Fuel Fitness, Wilmington (Mayfaire location )What a great gym! I have been going here for years.I know….Fuel Fitness only opened here within the last year, but my wife and I went to this gym location before when it was run by a different owner. All the old, tired equipment and exercise machines and weights were carted away and replaced with the newest and best gym equipment in town. (I know, I’ve checked.)Where else can you do your workout while looking out the large clean windows onto two manicured lakes filled with turtles and geese and beautiful white cranes?We welcomed the new manager, Chris, this week. I notice that he is advertising for new staff and daycare personnel, so let’s be patient. He will succeed. The front desk folks are superior. They are on the ball and always welcoming.The gym is uncrowded and well taken care of by staff. Bathrooms, locker rooms, showers and sauna are clean and stocked with soaps and towel dispensers.The shiny new equipment fits every muscle group. The gluteus maximus machine is a doosey and my personal favorite.My wife and I appreciate the large investment Fuel Fitness made in outfitting the whole building with Technogym products and machines. $20k for each treadmill, and not much less for the cycles, ellipticals and weight machines. (I Googled it.) I can’t say enough about how much I enjoy choosing my cardio running venue between the early morning streets of Singapore or the sundown trails of the Grand Canyon, all on the Technogym screen display. I choose a different place to visualize each day.Just yesterday I complimented Chris on how his Technogym machines link easily to my Polar heart rate monitor (as they advertise to do with any Bluetooth HRM.) I showed him a screen shot of the workout I just completed where Technogym graphed my cadence, my watts, and my heart rate during my run. I don’t even need to use my smartphone app anymore. I told him that I suffer from “chronic lack of motivation” and will easily quit a cardio workout mid-stream. I discovered that the only way I can finish a cardio workout is by setting heart rate goals, along with either HIT ( high intensity training) or long, easy, heart rate plateaus.I asked Chris why the large investment that Fuel Fitness made in Technogym didn’t have his machines with lines of people waiting for them. He told me, “You are ahead of the curve.” Ha. A compliment, since I am 75 years old and I haven’t been ahead of anything for many years.So, enjoy the lack of crowds while it lasts because I predict physical fitness is gaining popularity, especially after our collective trying past two years in the world.So, 5 stars?No. 4.99 stars.Why? Because my wife and others we talk would prefer a milder music selection from the ubiquitous ceiling audio speakers while we are at the gym. We cannot get used to the thumping beat music that the youth enjoy. We’ll let Chris work on that decision….. One suggestion for compromise is to turn off the speakers in the locker rooms and leave them alone outside the locker rooms. That would help.Isaac

Nice little gym located in the Mayfaire shopping center. They offer month to month memberships or yearly. Also have a joiner fee, but lots of promos running. Once a year $49 fee also. Lots of decent equipment and not too crowded, so plenty to use at peak hours. Lots of free weights, cable machines, exercise machines and plenty of cardio equipment. Saunas are located in both men & women’s bathrooms. Sauna is in need of some renovations, but does get up to a good hot temperature.

Exceptional staff and equipment offerings. My husband and I visited the gym while on vacation in the area. The young lady at the front desk, Gracie, was both very knowledgeable and attentive. Another employee, Ryan, was also very helpful in providing additional information. The gym was clean and the variety of equipment offered was very useful. I also had the opportunity to experience a Hydro Massage post-workout. That was amazing. I highly recommend Fuel Fitness to local residents.
