I've never talked to the manager since he NEVER walks the club and avoids members interaction at all costs. But when I show up to find out the club is closed the rest of today and tomorrow for a special event without any kind of in club, online, or proactive text / email communication, I'm just done with these people who could care less about their members' wellness. Homophobic, cruel, and incompetent.

Equinox Darien is NOT safe--and management will NOT protect you…read more After being verbally assaulted, subjected to misogynistic slurs, and physically confronted by a male member on the gym floor, I reported the incident immediately. Multiple witnesses came forward. I was assured it would be handled. It wasn't. The individual was allowed back into the club and continued spreading false, degrading, and misogynistic comments about me to other members and staff. Despite months of detailed reports to senior leadership and HR, Equinox took no meaningful action. Instead, I was met with delays, deflection, and ultimately told they "cannot engage" unless other members contact them directly. Translation: the victim does the work, the harasser faces no consequences. Even more disturbing, staff appeared to tolerate--or participate in--gossip, reinforcing a hostile and misogynistic environment. For a company that markets itself as inclusive and empowering, Equinox chose corporate protection over member safety. If you are a woman and expect to be taken seriously when reporting harassment, this is not the place.

I had a very disappointing experience with Sportsplex Stamford that I feel others should be aware…read moreof. My wife recently attempted to get out of her car in the parking lot and found it extremely slippery--unsafe to the point where she had to move her car to another area. Unfortunately, the conditions were just as bad throughout the lot. This is a basic safety issue that should not be overlooked. I reported the concern, expecting it would be taken seriously. Instead, her membership was canceled. While it was later reinstated, the initial response was surprising and, frankly, concerning. I then went to the facility to raise the issue directly with management. I approached the situation calmly, simply trying to point out that unsafe conditions in a parking lot could lead to someone getting hurt. The response I received was repeatedly being told to "get out," with no attempt to acknowledge or address the concern. At that point, it became clear that member safety and basic professionalism were not being handled the way they should be. I am no longer a member. I hope the business takes steps to address the parking lot conditions and improves how it responds to legitimate concerns in the future.

Koko FitClub in Darien is by far the BEST fitness club around. In my 8 years of living in…read moreFairfield County, I've belonged to the expensive gym in Noroton Heights, two $10/month gyms in Norwalk, and the community-based center in Darien. None of these 4 options offered me the motivation or structure to keep my commitment for more than 2 months at a time. I've been an active Koko member - going 3-4 times per week -- for a year and it's changed my life. I've not only dropped 25+ pounds but I ran my first half-marathon in May. Strength training programs are individualized for you, and each machine will lead you through your customized workout. It IS like having your own personal trainer, but automated, which is even better! There are also 15 minute cardio programs (on both the treadmill and elliptical) that are both quick to do yet intense enough to give you a complete workout. And, for those of you who are driven by data, each member can log on and access their workout history, track their strength gain, eBMI, and lean muscle mass progress. Koko even offers nutritional planning and menu options, based on your individual profile. Oh, and the place is immaculate, the staff is supportive and friendly, as are the other members. If you're looking for a new fitness club that will keep you engaged while also fitting into your busy lifestyle (did I mention that I'm a full-time working mom of 2 little boys?!?), you should definitely head into Koko and check it out.

I do have a friend who is a regular at this location and it does not bother her, but it was so distracting for me that I could not continue here. It literally smells like an old toilet. The training is excellent, but the staff is very sales driven and aggressive, and when I pointed out the smell they acted like I had two heads and deflected that something was wrong with me - very unprofessional. The good news is that there are many other options in the area, OH and they are using the Westport name but not technically in Westport.

The classes are taught by expert instructors who love what they do and are great motivators. It was my first time taking a Barre, Pilates, Yoga and Zumba class. It was easy to follow the instructors. I learned as you continue taking the classes you develop a stronger core and are able to work out more effectively. Lifetime gym is immaculate with a variety of amenities including a Sauna, Eucalyptus Steam Room and an outdoor Pool. They have classes for everyone including active older adults (seniors). The membership is not cheap but it's worth every penny. A great investment for a healthy lifestyle.

If you go upstairs, you'll find the spacious workout area and outdoor pool. The outdoor pool is open to residents all of the time, and it's open to members during the week. I love it here! I'll definitely be back again soon. What a great work out space!

Wendi and Brian are true pros and good people! Everyone who works there is excellent. I worked out with Will who with the exception of being a Chicago Bears fan (poor Will...then again, Im a Giants fan so I will skip Super Bowl) is a great guy and trainer. Every workout is different and tailored to the individual so you will not get bored. The studio and equipment are very nice. If you have injuries to work around, Inspire will take notice and will reach out on your behalf to coordinate with other health care professionals/physical therapists. Location is easily accessible right off Merritt Parkway, Exit 34. Your first session usually involves Brian or Wendi performing an assessment on you to show where you may have imbalances on either side of your body etc...you can buy packages of workouts which are priced fairly vs competition.

I was a member of Kong for nearly four years. I made large gains through trusting Chris' process…read more Progress is tracked in Wodify. I left the gym due to a move out of the area. After trying out several other Crossfit boxes, I realized what separates Kong from others. Typically, there is a dynamic warmup, a strength portion with a dedicated exercise and a Metcon. Only when I went to other gyms did I realize this isn't the format used everywhere. Other boxes may only focus on the Metcon. Some do not have an app that records your progress and you have to track it on your own. Both the daily format and progress measuring are items that set Kong apart. Next is the coaching and community. Once you settle in on a class, you'll frequently train with the same group of people, both competing against and rooting for each other as you grind through a long Metcon. There are usually community events as well. I would still be a member at Kong but for moving further away. The price is reasonable, less than other boxes in the area. More importantly, you get out what you put in. Eat clean, show up 4-5 times per week and the results will follow. Coaches are excellent. Meline gets everyone going when you're still rubbing sleep out of your eyes at 6 am. There are a couple shower stalls here. The gym isn't chock full of amenities, but that's what you get with Crossfit. It's results-based, hard, sweaty, and not pretty. Yet once you're sucked in, it's hard to leave. I highly recommend Kong. Crossfit is a punchline at times since it's a bit cultish. However, I drank the Kool Aid and can't imagine just going solo to a big box gym anymore. Two (callused) thumbs way up for Kong Crossfit!

Where can I begin with Kong Crossfit?…read more I'll start off by saying that Chris and his staff are top notch. They give you the support you need, and make you feel comfortable throughout the entire workout! Being a gym owner myself, its extremely hard to impress me. I'm very picky about cleanliness, friendliness of the staff and the environment itself. Kong Crossfit delivers in every aspect above! Not only are the trainers amazing, but the workouts are FUN. You really don't feel like you're working out when you go in. Its just a ton of fun, and awesome results. You really can't ask for much more than that! If you're in the norwalk area, you'd be crazy not to check this place out!!
