Mei Fitness - Southport

My wife and I went to see about their membership. No one was at the desk so we rang the bell, we waited 10 miba for the girl to come and she said the Belk didn't ring. We heard the bell ring when we pushed it, she pushed it and it also rang. The no longer have a kids area so this is not a gym for parents that don't have a places to drop their kids off while they work out

Being new to the area it was a little challenging trying to find a gym that really fit my needs.Even though I live downtown the pricing and amenities offered by MEI are really just too good to pass up.I have been a member since I moved to Indy and I have to say it really has one of the best gym environments I have experienced over the last 8 years.The weights have a great range from starting weights to extremely heavy (about 120, maybe 150), cardio equipment is pretty standard for a gym, nothing spectacular but good enough with some treadmills and stair steppers as well as some other machines.All of the weight machines are relatively new and great for new or advanced weight lifters.Overall this is a great gym to be a member of, and even worth the 15 - 20 minute drive from the circle downtown if that is where you live.

I had an extremely unprofessional encounter with the owner and an employee. I was told to put a shirt on at while working out (which in fine misunderstandings happen) but the worker was clearly having some type of roid rage because he was 100% trying to stair me down. I asked if I could see this rule written down and he further continued the attitude in saying that “I’m gonna call the owner and he’s gonna terminate your membership”. Overall a completely unprofessional and unnecessary way to talk to a member. That employee should have been told to talk to members with respect but unfortunately the owner sees his average gym as a “private member club” when in reality it’s one step ahead of an anytime fitness. Overall I wouldn’t recommend just for unprofessionalism and disrespect of the owners and employees. Nobody should be threatened with there membership being terminated over wanted to see a rule written down.

Yes this gym is on the pricey side … but here’s why I think it’s worth it.1. People here get to work. This is not VASA or Planet Fitness where you have people sitting on their phones at the machines showing off. You can lift and workout however you want.2. It’s rarely ever busy. Best part. I feel I always have the gym to myself. When I was at Planet Fitness and VASA… there was never room to sit in the sauna, never a machine available, people texting their boo thing and having convos at the machines when others want to work out, free food to promote judgement free zone, and not even an available locker. Yes I would even see people eating snacks on planet fitness machines.I come in here and get my workout done efficiently everyday.3. Small gym feels like a family. Not always trying to sell you stuff. You feel like you’re part of a club where everyone is determined to get better and motivates you. Everyone here knows how to workout and you can see results.4. Legitimately open 24/7 anytime any day with your card

I edited this review, because there were some changes made recently. Gave it another star.Been a member for three years, and I love this gym.You rarely have to wait for a machine.I do have a few small gripes. For instance... Used to have a tanning bed… it broke and it’s been 18 months. No replacement. Talked to owner. Stonewalled. They replaced for the women, not the men. Guess we guys don’t need our Vitamin D replenished during the long winter.Members often compliment the fact that equipment gets circulated out… but that’s actually an issue if the removed machine is replaced with something of lesser quality. Perfect example is the leg press machine on the middle row of machines … the replacement is inferior.Positives… this place is always super clean. Lots of niche machines that you can’t find at nearby VASA fitness. Sauna is super hot… most clubs don’t heat their sauna enough to be effective.Thanks to the staff and team.

Briel was so helpful in explaining the entire process and showing me all around the gym. I love the gym and the atmosphere. Looking forward to working out here! I would definitely recommend Mei Fitness. Best place and people in Southport.

Mei fitness is a wonderful gym. My boyfriend and I go everyday and we are always greeted by friendly staff! At this gym, people go HARD but it’s so inspirational. No one at this gym has ever made me feel like I shouldn’t be there.They keep the gym very clean, there is a tanning bed in the woman’s restroom that can be used during staffed hours and there is a sauna that is available to everyone! Go get fit!

Honestly would not go if you’re serious. Owner has been rude on both encounters with him. They don’t allow chalk, but for some reason offer several different bars to use. Powerlifters or anyone competing in powerlifting, this is definitely not for you. The next step up from ymca and doesn’t offer day passes. Definitely needs improvement

Best gym in terms of having plenty of equipment and overall experience. No commitment on your agreement is the best when most other gyms lock you in for a year or two or charge outrageous prices for a no commitment agreement

I work at the salon next store, my car had a flat tire and a man at the front desk came to help me change out the tire. I am so incredibly grateful and am so impressed by the customer service and friendly staff. I just moved here from Texas so it is very nice to see/receive such kindness. I feel terrible for not remembering your name but thank you so very much for your help today!
