The place is very clean, so beautiful, chic, and the instructors and staff are very friendly. Hit all the marks. A+

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.

It costs only $5 more per month and offers a variety of activities and (free) courses; take advantage of the pools, rock climbing walls, yoga sessions, basketball and volleyball courts etc. It has much more of a community feel to it, to boot. Plus, I think we can all agree on the fact that Hamilton Plaza -- for some reason or another -- has become a rather depressing spot nowadays...am I right, or am I right?

I cannot speak to the current condition of all the others, but the State College Y is easily in the best material condition of any Y in my life. Everything seems to have been refurbished or replaced recently, no broken down anything, no roof leaks, no broken tiles or pavement. .is this really a Y? They just finished redoing the locker rooms, new everything as far as I can tell. The Therapy pool is a balmy 90F, which is great for a recent Miami transplant, and the lap pool is a not too shabby 80F. Pickleball seems to have taken over the basketball courts but that is the way of things now i guess.

The free weights, exercise balls, gym space, and other random equipment is both plentiful and good quality. The pool is indoors only and warmer than I like, but I'm in the minority in enjoying a cold-ish pool. The only thing lacking is a nice, separate free weights room, but that really isn't important to me. Oh, and did I mention that it has a rock climbing wall? Not too shabby!

They will literally lie directly to your face if it means they will gain the smallest bit of profit from you. I just tried calling to cancel my membership, and they said I can only cancel in-person or I have to send them a handwritten letter. It's the only gym I've ever seen that doesn't allow you to cancel online with a click of a few buttons. Truly the most pathetic establishment I've ever seen.

Mail in a…read morecancellation letter (which, don't worry, they'll accept it after THIRTY DAYS, after your NEXT BILLING CYCLE), or you have to 2. go in person at a convenient time for THEM because not all staff are "trained" to process cancellations. Want to cancel your membership? Hope someone there is trained to cancel it, otherwise your out of luck. Move out, and need an "easy" way to cancel? Better buy stamps and paper, and write a letter on your intent to cancel. Don't worry, they'll get to it in like 30 days if you're lucky. Want to cancel online or via email/phone? Haha, it's 2026. You think we'd make it "easy" for you? Give us all your money, or we'll send it to collections and your credit history will tank.

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.

Which made this completely different from the "fitness" yoga classes I took at college is the unification of mind and body.

With a background in nutrition as a Registered Dietitian, I did not think I could find a career that could combine my passion for fitness, nutrition, and helping others until I found One on One. One on One not only taught me to become a proficient fitness professional, but also a better communicator, a stronger leader, and a more values-driven individual. These skills have helped me in all aspects of my life. Combine this with a community of amazing team members and clients alike, and One on One exceeds my expectations as a workplace. I count myself as lucky to be a member of this team. After having a baby and moving across the country, I have still found a way to rejoin the team, which speaks to how highly I regard One on One. One on One's Spirit of Caring--which permeates everything they do from event planning to personal development to client interactions to employee benefits--is unmatched. It is what keeps me a part of this team and without a doubt what keeps our clients with us for decades. After being a part of One on One for over 4 years and seeing almost all aspects of the business, I can say that this Spirit of Caring runs deep. I am proud to be a part of the One on One community, and I am deeply appreciative for all that they have provided to me over the years.
