I give ZERO stars to the wellness programs. However I LOVE this gymnaside from that and could not…read moregive them anything less than 5stars: I want to share my experience so others are aware of the policies before enrolling in the wellness program. Four days before the program started, our health insurance unexpectedly changed because my spouse's employer switched carriers very quickly. Around the same time, my grandmother began actively passing. I was one of her primary caregivers and spent nearly two weeks by her side while she was dying. Despite communicating these circumstances, there was no compassion or flexibility from the program. They also ended up charging my card a $200 bio fee, which really left a bad taste in my mouth considering everything I had been communicating with them. They asked me to respond by March 6 about my insurance, which I did by updating my information through the patient gateway on March 6. I was later told they don't check the patient gateway, which makes me question why patients are asked to use it in the first place. The class itself also felt overfilled, with not enough space or equipment for everyone to participate as advertised. When I asked if I could transfer to the next weight-loss program due to these circumstances, I was denied, but was told I could continue with dietitian visits. If I had only wanted dietitian visits, I wouldn't have signed up for a structured wellness program. The gym itself is fantastic, and I would absolutely encourage people to enjoy the facility and even start their own program using the many resources available online. However, I would strongly encourage anyone considering the wellness program to carefully review their policies before signing up.

I really enjoy this gym. There are three pools, two of which have fun water features for kids and…read moregrown ups to enjoy, a hot tub, and group classes/weight loss and wellness programs in which I am partaking. The also offer childcare if you need it and are a good birthday party spot. I'm disappointed that The Juicery, which was a useful installation, is no longer there so there are no longer juices and smoothies available for sale. They only sell drinks now. The locker rooms are usually relatively clean; however, sometimes I'll find hair in the shower which grosses me out, but most of the time I feel good about showering in there. The rates tend to be expensive, but the cost is middle of the road compared to other gyms of which I've been a member. More than Planet Fitness but less than Seacoast Athletic Club (gold's gym) in Portsmouth.

Great facility and staff. Enjoy the classes with knowledgeable instructors. I recommend this gym.read more

I've been a member of Seacoast Kettlebell for a year now and hands down, it has been THE BEST gym…read moreexperience I've had. Here was my situation a year ago - most of my life, up until we had kids, I'd stayed in top shape with a combination of running, biking, climbing. . . etc. However, with 2 young kids under 4, at 39 years old, I found myself very out of shape. I'd tried the P90X and the INSANITY videos (which are great) but I'd never stick with them for more than a couple weeks. I needed exactly what Seacoast Kettlebell offered: - Intense, varied workouts that were 1 hour long and offered throughout the day at times that worked with my family, kid, work schedule - Accountability - coaches and others at the gym to push me when, if I was working out on my own, I would want to slack off. Everyone is friendly and the culture at SKB is to encourage each other. - Wholistic - the workouts, over the course of a week, address every aspect of fitness, from endurance to cardio to core strength and also flexibility. No home routine was giving me that. Keep in mind, though, that Seacoast Kettlebell is a CrossFit-affiliated gym - CrossFit is a philosophy & a method of training called H.I.I.T. used by some of the world's best athletes. At SKB, I have found that I'm training with SERIOUS athletes and I am always pushed to work hard. Some of these fellow SKB'ers are training for marathons/triathlons plus several UNH teams are trained by SKB - that said, there are always serious athletes at each class that really push me so I can make the most of the hour-long session. Some people will find that training at this level is not for them. SKB has a great one-month trial membership so you can give it 30-days to see if you like it.

I'm visiting from out of town and back home in California I'm a crossfitter. I have been attending…read morethis gym for 3 weeks (my stay here in New Hampshire) and have really enjoyed myself. Apparently this place used to be a crossfit, but it didn't work well for them so they dropped the name. Many of their exercises are similar however and what I found cool is that they do a lot of kettlebell work (in the name right? lol). I attended the large class and the more private smaller classes. Both are fine and incorporate weights with cardio. The exercises are varied and have left me sore, even considering I'm an avid crossfitter at home. There are a few things I don't like but I think it's more of where I come from and how I like to exercise so nothing really bad on the gym. I enjoy more pushing during my workout, like "you can do more weight, just add a little" or "you got this don't drop that weight." I personally find that encouragement helpful (not to injury of course). There are a LOT of instructors here and one or two I have noticed are helpful that way but not the majority. Although they don't claim to be a weight lifting gym, they do incorporate olympic weight lifting a little. My last and only real complaint I guess is that several of their instructors do not have a good knowledge base for weight lifting. It's not really their main thing nor is it heavily relied on in the workouts so not a giant deal. I'm not faulting them for this in my rating but I was really surprised that for example...depth in a squat was faulted by several instructors. Things like that make me put less weight on the bar during workouts here because I'm not confident personally to weight lift "alone" more or less. So if one wants olympic weight lifting or an emphasis on it, go somewhere else. However, for free weights, kettlebells and body weight movements/exercises this place is awesome and I definitely recommend. I will be returning when I come back!
