Victory Sports is great for people of all training levels; they specialize in geriatric and high…read moreschool training, but it's also a surprisingly comfortable place for the average gym-goer (like me lol) At first I was intimidated by the fact that they requested a one-on-one meeting after signing up for a membership, but it turns out that it was hugely helpful - the co-owner (unfortunately can't remember her name) went into detail about the equipment offered, opportunity for trying new group classes, and also having a personal assessment to better gauge your needs and desires and allowing you personal training (if you want it!) The facility offers a good variety of equipment - the right side is the "grunter side" with lifting equipment and a green turf area for athletic training. The right side is geared towards cardio and machine weight training, with ample space for stretching and free weights as well. There are locker (and shower!) facilities for men and women, and each time I've been, I've been impressed by how clean it is and how often I see someone cleaning or checking up. Overall, a very friendly facility that is as personal as you want/need it to be, with great staff, amenities, and equipment. Highly recommend you at least come in to check it out if you're looking for a gym in the area!

I've tried a few gyms in town and this is by far the best one around! From having top notch…read moreequipment, to a great staff. Everyone is focused on improving themselves and being motivational and kind towards others. I've been working out with Scott Everhart now for almost a year and he is by far the best thing i could have done to physically improve myself! Great trainer who always is willing to go the extra mile for his clients! He wanrted to see first hand what goes into the sport i do to help train me better. So, instead of researching it on the computer he hopped in the truck with us one weekend and spent an entire day (6am-8pm) with my dad and I in New York! If thats not dedication, I don't know what is! I would highly recommend going in and asking for Scott to help you with whatever your goals are physically! He will help you reach and surpass them!!

I signed up right before covid hit and despite everything being closed down for a few weeks/months- I was able to get back in quickly to resume my training. The owners and staff are very friendly and encouraging also they are very knowledgeable about the industry and can answer questions that you have. I like that it is a 24 hour facility with key fob access which allows me to train around my busy schedule in (healthcare). Jess, Toya and Shane are wonderful to work with as far as training and they even offer group classes in and outdoors!!! Since joining I've lost and maintained 50lbs ...I highly recommend this gym facility.

They even sicced a collection agency on me for money I had no idea I "owed." All for a gym that is so far away from where I now live that it takes two days to drive there! When I called to bring the issue up the owner smugly announced that they would not refund the money, and that "other people have tried" to get their money back without success. They have a terrible business model built on theft and getting people to pay for a service they don't use.

Let me start my saying that the only shape I'm in is round(ish) - if that qualifies as a shape. I'm…read moreaiming to change that. I've enjoyed perusing far too many beer and food establishments, and while I'm not huge I'd get a "runners high" going up a flight of stairs or hoping on my bicycle and going around the block. So, does this make me qualified to know what a five star gym is? Not necessarily. But I do know what five-star people are, and the owner Bryan and crew at CrossFit Nittany hit that mark. I've tried going to a standard gym before, but the lack of structure and non-interaction with a coach made it really easy to just piss around and not be serious. Not with CrossFit. The "workout-of the-day" (WOD) is written when you walk in. You know what you're doing, and you're held accountable for it. Does that mean Bryan is sitting there with a whip if you can't handle it? Absolutely not. He and his staff evaluate where you are in your fitness, and will modify the program to incorporate its core elements without overburdening you. You'll work hard, but it won't kill you. That would be bad for business. Bryan's been at this for a long time, and it shows. He even has a lot of certificates on his wall from legit sounding places saying he knows what he's doing. If you've never been in a CrossFit facility before, be prepared for the following: -- no machines -- no tanning beds -- no BS (if you need that translated, you're too young to CrossFit) Tomorrow will be my fifth or sixth class. My first two group classes were not with the beginners group due to scheduling, but no one looked down on me for not knowing what exactly was happening. I ask a lot of stupid questions - sometimes twice - and everyone's been incredibly patient as I've tried to get my bearings. It's this synergy that makes this facility as good as it is. Lastly, I've been "preaching" about the accommodating nature of this place as a newb. But make no mistake there are many **very** serious athletes here. If you're coming in with a wealth of CrossFit experience you shouldn't feel out of place unless you stumble into the newb class. And even then, all us newbs would simply gawk slack-jawed while you either rope climb one fingered or rip off 100 lateral burpees without breaking a sweat.

They just finished redoing the locker rooms, new everything as far as I can tell. The Therapy pool is a balmy 90F, which is great for a recent Miami transplant, and the lap pool is a not too shabby 80F.

The only thing lacking is a nice, separate free weights room, but that really isn't important to me. Oh, and did I mention that it has a rock climbing wall? Not too shabby!
