No such thing as too muscular at this gym! But don't be intimidated. They are nice super hero looking people. I love going to Fitness Fx. If only for the fact that I am an average, skinny, 5'10 male. And a lot of the guys who go to this gym are professional body builder's! Its great to walk up to them lifting eighty pounds or more with one arm and I'm there with my nice and light fifteen or twenty pounds. I try to stare them down but they simply laugh at me. This gym boasts "a full stock of dumbbells ranging from 3 all the way up to 160 lbs." This is very true. I never find myself waiting for a dumbbell set because someone is using it. They have enough for everyone. And they are improving! they have added what they call a "cardio theatre." In other words, they have more cardio equipment. There is an open space concept which has its advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that everyone can see you while you are working out. But in my opinion, just get some confidence and remind yourself that no matter what body type you are, you rock! Then rock it out! The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. If you start talking to them you find out right away that you feel part of a team or a family. They are there to support you. It feels more like a team or family first and a business second. Which is very important to me. They also have a juice bar and a lot of televisions so you can watch Oprah while on the cardio machines. Their prices are the same as most other gym's. Not very expensive but not quite cheap. In my opinion, you definitely are getting a good price. With the addition of new, on site tanning beds they are showing that they are keeping up with the competition at a steady pace. Fitness Fx has been one of my favorite gyms for all of the above reasons. But perhaps the reason why I give it a fourth star is because they are improving with new equipment, more programs and store renovations without increasing the price of their membership. One of the most admirable things I have seen a gym do in a long time! And I definitely took notice. So stop sitting around, reading my reviews and head for the gym! Afterwards get a protein shake and go back to reading my reviews. :) read more

A great neighbourhood gym. When I first started coming here I didn't think they had enough cardio equipment - because that's my fall back - but once I became a regular I realized that's just not why people go to Fitness Fx. Whatever machine I'm interested in is usually available immediately or within 20 minutes. It's a very friendly place, and things are generally tidy and ready to use. I do find that depending on the time of day there are some folks who forget the "please don't drop your weights and scare the jittery among us" rule, and clang their weights pretty hard on the ground. That said, the management have responded well to this kind of problem and promised to remind repeat-offenders to control their dumbells lest they bounce on someone's toes and cause a more serious injury than a simple pulled hamstring. The rates are really reasonable, and they've been good lately at updating their class schedule too. ETA: Within hours of writing my review I went to get some exercise and found new cardio machines all set up! Well done, guys :) read more

This seems like a great little community gym. I went in today to find out about rates and to check out the space. The main floor is open concept, with loads of different machinery offering cardio workouts to weights and resistance training. I was greeted promptly by a friendly gym employee who gave me a price and info list. If you sign up as a member, you get access to their classes, as well as a complimentary initial training session. To head in for the day is $10, and a 1 month pass is only $50. They have a 6 month membership deal for $200 advertised in the window as well as an assortment of other member packages. There are shower facilities on site, as well as saunas, with lockers and towels available. They also have tanning beds and sell shakes along with training supplements. This seems like an a-okay place to keep fit and have fun. Upon my brief inspection it seems clean, and from my frequent walk-bys, I've noticed it is usually bumping with people from all fitness walks of life. read more

This gym has everything that you need. The equipment and the weights may be a bit older than those at some of the newer and bigger gyms, but at the end of the day you don't need fancy new weights when solid and reliable equipment will let you get the job done. There are two floors. The main floor has very high ceilings and contains most of the equipment. Here, you will find the free weights, weight machines, and cardio equipment. There are three squat racks and two flat bench presses, as well as all of your other benches (decline, incline), dumbells, etc. on this floor. Cardio machines are plenty but not ridiculous as some other big-box gyms. They have sign-up sheets where you can put your name down for them, but I've never seen the cardio equipment completely packed and I've been here around noon and between 5-7pm (usually the busier hours). There is also a juice bar on this floor. The bottom floor has a bike room where you can participate in spin classes, and also an open area for other classes you might want to join. There are also punching bags, mats, weighted balls, etc. There is a separate room on this bottom floor that has more equipment including another flat bench press, and I have never seen this room packed before either. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and a variety of different people work out here. You have your high school and varsity athletes, bodybuilders, regular joes like me, people looking to get in shape, people looking to get bigger, stronger, faster, or maintaining, etc. Ages also vary - but everyone is down to earth and just there to do their own thing. All in all I think Fitness FX has made good use of the space that they have and they keep it clean. Some repairs could be made, but nothing is in a dire state. If you're looking for a modern, plushy workout experience with 100 cardio machines, brand new weights and flat screen TVs at every treadmill, then this place isn't for you. However, if you're looking for a gym that has everything you need, with down-to-earth people and staff, then definitely give Fitness FX a try. Crossfitters there are three chinup bars in this place (2 on the main floor, one on the bottom), rubberized weights (so you can drop them), and 2 rowing machines - oh and also a bucket of chalk in the middle of the main floor :) read more

A bread and butter gym - I feel like this place builds as much character as it does muscle mass. The clientele are all rather friendly and never make you feel weird about your ability. You can be a casual fitness enthusiast all the way through to Dr. Frankfurter's dream man and you'll fit in just fine. The equipment is all in solid condition and you usually don't have to wait very long (if at all) to hop on the machine you're looking to use. The gym is very clean and staff are helpful and knowledgeable. The only thing that might deter someone from making use of Fitness FX is the fact that there are a lot of windows and it is on a busy street with a lot of foot traffic. This means a lot of people are going to see you working out. This may cause some people to feel uncomfortable, though I've never found it to be a problem. So overall I have to really recommend this place. Membership is affordable and the staff let me have a test run of the facility before I committed to it, which was nice. Check it out and let Fitness FX PUMP...YOU UP! (How's that for a dated reference?) read more

I have been a member of fitnessfx for a year now and find the staff friendly and helpful in the instructors really great. Everyone is encouraging and there is a wide variety of clients. Today they went above and beyond when I came in for a run on the treadmill and my hair elastic broke. I asked at the front desk if they had a rubber band I could use but instead was offered a really nice hair tie out of a brand new package. This may not sound like a big thing but for me to go for a run with my hair down would have been unpleasant and I feel like they saved the day for me. Another example of how this gym is a neighborhood treat. read more

I joined Fitness FX because I was tired of the University gym that I had previously been a member of. Most of the members were students with free memberships therefore many of them have no respect or care for the equipment or the environment. It was frustrating when you wanted to use a machine and some hung-over jock is lazing around on a bench or machine chatting with his buddies about how many shots he downed at the Liquor Dome last night. That happened a lot. Well that's what you won't find at Fitness FX. When I first went into Fitness FX one of the friendly staff took me for a tour of the facilities and explained the various pricing options. I decided to go with the 3 month membership for $140 which to me is excellent value. The membership includes one personal training lesson which was excellent as he created a personalized program for me which I really like. Its perfect for what I want to achieve. I'll probably get another training session in another month or so. It was really helpful. The main area of the gym has a lot of cardio machines, 2 leg press machines, a hack squat press, and several other exercise machines. There are 3 cable, resistance stations with all kinds of attachments. They have tons of weights and benches. All you could ask for! You never have to wait to use any equipment. It is a really large and spacious area and it's super clean and bright. They offer free towels for your useage and there is also a smoothie type area up there where you can purchase protein drinks. Downstairs you will find a huge studio with lots of ab exercise equipment, mats, punching bags and dumb bells. They use this studio for fitness classes like Pilates and spinning which I'm anxious to try. They are going to be having more fitness classes in the future which is a bonus. There is also a room down there with stationary bikes. In the room adjacent to the studio is a small weight room with some benches, 2 squat racks and various weights. I really like it down there because I can concentrate on what I'm doing without any distractions and just kind of zone out and do my program. The demographics of the members run the gamut from senior citizens, pro body builders, heavier people trying to lose weight, high school athletes, various aged women, and regular 40 year old dudes like me who are just trying to stay reasonably fit. I noticed that the members here aren't into the latest fashion garb which is great. Just be yourself and do your workout in comfort. Fitness FX has zero intimidation and the members are very friendly and unpretentious. I really like the vibe at Fitness FX. The staff greets you by name when you come in and often offer words of encouragement. They are totally approachable and will answer any questions you might have. I actually look forward to going to the gym now unlike any other gym I've ever been a member of. As a result I am well on my well to reaching my Fitness goal thanks to Fitness FX. If you are considering joining a gym I would highly recommend Fitness FX. read more

Fitness FX is a solid gym. They have tons of equipment and plenty of knowledgable trainers on hand that will happily answer any question you may fathom about fitness. Recently Fitness FX has acquired some new equipment from a gym that closed on South Park st and quite frankly, as a regular customer, the gym's space has been compromised. Many of the machines are well spaced, allowing traffic to move between the bigger pieces of equipment, though the free weight areas are cramped and rarely-used or broken equipment litter whatever free space the gym might offer. That said, if you look hard enough, there's just about everything you need . If you're looking for an affordable gym to either begin a foray into fitness or make progress your preexisting fitness goals, Fitness FX is a great place to do that. read more

In the spirit of full disclosure I am probably not Fitness FX's typical customer. I'm a newbie triathlete trying to squeeze in a economic spin class into my cardio-packed schedule. At fourty bucks for ten classes it was a no-brainier to me! Michael is the spin instructor and if this review was just evaluating his instruction I would give him eleven stars out of ten. He always presented a well structured class that gave options to those who wanted to push harder and some technique tips. He presents a great class to a wide range of abilities. My issue is when a gym advertises spin classes and the equipment is sub-par. Almost every spin bike in that room is broken to one degree or another. It is really pointless trying to push yourself when your seat doesn't stay in one position, or the tension isn't adjustable or the bike seat cover us so torn that it starts to tear your shorts. If you're in for some self-directed sweating at a good price, head on down, but if you're there for spin, hunt down Michael somewhere else. read more
