This gym is fairly new and has a great selection of equipment. The gym is large and spacious serving a wide variety of clients. In my time there I have seen young and old come and workout here with no issues. The gym being as large as it is gives a good selection of things to do. All the equipment is new and very well maintained. However it being such a great gym means more people and your typical busy hours are BUSY. 5-7 pm is a madhouse. If you can swing earlier or later than that I would unless you don't mind waiting for equipment. This gym has free classes that a treated as first come first serve which is very nice. My wife had done their spin class and loves it. Also they have included with membership FREE tans in very nice tanning beds. I believes they have about 8 beds and I have never had to wait for one. That being said if you did have to wait, they have comfortable seating as well as FREE fully body massage chairs in a dim lit room to relax in. I have been a member of many gyms and this one for what it offers at the low price of 25.00$ a MONTH! It's an amazing deal. I have one complaint and this I believe is aimed more towards gym goers than staff. The men's locker room specifically the bathroom side has been very dirty at times. I don't know if it's the carelessness of the members to splash water all over the sink and floor or to not flush the toilets and leave paper towels on the ground but come on, grown ass adults here clean up your shit. This is a very busy gym with people coming and going throughout the day and staff can't singlehandedly stay on top of picking up after all the dirty people. Clean up your shit. Long story short, 25$ includes gym, classes, massage chairs, and tanning. Try and top that anywhere else in the area. read more

It broke my heart to cancel my membership to Pursue, but I am moving and the commute would not work with my schedule. This was easily my favorite gym I've ever belonged to and I have belonged to a lot. The membership is very reasonably priced. The equipment is nice and well maintained and the staff is friendly and welcoming. I will miss this gym. read more

One of the best gyms here in town. The staff is always friendly and I've met some awesome people here, definitely recommend for anyone who's looking for a great gym that has everything you need at an affordable price read more

Pursue Fitness - Just hanging out with Alfie the Elf - Gyms Near Me - Springfield, Oregon

See all

I held off leaving a review for quite some time. Mostly because I wasn't familiar with the gym, therefore I didn't like it. It took me a bit to develop my routine moving from Planet Fitness to here. This is definitely a more advanced gym in term of equipment compared to Planet Fitness, which is a very beginner-friendly gym. There's far more free weights and options here. The gym is exceptionally clean, the staff is friendly enough although not overly chatty. Which is perfect for me because I like being anti social. There's a ton of space. I love how much room there is in here. Members are friendly and considerate. They ask if anyone is using a machine or equipment before just taking over. Many will answer questions if you ask as well. It's great because I can learn just by asking in here. I am probably the only fat person in this gym, but I'm never uncomfortable. It is a great place to come and workout. The big benefit for me is that it's close to my house. I can walk here whenever I want, and get my cardio in that way. They aren't expensive either. It's a bit more than Planet Fitness, but the amount I save in gas alone makes it cheaper for me. Big plus there. I pay for tanning with my membership, although I haven't tried it out yet. Mostly because I have a brand new in-progress tattoo that I don't want to damage. Tanning will be later though. Would I recommend this gym? Absolutely! I think it's a great clean and spacious place to lift weights in a comfortable environment. read more

Love Pursue! No nonsense gym thats open 24 hours. It has everything I need for a good workout. I go late in the evening to avoid the crowds. People there are nice and keep to themselves. Respectful of your space. read more

I have been going to this gym for the last 6 months and really love this place. It is always clean, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They have tons of equipment so I have never really had to wait for anything. All the people that use the gym all seem to be very nice and helpful. No attitudes here. read more

Would be 5-Star if Less CNN/CNBC/The View-California Transplants. Cleaner than any Greater Eugene. Great value, Matt/Danielle/Ron couldn't be more customer-friendly (one size Does Not fit all). Men's showers could hustle "hot" more consistently. Spinning music choice more in line with, uh, good, workout conducive, uh, spinning music. Hours great, if you ride the #13, one needs help Sat./Sun, ability to tolerance aplenty weekday crazies, disability-seeking weirdos, attendant "odors." Celina, Julie, Dana two-plus pay grades above competition area's best. Fantastic Gym. read more

Pursue Fitness - Sorry You Cannot See My Ink Through Fur - Gyms Near Me - Springfield, Oregon

Everything I've written in a past review still holds. I'm updating to add some recent observations. Pursue, it seems, prides itself on taking a pretty libertarian philosophy to gyms: few rules, none enforced. Recently, there has been a set of guidelines placed around the gym that advocates against behaviors like ogling, photo taking, etc. I'm not sure if this in response to specific events that have been reported, but in any case, I've never seen any enforcement of these rules and I see on a practically daily basis the following behaviors (exclusively by fairly intimidating-looking men): 1. Loud grunting, yelling, screaming, or howling during or after lifting weights. 2. Rude, sometimes aggressive communication with other members using machines, about when they'll be done using them. 3. Violent moving of benches and weights, sometimes in other people's direction (it seems like this is meant to say to these people that they are in the way). 4. Women approached and chatted up, and clearly giving off signals that they are uncomfortable. I understand management of any gym is in a difficult position: not only is everyone paying to be there, but in this day and age there is also a legitimate danger to staff who confront aggressive people. At the same time, aggressive people ruin the experience of others in ear- or eye-shot, and that's not even to mention the real discomfort or fear they produce in the people they are directly interacting with. Pursue has a great facility and equipment, and perfectly pleasant people working there. None of them, however, seems comfortable enforcing existing rules and/or addressing the bullying and other behaviors of some members. I would encourage the owner or other management who feel comfortable confronting aggressive members to spend some time in the gym in the afternoon and evening, when in my experience these behaviors occur more frequently. read more

Pursue Fitness is my favorite place to train in the Eugene/Springfield area. I live in Eugene, in fact I'm about a 2 minute drive to International Fitness on Delta where I've trained for many years. Since their equipment is limited, dirty, and broken I have no problem with making the drive out to Pursue. A few things that I really appreciate about this place is that it's 24/7 access to members!! Not this BS about being 24/7 (except for Friday, Saturday, Sunday) like International likes to do. Also, it's CLEAN!!!! The staff is dusting and mopping non-stop. It makes a difference when a gym cares for their equipment, as well as the members that use it. Equipment is rather plentiful as well. They have machines, free weights (that section could use more room if I'm being honest), multiple squat racks, lifting platforms, smith machines, a few cable racks, treadmills, stair climbers, etc. I like how spaced out it is, that way you're not bumping into other gym goers while trying to just walk to the fountain. Even when it does get busy, you don't have to feel claustrophobic. I really don't have anything negative to say about Pursue. They've been a great gym with an extremely friendly, and helpful staff! read more

The gym itself is great but DO NOT attend the 5:30 a.m. spin classes. Now, the instructor(s) are wonderful but the gym members in this class are BITTER COLD, mean and stuck up!! I've taught for many (over 20) years in the past and I have never met a worse group of ladies - If they arrive before you- they switch out their bad bike for your good bike, they talk crap behind your back, totally ignore you- if you move to a bike near them- they will move to another bike- they are absolutely evil- I've tried being nice, tried small talk, everything- This morning was the last straw- I made sure that the instructor knew that I wasn't leaving because of her- but I walked out of the class. I will not put up with this BS - I'd much rather just do it on my own then feel like this every spin class!! P.S. How do I know that they switch bikes?? I marked one with a red mark and it's always switched from my usual spot to the spot next to me. It's not good- please don't attend these classes!!! read more

EmployeeS seem extremely bored, feeling the need to clean machines as your still using them! Mopping over bags and whatever is on the ground. I really wish they could use social distancing to not spray sanitizers literally right next to me or in any congested areas while we are working out. Everybody CALM DOWN.. read more

This location is great and has the best staff and manager Matt. When I walk in he says my name and greets me with a huge smile. Great instructors who want you to achieve your goals. It's pretty scary to see the numbers so low but I'm holding on to some good news soon and hope it's back to running at full capacity ASAP. I say let's just get it going....who's on board with me? read more

Upon entering, this gym appears to be high quality. A generous amount of cardio equipment, several spacious areas with a lot of equipment, and side rooms for workout classes. However, after having been a member here for several years, there are a few areas that need improvement. For instance, the Matrix brand equipment is bottom of the barrel in terms of quality. The leg press and hack squats are not good or smooth machines and you have to fight against them to perform your lift. This leads to my second point: this gym desperately needs more plate loaded leg presses and another hack squat. For a gym as busy as this one is, there is simply not enough equipment to allow gym goers to perform their predetermined workout without having to deal with some sort of equipment bottleneck. The hamstring curl machine is not good either. If Pursue were to buy 4-5 more pieces of quality equipment, then it would boost my rating to 5 stars. read more

If you are looking for a cost effective, clean, less "bro" gym. This is your place. I typically go early on weekends and there are few people and I get the equipment I want. I'm sure during peak hours it's different. I hired a trainer when I first started and it was $50 for 60 mins, absolutely worth it! Jesse was my trainer. He was respectful, funny and pushed me. I felt like an athlete training with him. With the New Year approaching this is a great facility to start your fitness journey. Plus amazing taco spot right next door lol! read more

Just moved back to the area and my gym from before was no longer. Numerous people recommended this gym. The price is amazing for the services given! Even their start up fees are very affordable. All the employees have been very kind. They have lots of tanning beds and hardly ever have a wait and if they do it's only about 10 minutes. The size of the gym is huge which works for the amount of people that go there. Women's locker room has showers and is always clean. Tons of lockers. I do competitions and they allow you to use the mirrored room when there's no classes for posing if you need and want. Clean gym, great location, awesome price and very friendly staff. read more

The staff, as well as most of the members, are very young and still have a lot to learn. Even though everyone has their headphones on the music blares louder than a live concert and is usually intolerable. Lot's of great equipment, but you have to put up with the young staff who are rarely focused on their work, and the young members who may have a different idea that you about what is acceptable public behavior. During COVID many members wear their masks pulled down under their nose. No staff say anything. I've seen them stand and chat with members who have no mask on at all. They need more stations for disinfecting, you have to walk quite a way to get the stuff before you can clean a station and move on to the next one, making for a very slow workout. read more

I love this gym but it's super annoying having to wait for staff to finish their personal conversations before they'll return to the desk to help check you in. If you come in in the AM and need to tan or talk to someone, be prepared to wait until someone returns to the front desk read more

Open 24/7, staffed for long hours; beginning early in the morning. Different membership packages for different needs. A TON of equipment and classes for all levels skill, strength and ability. Personal training, tanning, full body scans and more! Darecare available. Clean environment with showers, and lockers. Highly recommend! read more

Front desk workers are always smiling and greeting you when u come in and when u leave. There's a lot of room. Bathrooms are kept clean. Love the child care!! read more

Clean facility and friendly staff. All ages and all body types welcomed. Variety of group classes with great instructors!

Great facility with a wide selection of equipment that's always clean and well maintained. The only gripe I have is with the meathead crew that seems to be stuck on jaw day. The morning set includes a handful of typical clowns who shoot dirty looks when you try to get around them to grab or put back some free weights because they've got to be working out 3 inches from the mirror and the weight rack. You know the type. No shortage of them here. read more

Wish I didn't move across town because this was my favorite gym in town. Wonderful staff and the people who go here are so sweet and helpful and nonjudgmental! Also, loved the free tanning! read more

i stuck with pursue throughout this pandemic nonsense, paying my dues even while not going to the gym. i tried it once wearing a mask and for me it just wasn't ok. i kept hoping they would step up, like other gyms, and ignore the mandate in favor of unobstructed breathing. after receiving an email saying they were raising their rates i decided to cancel my membership that i didn't use. i drove to their facility and waited while the girl was helping somebody else. while waiting i looked around and there were many working out maskless. i told the girl i was going to cancel my membership but now i see people working out without masks. immediately she had an attitude and rambled something about them not being able to police it and march 21st. the rest of the conversation she cut off my sentences. i said "there is no mandate..." and she immediately told me she wasn't going to argue with me. if she would have let me finish the sentence would have ended with "that i have followed which why i haven't been here." out of respect for the facility i kept paying my dues but did not come in without a mask. then i said to her, "can i explain something to you?" she immediately cut me off again with "i don't want to hear it." if she would have listened instead of having a bitchy attitude, she might have learned my actual view on things instead of ASSuming something completely different about me. i ended up telling her f*ck you and leaving. i went home and emailed the owners. guess what, haven't heard a word from them. no call to check into the situation more. no apology for their employee treating me with incredible disrespect. not even a retention attempt. apparently they don't give a crap about their members. read more

I did trial memberships at Oakway and Eugene Athletic Club before deciding on this place. This place won hands down in every single category. It had friendliest most knowledgeable staff and an updated open air modern facility. The icing on the cake is the no contract requirement, lowest monthly payment, and they stay on top of the maintenance. The clientele here is pretty much there to put their work in and I like that. read more

This gym is just okay if you're a body builder. If you are a casual gym-goer, it's probably a pretty decent option. Pros: everything is kept pretty clean, it's fairly spacious, most of the staff is quite nice, the equipment is all new, the dues are super cheap, there's no contact, and the parking/location is great. Cons: they do not have enough of some very basic (and actually pretty cheap) equipment (e.g. not enough benches, cables bars, etc. and actually some of their machines just aren't great quality), it's swampy AF in the mornings because they don't turn the fans on until later in the day, the layout of the gym was not well-planned, they blast the music way too loud during their group classes, and there are some real creepers that go there (not the gym's fault, but that still is a detriment.) I attempted to tell the manager about some of these issues and he didn't seem interested in what I had to say, so maybe he'll listen to a yelp review read more

This is an awesome gym! I'm using a week free then I'm joining. I was a member at IF and their gyms kept shutting down, it's dirty, not enough weight equipment, etc. Pursue has everything I need. read more

Love affordable gyms that offer classes, pricing options, weights, ect. I travel and this is perfect, if I lived here I'd get the top package but I getting the plus! Still can't beat the deal. read more

I've been an avid marathon runner for 30+ years but an injury sidelined me and I needed to stay in shape so I decided to give a gym a try. I was enticed by the offer of low monthly fees and NO contract and was a bit skeptical at first. From the first time I went, everyone was so helpful: the front desk was engaging and happy--even at 5 am! I started with the lowest level membership but was told I could try the classes for no charge a time or 2. I tried out the MX4 class and Lindsay, the instructor, is awesome. It's a true, full-body workout, and she really makes it great. I'm looking forward to trying some of the other classes, too. All of the equipment is brand new, clean, and works great! The shower and locker room facilities are clean, have hot water, and have soap and shampoo for you, too. This gym is worth several times what they charge! It's a great secret in Springfield that won't be a secret much longer! read more

Pro - Friendly staff. Very Clean. Decent variety of classes. Con - Cardio equipment sub par. Music in classes deafening. And the grunts of the guys lifting or the slamming of the weights is overwhelming. Not to mention a lot of the men running around in string tank tops. Great you're in shape, but we don't want to see that. read more

I don't really enjoy the gym, but I mustered as much excitement as I could about opening a membership with Pursue Fitness. Located between my home and work, I thought, "If I'm going to get myself motivated to go anywhere, this is it!" Plus, I figured an all-new facility would be comfortable and cleaner than most. So when I pep-talked myself into going for the first time, I was a bit disappointed that they had failed to finish construction and open on time - mostly because I did not receive any kind of notification from them. I wrote a polite email suggesting they should email members who pre-registered to let us know they were delayed, since I don't generally follow companies on Facebook and hadn't seen those updates. I got a very rude response from Troy, who essentially told me it was my fault and I either typed my email in wrong (I didn't - I received my membership confirmation without problem) or the late opening notice was in my junk box (which I have hand-combed through and still am not able to find, so they either didn't actually send it, or it was sent from a different email than that which I flagged as "safe"). Hoping that Troy was just a not-so-good employee, I looked up the state business registry only to be disappointed to find that Troy Hake is, in fact, the owner. I then Googled him and found that in he apparently has a long history of responding sarcastically and rudely to unsatisfied customers, while never taking responsibility for anything. Even on this Facebook page, I have seen other people complaining about the delayed opening, only to have an employee respond snidely and later delete the unsatisfied comments. And, in addition to just being really bad at customer service, he previously achieved notoriety for using the newsletter of his other company - Outsidepride.com- to complain about the so-called homosexual agenda. Hake's rudeness and lack of taking responsibility certainly do not make me feel welcome or appreciated as a customer, and I sure as heck wouldn't trust someone who responds to polite criticism the way he does to take care of my kids while I worked out. The bigotry was the proverbial last straw - I penned my membership termination today (NOTE to anyone else as disturbed by his history as I was: you can quit now without penalty because the gym was not open when promised - check your contract). I encourage people to think twice before entering into a membership agreement with Hake, who has shown a lack of respect for people whose lifestyles he deems "unwholesome," and who continues to openly shows disdain for his customers' concerns. read more

I am very impressed with the gym! The layout is well thought out organized. I like that I don't have to wade through other members to get to an elliptical machine. The equipment is top notch, took me a bit to understand that the fan on the elliptical really works!! Bonus since I am so out of shape I needed it. The staff is friendly but not overly chatty, just how I like people at 5 AM. I like that there is always someone at the desk so if you have a question someone can answer it. You don't have to seek them out. I understand that they were late in opening but it was not a ride or die for me. Opening a new business is always plagued with challenges. Even when you think you are ready something happens to set things back. Opening late has not changed my opinion of the place. I am recommending it to everyone I know. The selling point is very reasonable membership fees. No initiation costs and no contract. I want to be committed for myself and not to my checkbook. I've already been that person that has committed to other gyms financially thinking I would go after I signed the contract. The psychology behind that thinking didn't work for me, I never went but continued to pay because I had no choice. I like that the payment is not my motivation. I hope that others give this place a fair shot, it is by far the best gym I have ever joined. Thanks for choosing Springfield to make your home! read more

Definitely the best gym in town. It's well rounded, with different avenues of fitness available. They keep their gym clean and you'll never find a piece of equipment inoperable for very long. Matt and the staff keep this place running very well. read more

Although this gym does resemble your average corporate gym, I have to say of the hundreds of gyms I've been to the equipment here is easily a 10 out of 10. Having lived in southern California for some time I have to say that although this gym appears corporate from the outside, it is truly far better than your average gym. Basically coming down to the choices hub equipment and wide range of options when your equipment might be taken. Something like four or five squat racks makes it pretty easy to get the job done. Cardio equipment is packed to the wall and they even have some really high-end pieces that most gyms have not got their hands on yet. Machines have smooth and steady resistance that makes the tension on the muscle feel a lot more effective then your average equipment. Hardcore bodybuilder or just looking to lose 5 lb doesn't really matter this place would do the trick for sure. The only reason for the four out of five it's for the obvious lack of character that a corporate facility brings..... Not much soul. read more

I love this gym! I joined after my friend said I should check it out, and its honestly the best gym I have ever been a member at! The staff are all friendly, its clean, the other members are nice (I have never made friends with other random gym goers before this gym). It is the right size, price, has great hours with the available 24 hour option, and its close to my work. What more could you ask for? read more

I signed up with my wife about 2 months ago I was debating whether to get the plus or basic membership what convinced me to get the plus was because the manager told me there was going to be a sauna installed soon. I asked an employee about when the sauna would be installed. The employee told me they are not getting a sauna. This place is full of liars ! read more

By far the best gym in the area. I have been to four gyms in the past year, and there is no close second. The equipment is all first rate. It is clean and the staff has been great. The fitness rooms are one of the best I have seen. It is unbelievably affordable and I would recommend it to both advance and beginning athletes. Perfect of the muscle head and the elderly If you don't like this gym, you don't really want to workout. Thank you for providing the people in the area a great place to get or stay in shape. read more
