Great gym! Front desk always friendly and the facility is so clean. I wish they offered a mid day cycle class during the week in addition to the early and late times.
I was released from hospital at 7am and upon hitting the streets realized my phone was dead. The people here were so nice to let me wait in their warm reception area to wait for my family to pick me up. They are a real asset to the community's health and well being. I will definitely keep them in mind next time I join the gym which will probably be sooner than later. The girls there were unbelievably kind hearted and helpful. They saved me that cold morning day
Cons: Crowded during peak hours and can be dusty on the black mats in the warm up room.
Pros: close walkable for Fishtown and old Kensington residence, reasonable fees and polite workers.
These guys are so easy to deal with. Great staff (my man Jack!), great hours, clean facility, locations all over the place ... everything you could want out of a gym Price is great, too.
I couldn't be happier. City Fitness is Philly's best gym, easily.
Amazing location and layout!!! The staff here is great and so are the instructors. I did a WeFit class and the instructor was encouraging and helpful. It is so pleasant coming here! I tried the hydro massage, it was okay, it wasn't bad but it wasn't great. Kind of felt like a waste of 10 minutes, it's relaxing but definitely not a real massage. The only downside is that every fellow gym go-er I've encountered has been super rude. Especially when I try to have a friendly interaction. But other than that it is a great place.
Great instructors. I just wish members wouldn't wear fragrance to workout and would clean off the machines after use.
Nice gym with free classes. Pretty cool perks. It's not cheap, you can make it cheaper if you do 5 simple tasks within your first month. The biggest flaw with City Fitness is the size. They have multiple foors and rooms but most of the equipment is in one room and it gets cramped during peak hours. Still a great place with awesome location.
Went to this gym for 8 months before leaving because I was moving to a different city. My major grievance is how crowded the weight section gets during peak hours. It is not even worth trying to lift weights after work as you'll spend all day waiting for all the exercises you need to do. My other major grievance is the number of ways they try to extract money from you, which I have delineated below:
1. Thrive: They a cross-fit type program unique to City Fitness called "Thrive" which is exceedingly expensive. After declining, I was repeatedly asked in person, by text, email, and phone calls why I wasn't participating. They would go so far as to ask "besides the money, why aren't you joining thrive." The money is the main issue as their recommend Thrive program for me would have cost me $6,000 over the course of a year...
2. The various fees... There is a sign-on fee, which is not unexpected but also an annual gym infrastructure fee which makes no sense. I don't get charged an infrastructure fee by my phone provider or my barber, so why does my gym think its okay to charge that so explicitly instead of considering those costs as an expenditure of their business.
3. Finally, cancelling my membership took hours of my time. I went in person, called over the phone, sent emails, and went in person again. You have to cancel more than a month in advance (which fortunately I did but only by pure luck) and if you don't you get charged anyways. Finally, you can't directly talk to the billing people. I've never heard of a more difficult way to cancel.
Finally, I would have appreciated more yoga classes at the gym.
I would have given this place two stars but they did have nice treadmills with TV and internet, along with a steady supply of clean towels.

Stay away, not worth it.
The gym itself is very nice and I used to enjoy it when I first joined but it went downhill. It is never clean, the equipment is dirty, the mens locker room has water everywhere and is never maintained.
They also decided to cut my lock as I'm working out because someone said that their belongings were in my locker. And then they LEFT my lock cut, and not secure for hours, until I realized it when I got back to my locker and I had some of my belongings missing. STAY AWAY.

Clean and friendly staff
A true value.
This is a top notch facility for a very good price. The area is expansive. There are the Olympic platforms, a decent sized free weight area, a couple cross fit rooms, good cardio equipment, and two studios for classes.
The building has exposed wood beams, preserving classic fishtown style. There's a juice bar. Plenty of lockers. Friendly staff.
I love this place.
I have always been intimidated and self conscious when going to the gym. I cannot tell you enough how thankful I am to the trainers (especially Johnny and Franco) for their continued kindness, support and patience while I try to reach my goals. The entire staff is always friendly and helpful. Thank you!
I joined a few weeks ago. The gym itself is clean and organized. I've been able to find parking nearby pretty quickly. I had a few questions early in the morning and the ladies at the desk were extremely helpful. They didn't have an answer for one of my questions at that moment, but called me within the hour with the answer. Great Customer service

Beautiful gym, great set of equipment and plenty of room. Only downside is the price, which isn't too bad.
I was a member of city fitness for two years. This fitness center offers great equipment and qualifiable coaches if interested in personal training. Expect the group classes to be hard. Unfortunately I do not live in the are anymore but would recommend it.
Natural light, lots of space, top trainers, spacious, great classes, in my opinion this is the Best gym in philly .
Adequate/clean gym for various goals. However very pricey at $30 biweekly with discounts... and there are still parts of the gym that's inaccessible unless you purchase a very expensive "thrive" membership. If you do join prepare to workout your 'trying to find a Parking Spot muscle' as parking is a nightmare.
Clean and organized! Needs more beginner options for classes. Would love staff to be available more on gym floor to help me work out. I do have to give props to John who truly cares! He sat down on the row machine next to me to show me how to use it! He's a great motivator and amazing guy! Honestly he truly was a motivating factor in signing up me and my 2 daughters! Fishtown needs a tanning bed ( or 2) for the price!hate the locking me into the year contract! Overall a. Beautiful place!
Clean gym with friendly staff and great equipment! I love the group exercise classes - they offer zumba, les mills bodypump and bodycombat, spin, yoga, and more. The thrive training program is awesome. All of the personal trainers are knowledgeable and personable. The small group training sessions are motivating.
All the equipment you would need to have a decent workout but lacks the aesthetic appeal of the fishtown location. Could uses some better lighting and some fresh murals or paint to really spruce the place up.

This place is a dream come true. It's beautiful inside! And HUGE! Exposed brick, vaulted ceiling, old wood, multiple ceiling fans, skylights, a constant train going by through a high set of windows, and the water fountains are set to a cool (not cold) temperature, like 50°? And the crowd is quiet and respectful. I'm new at all of this. I'm new at being a gym member, I joined when we opened back on New Years Day. But I've fallen in love with the process and the routine of it all. "We are a result of the decisions we make." - Tony Robbins.
Fact.
And I decided, this year, that I want to make a major change, a healthy change, so I quit smoking. I joined this gym, I quit drinking beer* ... I've addressed my diet.
And my newest "Decision" is to look like a God. I want to wear Tattoos depicting my Poseidon! And I'll need to do some work on Me before I can adorn such an honorable piece of art. So, again, thank you City Fitness for providing my temple. My encouragement. My place of meditation.
May the Force be with You.
