Service is friendly and the facilities are decent. Membership feels like it's a rigged game where they're constantly pushing you to join something new, add a new service, or jump through some extra hoop to make an extra buck.

Ond of the members physically threatened me during a conflict and they just brushed it off. On top of that it felt like other male members were singling me out to constantly ask how many more sets I had or if I was done etc. Maybe I didnt look like a gym regular/didnt fit in. Pretty intrusive and unwelcoming.

I have given this a gym a 3 star rating because as a member for 8+ years, the amount of space dedicated to weight lifting shrank by roughly 30%. Personal training and thrive has been the focus the past few years.This makes the gym a lot more crowded during peak morning and afternoon hours which can make it a time waster when you have to wait for machines.Other than that, the gym is clean and most of the staff is friendly, depends on the day though.

Always clean with great friendly staff. I've been going for almost two weeks now and all the equipment I have used had been working fine. Their open workout area is a great touch to a normal weight lifting gym. Overall this place is great.

True story: I love this gym so much that when I was looking for a new apartment, my main requirement was to be walking distance from City Fitness!It's such a great gym. It really feels like family. It's one of the rare gyms that everyone actually says hello to each other. They have something for everyone no matter what your level or preference is. Great Thrive program and awesome classes! I go to Rich's boot camps religiously. You can also get amazing workouts from from Brian D. and Alfonzo's boot camps. Intense cardio from Carl and Angela's spin. This gym really has something for everyone! Oh, and you can get a post-workout recovery smoothie after the work out from Angie! Shout out to JP and Joyce too. Love them :)

All of the equipment is brand spanking new. I have a membership to the facility on Spring Garden St. I signed up because I live close. Prior to sign up I heard more horror stories than good ones. I decided to see for myself because I don't really care about a lot of stuff people were talking about. I just want to work out when I have the time or when I'm up to it and I don't want a place that's packed or full of bodybuilders doing a competition with themselves in the mirror. The people are cool, haven't had any negative experiences. I will say this though, I had to deduct a star due to limited parking (mainly during peak times) and another for the price. I pay $70/mo and I paid $50 to sign up which was a deal!! 3 months later I paid a $40/fee that's charged annually. I'll give this gym another 3 months before I start looking for cheaper options. I still have my Planet Fitness membership as well so I find myself going there more often than not because I just need the treadmill or bike for 30-45mins.I'm almost certain City Fitness and Planet Fitness is the same exact company!!!

Started their free 7 day trial a few days ago. The price point for a monthly membership is a bit steep, but perhaps I'm just used to the other "no frills" gyms - and frankly, that's all I needed here too. …
