Sauna, steam and showers were never clean, even after reporting it. They offer easy cancellation but the use a third party biller that is an excuse to charge an extra month. It was not easy to cancel and made it very difficult.

I have been going to FWF Gym for about two years. The employees are incredibly welcoming and friendly, and the facility is well kept. They have an area of the gym designated for women only (during certain times of the week), and offer a good variety of group fitness classes, which I appreciate. I was attending a group fitness class, taught by Rich Ontiveros, who is an excellent instructor. However, I was not going to the gym regularly outside of this, and when I did, I was not getting the most out of my workouts. I needed some help to get in shape for my upcoming wedding. I was hesitant to use a personal trainer, as I am generally a shy person, but went for it as Rich is also a personal trainer at FWF. Needless to say, I am extremely happy that I did. Rich took the time to get to know my fitness goals and me as a person. He has customized our workout plan to target my priority areas, make consistent progress, and meet my goals. There is a lot of variety in our workouts, which I really like. He also takes time to teach me about our workouts, so I may use them on my own as well and be even more successful. He is extremely friendly and patient, organized and professional, and both flexible and accommodating with scheduling. Besides working out, he also shares diet plans to help me meet my fitness goals. Since I started working with Rich several months ago, I have seen great progress in my form and strength, and my overall positively about my health. I have come to enjoy working out more, as I understand it better and have greater self-confidence doing it. I have a hectic job, but Rich has helped transform me in getting on a regular workout routine that produces results. I know that Rich has a lot of experience as a personal trainer, and this is evident in our sessions together. It is refreshing to work with someone who truly cares about helping me succeed and is so motivating. I have had zero issues working with him. He is top-notch, and I highly recommend him as well as FWF!

I have been a member at FWF for two years. Richard is my trainer. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. I fully committed to our sessions, nutrition plan and regimen. I have experienced top notch results! I’ve lost over 15lbs and 7% body fat in just 90 days!! Richard was crucial and vital to my success after working out on my own for years and not producing these results. He is a respected trainer with many years experience and he takes the time to get to know his clients and their specific needs. Worth EVERY dollar spent! If you have a negative opinion of your trainer simply based on your results, you might want to consider how hard you worked towards your goals?? Don’t blame the trainer 🤫You CANNOT expect to see results if you don’t put in the work. Richard is top notch and the team at FWF - trainers, instructors, staff and the manager are all great people. Love my gym and my trainer 👏🏽💪🏽

This review is from my mom, CoAnn Weil, who is a client of Richard's. Rich has been my trainer for approximately 3 months. I'd never had a trainer before and was hesitant to get one. When I saw Rich train other people at the gym, I saw how patient and kind he was especially with some of the older members. That made me want to work with him, too. And in just three months, it's already been rewarding. Not only is he patient and kind, he's also organized, professional and timely with appointments. I've already seen results and am excited to continue working with him.

Rich O. Has trained my son for over 2 years and he has trained me for over almost a year. I was so impressed with his attitude, dedication and personalization of service that my daughter now trains with him as well. He has been very understanding and flexible to work with and truly cares about his clients! My son and myself have seen great results and I anticipate the same with my daughter. I highly recommend not only Rich, but Fort Washington Fitness as well. I only started at FWF because of Rich, but I have been very happy with the facilities, staff and equipment! All top notch!

I've been a member at Fort Washington Fitness for almost 5 years. I love being able to go in and find an open machine pretty quickly. I also like having a locker I can keep overnight if needed. Richard (Live Rich Fitness) has been my trainer for 3 months. He's a solid trainer. I'm down 30 lbs and doing great. We track my progress and tweak it where needed. I'm very motivated that Richard is so involved in my progress and gives me a lot of encouragement when I need it. I've been traveling a lot lately and will send Richard a picture of the gym at the hotel I'm stay at and the equipment there. He'll quickly send me back a workout I can use with the equipment available to me at the Hotel. That's great service!!
