Best gym in Downtown/Little Italy by far. The cleanliness, professionalism of staff, and available equipment was top notch. Even though this is a gym loved by man locals, as evident in the morning crew members, this gym was perfect for an out-of-towner like myself. Special ahoutout to Bella, Fit Athletic Club & Gyms #1 employee in my book! Not only was she knowledgeable, her professionalism far exceeded expectations. Easy 5 star experience the past 2 days coming to this location. Looking forward to returning real soon.

Awesome gym, super clean and the equipment is new and well kept. People are polite and are just there to workout. They offer great trainers if you need one. And they have multiple classes if tjat is your thing. Gym uses the hotel pool. Monthly membership is around 120. Great gym, highly recommend.

Since their opening in January 2020, I've joined Fit Little Italy on two (2) occasions (decided to cancel during the second COVID shutdown), so I'd consider myself to be knowledgeable about the gym. Nevertheless, despite me being a member at different times, my experience has always been the same, which is welcoming and heads above the competition. One of the greatest strengths of the gym is its amazing staff. No matter the position, everyone at Fit routinely greets you with a smile and workout towel from your immediate entrance to your sweaty exit. I always feel like I have a genuine support group that push me to keep coming back so I can meet my personal fitness goals. One staff member in particular that I'd like to shout out is Marissa at the front desk. Marissa goes out of her way to help address any questions I have about workout classes, equipment, and registering for personal trainer sessions! She's always eager to help and ensure that I have all the support I need to have a great workout. I'm really thankful for my "Fit Family."

They (management) completely value protecting their image over their members comfort in the gym. One of their cleaning ladies in the evening shift was aggressively yelling at me as I was changing for days on end, at closing time. I would say nothing and quickly put my clothes on and leave as soon as I could (only leaving 1 to 3 minutes after closing time). Finally one day she was yelling for 5 minutes about cleaning the locker room when it was just her and I in there, and she yelled at me as always to leave when it hit 9 pm. I still said nothing and continued putting my clothes on, readying myself to leave… she got the front desk people and complained to them as it was only 1 minute past closing time. When I told them how frustrated I was about her treatment I’ve been receiving, they only backed her up, and my membership was cancelled the following day. This should have never been acceptable to be treated this way by any employee of theirs and I thought they would have more concern for how a member was being treated than why the employee was upset since it was extremely unprofessional and uncomfortable.

I can hardly believe these guys close at 7pm. The gym itself is very good so 5 stars there but the hours are laughable. 9pm during the week when my sister and I don't even get in there or want to get in there until that time

The Management is the worst. In 6 months, this 3rd management but whoever comes, its getting worse. And steam room never works while sauna is too tiny to have more than 3 persons. Working Hours ridiculous...
