This is among the better gyms in the area, and it has a lot going for it. Staff are fantastic,…read moreequipment is very clean and well maintained, the amenities are nice, and the overall environment and vibes are great. However, it also has a big issue holding it back from being a truly great gym. Despite having among the highest fees in the area, equipment variety is lacking for both machines and free weights. For the latter, the problem is pretty simple: there's only one squat rack and dumbbell weight only goes to 100 lbs. Several of their competitors in the area have multiple racks and dumbbell weights that go to 125 or 150. If you need to squat or overhead press and someone is using the only rack, you're out of luck. If you want to incline bench with safeties, do rack pulls, or do Romanian Deadlifts without conventional deadlifting the bar up to the starting position then you prevent anyone else from squatting. It's unfortunate. Their machines are largely a mix of Nautilus, Precor, Icarian, and Paramount, with the Precor pieces being the newest and by far the standouts in terms of quality (for example they have easily the best preacher curl machine in the greater NB area). The Paramount machines are well-maintained, but they're quite old and have relatively low amounts of weight on their stacks. The Icarians basically all work great despite their age, and the Nautilus machines run the gamut from fantastic to kind of awful. For the most part the bases are covered, and there's a few exceptional pieces mixed in like the aforementioned preacher curl machine, but there's certain holes: 1. No hack squat, which especially stings since there's only one squat rack. Nautilus makes a great hack squat, it'd be nice to see one. 2. Both identical seated leg curl machines use a really uncomfortable and unusual design instead of the standard thigh pad you usually see. Swapping one for a different machine that uses the typical design would go a long way. 3. No pec deck 4. Unusually low stack weights for several important leg machines like Leg extensions, Calf raises, Adductors, and Abductors, all of which max out at weights 50-100+ pounds less than what many of these types of machines usually have. 5. Both of the identical nautilus chest press machines (the only chest machines in the whole gym) are quite underwhelming, which is ironic since Nautilus also makes IMO one of the best machine chest presses on the market in the form of the Nautilus Leverage Flat Press. This really has the potential to be by far the best gym in the area with just a few investments in their equipment, and they could appeal fully to trainees of all experience levels and motivations. I hope to see them do so, but in the mean time it's an unfortunate unrealized potential.

Go here pretty much most of the weekdays at different times of the day, usually in the mornings…read morewhen I am working, or afternoons/evenings when I have other things in the morning. Best time to go is in the mornings, as the late afternoons/evenings seem to be busiest at this gym. Gym is super clean with well-maintained equipment of various types, from dumbbells to barbells, cables and various machines to work out the different muscles in your body. Also has some group fitness rooms and a basketball/raquetball court which looks really nice, as well as a cycling studio. Locker rooms are pretty clean with showers and a sauna. Lastly, there is the hydromassage machines which were really relaxing to use, however they cost extra aside from the regular gym membership. Gym staff is very friendly and accommodating, from the personal trainers to the people that work the front desk, as well as the fellow patrons that attend this gym. For those looking for a good gym in the area, I would recommend this place for sure!

This gym has gone from being one of the biggest and most successful Workout World locations in New…read moreEngland to a complete disappointment. Under the previous manager, Danny, this gym was run with pride, passion, and a genuine focus on the members. He cared about the people who came through the doors, supported local charities, worked with the community, and created an atmosphere where members and employees actually felt like they were part of something. Unfortunately, since the company replaced him with the current management, this gym has gone downhill dramatically. The current management has shown a lack of care for the members, the staff, and the overall condition of the facility. The gym has lost the sense of community and professionalism that once made it stand out. Equipment is constantly broken and left unusable for months at a time with little to no urgency to repair or replace it. Despite membership prices increasing over the years, there have been no major improvements, upgrades, or new equipment added to justify the higher cost. Members are being asked to pay more while receiving less. The gym may be clean on the surface, but the priorities seem completely misplaced. Time and effort are spent on small, low-impact tasks while bigger issues that actually affect members continue to be ignored. For example, areas like the bottom of the water fountain are cleaned consistently, but broken equipment, organization, and improving the overall member experience seem to be pushed aside. Cleaning is important, but focusing on minor details while ignoring major problems shows a lack of understanding of what members actually care about. The biggest issue with this location is the current management. The manager has removed almost all of the previous staff members who helped make this gym a welcoming and enjoyable place, leaving only a couple of employees along with the manager's sister. The difference in the atmosphere is obvious. The remaining non-management staff members are still helpful and professional, but the management team has created an environment where members often feel ignored. The front desk is frequently left unattended or difficult to access because management is often unavailable when members need assistance. There are many times when the manager and her sister are away from the desk, taking smoke breaks outside, or sitting behind the desk on their phones instead of being focused on helping members, addressing concerns, or maintaining the standard this gym used to have. Seeing management appear disengaged while members are waiting for help creates a very poor impression and shows a lack of professionalism. The gym has also become increasingly disorganized. Weights and dumbbells are constantly left scattered around, equipment areas are not properly maintained, and the overall environment feels neglected compared to what it used to be. A gym that was once built around community, motivation, and customer service now feels like a place where members are simply expected to keep paying while the quality continues to decline. My experience reached a new low when I tried to cancel my membership. I had to spend time searching for an employee just to find out what the process was, only to be told I needed to email the financial department and that I would still be charged for another month because of their cancellation policy. The entire process felt unnecessarily difficult and showed a lack of respect for members. It is extremely disappointing to see what this location has become. Workout World used to be a place people were proud to be members of, but poor management decisions have completely changed the experience. I hope the company recognizes how far this gym has fallen and brings in leadership that actually cares about the members, the employees, and rebuilding the community that made this location successful in the first place
