Place sucks. Don’t go here !!!. All they care about is money. I tried canceling my membership and it was the worst experience, 100$ cancelation fee plus ur monthly fee. Also terrible experience with trainers, there’s one trainer “madison” that came up to me multiple times during the day asking me to join when I made it clear that I did not want to do personal training. Then proceeded to email me 5 different times. Gym and equipment is decent but place sucks other than that. Do not recommend at all !!!

Best fitness is a fabulous gym! B-Fitt is absolutely the best group class ever. Friendly and motivating instructors with great workouts. We are like a family in those classes. Bonus they have a kids club!

Most of the machines don’t work, Gum on machines. They lie to you with free 30 days to get you to sign up for the gym membership. Tell you if you refer someone you get $20off -not true. (This is despite the childcare schedule) Steam room wasn’t clean, look like mold on the floor. Not the best experience gym to sign a 2 year commitment. One positive objective front desk are extremely professional and nice as well -as the lady’s from the childcare. Dislike writing this review base on how nice the front desk and childcare was, however reviews help when signing on to a 2 year commitment, and not being able to get a full workout as planed.

Great place to workout! I came here with my sister a few times when I was visiting from Wisconsin. Staff was welcoming, friendly, and the classes were super fun! Highly recommend.

This is a really great gym. More than enough space and equipment to get in any kind of workout. Always clean and well kept, even when it's busy. The staff is top notch, professional and friendly.Highly recommended.

Edit: to reply to reply from owner - I did contact the gym and was told refunds could not be guaranteed because apparently nothing is approved at the local gym level. Not agreements. Not refunds. Everything must be approved by corporate - whom are NOT located at the local gym and unable to be contacted.Unless you have the patience for being misled on contract lengths and your money being withdrawn erroneously and then taking days of escalations and return calls that, for whatever reason, takes 72 hours to get back to you - RUN. My daughter and I went in to sign up. I was told monthly $39.99 for me and $29.99 for her because she was a student. Sounds good because it is a nice gym with some good classes so I cancel our other gym membership. So we’re going to the gym. Then I notice I have been charged for my daughter’s account but not mine. I go in and inquire as to why. I’m told “corporate will not approve my membership unless I sign a 2 year agreement…” Right. I say no thanks since I was not told about that up front. Now I have no gym. Fine, things happen. Fast forward a month and I am charged for my daughter’s next month TWICE in 2 different locations! My credit card is charged $32.99 for the actual membership cost, a credit card fee, and $1 for “tanning service”. Then my bank account is charged $29.99 for just the monthly fee. Okay, again, things happen, I was not told upfront (a trend?) about the $2.99 credit card fee so when I find out about it I ask to use my bank account instead to avoid the fee (that’s a whole month of membership over 1 year gone in fees). Im told a ‘rewrite’ needs to be done to make that change. So I do it the day after we sign up. Fast forward a month and I’m being charged everywhere. On calling ABC fitness I discover they think they’re charging me for last month $32.99 (including an alleged ‘tanning service’ for a half black, half Guatemalan child of color) and for the current month the straight $29.99 when I was already charged $31.99 immediately at sign up last month for last month. Insanity. I have no more faith in this place to get things right so I will just have to have my credit card company deal with this place removing folks’ monies from multiple places for the same service and ridiculous $1 tanning services for people of color. And anyways what tanning service is $1??? 2 starts since the gym is nice and there are lots of classes.

The staff is so amazing and is always willing to help you out with any issues. Coming from vent fitness where there is no new equipment, this gym is the best I’ve found in the region.

This Gym has very nice and modern equipment and great friendly staff. There is Personal Training and the trainers are actually in shape and know what they are doing. There are classes for HIIT cardio and they have an MMA class as well as Yoga. It is very impressive
