Merritt Clubs Canton

Great club, and with the money. They have something for every member of the family. Plenty of classes for adults, swim lessons for children, and Summer Camp for the kiddos.The rooftop pool is a lot of fun! The menu has something for everyone, and the food (and drinks) are delicious! The staff is professional & efficient.

Before Covid it was a great gym with lots of amenities. A bit pricy but worth it in my opinion. Free parking and free coffee are great perks. I was a bit disappointed with the mask optional policy when working out hard but they eventually went to a mask all the time policy. Still missing some of the premium features before Covid like towel service and the coffee bar. The members are all great. The kids club area is small but our kids used to enjoy going. Rooftop pool and bar is a great place to hang out and let the kids play during the summer.

Great gym with a large selection of equipment and availability is not usually a problem. I would give a better rating but as a member paying full price without 24 hour access I can't. I've been a member since April 2020. I've never had 24 hour access and that was a primary reason I joined this gym. I understand COVID threw a wrench into a lot of businesses practices but the cut in hours hurts a lot. I need that flexibility due to my work schedule so not having it is unfortunate.The gym is nice, clean, and the staff are great!The other complaint I have is I could really do without Fox News on the televisions. Having to watch garbage hate-filled opinions while I workout is not desirable.

I first joined Merritt when my small, local gym closed. I was uncertain as I'd loved the personal feel of being a part of a smaller gym and the friendships I'd made while I was there. The Canton location felt so large to me at the time in comparison. I now feel silly for being so uncertain about things...the classes and instructors at Merritt are top notch...they made a big gym feel more welcoming, and the options that exist are amazing. I'm a big fan of Body Attack and Body Combat, but also love the variety and quantity of machines there for when I can't make a class. Rarely have I ever had to wait for anything.Throughout the course of the pandemic, I've been super-impressed with the communication from the club, the dedication to keeping the space clean and safe for members, and the thoughtful attention that's been paid to reintroducing 'normalcy' to the classes and space as well. Add in both an indoor pool for lap swimming year round, and the best outdoor pool in the city, and I don't think you'll find a better bang for your buck fitness option in Canton. Thank you Merritt staff for all you do!

I went to Merritt to enquire about their membership.Pros-1) The facility is huge and almost never ending.2) Intermittently they run offers such as waiving off their one time joining fee.3) Equipments are sophisticated and new.4) Their monthly membership fees is in par with other private fitness centers in the area.5) The staff is friendly and not at all pushy.Cons-1) It is very crowded and therefore overwhelming. So many people, so many equipments and the noise makes the environment feel like a combat training zone.2) There is just one indoor heated lap swimming pool. The rooftop pools are open from May-Sept.3) Mandatory lock in period of 12 months, which means that you have to commit to pay for 12 months membership. If you cancel before that you will have to pay 50 percent of the fees of the remainder months.4) Coaching fees are not included in the membership fees. For example- if you want to learn yoga or swimming, you will have to pay extra fees over and above your membership fees. So, beware of this one.7) Since their membership fees include all types of fitness options, you do not have the option to pick and chose the ones that you are interested in. Which I think is such a waste of money. For example- I want to join their gym. I don’t know to swim, yet I have to pay for using the pool as well.I wouldn’t join here because it’s over crowded and there is no pick and choose option.

It’s true that it’s pricey. But this is THE gym to be at. As with all things in life, your gym experience will be what you make of it. If you put in the effort- you’ll get the results.Speaking of results- the trainers at Merritt are pretty awesome. I’ve been working with mine for a couple of months and it’s really changed my gym experience and honestly my life. If you’re looking to build a fitness foundation and want support- look no further. Ask to train with Devin. You won’t regret it , except during cardio.

So clean, well designed, and fun. I have never enjoyed going to the gym more. The classes are fantastic and make fitness the thing you look forward to in your day. 100% worth joining.

This gym is over the top! I love their rooftop pool the most, but the gym is clean and spacious. The staff have always been very friendly. The rooftop pool offers a bar and light menu. The family pool has water slides for children. The adult pool is a hot spot for the canton area. I think the gym membership on its own is expensive, but adding access to all of the outdoor pools makes the cost justified in my opinion.

I was a member here for 1 year; and would have stayed; but my work location changed.This is a great Gym. Very clean, excellent equipment, great classes. The Towel Service/Layout is also very convenient. Parking is also super easy.Compared to most gyms in the area, you do pay more....but you do get a lot more for it.I used this for the pool, classes, free weights, and lifting areas (no personal training/no cardio machines) and can honestly say that I never had any issues with equipment, cleanliness, etc.My only complaints were that sometimes the classes got very busy; but I can understand that there is a reason why demand is so high (They are great classes). Free weight access was also busy during peak hours....but with access to the pool; I was able to switch days/classes/etc. to get a schedule that worked well.

The place does have a good amount equipment but it’s overpriced. They should have an option for just using certain areas of the gym, not everyone wants to use the pools so why pay for it? I know it’s meant to cover the rent of the building but it turns people off from coming because they don’t have a choice in the matter. It’s very overpriced at $79 per month for 12 months and they usually have extra hidden fees on top. For one month it’s $99 but they load it with fee so you’re actually paying $295.64. Keep in mind I have to get the gold package due to the one near me only working under that or the platinum package because another thing being forced on others for no reason. Most people just want to use the gym near home or work so why do we have to pay for 5 other locations at the same time only contributing towards a higher cost for the consumer. With it being $948 a year without the fees being added on it makes more sense to buy the equipment, you can have a personal gym in a year or year and a half with that money.UPDATE: Response to owner. An enrollment fee is a hidden fee. I put in there if someone pays for one month it’s advertised as $99 but when you actually go to buy it it all of a sudden becomes $295.64. Where is the extra cost going? I understand all that is included, I don’t think you read what I wrote because I stated that’s a problem where not everyone wants to use everything but they still have to pay for it.
