I have been coming here since 2012, and this is the best gym around for every reason. I have lived…read morein multiple towns, tried other gyms for the convenience of them being closer but always kept my membership here because I love this gym. The staff is always helpful and friendly. The place remains clean, I can always get on the machines I need, the cardio equipment is accessible no matter what time you go, members are courteous, the layout is great and they've also recently redone the bathrooms which makes the place look really nice. Tanning & a smoothie bar is also offered which is a plus. 10/10 would recommend this gym to anyone looking for the best gym around.

### THINK TWICE BEFORE JOINING BIG SKY FARMINGTON…read more **Potential members--please read this before signing a membership agreement with Big Sky Farmington.** My daughter joined Big Sky Farmington **while she was still a minor and in high school**. A few months later, she needed to cancel because she is going away to college out of state. When she contacted the gym to cancel, instead of making the process straightforward, we were told there was a **one-year contract** and that she needed to jump through a series of hoops to prove that she was moving. That raises a very basic question: **How does Big Sky believe it can enforce a one-year contractual obligation against someone who was a minor when the membership agreement was entered into?** I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not going to make a definitive legal conclusion about the enforceability of the contract. But the fact that **the member was a minor when the agreement was entered into** is a significant issue that I believe deserves an answer--not simply a reference to the fine print. And the cancellation experience gets even more concerning. We provided documentation showing that she has been admitted to college out of state. Apparently, that isn't enough. Under Big Sky's stated "moving" cancellation policy, they are demanding things such as a new lease, utility bill, driver's license, pay stub, insurance document, bank statement, credit-card statement, etc. For students, they specifically demand **both a class schedule AND a tuition receipt**. They also say they require **25 days' written notice** and that payments will continue until they receive what they consider "sufficient proof" of the move. Meanwhile, Connecticut has just strengthened its consumer protections around cancellation of automatically renewing memberships. **As of July 1, 2026, Connecticut law requires covered businesses to provide an easy way to cancel, prohibits requiring consumers to cancel in person or by mail, and requires businesses to promptly process cancellation requests without obstructing or delaying them.** Businesses that fail to comply may be subject to investigation for unfair trade practices. ([CT.gov][1]) Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection has also specifically warned consumers about health-club cancellation problems and says that when a member cancels, the health club must provide written confirmation of the cancellation and its effective date within 10 days. ([CT.gov][2]) So here is my question to Big Sky: **Why is a former high-school student, who was a minor when this membership was entered into and who is now leaving Connecticut for college, being subjected to this level of resistance simply to cancel a gym membership?** This isn't about trying to get something for free. It's about **basic fairness and transparency**. If you are considering joining Big Sky Farmington, my advice is simple: **READ EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU SIGN.** Ask specifically: * Is there a one-year commitment? * What happens if you leave the state for college? * Exactly what documentation will you need to cancel? * How do you submit a cancellation request? * When does billing actually stop? * What happens if the person signing the agreement is under 18? And if you're signing up a teenager, **pay particular attention to who is actually entering into the contract and what authority the gym believes it has to enforce that contract.** A gym membership shouldn't require a consumer to become an expert in contract law just to leave. **My experience has made me seriously question whether Big Sky Farmington is the right place for families, students, or anyone who values straightforward cancellation policies and customer service.** Potential members: **do your homework before handing over your payment information.** [1]: https://portal.ct.gov/ag/press-releases/2026-press-releases/at

Definitely not the case, plus they were always on top of repairs. Probably one of the best gyms in the state, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do

And over the last year I have been beyond pleased with not only the challenge programs Rebel offers, the workouts themselves, the friends I've made, but most of all the coaches. They push you, help you and make it a fun place to be. The results I've seen, not only on myself but on other members speaks volumes. If you're someone who wants to challenge themselves - improve your strength and endurance in the process, well then Rebel is for you. It will be the best hour you spend on yourself, so come try it!

What's great about Rebel is that no matter how fit you are, there is always a way to challenge yourself. The gym also quickly pivoted to offering Zoom classes at the beginning of the pandemic and continues tp offer one live Zoom every day along with sending out a recording. All of the equipment gets cleaned after each class and members have their own "square" to stay distanced during class. Another great aspect of the gym is that you get to know people on a personal level which makes coming to class something to look forward to.

I've been going here for most of the last two years, and have been debating doing a review because…read moreI want to call it 3 stars, but because it's my gym I was feeling like I should bump it up to 4. But, that's not fair. There are cheaper gyms out there, that are half price or less just for a membership to walk in the door. And they have a more updated facility with more fans and better AC. Sooooo, I go here for the classes, because accountability helps me show up. But it's hot and dated and it's frustrating. It's especially frustrating because I've been to the Glastonbury location that looks newer and more up to date, AND I just learned they are getting a renovation!!!! Perhaps if this place didn't look so dated, more folks would want to join. But, location, location, location. There was a fabulous coach I started with almost two years ago that I loved and really knew his stuff and talked us through accountability with eating and which muscle groups we were working on in each class, and the correct form to do each exercise. He got me hooked. He is the reason I joined and now the location is just so convenient that I've stayed. But they need to make some changes to be as good as they can be and to get more folks in there. Especially now that there's a new stoplight right there to get in and out to and from the Berlin Turnpike rather than making a u-turn like I've been doing for years. I hope someone reads this listens, before I go elsewhere once my one year plan is up.
