Up until a year or two ago, this was a fantastic gym, but unfortunately that has changed. While…read morethere is plenty of equipment and they keep up with the maintenance, for the most part, because there is no supervision, the condition of the gym has deteriorated. There has been an influx of young people in recent times, and apparently they don't understand basic gym etiquette, such as putting weights back where they belong and unracking their weights. They can't even be bothered to put weight plates on the proper peg, even though the pegs have been labeled with the proper weight designation. (Or, because they're so lazy, they simply lean the plates against the machines or pegs.) The idea of being able to go the gym at anytime of the day or night is great, but sadly, it has come with a price in the form of no oversight. I feel at this point, after being a member for over a decade, this gym has become a gym for amateurs; if you enjoy spending half your workout questioning if someone is using a machine because it has multiple weight plates on it, removing weights from every machine before being able to use it, searching for weight plates because people don't put them back on the plate racks, or being unable to use equipment because the high-schooler used his mom's tag to let his 17 buddies in for free, this is the place for you. For a serious lifter, though, I'd suggest looking elsewhere, if you care about the environment in which you lift.

Been a member here for about two months now and I LOVE THIS GYM!!!…read more The biggest thing for me is the amount of space and equipment to do pretty much anything I feel like doing, and if for some reason the equipment I want is taken (usually the squat/deadlift area) I can always find something else to do in the meantime. My only gripes: I wish someone would change the radio station once and a while, and maybe get a new logo done. Small things really.

He helped me out big time, offering a short-term membership while I was visiting the area for a few weeks. He's very cool with folks doing heavy strength training, as long as they know what they are doing and aren't trying to create an "ego-scene". I checked out several gyms in the area before landing on this one, and I am very glad I did. Save yourself the time & effort of finding a place to train, and just go to Granite Fitness and Performance.

Their constant complaints and unprofessional behavior create an uncomfortable environment. Additionally, the front desk staff are often moody and inconsistent, allowing or denying entry based on their attitude rather than clear policies. Considering the high membership fees, the level of service is unacceptable. There are many other gyms that offer better service and more reasonable pricing. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

This was an absolutely PHENOMENAL place to stay. Amylyn and Jonas were such kind, communicative,…read moreunderstanding, and gracious hosts! They went above snd beyond to make sure all of our questions were answered, were quick to respond to any texts, and they made my partner and I feel so incredibly welcome! We stayed in The Den which was such a cozy little place. The whole space was very well thought out, bed was quite comfortable and there were even some fresh eggs waiting in the fridge for us! The cedar soaking tub they had was such a lovely addition and it was so great to use after a long full day. They also had an entire welcome binder outlining local restaurant, attractions, and other places of interest. The on-site yoga classes and farm store (with fresh muffins, baked bread and local crafts) were just the cherry on top!!! All of this doesn't even mention how incredibly convenient the location was, when we stepped out of our door, you wouldn't know that you were only a 15 or so minute drive from Portsmouth because it really was such a peaceful, calming place. All around if we have ANY reason to be staying in or around Portsmouth again, you can bet I won't be looking any further than Shilo Farm!!!

We drove from Vermont to Eliot, Maine and it was a beautiful and relaxing car ride with fun…read moreanticipation and lots of music. When we arrived and we were driving down Shiloh Farms driveway, Amylyn was waving us in and it was just a wonderful welcome to a fun farm experience! Jonas came out to welcome us and they both asked if we wanted to meet their dog Shasta...they explained she's big but friendly. She was; and so happy and silly, we even got her to roll over. This farm feels well protected with this beautiful girl manning the farm. In any event they showed us around and everything is so well designed and everywhere you walk there is art. I love farm swings as I remember them at my grandparents farm and one of their swings fit both of us and we had a blast swinging amongst the friendly chickens, singing and laughing. I just felt healthier amongst all the nature and beauty and had no idea how much the sounds of a farm would delight us. This was exactly the unique farm experience I was seeking for my kiddo. She chose a farm experience over amusement park experience or more beach time and here we couldn't get away from the animals, in a great way. Goats, chickens (so happy and fun), cats, and of course Shasta and friendly proprietors that went out of their way for my kiddo. We fully intended to use the fire pit but the first day we had been at the beach all day and conked out early. And the second night was rainy and we were tired from a lot of travel but we did have an excellent night sleep, listening to the rain. And with the yoga, I never inquired as we do some at home on YouTube and I'm awkward doing it and really we're here for the animals. We just got done running with the goats and collecting eggs from the chicken coop, all the while being educated in a kid friendly way about the animals, their food, the different species, and all about the different colored eggs. Fascinating. And BONUS, they shared/gave my daughter a little book about one of their goats, named Olaf that is about bullying and conquering it and a coloring book she spent a-lot of time on yesterday . I can't thank Amylyn and Jonas enough for providing such an interactive, relaxing, and fun time at a beautifully designed property that delights the eye with all the art (much created from trees and other resources on the property. Their love of animals, their farm, each other and what they do makes for a warm and loving experience. Their stories about the animals are so cool- their chickens don't get eaten, they live their full lives, and what happy and healthy chickens they are. Luna, the goat had a stroke a while back and they lovingly got her back in action after quite the recovery. Happy people doing what they love on this farm. We are lucky they love it so much they want to share it The location is AMAZING.. a couple miles from gorgeous beaches (that's definitely my thing so we got the best of both worlds here) Pics are on the way

I like these gyms a lot because of all the group fitness classes offered. Step, combat, boxing, pilates, spin, pump, yoga, Zumba and swimming. They are more fun than the traditional treadmill or weight lifting. Zumba and combat are my favorite. Zumba is just like dancing and you don't feel like you are working out and combat is empowering. At this location they do something called smart start where if you participate in 20 classes in 5 weeks you get a prize like a free massage or an hour with a personal trainer. All the staff is really nice and helpful. Some of the things in the gym could definitely be upgraded. Some of the mats are torn and need replacing and the boxing equipment is pretty beat up but still does the trick. I recommend buying your own mats for yoga or other classes for any gym just because they get used a lot and you will feel more comfortable with your own mat. The womens locker room has recently been upgraded. There are showers and a sauna and a lot of lockers (bring your own lock though) and a room with big mirrors for you to fix your hair and makeup after a workout. Overall this place is great and for the price if you are into group fitness it is worth it because of all the options you have to choose from. If you are 24 or under get your membership before you turn 25 because the rate goes up. Get it cheap now and it stays that way.

The trainers are talented, supportive and motivating. That's essential to keep you returning and making progress. Strength training is challenging at times and having a skilled and friendly coach to provide encouragement and support is vital. Fitness Together helps strengthen your core and limbs as you age. I can speak personally that their trainers have helped me a lot. I have better balance, my core is stronger, I have muscles where I had fat, and I feel much better overall. I know that if I keep doing this, that I'll lead a much more active and happier life in my 60's, 70's, 80's and beyond. The team at Fitness Together will help you change your life and you won't find a better place in the seacoast to do this. I highly recommend them.

I gave four weeks notice and was told it was all taken care of. Was then charged an additional month. I did not attend that month because I was out of the country and because I had been assured it was all set. Sean told me he was "looking into it" but has since stopped responding. Only cares about taking your money. There was no effort to track my progress throughout the three months I was there and it took three weeks of persistently asking for an at home plan to receive one, even though he had said he'd get me one in a couple days. I have now paid over $500 for absolutely nothing and he has made zero effort to resolve this issue. Although I enjoyed my time with the trainers overall I would not recommend.
