I joined City Fitness back in February with the Graduate Hospital location as my home gym. I come…read more3-4 times a week to run on the treadmill, utilize their free weights, and bop around machines. The crowd is almost exclusively young professional neighborhood residents (Grad Hospital, Rittenhouse, Fitler, etc) since this is the only real gym option in the area. The sign up process is fine, you'll have to meet with membership and go through an array of hurdles in order to unlock the lower price rate, but the team is very nice and the price is fair for what you get - which is a super nice gym! I have not visited the other (nicer) locations but this location probably sits squarely at a 3.5 rather than 4. I like the machines but the class spaces are way too small and fill up very quickly. I do NOT go at peak times because there's simply no room on the floor. I look forward to checking out the new NoLibs location at some point and have friends who enjoy the Fairmount location a lot. I wish there were a few more class offerings. I thought there would be mat pilates and there really isn't true mat pilates offered at this location. I wish the sauna was housed inside of the locker rooms and also that the locker room itself wasn't so small. There have been an array of closures, updates, and improvements being made, but overwhelmingly it's been an easy option for my workout routine.

City Fitness is extremely unethical in their billing and sales departments! I have been in the…read moreindustry for over three decade. I worked for 24 Hour Fitness, NY Health and Racket Club, NYSC, Bally's, and 12th St gym. Some of the sales people, like Dom at Spring Garden, will say anything to sell a membership. When I went into the Spring Garden location with my 11 year to discuss with him correcting how he misrepresented the gym with my membership sale. Dom told my son when he is eighteen he will sell my son a membership. No class! City Fitness prides themselves on having the best. The truth is the best instructors are either at the new Sporting Club at the Bellvue or on their own. The Precore equipment they outfit their gyms with is trash. Planet Fitness supplies its gyms with Matrix equipment. Far superior, and they added 6-8 new plate loaded pieces that are top of the line. Before joining City Fitness consider ALL other option. Just my humbl and very well experienced advice. Stay fit and stay real

The gym is fairly clean, and the staff and members are always friendly, which makes for a great workout environment. They have a wide variety of cardio machines and workout equipment, so it's easy to get a full-body workout. Most of the times I go, it's never too crowded, which is a huge plus. I also tried one of the classes, and it was a great experience!

I explained I had Silversneaker plan and wish for a quick tour. He handed me a tablet to fill in my information (name, email, etc), but I did not click on the 3 boxes approving sending me spam, etc. When I told a woman who appeared at the desk I did not wish to receive text, etc, just a tour, it seemed to throw her off. The gentleman came back and not having the boxes checked also threw him off. I restated I just wanted a tour and asked should I just go home? So he just bristly walked me through the work out and did not mention the pricing until as asked if I would get everything on Silversneakers (of course not, but this dude need the tablet with all the boxes checked to give pricing). I thank him and left. My feeling was the two people working the desk last job was in fast food...

The staff is great - they make it a point to know their members. They promote a feeling of family- but if you just want to do your thing and not socialize that's cool too! We utilize the personal training and could not be happier with the results. You can utilize your key fob to go to any anytime fitness- this is a GLOBAL gym with gyms on every continent! However, I have been to a bunch locally and a few out of state and this one is by far the best!!

This gym is 3 blocks from my apartment, and therefore the easiest to make frequent visits to and…read morehardest to make excuses for not going. It is also relatively free of annoying, pretentious people and the staff (not that I'm there to have lengthy chats with them) is fairly friendly, helpful and what-have-you. The cost is somewhere between Bally's and the glorious Powerhouse Gym of the scenic Northeast (other gyms I have, in some capacity, been to). They don't force you into a contract or give you a schpiel and a tour and a subsequent stalking. They do, however, make you pay a hefty deposit upon joining. I rationalized the monthly fee by continually refusing to pay those Comcast heathen and going cable free. Clearly, I made a healthy choice... ...but getting back to Lifesport: it's clean and well organized and has every type of equiptment you might need to pursue whatever individualized fitness regimen you chose to adopt. You will have relatively easy access to everything unless you're there around 6pm on a weekday. At these times, you have to sign up for each piece of coveted cardio thing you wish to use. Further, you can only do this in 20 minute incriments, which can be a bit irritating. If you fail to sign up during these periods, you are likely to get a tap on the shoulder from someone who has. This is the only drawback to this otherwise fine gym, perhaps besides the omission of individual cable TV's on every treadmill, complimentary soap-downs, personal fluffers and spontaneous gay sauna encounters. But this isn't Bally's, so you better not push it, Fairmount yuppie!!

Gym chain that makes an effort to steal your money…read more Here are some fun facts about their policies before you sign up. According to their cancellation (or freeze) agreement, you need a doctor's note for every month that you attempt to freeze the plan. They will also magically mark you as "checked in" to the gym the day you cancel so that it looks like you've been using it, even if you haven't checked in & have been trying to cancel for long periods of time because you can't physically show up. Their policy for cancellation is to continue charging your account even when you physically come in to sign. I called multiple times. "Our policy is not to do it over the phone." I couldn't come in, they 'froze my account' until I could drive an hour back to my original place to cancel. They told me they would still charge me for this whole month, bc I didn't do it 7 days in advance. I said I shouldn't be charged, you froze it. "They do not have a record of it." But what we do have is a very long trail of phone records of my calling to cancel with no avail. What do they think I do? Call to chat about how I do not use their gym & went to a different place a long time ago? A policy to scam as many people out of as much money as possible.

That's where I met James, Hannah, & Tracey:). Over time, I realized I enjoyed James' discipline & coaching above the others because it focused on personal best and not making it a contest. He also gave me a taste for the "Strongman" which our former box seemed to shy away from. I was thrilled when they opened their own place & happily followed them along (with my dog, Mango). Crossfit & Strongman is not elitist athleticism as some would believe or advertise. It's more evolved than that for me. It's mental therapy from my work & my life. It's physical therapy. It's anger management. It was the "Goldilocks" in my fitness where all my attempts with other gyms & fad diets failed. So much $$$ wasted... if I had only knew then what I know now, right? FFE is community, family, people who throw down, cheer each other on then sometimes throw back a few beers after (or ciders). It's balance because life is about balance. They keep healthy realistic. Mango & I can't wait to meet all the new members. See you all out on the floor in "recovery" position;). #SweatAngelsEverywhere
