best things to say about the whole community there. Take that first step. Walk through the doors and see what the Burn difference is all about! Any age, any body type, any fitness level... everyone can make progress, get stronger, become more confident, and crush fitness goals there!!

Burn boot camp is a great workout, until its not. Very quickly the workout becomes monotonous and…read moreboring. They advertise a floating floor which is great for joints however for me, I felt that the jumping moves were not always stable. I have witnessed at least 3 people become injured during the class and Im sure that there's been more. In order to make the workout less repetitive, they try to incorporate new moves that aren't completely safe. Yes, you can modify, however now the workout is less effective. On top of injuries, the lead trainer Kristen talks nonstop throughout the workout. Nonstop. Its distracting and makes the workout even less enjoyable. She is also difficult to deal with when it comes to billing issues and mistakes and will not give out any additional people to contact, simply tells you to email. The one plus, if you have children, childcare is included. The room is clean, and most of the sitters are interactive with the kids. However, if you dont have kids, your still paying for childcare. My advice is stay away from this gym. I was a member for over a year and ended my membership when they told me I was going to be charged a annual $49 maintenance fee. This fee was to be used to upkeep the gym, buy new equipment and make improvements. I never saw any of these things, only seeing equipment that was worn and needed to be replaced. ( medicine balls) There are alot of similar gyms out there that aren't nickle and diming you to death, and charging you for services you dont use. They also don't have a long term contracts. Buyer beware!

I recently started attending classes at Cycology 202 after signing up for a great "back-to-school"…read moreoffer --- $49 for two weeks of unlimited classes, and I've had a great experience so far. Located in the Glen Eagle shopping center (near the Gap, not far from Whole Foods), there is plenty of parking available. Upon walking inside, I've always been immediately greeted, checked in, and offered my size of cycling shoes (which are required to wear, so bring socks but don't worry about your sneakers). Without prompting, the instructors have recognized that I am new and offered help in setting up my bike to suit my size. There is bottled water available for purchase and they place towels at each bike station prior to class. They do not allow cell phones in the exercise rooms. Once everyone is set up, the instructor turns up the music and dims the light except for a few spotlights on the instructor, which feels like a club atmosphere. At times, especially when encouraging us to pedal as quickly as we can, they actually turn the light off entirely, which helps to keep your focus on yourself. They encourage you to pedal to the beat, then adding additional movements like push-ups, crunches, and arm weights while pedaling --- which is a real challenge and a great full body work-out. Classes can be reserved in advance via their website or their app, and you are able to reserve a specific bike (which was useful for attending class with a friend). The studio also offers barre and HIIT classes, but I have yet to try those.

Been coming to this gym 6x/week for the last 3 years. I've been to several Crossfit "boxes" but…read morethis one by far has the best physical gym space, camaraderie, and coaches! The head coach Brian really does go above and beyond to make new people feel welcome. Doing crossfit for the first time definitely can be intimidating--I sure felt that way when I first started, and creating a friendly environment can make all the difference. Aside from the atmosphere, the programming is really good. There's a great mix of cardio, strength, HIIT, and everything in between. I'm so much stronger now than I ever thought possible, and can't wait to continue getting stronger! There are enough classes throughout the day, everyday, to fit anyone's schedule - 6am, 7:30am, 9am, 12pm, 5pm, and 6pm. And if you still can't make it to any of those classes, as a member, you get 24/7 access which is AWESOME. As long as I'm living in West Chester I expect to be a member at this gym!! Love it here.

First, I have to say that $23 for a drop in class is an amazing price nowadays! Signing up online was simple and check in was smooth. The studio is spacious and clean, with water bottle filling stations, cubbies, and bathrooms. My friend did not have her own yoga mat and the studio was able to lend her one. The instructor, Emily, was friendly and welcoming, especially being we were probably the only new students in a class of regulars. The class itself was perfectly challenging in all the right ways! Barre is such a fun concept and Barre Balanced executes the class wonderfully.

The staff at planet fitness cares way more about their facility than this place does. I was there on a Saturday night with about 6 other people working out in there and there is only one bin stocked with wipes. There are dirty wipes laying all over the gym. I am very glute focused and two of the machines are broken and no signage even posted that something is being done. A different one doesn't even have stickers on the dial to tell me what the weights are. I think there should be signage posted on the outside of the room where classes are held to let people know not to enter. I found the instructor very rude as I did not know. The upstairs where the treadmills are is so hot. I wish I stayed at planet fitness.
