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 only did the four week trial at a very discounted price because I was living in the area temporarily. However, I have never seen such extreme results in only four weeks time as I did when I took these classes 2 to 3 times a week. The group that I did the classes with felt like a close team and the coaches were extremely welcoming and not intimidating. Physically, I pushed my body in ways I never did before in quick bursts of interval training. Every class was different and I looked forward to each one. The workouts are short and varied enough that you feel like you can at least try anything, and the instructors always give an option to make it a bit easier and a bit harder with each exercise intro. Like I said, I have since moved away but am looking to get involved in a gym like this. It's more pricey than others but worth every penny bc I got way better results practically immediately than any other fitness program I've done.

This place is great... No judgments passed... Friendly environment... Mike, owner/coach, is great…read moreand ready to help/encourage when needed. Affordable pricing, results driven workout sessions and WAY better than any other big box gym. If you really want to workout, look no further! AM is the place. There are other similar boot-camp places around, but their ego gets on their way!! Stop by for a kick ars workout! I am sure MIke can cater to children as well.. It's never late, nor too early to start working towards a better, healthier lifestyle.

Taken from their website, "To ensure safety and comfort for all, we ask members to always act…read moreappropriately during training. Any inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated..." The Southington branch of the YMCA violated their very own oath from a trainer (NR) to the Health and Wellness Director (JM) and up to the Branch Executive Director (JJ). As a longtime member of the Southington branch of the YMCA I am both saddened and disgusted. I had participated in their Strength Training class for several years but have been increasingly disappointed with NR mostly because she treats this class as HER time to engage in personal conversation with her friends in the class. Also, I noticed that she would often ignore me and send me clear across the weight room away from her group of friends. Then, a new member (EB) joined this class and eventually EB succeeded in not only ostracizing me even further from the group but began to bully me. The bullying included yelling at me, becoming argumentative and confrontational, treating the weight room as if it belonged to her and not me but most of all she succeeded in turning the other class members against me. I took my concerns to NR on three separate occasions to no avail. So, I then went to the Health and Wellness Director (JM). Previously, I had several positive encounters with JM (she always had a sympathetic ear) as I've been navigating a broken back due to cancer as well as dealing with my daughter's cancer diagnosis. Then... NOTHING. I firmly believe that NR gave her a pack of lies. So, I took my concerns to the Branch Executive Directo (JJ). Then... NOTHING. Again, I believe there were more lies from NR. I now belong to Big Sky and can't believe I didn't move sooner! Big Sky is everything the YMCA Southing branch is NOT! The facility is clean and pristine with a massive amount of equipment and staffed with amazing and professional people. The members are courteous, respectful, helpful and quietly go about exercising. The trainers never talk about their kids, vacations etc. like NR did in every single class. I spoke to the trainers about my horrifying experience with NR and the trainers all said the same thing - that NR acted extremely unprofessional and likely felt intimidated and threatened by me because I'm a serious weight lifter. If you read to the end I thank you!

The staff are kind, personable, knowledgeable, and responsive to members' inquiries and requests…read more Their Yoga programs run a gamut of time schedules and target populations.

This review shows it's for Bristol, CT., it is not. The Bristol Gym is doing it correctly, this…read morereview pertains to the new gym in Newington, CT. I was unable to correct it to state the Newington, CT gym. The gym is stating they are part of the Silver Sneakers program, but I checked directly with Silver Sneakers and they are not. Moreover, when I was in the gym checking it out, they were charging a couple $29.99/month each to use the pool. Silver Sneakers rules require member gyms to provide the basic level membership at no cost to the member. The basic level service includes the use of the pool. The gym is also restricting Silver Sneakers hours to 8:00 a.m. to 12:00p.m., again not permitted under Silver Sneakers rules. Management there was uninterested to say the least in correcting this. Seniors stay away from this gym; they are charging for services under the name of Silver Sneakers and are not part of that program.

I relocated from Connecticut to New York for work and initiated my cancellation on February 26,…read more2026. I followed up via email on March 9, provided my proof of relocation (bank statement) the same evening, and received written confirmation from a GF Fitness representative on March 11 that my account would close after two final payments -- $39.59 on 3/27 and $65.99 on 4/1. His exact words: "After that you are all set and won't have any additional charges." That should have been the end of it. Instead, GF Fitness went completely silent for 2.5 months while continuing to charge my account every single month -- charges I never authorized, for a gym I hadn't stepped foot in since moving. When I followed up on May 28, a different staff member -- apparently with no access to prior correspondence -- sent me the exact same "we need proof of relocation" email from March, as if the entire documented exchange never happened. When I pointed to the March 11 confirmation email, they claimed they "never received" the bank statement. That claim directly contradicts their own written confirmation from two months prior. As of June 2026 -- three months after written confirmation of cancellation -- I am still being charged. I have now sent a formal demand letter citing the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act (CUTPA) and initiated a chargeback dispute with my bank. The gym itself is fine. The staff on the floor were always friendly. But the billing and membership management operation is either deeply incompetent or deliberately predatory. Either way, if you ever need to cancel, get every single thing in writing -- because their word means nothing. I have 14 emails proving that.
