The good: Great workout but will only be Doc for the first workout…read more The bad: Doc knew I was not a member at Body Dynamics. We agreed he would cover it for the 3 months that I paid him for in advance. 1 month in I was approached by owner of gym and given the hard sell to join gym stating Doc only covered first month.. all the while Doc stood other side of counter while I was ambushed. Gym pricing is whatever he feels like charging at the moment. Nothing written anywhere. Told Doc no thanks. Doc said he would do the right thing and refund my last 2 months. Never did. On a side note after confronted Doc did offer to cover next 2 months but trust was gone. End of the day all anyone has is their word.

They have the options for personal training, IsoPhit (which is intense and great), plus virtual participation in classes. Can't speak highly enough of this place. Definitely a hidden gem among all the other bigger outfits. Worth checking out if you're looking to improve conditioning and strength in a friendly environment.

Started researching good MMA places in the area recently for my husband. He and I used to go to…read moreChampions for Cardio kickboxing and muy thai. It got to be too expensive so we had to pass it up. I had found Mission MMA through a google search and I guess I had signed up for their email list. On 4th of July they emailed me that all their three class pass were half off-- at $9.99 that is really a steal. I entered some incorrect info when paying which led to me not getting an email. I facebooked them and they answered the next (since it was a holiday). They were really nice, courteous, and helpful. They even called my husband the next day and went over everything with him. Excited to start going here!

"Woohoo! As good as it gets!" ~ Yelp's 5-Star Rating…read more I think it speaks volumes that this place has a 5-star rating for all its reviews. I bought a 10-class groupon because the gym is close to my work, and I am so happy I did. I had tried kickboxing at other places, but this is 100x better than other classes I had tried. Rob is the instructor for cardio kickboxing and he is always super positive AND easy on the eyes! He really motivates you to work hard and get a good workout, even when I'm tired and really would rather be home. I really like that you actually learn the mechanics of kickboxing in a cardio class, other classes I've been to teach no footwork or how to punch/kick. I feel like I could be an MMA fighter now, after only a few classes - that may be a pipe dream, but I'm still really enjoying myself. This is my first Yelp review, but I think it's a worthy cause to get the word out about this establishment.

I enrolled in WC Fitness on 3/1/22, I had a month to kill and I specifically wanted to lose weight…read more My weight was 200lbs at the time. By 3/31/22 i I was down to 196, gained 1lbs of muscle mass, lowered BMI. I was very happy with those results but even more important, my blood pressure has lowered to normal. Very happy with my experience at WC Fitness. My trainer (Morgan) was excellent and encouraged me to go beyond the boundaries I had placed on myself. The whole atmosphere is one of encouragement. Jordan and Walter were outstanding and Tony was an inspiration for her dedication. WC Fitness also provides dietary planning based on your objectives that is an invaluable part of the holistic approach I received. If you're serious, this is the Gold Standard.

I went to a HOTWORX in another state, when I was visiting some family. It was such a great workout…read moreand I swear I have never slept better in my life than the night I did Hot Yoga in the evening. So I saw that northeast Philly was getting one, and I decided to sign up for their pre-sale. Had to wait over 6 months for the gym to finally open, but it's open! First- the gym itself is great. The managers and franchisee are very nice, present, and responsive. This is a big deal! The gym is small, each sauna that you do the classes in is only big enough to hold 3 people, but usually you're flying solo. There's an app to reserve your slot for every class, so you can choose to book a room to yourself, or see someone else is registered and choose to sweat it out with them. Classes are split into HIIT cardio classes that run every 15 minutes on a video loop inside the saunas, and hot isometric classes which are 40 min in length. I love the classes so far. I know it can be repetitive having the same virtual instructor run the exact same class with the exact same script, day after day, but I find it actually a little rewarding, as I get better and able to push harder, the lines I remember from the class seem to make the class feel shorter. "Oh we're already at that point? Almost done!" Now for the bad....the APP IS TERRIBLE. And getting as much psychological reward out of this program relies VERY HEAVILY on the app. If you have a Fitbit instead of an Apple Watch, you can just forget having accurate calories counted, half the time (especially if you take a 2nd class in one visit) it won't even let you record your calories, and "afterburn" is supposed to be tracked for the 60 min after you finish your workout. If you forget to tap "record your calories" right at the 60 min mark, forget it! It records zero calories. So, do I need to buy a $300-600 watch to enjoy accurate app performance? Maybe. But that's nuts. The UX of the app is also some of the worst I have ever seen. None of this reflects on the location of this gym, or the gym itself, so I'm not taking any stars off on the review. I left an App Store review for that. The biggest drawback to the app being a POS, other than not getting the full experience the concept promises, is you can't compete on the leaderboard if your sessions aren't logged correctly, and there's no way to manually add them or fix it. Each gym, and the entire franchise, has a leaderboard and there's supposed to be rewards or prizes for ranking highly, so it's a bit of a let down to know that no matter how often or how hard I show up, I'm not on the leaderboard accurately, and I'm never going to "win" even the mental prize of seeing my name towards the top for our location. :( I'm actually a competitive person, but the app's shortcomings don't allow one to tap into that....which could result in falling off in going altogether, and then canceling your membership. Anyway, I love this gym, despite the app sucking. I feel incredibly energized and CREATIVE after my Hotworx sessions. I'm a graphic designer by trade, so this is SO valuable to me. Maybe I will reward myself with an Apple Watch one of these days. But for now, I know I feel great, and my Fitbit app is still tracking what it is supposed to, just not always sending it to the Hotworx app like it's supposed to.

It was a little pricey for a college student (Drexel) who works two part time jobs to pay for books and tuition not paid for by my scholarship. But sadly, at this moment in time - i had to find another crossfit gym to teach me the basics for cheap and then i will come back and get an awesome workout for a month there! I am sooooo excited i get to go back! I was so bummed when i couldn't get my parents to pay partial for it. but hopefully when I'm out of school I can come back to this gym because there is something about the gym that makes you want to work harder-and push yourself to the extreme. Eugene was the best! Loved the workout! Hated how sore i was the next day.....but it felt awesome!!!! if you can go to this crossfit dont pass up the chance! its an amazing gym!

I signed up for the CrossFit onramp process a few weeks back because I wanted to learn Olympic…read morelifting. I already worked out 4-5 times per week and would do a mix of cardio, circuits, and lifts at my gym - more basic ones like the bench, deadlift, and squat. I was a bit worried, therefore, that the onramp classes (6 in total) would be too slow. But that ended up being a non issue. I did my first onramp class with Paco. We jumped around a lot and he mostly watched my form and showed me any movements I wasn't familiar with. Even though we did more basic movements, It was really helpful because I'd never had anyone closely assess my form. He not only helped me make small adjustments, but also explained why that form made sense (which I appreciated!) We ended the first session with an AMRAP, which could be made harder/easier depending on the weight and how you scaled/didn't scale certain movements. I really like this aspect of CrossFit - it's never going to be too easy because you can always make it harder - or easier, if the suggested weights/movements aren't in reach yet. Goose did my second on ramp session and it was similar to my first in terms of checking out my form and offering feedback. Goose is really knowledgeable and a great coach, and I felt his feedback was really valuable. He also ok'd me speeding up the process, and on my third and fourth sessions we went over Olympic lifts. After four sessions I was able to jump into regular classes. I was a little worried about jumping in like this because I hadn't had much practice with olympic lifts, but Goose kept a close eye on me and offered a lot of quick fixes and suggestions for weights to start with. The classes were challenging and well structured, and I had a really great time throughout. If I weren't moving in another month I'd have absolutely signed up as a monthly member.
