Best Gym near Allentown, Pennsylvania

My friend invited me to try a class at Orange Theory Allentown two years ago and I was immediately hooked! The atmosphere is super friendly (all coaches included) but especially Coach Liz. Not only is this a challenging workout, Coach Liz keeps us all entertained with her humor. I like that Orange Theory changes the templates often, and I feel like I never do the same thing twice, which I like! I definitely recommend this workout 😊

I love Orangetheory Allentown! The workouts are always challenging yet fun and they really help push me to reach my fitness goals that I couldn't do on my own. Coach Jerri, Aimee, Pattie, Liz and Brandi are so motivating and knowledgeable. The staff and members are so supportive making it a positive and fun community and something I look forward to each week. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to crush their fitness goals and make a positive change in their life! I have most of my family signed up at this point!

Orange Theory hooked me right away. I had gym fatigue and wasn’t very motivated when I joined, but I thought I’d give it a shot. After my first class, I was intrigued and exhausted. After two I was excited. I loved the engagement of the coaches and the real-time feedback from the equipment. I wanted to get better and I did. I amazed at the gains in a few short months. The coaches are invested in your success.

I have been to a lot of gyms and tried a lot of different workout over the last 25 years, and OrangeTheory Fitness is the only one that had both short term and long term positive effects on my health and wellness. The staff is professional and so encouraging before, during and after workouts, enabling me to achieve my goals. Just today Coach Jerri pushed me to achieve a PR in the one mile tread. I have not only found a gym, but a positive and supportive community.

Orange Theory Allentown is an excellent workout. I love the fact that every class is different and the members and coaches are all helpful and supportive. Using the OT beat during class helps to enhance the workout and makes you want to do better. All the coaches and staff are amazing and will support you on your journey. Shout out to Coach Liz for always bringing fun to the class.

Clean. Good equipment. Excellent turf area. Only things holding it back from five stars is the hours are terrible, the price for those short hours is too high, and there’s no mirrors (not that I’m looking all time but it’s odd and nice to see what I’m doing)

Spacious, helpful staff, & CLEAN! Equipment is in very good condition & COVID protection measures are among the best I've seen in all of Lehigh Co! Great job St. Luke's! Keep it up.

Great gym! Newer equipment, clean, employees are all nice and helpful. Just need to get barbells and it will be perfect!

Impeccably clean gym. Lots of equipment. Great staff. Best Gym in the area.

We have been members for several years. Great trainers and staff. Up to date equipment. Best gym around.

Mirella was so friendly and engaging, she was so knowledgeable and the scan they did of your body was really cool and informative! The owner is also very knowledgeable and also a very hands on owner which is nice to see! Overall, had a great experience and would recommend to anyone and everyone since mobility and flexibility is so important and plays a huge role in all aspects of your life! Definitely worth it for overall wellness!

Excellent service. My son had a good experience with Sy — he was very helpful and informative. Friendly front desk staff as well! I received a follow up call from the owner, which was appreciated. We will definitely recommend to our friends and family. Thanks!

First visit today and it’s was a great experience. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, explaining the process and what would happen. Asked pertinent questions about my problem areas and addressed those as needed. Kimberly was thoughtful and so very helpful for my first stretch. Highly recommend for any ‘senior’ that is not as active as they used to be!

I’ve heard good things about Stretch Lab and needed to give it a try. My experience was amazing. Amanda was my flexologist. I have neck and shoulder issues and she was extremely patient and efficient with stretching me out. She walked me through everything as it was happening and never extended beyond what I could handle. Can’t wait to come back!

Romanley at StretchLab is fantastic! He consistently provides an exceptional stretch experience, focusing on the areas that need the most attention. I always leave feeling refreshed and more mobile. Highly recommend Justin if you’re looking for a truly great stretch session!

My son has been going to Tyler at Up The Ranks Performance for about 5 years now. Since he has been going, my son has seen dramatic change and growth as not only a hitter but a fielder as well. Not only did Tyler work on my sons technique and mechanics, but also instilled confidence and made things fun while coaching him. He is now a freshman in HS and trying out for his team. If it wasn't for Coach Tyler I'm not sure he would be where he is today.

Coach Tyler is exactly what my son needed. While he has amazing team coaches, his confidence was lacking, and I knew he needed something more and Coach Tyler was the answer. Coach Tyler doesn’t just have you pitch or hit for an hour, he takes his time, watches, talks, asks why, so he can properly teach you and he really gets to know and understand his athletes. Coach Tyler gets to know the person, the family and is just a great Baseball Mentor. My son has exceled in travel baseball because Coach Tyler has helped him hone in on his pitching skills and really has Up the Ranks in his hitting ability. I would not only recommend Coach Tyler to everyone, I would say, Coach Tyler is the answer to your kids Baseball needs, he definitely was for my kid!

Can't say enough good things about Tyler and Up the Ranks. Tyler has been working with my HS aged son for around a year now and the improvement has been more than I had envisioned. Not only has my sons fundamentals improved, but his understanding to recognize mechanical mistakes and correct them on his own really stands out to me. Tyler really knows how to relate to his audience and teach in a way that any age group could understand. On a side note, the work he does for the community and local baseball programs in the area should not be overlooked!

My son was struggling with the basics of hitting. Coach Tyler started working with him, and within 3 to 4 lessons, everything changed. Tyler focused on the basics, and I learned the mechanics of hitting while watching his lessons. I was able to give my son constructive feedback that both he and I understood. His hitting ability last season improved so much that he became one of the strongest, most consistent hitters on the team. And most importantly, he gained so much confidence that every time he stepped in the box, he was prepared and ready to go! Coach Tyler has a way with players where he brings out their best while instilling the basics needed for excellence. Best decision I made for my son!

My son has worked with Tyler for over two years. Finding Tyler was the best thing that could have happened to my son. We found Tyler when my son needed support, encouragement, and positive coaching the most. He brought back the love of baseball and hard work to my son. He’s not just a wonderful coach that shows a true interest in my son’s progress, he’s a mentor that my son can look up to for positive feedback and a can do attitude. He’s always available and flexible with our schedule. His lessons are broken down step by step and he explains everything and why it’s important. My son’s pitching mechanics have improved tremendously. As you can tell, I cannot say enough about Tyler!!!

My daughter has been going here for almost a year now, and let me just say it’s been a great experience I’m so glad I chose this beautiful group of people to care for my baby. She loves going everyday seeing her teachers and sometimes does not want to leave 😂 that says a lot! Lisa is great and manages everything so well. The building is secure, clean, and everyone is so friendly. I leave with confidence that my daughter is just fabulous! Thank you Jcc 🙏🏼

First, the location was so beautiful. All of the children and parents were impressed and commented on how amazing the location was. The pool was beautiful, and the kiddos loved the toys that were given for them to play with. Jodi worked with me to make sure I had everything I needed to host a spectacular party. Jodi and her husband Sam even helped me get everything put together before the party. They were very hands on and understanding. I am currently looking into getting my son swimming lessons with the JCC. Thank you so much for going above and beyond.

Re: Swimming lessons for school age kids at the JCC pool. Coaches are involved with the kids and take their time to teach them thoroughly. There's evidence of their progress even week to week. Price is competitive to other programs. Coach K is very effective.

I've called over 10 times regarding swimming lessons for my son left messages each time and have gotten zero response... I went there personally and they told me I had to call that I couldn't just go talk to any one .. but I told them over and over no one is responding but they didn't care ....

My little one had the best summer camp experience at JCC, She's already excited to go back for 2024. Me and my family are appreciative for everyone there, we hope to continue being part of this wonderful community!!!

Great experience! I started the trial at 6ycle studio and I love it! My goal is to get back to my previous body shape after having a baby 4 months ago and hope this is the right place! I love the vibe they provide during the class! Classes are fun and good for women and men of any age! All trainers I’ve met so far are nice and welcoming! They have multiple classes during the day so it works for any schedule.

I wasn't really looking for a group fitness class, but my goodness am I glad I found one. 6 Cycle has been a fantastic experience from the start. The owners are informative and positive, the staff are incredible helpful and welcoming. There are a variety of classes and the schedule offers early morning to late in the evening sessions. It doesn't matter your skill level, shape or size... this place is welcoming, motivating and all around positive. Since starting at 6 Cycle I've lost weight, I sleep better, my mood and energy level are up and some of the joint paint I experience with Lyme Disease has really subsided. If you are on the fence, trust me... JUST TRY IT!

I’ve been spinning for over 2 years and just recently starting at 6cycle I’ve fallen in love with it even more! The energy here is amazing, there is always an air of encouragement from each and every instructor there. The community that has been built here is amazing and so supportive of everyone! I really enjoy how they have different styles of classes and encourage you to always challenge yourself to be your best. I always leave here feeling refreshed and with a clear head! Overall this is a fantastic spin studio for everyone!!!

I took my first class at 6ycle 8 months ago knowing one of my son's friends went there and really loved it. Totally new fitness quest for me... one class and I was hooked! Emma and Jared were so kind to me and made me feel welcomed and supported. The instructors are THE BEST- hands down!. Each brings their own style, all bring an energy that is unmatched. What a community of love, support, and acceptance. Gym time should be fun, right? 6cycle- you've nailed it! Couldn't love it more!

I participated in a membership trial for 28 days. The consultation with the co-owner was great! Communication 👍🏾 👍🏾👍🏾 I attended a few classes during my trial period. It was an energetic atmosphere. I enjoyed the variety of music. They definitely provide a WORKOUT! The instructors were friendly and helpful. The attendees presented the same energy. I luv that the owners take into consideration the members' opinion. The studio is far but it's worth the drive! Only wish there was a shower/changing area. Hopefully, the owners will consider this renovation.

I went to the hot yoga class for beginners. I liked the instructor, she helped with inversions (I always find those to be the most challenging) and she made sure everyone knew modifications so everyone was working at their own level. But the space was not good. The floors were red clay tile; I never feel clean when I'm laying on clay tile. And the heater made it sound like a boiler room. No music was playing, which is a subjective complaint but I personally prefer music to a noisy heater. I may go back to try another class with wood floors. But, I'll never do the hot yoga again.

This studio offers something for everyone. (I like that there are numerous beginner-type classes offered for a middle-aged or injured population.) Prices are reasonable too! Studio is always clean and instructors are interested in their students' well-being! First class is free so check it out!!!

I just moved to the area, and I was so excited to find a yoga studio with traditional Ashtanga classes in the mornings. The teacher, Jacque, is one of those rare and wonderful experts who knows how to work with every kind of body. Ashtanga is physically rigorous, but learning in this setting, working one-on-one with a great teacher at your own pace while still practicing alongside people of all levels, it's such an amazing opportunity! The space is warm and beautiful and all the students are supportive of each other. I love LVYS and would recommend it to anyone :)

First and only time going to a paid yoga class I went here. It was level 2-3 hot yoga or something similar (it was a while ago). It was great. Would definitely recommend.

This studio seems more fitness based and should have more accurate class descriptions such as "cardio fitness yoga". I have been a level 2-3 for years and felt completely agitated after the pushy "fitness class'!

I as the owner of this business have nothing but the upmost appreciation for all positive growth we have given each other. This goes out to my clients, friends, and supporters who have been a part of a team who cares.

There is a employee that works here than likes to park up front and usually parks over the line to deter people from parking next to him. One time I saw him taking up a spot and the handicap spot next to him. Told the management and they didn't care. Your employees should park in the back so customer may park up front.

Small, family owned gym. The place is clean with good equipment. Staff is great. Day care is included with membership. They also have a hot tub, sauna, and steam room.

Going to this gym for the last few months. I have nothing but great things to say. The staff is always so friendly, the equipment is always working, the gym is small enough to not feel intimidated but also big enough to not feel crowded. The childcare option is a life saver for myself, the staff that does the childcare is always so friendly, and trustworthy. My 3 year old asks me daily to go to the gym because he has such a good time when he goes!

Fitness Plaza has everything you need. They have an ample weight selection. They have ample resistance machines. They have ample cardio equipment (I never need to wait for a treadmill) They have a smoothie bar and bottled beverages that are reasonably priced. The restrooms are always clean. The hot tub/sauna/steam room are always in good repair.

I joined this gym about a week ago, and I’m seriously kicking myself for not having done so sooner. This family owned and operated gym has such a friendly and helpful staff. The equipment is clean, and there is plenty to do. The other members are courteous and friendly: The type of people who hold the door open for you, smile and say hello. The hours of operation and free lockers are very convenient, and the MTO protein smoothie bar is a great feature (Not to mention the drink cooler and healthy snack options)! The locker rooms have full-sized lockers, lots of mirrors, and showers as well as a sauna and a whirlpool. They also have massage therapists that come in! Sometimes I don’t even want to leave the gym! I will definitely be coming here for a long, long time.

This place has a great community vibe, with a diverse range of people and fitness levels. Everyone is supportive and encouraging, making it a positive and motivating environment to work out

Great gym and even better community. Compared to other gyms the hours of operation and class times are plentiful and good coaching.

Recently started at F13 and nothing but good things to say! Everyone has been great! Very friendly and welcoming! Great coaches! Would highly recommend!

We love all the events that F13 helps host and organize for the Greater Lehigh Valley fitness community. These pics were from F13 co-hosting a Kettlebell VIP training with the World Kettlebell Champion, Team USA athlete, Valerie Pawlowski!

Great workouts. The coaches are the best around. Lots of classes to schedule. The people here are wonderful

Nice pool, and decent facilities. Could be so so much better. Their cleaners do a very poor job on cleanliness and seem fixated on pressure washing the poolside shower area. However, the shower stalls are really mouldy and dirty and no attempt seems to made to deal with that. Shower stalls and drains are constantly covered human hair that never gets removed. The soap and shampoo units are more frequently empty than full. The Nazareth YMCA did a much better job on cleanliness. For the pricing, the lack of cleanliness is appalling. Providing feedback is not welcomed at reception. A suggestion for management is to make it easy to provide feedback via a system where members can provide it easily and see actions being taken to rectify the issues. Not sure if it is lack of training, extremely low standards or just indifference. It should be fixed. Some front desk personnel can be rude and not helpful. Customer service training needed or switch them out. Again, compare to the Nazareth YMCA, performance is very poor.

It is a beautiful and wonderful place to the right people. Upon entry, we are impressed with the building, the parking lot and the service desk and the very spacious lobby. Everything gives the aurora of a resort. the basketball court is NICE and clean. The bathrooms and family change rooms are nice. We did not try the machines. The drawback for us is the swimming pool. The room and water temperature is too not for training. For kids to play, there is no lifeguard on duty. Every piece of metal in the swimming area is rusty. The good part is that there are bicycles in the water for people to ride. Then i realized that it is called “Wellness Center”. Maybe it is meant for people to do therapy or recover or hang out. I hope the center could survive and prosper. I do not think it is for serious swimmers. but if you are close by, this center offers a lot of warmth and comfort and niceties like a Florida resort.

I love this place. It’s well worth the price for all the amenities they offer. Staff is always friendly, and they have a ton of classes to join. They also have an indoor warm therapy pool and hot tub which is amazing when your back hurts. I highly recommend this gym to anyone. The only downside is their guest program, you can only bring the same guest once every 60 days or purchase a two day guest pass for 50$. Everyone that I’ve encountered in the gym is friendly both early morning and later at night.

I love Valley Wellness center. The outdoor pool is usually pretty full during weekends, I prefer indoor pool for swimming. Sauna and locker rooms are clean and well maintained

We just started our membership this week. So far, it seems pretty nice. It's a bit more pricy than regular box gyms, but they have 2 indoor pools, an outdoor pool for the summer, hot tub, sauna and steam room. Plus a basketball court, pickle ball, a golf simulator(extra $), amongst other amenities.
