City fitness keeps a tight ship. Every gym I've been to is clean and inviting. smaller than the graduate hospital and Fishtown gym but I like the set up of the thrive area and how members have a chance to use that area and equipment at times
Very clean facility, equipment always in good shape. I been coming here for 10 years and it's always a good clean environment. They even finally added the 100 lb dumbbells back. Only think I dislike is they constantly keep raising their prices and limit you to which club you access. Fortunately I'm locked in at $19.99.
Clean facility, kind staff, and a great work out environment- this place is awesome!
Amazing gym!!! The people who work here up front are so very friendly and welcoming. Susan is extremely nice, personable and friendly. She gave me a tour on my first time and made me feel so comfortable. The layout is nice, but everything is very close to each other. I did take a Zumba class here which was extremely intimidating because it was my first time and everyone in the class knew exactly what they were doing and the instructor, Gina, didn't talk or use words at all we were just supposed to copy her. Which was embarrassing being in a class full of people who knew all the moves because they were her regulars
CF offers everything you need. There are so many treadmills you will never find yourself waiting for one. Personal trainers here are great. Got no complaints about the equipment. Membership costs are less than the gyms in center city. Overall a great gym.
Excellent facility and staff. Just started there after the 12th Street Gym disaster. The place is spotless, easy to navigate and has plenty of stations, equipment and rooms designed for speciality classes such a specially layed out and lighted spinning rooms. Parking is also available but limited in the number of spaces...street side prking is usually very available all around the building.
I joined this gym when I moved to Northern Liberties and I really enjoy it. The staff is always very friendly, the price is reasonable and the hours are great!

Did their free Trial as Early access pass, but then somehow they got me at a 3 months contract member. Phone rang off the hook after I cancel with them. It's been fun but I can't afford it.

I moved out of the area and put my account on freeze a week ago and I'm still being charged. I'm beyond frustrated with they way this gym handles their billing. Always trying to get the extra dollar. I then tried to cancel my membership. Beware, when you cancel you still get charged for another month. Even though you are standing in front of them, telling them you can't and don't want to come to their gym anymore, you will still be charged for another TWO billing cycles!

An over the top elite fitness facility that takes pride in everything they do and every part of the facility. Can train with professional athletes from time to time. Even get some photo ops

Been a member for years. I enjoy the classes and the facility has up to date equipment.
Great gym. Nice staff. Clean and updated equipment. They have 4 stair masters which if awesome. They also have mirrors everywhere so you can see yourself. To me it's worth the high price tag because of the classes they offer. They offer Zumba, cycling, yoga, and other classes that use body weight and weights. They have a sauna, clean showers, locker room, and few towels.

Good trainers, not much parking, can get crowded.
Gym is excellent and the services provided exceed the monthly cost!
Great gym. Lots of classes and good equipment. Lots of space.
Great place to come and workout. You get a great support system from the moment you walk in.
Started their free 7 day trial a few days ago. The price point for a monthly membership is a bit steep, but perhaps I'm just used to the other "no frills" gyms - and frankly, that's all I needed here too.
Thus far however I always judge a gym by two things - how busy it feels, options of equipment, cleanliness / organization.
1) It's not crowded. That could just be a function of when I go ( early AM ), but I rarely if ever have to wait for any equipment. I don't mind a "busy" gym, but if its busy then it should have enough of EVERYTHING so that I don't have to wait.
2) Options. If you're into classes - they have classes. If you're into elliptical, they have them too ( and stair climbers, etc ). For me, they have two different weight areas - one with machines and "lighter" free weights ( up to 60 lbs or so ) and another area of free weights with free weight benches, dumbbells, etc. A large well equipped stretching area rounds it out for me - foam rollers, stretching bands, and stretching equipment.
3) The weights are where they belong. Plates and dumbbells are not strewn about. The locker rooms seem clean. Simple stuff, but it's good to go.
Downside? I know its a local chain - but man does it feel "cool corp" with everyone in black tops and bottoms ( funny, because that's what I wear too... but I don't work there ). And I seem to often walk in to overhearing employee's of varying levels complaining about things.
True story: I love this gym so much that when I was looking for a new apartment, my main requirement was to be walking distance from City Fitness!
It's such a great gym. It really feels like family. It's one of the rare gyms that everyone actually says hello to each other. They have something for everyone no matter what your level or preference is. Great Thrive program and awesome classes! I go to Rich's boot camps religiously. You can also get amazing workouts from from Brian D. and Alfonzo's boot camps. Intense cardio from Carl and Angela's spin. This gym really has something for everyone! Oh, and you can get a post-workout recovery smoothie after the work out from Angie! Shout out to JP and Joyce too. Love them :)
I was touring gyms in the area and was very interested in City Fitness- still am- but really turned off by my experience there.
My spouse and I went together after work to tour the gym. We didn't work out, but checked out the facility to see if it has what we are interested. Afterwards, we got sat down and pressured into committing to a membership because it was $70 off of the $99 joining fee if we signed that day. We had no way of knowing this, and we hadn't even tried any fitness classes, so I wasn't quite ready to sign at that moment, even with the discount. We are also touring other facilities, so I didn't want to sign for one before trying others. Well, the fitness sales manager really kept pushing, telling us we had two weeks to try and return it if we decided we didn't like the gym, did we not understand the discount we were getting, that we would be wasting our money to join later, that we should buy now because we could still try other gyms because we won't like one better than City Fitness, etc. We are really interested in kickboxing and wanted to rule out a kickboxing only gym before fully committing to City Fitness- I think this is reasonable.
We tried to be firm and tell the manager we didn't mind having to pay the full enrollment fee if and when we decided to join and he rolled his eyes, clearly got a bit more hostile, and said "I can guarantee I will never see you back here ever again" and that we are just choosing to neglect our own health and bodies by not joining the gym. WOAH- it's not that we didn't want to join the gym or neglect our healths, we just didn't appreciate the insanely hard sell after saying we wanted to wait several times over. I mean, we only toured the facility, we didn't even work out there yet, why would we commit right then?! To be honest, in the beginning of his spiel before he got more aggressive, I was actually getting excited and ready to ask my spouse if he wanted to just take the plunge and join, but this manager, Evan, really made me uncomfortable and turned me off from wanting to join.
The hard sell may work for some, but insulting potential customers and pushing for a sale after my spouse and I politely said we would like to wait over five times is too much. It's a nice facility with great amenities and I'd like to go back, but this experience really soured my perception in a really negative way. If we do go back, I will be avoiding Evan at all costs and hope another employee can do our sale. After reading other reviews, this seems to be the common trend. NO THANKS! I'm letting all of my friends know so they can avoid avoid avoid.
When my trainer from another gym began working at City Fitness I decided to follow him, and I'm happy that I did!
I felt welcomed from the moment that I walked through the doors. EVERYONE is friendly and the entire gym is always so clean!
There is always a machine available to workout on whenever I'm ready, no waiting for someone to get off.... The trainers are motivating without being overbearing (which I've experienced at other places) and no matter what your shape, size, or strength is they make you feel good about yourself and your goals! What I love most are the convenient hours, I'm a night person so the gym staying open until 1am is wonderful for me!!
Always clean with great friendly staff. I've been going for almost two weeks now and all the equipment I have used had been working fine. Their open workout area is a great touch to a normal weight lifting gym. Overall this place is great.
