Love the Group Fitness class and instructors. New equipment and smart bars.

It's a nice gym. Plenty of classes to sign up for. Swimming pool, sauna, hot tub. Decent locker room. Plenty of equipment new and old. Free weights and machines. Personal training is always an option. Daycare room. Just wish they had doors separating bathroom from locker room as it can get pretty foul.

I love that there's a friendly & helpful staff, great equipment, and a wide (and fun) variety of classes! I really enjoy the fact that I have so many options to make my workouts more interesting, instead of them just feeling strictly routine! I like to change it up every once and a while, keeps me from getting bored and also allows me to stay motivated in achieving my health goals!

Signed up two weeks ago and have been 12 times already. I've been to other gyms in the past and was hesitant to sign up for another because not enough benches or squat racks or people camp on them too long. This place is always busy but they have enough free weight equipment machines in a good balance and the people here workout and move on for the most part. I can come in, get my cardio warm up, do my lift routine and be done in 45-60 minutes and that's when they're the busiest at about 5 or 6.

Tl;dr version: great equipment, people are courteous of others, and all in all great place to work out.

I go to this gym usually 6 days each week. The employees seem nice & helpful. Certain times of the day, of course, are much more crowded than others so one would need to ask what the best times would be to come to avoid a crowd. I am thankful this gym has an arm bike which I use because I had rotator cuff surgery of my shoulder a couple years ago & this machine helps me tremendously.

This is a great gym with a very cool atmosphere that has an awesome staff. You can't really ask for more than that.

Staff there is great. Great enviroment. Felt like i belong there even though i'm only 16 years old. My class took a field trip there for a spin class session, great coaches. Really loved how they pushed you to your limits. And are very inspirational.

I really appreciate the fact that their is a daycare, that helps alot! All the staff there seem to be very friendly. Like a dummy, I recently left my keys in the locker and the staff handeled it very well, props to that particular staff that was able to break that heavy duty Brinks lock, Thank you again. Awesome enviorment to work out!

I have been going to the riverside location since it was built. Very friendly staff. Large gym with good equipment. Yes, It is sometimes out of commission for re upholstery. However, At least that means they keep up the equipment. The gym can be very busy depending on the time of day, But I would assume that's how it is at all gyms. I would call the price reasonable. Not the cheapest, But definitely not the most expensive.

Great place to work for. We were out to repair signs and staff very friendly and a pleasure to work with. This location is huge and has plenty of parking. It's a nice touch having the flags of the four branches of military and also a Coast Guard.

Great fitness center with good staff and helpful management. My husband and I lost our Silver Sneakers membership recently. The manager stepped in to assist and we had a smooth transition to a new membership without having to pay extra fees. The staff immediately set up our new membership and were able to continue our workouts without interruption. If you are searching for a fitness center; this would be a great place to consider. In addition to being super helpful, they are always adding new equipment, have a lot of fitness classes to choose from and have competitive membership rates.
Highly Recommend!

I just love my personal trainer, Madison Bridges. She has introduced me to a whole new world of fitness. I am using machines and equipment I never thought I would be able to operate and I am loving it!The classes are amazing too. At 55, I thought my fitness plan would be tread mill, circuit weights and a few tried but true aerobic classes. Wow! Was I wrong...I am amazed. I am having a blast and seeing results after only 2 weeks. My nutrition has also been improved as I have a coach for that too. Thank you new years resolution, without you I would not have step out and challenged myself to try personal coaching at Defined Fitness. I am feeling better, looking better, and sleeping like a baby :)

3 locations in Albuquerque and all vary in quality, availability of working equipment and facility cleanliness. Riverside is my home gym and favorite for leg day. Reasonably priced. Has a wet area, daycare and plenty of classes to choose from. Monday/Tuesday are busiest, Friday / Sunday are the least busy

I love the gym because it has a lot of equipment and a variety of group classes, as well as a pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room. Their personal training program is working really well for me. Overall I think the gym is very well-balanced in getting people healthy, well and in shape.

Good gym for the price. I have done Sports and Wellness and while it does have nicer facilities, I think you can't beat the price here. It does get crowded at peak hours but it isn't bad. I like working out here and I would recommend to anybody looking for a quality gym.

Love pretty much everything; the staff and equipment particularly. The bathrooms could probably be stocked with more paper towels more frequently. Thank you for providing a great workout experience!

This place is really going downhill! Just heard about the third case of ringworm from this gym this past year!! There really should be a regular deep clean on your equipment. Especially when people are getting ringworm often! Also, there is equipment contantly getting taken away. A lot has changed and not in a good way. With the price increase you just expect a lot more out of a gym.

I attend Silver Sneakers classes at Riverside. The gym is always clean and tidy and I've never seen anybody just hanging around inside or outside the building. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Even the visitors to the gym are friendly and willing to explain a piece of equipment or give directions to find staff. Definitely recommend the Riverside Defined Fitness.
