This is a really great studio that provides a well rounded workout. As other reviewers have stated, you alternate between treadmills and floor/weight exercises. The treadmills have a simulation running that tells you when to increase speed and incline. The simulation has intervals with recovery time built in. On the floor, you go through sets of exercises with a trainer. There are some cardio bursts built in as well. You can choose to do floor only, and the exercises change each time so you aren't just repeating the same ones two rounds in a row. Even the 45 minute express workouts are a great, short, well rounded workout! I particularly like Malik and Charbel. read more

This is the best workout in Philadelphia. Moving from fitness focused LA it took me months to find a workout that met my expectations here in Philly and RIPPEDPHL exceeds them! Katie, Charbel, Malik and Carly are wonderful instructors and I get a great workout every day. read more

I signed up for the all strength option because I am not a fan of running and wanted to try out the workout. That was a mistake. If you choose all strength, you repeat the same exercises twice in a row while the other participants switch between running and strength. I was exhausted, not in a good way, at the end and woke up the next morning with a pain in my neck and shoulder. I am now in physical therapy because of this pain (which did not go away and only got worse). I wish going in that I had known that there wouldn't be any variety and that I would be performing the same set of exercises twice through as I think that I may have modified them and may not have injured myself in the process. read more

Ripped is by far my favorite class in philly. The instructors are encouraging and amazing! Always pushing me further than I thought I could possibly go! Such a friendly place to start my day off right! read more

Came here via Classpass for the Full Body. Class structure is 15 min of interactive cardio (with 3 different options; easy, medium, hard), 15 min 'strength' training, and then repeat. Not sure if it's because I was new but overall the whole class felt extremely RUSHED. CARDIO: while the treadmills are pretty fancy and do make it feel more 'real' to run on, they only increase speed and incline by 0.01 intervals. The method itself is quite nice because the system makes you go back and forth between running, jogging, and walking. So sprints usually last for 30 seconds then you switch to 30 seconds of walking, etc. HOWEVER, since you have to click to adjust between the speeds manually, it takes about 15 seconds to GET up to speed or back down, and before you know it; it's time for the next interval. STRENGTH: each exercise was between 8-60 seconds, so this felt reaaaally more like a cardio strength training session rather than targeting specific muscle groups. Again, we were switching weights in between the exercises and doing different movements so when you finally got settled; exercise was basically over. Overall: instructor was nice but it was 60 minutes of huffing and puffing and trying to make sure I was doing the right exercise but was not sore AT ALL the next day, which makes me feel like we didn't actually do that much work. read more

I have been working out here for about a month and I love it!! Really hard workout but it's awesome. As others have explained, 15 min treadmill, 15 min weights, 15 min treadmill then 15 min weights. It's done in a room with the lights dim and music pumping. This is probably the most fun I have while working out. The treadmill workout is hard! It is a serious of intervals with sprints and inclines. However, the treadmills here make it easier to run on. The trainers are great! I always get a great workout. They're also always trying to make it a fun environment such as dressing up in costume for Halloween etc. The only draw back is it is expensive. However, they started a rewards program to help, and hopefully there will be other incentives. I highly recommend it as a great and really fun workout!! read more

My cousin and I tried this workout today. It was an amazing workout and I got more cardio in than I would have on my own which is great. It was a fast paced class so there wasn't even enough time to think about how hard you were working. Definitely will be back. read more

I have done a few of the strength/cardio classes around Philadelphia and thought Ripped was comparable to them in the overall workout, however I thought the environment left a little to be desired. You are in a small dark room the entire time facing the wall (and a treadmill screen which plays scenic routes). Pros: The treadmill had the incline/speed suggestions written out and a timer so you always knew what to do. Cons: It felt claustrophobic running in that tiny room, even with the screens. The instructor was clear and showed all the moves for the strength portion but the format of: run, lift, run, lift made it hard to get into a groove for either portion, but overall it was a hard class which went by fast. read more

RIPPEDPHL is awesome. From someone that has been to numerous exercise classes and gyms around the city, this is by far one of the best. Not only are all the trainers amazing and super helpful, but by switching from treadmill to weights every 15 minutes you won't get bored. Anyone can do anything for 15 minute right?! I love that fact that each day is a different muscle group. It makes me feel like I am really getting stronger, every class I go to. If you are interested in getting your sweating and getting your butt kicked (in a good way), I would definitely try one of their many classes! read more

Great workout with even greater staff and instructors. By far the most effective workout class.

Ripped is my favorite workout in the city! I've been going for over two years now and still LOVE it. The instructors and staff are all amazing and so nice. The workouts are always changing and are very challenging. A great place to come everyday to workout! read more

Awesome workout! The changing of intervals keeps you distracted and challenged, and it's over before you know it! You leave feeling like you had a great workout,band it isn't grueling! Very clean facilities and friendly, helpful staff. Highly recommend for those looking to get in shape! read more

This has been my favorite fitness studio since moving to Philadelphia. A friend recommended Ripped after attending these classes to get in shape for her wedding. I have been regularly attending Ripped 4x a week for the past 4 months to get in shape for my own wedding. I have seen such big changes in my figure and I couldn't be happier. All of the instructors are great- but Katie and Alex are hands down my favorite. Their classes are always challenging but they keep you focused and motivated the entire time. read more

This is the BEST workout in Philly! I've been coming here for a month now and every workout has been dynamic and challenging. While the setup of the class is the same every time, I leave with a completely different workout using different muscles every time. Considering signing up for the 3 month plan soon! read more

I have never been a fan of workout classes until I found Ripped through Class Pass. Whether it's the 45 minute express or full 60 minute class you will hands down get an amazing workout. I enjoyed their classes so much that I canceled my class pass membership and joined their unlimited program. It's a very intimate setting - dim lighting, fun music, and energetic environment. You don't have to worry about what anyone else is doing or feel like you are being judged. Whether you are a marathon runner or someone who hasn't worked out in over a year, you can pick how hard you push yourself. I cannot say enough good things about each and every staff member who continuously motivates you without judgment. Their instructors are extremely helpful at guiding you through the exercises and will help you modify if needed. If you are in Philly and looking to join a network of inspiring people.. look no further! read more

Absolutely love this gym. Just started this week and I already feel like I've been there for a month. The staff couldn't be nicer and more welcoming. The workouts are also amazing they are very intense but you can go at your own pace which is nice. Really enjoy this gym already! read more

My favorite workout in Center City! A great workout that incorporates both cardio and strength training. It takes a bit to get used to running while watching a virtual screen, but it is very helpful to see the timed intervals and have options for speed modifications right in front of you rather than being told/yelled at you as in many other classes. Also, the amenities are fantastic! Free locker, (which they give you a key for so feels very secure), showers with towels provided, luxury body wash/shampoo/conditioner with essential oil base. Also, very thankful for the student discount rates! read more

This class is truly addictive because you see results so fast! I have tried my share of training classes but was hooked on my first try at RippedPHL. The energy of the instructors, the awesome music, the fast paced intervals... 60 minutes feel like 15, even for a lazy ass like me! Time literally flies, and after each class, I can't wait for the next one! If anything, just to see if I can do better. It is perfectly devised to challenge beginners and fitness buffs alike. The only person you have to compete with is yourself. All I know is that it makes you want to push your limit EVERY TIME! You know what I mean if you've been there. If you haven't, you have to try! There is nothing like this workout system in Philly! It's so effective that if you give it a week, you already see the results, and keep coming back for more! I dropped all my other classes and memberships after I tried Ripped. It's like the "dating around and finding the love of your life" - fitness edition! read more

Ripped In Cherry Hill is a great gym! The classes are for all levels and intense for everyone. The trainers are motivating and helpful. When you walk out of there you feel great about yourself and what you just accomplished. Once you try it, you'll keep going back for more. read more

I really like this studio but I went to a class here a few weeks ago when the power went out halfway through a class with Malik. At the end of class Malik told me and others in the class that the owner (Katie) would soon email everyone in the class to offer some kind of voucher for the class. I never received an email so the next time I was in the studio I asked Katie about it. She was rude to me and told me that they were not doing anything for that class, saying that the class was still 40 minutes (which wasn't true, it only lasted 30) and that "no one else had even asked for a voucher," suggesting that me asking the question was ridiculous. It wasn't a fun experience since I was only asking based on what my original instructor had said would happen. On top of that, classes are expensive and I suppose I was expecting a much better (and nicer) response even though the power outage was not their fault. Anyways, disappointed in the way the staff seems to treat studio-goers. A good workout, but that interaction does not make me want to go back. read more

LOVE rippedphl! Great workout that really helps you push your limits. It is definitely a challenge, but after a few classes you can feel yourself progressing and getting stronger. Always really fun music to motivate you and the instructors are all fantastic. This is a tough workout that will get you results! read more

I have been a member at Ripped since June 2016, averaging 4 classes a week. I love that after all of this time every class is still is a struggle. The instructors are great. Everyone is so personable and their drive and determination to see each person that walks through that door "kick butt" and push their limits is what keeps me coming back for more. I don't have enough good things to say about my Ripped fam, except thank you. You guys rock! read more

Love this place. Currently, my favorite place to be in Philadelphia ! Super fun and intense workout I'm so happy I joined. I feel so good, fresh and energetic when I walk out after class every morning (ofcourse during the class I am almost dead) but it has done wonders for me. I Love these guys! read more

I love it here! The facility is clean and new, the staff is friendly and helpful. The vibe is great and very relaxed, all the instructors and even fellow students in the classes have all been so great. I am always on the go and Ripped fits in my schedule perfectly with 45min or 1hr classes, plus it's right in center city so it's super easy to get to. I love interval training and enjoy the strength exercises we do in class. I am always recommending this place to my friends. read more

Most efficient workout in Center City! Better cardio than spin. Great for days it's too cold (or hot) to run outside. The weight portion of class will help you strengthen. Instructors are great, though the intervals go by too quickly for them to correct form (unless the class is small). The interval training helps a lot with outdoor running, increasing your VO2 Max. read more

I'm a New York transplant to the Philadelphia area and I've had the privilege of working with some of the finest trainers and attending the best boutique exercise classes while living in NYC. Due to personal circumstances when first moving to Philly, several months went by before I began to think about about exercising again. At this point I felt like I had lost much of my muscle definition and, honestly, I wasn't feeling good about myself. I set out on a mission to find high-quality classes that would inspire me. From experience, I knew what I wanted and have always had very high expectations. And then I found RIPPEDPHL! If you want a serious "kick ass" workout and want to see fast results, then this is your place. Treadmill and HIIT kind of says it all. How can you not get a good workout? I am constantly amazed at the different types of exercises that are given in the classes. They are by far the most innovative and creative exercises that I've ever seen. The instructors circulate through the class, reminding you to engage your core muscles, and correcting your form if you're not doing something properly. I also had the opportunity of taking some private one-on-one personal training sessions. Again, off the charts amazing fast results and again, some of the most innovative exercises that I've ever done. Katie and Charbal, the owners, are the most down to earth, authentic, and enthusiastic people that you will ever meet. This place has a really great energy. read more

Been coming here now 4-5 times a week for about 6 weeks now since moving into the area.... Had previously been going it alone at a gym, now I'd never consider going back! Every time I go to Ripped I have a great experience: enthusiastic and helpful instructors; excellent equipment and facilities; and, a motivating and fun atmosphere! All the trainers are great and I have to give kudos to the owner, Katie, who clearly takes pride in her business and in ensuring her clients have nothing less but an excellent experience! read more

Signed up for a 7AM through class pass and for some reason I wasn't on their reservation list. When I showed up the lady at the desk was unhelpful, unapologetic and wouldn't let me into the class. She said the class was full which I would understand if I was a walk-in but considering I reserved a class and something went wrong I would expect a business who cares about their customers to be accommodating. Don't care how good the workout might be; will never return to a business that doesn't care about their customers. read more
