THIS FIT REPUBLIC KEPT CHARGING ME EVEN AFTER THEY TOLD ME MY MEMBERSHIP WAS CANCELLED. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. THEY WILL HAVE HIDDEN FEES AFTER YOU LEAVE. Would NOT refund me any of the fees when I confronted them later.

Was great until my boy Oswaldo left. 10/10 trainers, mediocre gym especially now since this is the only location (closed the other two). Way more crowded and hard to find an available machine.

Spacious, good equipment, CLEAN, members re-rack their weights. Great training staff. HIIT classes. AND, memberships are inexpensive.

I have been a member for a few years and was only going to the Meridian/Hamilton location. I had become accustomed to a run-down facility. Last weekend, they closed that location and i went to the Foxworthy location for the first time. I was very pleasantly surprised with the higher standards; cleaner facility, better equipment, and generally better atmosphere. I am very happy with this gym - I primarily use the weight machines, which are in good condition.

Good gym but they need to finish the juice bar. There is no progress whatsoever. Im also dissapointed on how the gym removed its movie theater. I loved going there and working out while watching a movie and now its just an empty room that they have done absolutely nothing with in almost a damn year. Just terrifying...

Where do I even start?! I've been a member since it became fitness evolution back in 2014 and started working for the company in January 2017. As a member, I knew the gym, management, corporate and ownership had things to work out, but once I started working for the company I really got to see things from a different point of view. Front desk associates have almost 0 control over most member issues we have to deal with because we're the faces at the front. Corporate really does not do their end of the job once things get forwarded to them. I used to have a phone number for corporate when I first started, and shortly after that they disconnected that line because they were bombarded with phone calls and didn't want to deal with it. I've sent refund requests for members to them for approval and they were either denied or had to wait longer than the typical 30 days. This company is a complete mess and I got tired of all the empty promises from the owner and corporate. Group X classes, the cardio theater and kids club were all services taken away from members and were supposed to later be replaced by an open ab and stretch area and an expanded, updated Fiit Nation studio. These were all plans told to us by corporate that we then passed on to members about new features coming soon. Those promises? Never fulfilled. New paint, updated studio, ab and stretch area were all part of the rebrand that happened in JANUARY 2018. None of that has been done or even worked on in the slightest bit. There was a point where we were so understaffed that I couldn't call out of my shift when I had food poisoning because there was no one to cover it. I was never allowed to use my 19+ hours of earned sick pay because the company is too cheap to pay an employee sick time while another employee covers that shift. I was tired of putting so much time and effort into a job that wasn't giving me anything back. I was tired of working at a place where I could expect to get yelled and cussed at by members over things I have no control over because corporate isn't handling their issue and never gets back to them. I got fed up with working a sales job that only gives you small commission on 2 of the 4 memberships we offer. I was tired of being at a company for 17 months and realizing I was never going to get a pay raise despite my best efforts of selling memberships and collecting payments. It doesn't matter how good your sales are here- you're not getting paid above minimum wage unless you're a manager or coach, regardless of the fact that you've been at this company longer than any of the people you work with. This company doesn't care about their members, and they care even less about their employees. Fit Republic only cares about getting your money and that's it. With the money this gym makes they could put in the resources, time and funding to better train and develop new employees, make necessary updates to the gym, equipment, etc. but they don't, and that's because they only care about the money going into their pockets.
I devoted my time, energy, and money to this gym. I've spent thousands of dollars in personal training at this company (and no, employees don't get a discount. I paid what members have to.) I am now STILL waiting on my final paycheck and the refund for my remaining training sessions that I was told I would get in the mail by Saturday. After an employee quits, their check is supposed to mailed to them in 48 hours, no more than 72 hours. I am waiting on hundreds of MY hard earned money for several days now. Corporate at this company can never do anything in a timely manner.

UPDATE: Fit Republic sent my 2 checks to the WRONG address. I gave them the correct mailing address IN WRITING, it was on all of my employee paperwork, it was on every single paycheck I've gotten from them for the past 17 months AND it was on my employee membership. They purposely got my address wrong to withhold my money as long as possible

This is a pretty decent gym for the price. However they don't accept monthly charges on credit cards they push you to sign up with your bank account for monthly withdrawal and when you want to cancel your membership it is a hassle. They still charged me for 2 months from the date I cancelled, had to contact them 2x to stop the charges.

Do not share your bank information with these guys. Fit republic has created a second account under my name. And when I brought it to their attention, they have taken over two months and giving me a runaround for returning my money. And this is besides the extra $100 they have charged me on my actual membership. They as of today owe me over $700!!! They are doing nothing but stealing money at this point!

January 19, 2018 22:35

Thieves. They have been charging my friend for last 7 months even after canceling the membership. Total SCAM.

January 3, 2018 04:39

Ridiculous gym membership cancellation process. What a dumb management team they have. I cancelled my gym membership in June but they are still charging from my bank account. I met 3 different people (staff) physically, to cancel my membership. Can you believe that.? I don't have enough words to curse you guys. Pathetic...

December 12, 2017 15:03

Horrible! Worst ever! Avoid at any cost! Profit Revolution are greedy bastards that will continue to charge your account long after you leave the club. We cancelled the membership in the middle of November. When we cancelled, the guy at the reception lied that November is the last month. Sure enough, they charged us for the whole month of December. I hope this review will cost them much more the they stole from us. Thieves!

i have been a member since this gyms first opening weekend, where there were a lot of promises made on classes, smoothie bars, and clean well kept equipment.
I've put up with a lot, and stayed with the gym this entire time even though the classes have been canceled, there is no smoothie bar and it's filthy and most of the time the equipment doesn't work.
The staff is super unfriendly and seems more involved in personal training only.
I finally decided to cancel when without any notice at all, they turned the room for classes and free workout/stretching into a judo studio... canceled all classes there and member access.
So no classes... no smoothie bar... no access to any cool equipment because it's for personal training only.. dirty unkept bathrooms and equipment.. no thanks!
Also they were supposed to be open 24 hours when I joined... and the hours have changed 3 times since then to shorter times and this is the same issue with the kids club. But, I am paying the same membership price. Makes no sense.
I know a ton of people canceling, so if I were you I wouldn't waste the money here, there are a million gyms with similar or better pricing with all of the amenities they promise.

This place is great. If you need help with anything talk to Isiah. He is incredibly helpful and has a great personality. The trainers here are very nice always willing to give you some advice and very friendly. The facilities are wonderful. Best gym I've gone to in a long time. I wish they change their tanning bulbs a little more often however it's still a wonderful deal and it cannot be beat.

If I could give this place less than one star I would. They had an evofit promo going on so I joined the program. I was supposed to get a complimentary session with an evofit instructor. They cancelled it two times in a week WITHOUT informing me. So when I went to the gym the first time, they said all instructors have a meeting in San Banos and will not return until evening and rescheduled it for two days after. I went again two days later, and again they said all managers and instructors are in a meeting and will return in the evening. I'm not sure why they don't know their schedule in advance, and have no respect for a clients time.

I wanted to cancel the membership at that time, but the person at the front desk said only a manager can do it. So I called the next day and was able to talk to the trainer. When I told her what happened, she said I should not cancel the membership, and she will definitely put me on her schedule for Saturday. On Saturday, just to make sure the session was not cancelled again, I called and was told that they have cancelled my membership 2 days ago, so I have no session. When I asked for a refund, the person answering the phone told me that they would not give one to me. Then I asked if I could still use the gym for a month since I have already paid for it. They said no. I asked for a refund again and heard the manager telling the person in a very disrespectful tone that they will reissue a refund in 30 days.

In addition, the staff was totally unenthusiastic. It seemed as if they really didn't want to be there. The machines were ok, but unless you want someone else's sweat on you, you have to clean them yourself. Also, if you are new to the machines, no one is there to help you. I went and asked the front desk for help on a weight machine, and all 3 of them were on lunch break at same time. They told me they will come and help when they are done with lunch. But then, even after lunch break, none of them tried to help me. Only after, I called them again did they finally come to help me.

Overall, the experience here was horrible. The utter lack of communication from company to client was disgusting. They had no respect for my time. I would definitely recommend staying as far away from this gym as possible.

I have been with the gym since launch day. I have two paid memberships and still a member. The low fee is currently holding me there because it is just a gym. It won't take much to be persuaded to leave. I no longer recommend as I did when new and the center had good energy.

Why.....

The Mederian Ave gym appearance was very welcoming when first opened. It was cleaned very well as it should be. It was brand new.

Now for a brand new facility, the upkeep is not the same. There is difficulty at the upkeep of the facility.

Restrooms are struggling to be cleaned. Sometimes stocked is an issue. The mirrors have a fog (dirt) from poor cleaning that has not been addressed for weeks; very noticeable because the reachable level was cleaned. This is male side and I have been informed similar for female side.

Sinks are with dirt and dribble and stains on the counter. As if camping and I have seen cleaner camp restrooms. I watched a disposable razor stay on counter for two days.

Equipment does not seem serviced as it should be. Weight decals identifying weight have been missing for a better part of a year on several pieces of equipment. Knobs missing to pull out and make adjustments on some equipment. Weight machine guides for the weights are dirty causing issues for the weight movement up and down. Free weights not managed or regrouped by staff. I watch members cleanup open floor having no longer seen staff do the job.

Floors have shadowing from unattended spills that have evaporated, as do the machines and dust build up. A floor scrubber would do wonders on the surface as would the backpack vacuum they have.

If you go to the gym in the morning at opening, expect to see it as it was left at closing. There is no evidence of end of shift cleanup or replacing equipment by the employed staff. Members are seen picking up and they pay to work out. Again, signs of a new gym that is aging quickly. Attentiveness is now greatly different.

They do have Hammer Strength machines which I like and frequently use.

Many gym options exist around us, so shop around if it is the price point for this gym that is your draw. After all, they are gyms and most often struggle with up keep.

This place has an awesome staff. They definitely know how to get you to your goal weight and size.
