It feels like an old school gym without the intimidation. First gym I worked out at that felt like a community, Berlin is better because of this place. Does it cost more than PF? Barely, and it's worth it. Some people here said that the equipment is old and broken all the time. The equipment is classic and works the muscles so well. Definitely not the case, plus they were always on top of repairs. Probably one of the best gyms in the state, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do

These guys are hands on and involved in the facility in every aspect (Malibu Fitness in Farmington as well). They are the nicest guys and actually listen to their members. If something breaks, it's fixed before the next day. They keep this place running smoothly and spotless! The clientele here is also one of the best groups of people I've ever met at a gym. I'm a lifer at Powerhouse. Tom Roark

The Fitness Center for women is local, small gym that's currently moving to a new location…read more Generally, the staff is very pleasant and polite, and they help you with everything, take free measurements for you and all. The trainers are VERY nice and polite. The owner, however, is anything but. I signed up twice --- the first time before I had gone to college, and had enough free time to commit to a schedule. It worked out fine until I had to cancel due to financial problems (I enrolled in college and could no longer afford to be in college and to afford the $41.48 membership fee, so I had to cancel.) I did this legitimately, by paying the $99 cancellation fee after about 5-6 months. After that, since I was in college, I did not attend the gym for about 2-3 years, until this summer when I had about 3 months to sign up again, this May (my new contract actually began 5/29/13). So, I thought fine, I can afford this until I get a stable income after graduating college (I am graduating this year.) However, as the months passed on, I noticed another charge on my bank account for $46.59 in ADDITION to the $41.48 which was already taken out. I was fully aware of the yearly $25.00 fee, which had already came out, but this was something else. This extra charge was explained to me (much later, I might add) and the staff of the bank as an "insufficient funds" charge. The $20 "insufficient funds charge" + $41.48 - $46. I called the gym the very day I noticed the charge, and immediately asked to speak to the owner, however she was on vacation at the moment and they said I needed to wait for a week until she got back. This was not acceptable due to the fact I had missing funds in my account at the moment, and I could not wait for the owner to sort it out with me. I am a college student and need EVERY cent in my account, and I do not account for such errors like "double billing" and other things that would cause my account to go into the negative. I had to call my bank and file a chargeback for the extra amount of the $46. Bank of America explained this charge as a merchant error, and the bank refunded me the amount. The gym owner very rudely stated when she called today, that she disputed the charge against her company, because it was "not her error" and said that the bank is going to retract the refunded amount from my bank. The owner, Kristie, was VERY rude and didn't seem to be very understanding of the problem. She insisted that she "did nothing wrong", and when I mentioned i'd like to cancel out of pure frustration and because I was moving out of town soon (and would be signing up with a much cheaper gym) in addition to all the trouble this has caused me with the bank (with overdraft fees and calling both the bank AND the gym to

I joined the Fitness Center For Women last June after having an annual physical that left me…read morefeeling very upset about my physical condition and weight. The nurse practitioner recommended it to me, and I have no regrets at all about joining -- it has been a wonderful experience. When you start, they evaluate your fitness level, and design a workout for you, also spending an hour of time with you making sure you know how to set up the machines and how to do each exercise without hurting yourself. I worked out on my own mostly over the summer and also tried the hula hoop class with Tanya. Not only is it a very fun class -- it is a good workout that raises your heart rate and makes you sweat. This Fall, I joined the Diva Boot Camp. I am far from a Diva, but I have found a great group of women who support each other with making it through some tough workouts and do so consistently. Kristie, the gym owner, leads the camp, and she keeps the workouts varied and interesting. She is encouraging and tough all at the same time. I was new to the area, and this has really made me feel like I have a community of people who are becoming friends and who are striving together to meet their goals. Next June, when I go back for my annual physical, I suspect it will be a very different experience. For anyone who has not tried an "all women's gym" and is curious -- I highly recommend it. It just takes the edge off and let's you focus on your workouts and not worry about whether you look presentable. There is not a lot of vanity -- it's a place where women can work out and feel at ease whatever your size or fitness level. Go for it -- you have nothing to lose (except a few pounds) ; )

I hate to have to update my review like this, but this gym is going downhill fast. The membership…read morefees of $73/month are no longer worth the headache. What used to be open spaces for members are now solely reserved for group exercise classes. I would understand that sentiment if there were more than 2 classes held a day. These communal spaces are now locked which leaves members to resort to overcrowding the turf and track areas. Equipment is a hit or miss. There's an entire treadmill row that doesn't work and even one with a slash straight down the middle. There are only two stairmasters that work and are always being utilized. The communication from the leadership team is almost nonexistent when asking about these problems. I come here because it's accessible, not because I want to. Where is my money going?

Better spacing and layout would improve the overall experience for members. In addition, an evaluation of the employees could help the YMCA run more effectively. Some staff members were not very helpful and did not acknowledge me when I needed assistance. However, one staff member, a young lady named Kaliyah, stood out in a positive way. She was very attentive, helpful, and provided excellent customer service. Kudos to her for making my experience better!

I've been gym hopping for a few years since I was unable to find a spot with a good mix of classes,…read moreexercises and trainers that I enjoyed working with. This place has really changed that for me. The trainers are amazing here- some of the best I've had. There is a method to their strength and conditioning where they focus on certain parts of the body each class and have a focus each month. Monday's and Wednesday's are known as strength days and Tuesdays and Thursdays are cardio days. Fridays are cardio boxing days and Saturday and sundays are the playground days. These classes have set exercises and intervals each time and the trainers run through each exercise and what the interval means before starting the workout. Then they end with a finisher that changes up each time. The trainers also truly care about form and pushing you to help you get stronger!

Fearless Fitness is awesome ! After being a loyal client of another local boot camp gym (for…read moreyears), I switched to Fearless for three main reasons : 1) early morning class time --5:30am which is crucial for me as I have to be at work by 7:30am. Side note : moving it even earlier (5:15) would be amazing !!! 2) individual attention from trainers-- trainers thoroughly explaining each workout and movement to make sure you are using the appropriate weight and motion -- much less chance of getting hurt !! 3) workouts stick to a "plan" each day of the week Mondays and Wednesdays are strength focused Tuesdays and Thursdays are more cardio Fridays are boxing !!! Love this And the weekend classes are a mix of everything (sure to kick your butt!!!) The only reasons I am not giving it 5 stars are because 1)some (not all) trainers do not start class on time and it's really frustrating if you have a tight schedule (in the mornings ) to be waiting 5 or so minutes to start class And 2) as this gym grows and classes can sometimes have 20+ people they need to accommodate this and have enough equipment for each station (or make extra stations) and have an extra trainer at the class for that individual attention Overall I am a happy client and hopefully they will work through these growing pains -- they are expanding to a second location!!!
