Best Gym near Chambersburg, Pennsylvania

One front desk staff member lady was very condescending and ego tripping on me over an extremely minor misunderstanding of which door to go through… *Update haven’t seen that lady since and everyone else is awesome!* In another instance I forgot my slides and newly purchased shirt, I called in to ask my items to be placed in the lost and found, they had closed or refused to answer phones 10 minutes early(before closing). I call back next day, the guy can’t leave the front desk and had no other staff that could verify my items just downstairs, understandable but disappointing. 2 days later I get a call from the fitness director telling me my shirt has been stolen but my slides are here if I want them. Turns out they were stolen as well. I’ll always appreciate all YMCAs as a resource nevertheless.

This place is pretty ridiculous for the amount of money you spend on it. They're constantly begging for donations and the rates to attend the place is ridiculous, yet everything is always broke. Would really like to see where all the money goes because it's definitely not to the amenities. It's 2024 can we please get rid of the group shower and naked old men just running around freely. A shower is not social hour. I would like to shower in peace alone

Summer program for middle school and elementary school children was OK, but not impressive. Ideally they would target more organized games, athletics, and activities, however they didn't really have much planned out for so many kids. Priced well for parents, but almost every activity wasn't really included, it was priced out so they would just take kids there. They didn't do a great job either of telling parents when they were going on activities so you could plan, but then have to provide extra money so they could participate. Somewhat disappointing.

I love this place! The facility is top notch and so are the employees. I want to give special recognition to April Braxton, Cody, Diane Sheffield and Erica Ragno. They have been exceptionally helpful and welcoming. Being that I'm new to the area I've treated the Y as a sanctuary. It's a great place to meet the best people in chambersburg and they also have every sort of gym equipment and sporting apparatus you could think of.

There is definitely something for everyone here, even my little one! She is in the discovery center and it is really great. The teachers are phenomenal and I am so happy that we realized they had a preschool program available. Between that and the gym we spend a lot of time here.

Wonderful place. Calm, serene. Oasis. And...terrific coffee and muffins. Big thumbs up.

Oh my where to begin! She is a treat to talk to and her husband is wonderful! They are just warm and bubbly when it comes to their store and attitudes. I'll be back.

It's wonderful place for great gifts.... The owners are awesome

If you don't look like a typical metaphysical shop customer expect to be treated coldly and with suspicion

I had never received a massage before, and had let other gift cards expire because I was just too nervous to go. My husband knew I'd trust Lauren and got me a gift card for Christmas. It was the most heavenly hour ever! A must have experience that I plan to repeat as soon as possible!!

Went to the men's basketball game! Packed and so much fun!

Women's Volleyball

My daughter has enhanced her cheer and tumbling skills significantly in such a short amount of time. From starting a year ago and not being able to complete a cartwheel, to fully executing and accomplishing her cartwheel, back walk over, back hand spring, front hand spring, and even being a flyer in multiple stunts. I am truly pleased and forever grateful for this gym and all they have assisted my daughter with in her cheer career! Go DIVINE!

Best fitness center/health club in classes, instructors, and facilities compared to Chicago, DC, NJ, NYC, ….

Staff is very friendly and helpful. Clean facility. Variety of classes offered throughout the day. The pool and whirlpool are a huge plus. Very reasonable membership fee. Overall great gym!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean facility. Aqua instructors are knowledgeable, provide variety and make exercising fun! Cost/ memberships are very affordable.

Great gym! Was visiting Pennsylvania this week for work and wanted to maintain my workout program. As a hardcore weightlifter. I needed a proper gym to workout in. This gym exceeded my expectations. The owner's hospitality was appreciated and really made me feel welcomed. It felt like he actually got know me some (in case you read this, it's Anthony who likes the Panthers!). Also you can't beat $25 for an entire week at the gym. I recommend this gym if you're visiting Chambersburg or even if you live here permanently.

I have access to three different training facilities and this one is truly clean. I enjoy the sauna and steam particularly when my joints begin to ache. I still carry out the five day circuit training routine that Chris Ann developed for me years and years ago.

I'm am not an athlete and never have been. But Powertrain has made me go from "yeah I'm not gonna work out because nothing really works " to " I am going 5 days a week and loving it". The few times I have had any concerns about what I am doing in my work outs, they found alternative ways for me to do the exercise that I was not afraid to do. Jonathan and Dennis are tops! I love my early morning crowd. I'm in my 50s and if I had this kind of help in my teens I would have embraced exercise earlier. I have achieved my little goals and seen results from the work. They must be doing something right. I do what they teach me and they are there to support me. Thanks so much! You get what you pay for and what you work for.

I started training at PT about 4 years ago. When I started I had never weight trained and hadn’t completely recovered from a knee surgery I had in 2014. Power Train has helped to strengthen not only my knee but my entire body.

This gym is so amazing. They helped me achieve my weight goals so I could join the military. If I wasn’t stationed so far away I would’ve continued staying with them. I appreciate all of their time! I definitely miss the environment.

Great place to get an early workout in with either personal training or Boot Camp!

Amazing place to train. I love the trainers. I love the people. The trainers know when to give you that extra push we all need sometimes. I went Powertrain to see if I could lose some weight and I am down 70 pounds so far so I have to keep pushing towards my goal and with my trainers in my corner I will get there.

I have worked with Melissa since 2012 and have never regretted choosing to work with someone like her that is educated in all facets of fitness and training. As a runner, Melissa not only worked with me to develop quick feet on the trails, speed and endurance on my long runs, but also worked on my full body fitness so that I was not only strengthening my legs, but also my upper body, core and all things in between. Over the years as my roles in life have changed, Melissa has thankfully been a consistent force. The body strength acquired from the early sessions nicely transferred over to my role as caregiver to aging parents and grandchildren. Without Melissa’s instruction and guidance over the years, I would not have been able to perform the strenuous physical (and mental) tasks that come with that role (without injury). As I approach 60 years old, I can’t tell you the number of times I silently thank God for placing Melissa in my life. Her encouragement to always be my best self and push forward has been invaluable! I look forward to my twice weekly sessions with her to better equip me to continue to be active without injury!

Solid training experience…Melissa is educated, knowledgeable, experienced and fun to work with! She’ll correct your form as you go so you don’t learn doing the exercises the wrong way….which I have a bad habit of doing. She also wrote me a great custom program for strength training…highly recommend!

Melissa helped with my strength training while ensuring that I did not further damage problem areas in my shoulder and neck. She is always concerned about proper form to decrease the chance of injury. I would highly recommend her.

Strength Endures have incredible personal trainers. They go above and beyond so all clients have efficient and fun work out sessions. They work with a large range of clients from improving mobility to custom professional athlete programs. No matter where you are in your fitness journey, Strength Endures is eagerly ready to take you to the next level! I trust them with planning all workouts and consulting on nutrition. Highly recommend!!

Love working with Melissa!! She is so knowledgeable, focusing on form and continuing to challenge you. Thank youelissa for keeping us healthy!!

Front Porch Fitness is my happy place! Over the years it has been my favorite way to start the day. There’s so much positivity and encouragement from the other members and the trainers. Donnie is an amazing owner and trainer and all of the other trainers are exceptional as well! Special shout out to Lara, Sterling, and Christy who wake up early for the first class of the day. They take personal interest in each member and are so knowledgeable about training and keeping your body healthy. If you aren’t comfortable training in a group, Front Porch Fitness trainers offer personal training as well. My favorite class is the 5:30 am class (morning people are the best!) but there are other times throughout the day and you can choose what works for you. Stop by and check it out!

FPF is great! All the trainers are top notch! I enjoy the group fitness aspect the most. If you are looking for a fitness community this is it!

Front Porch Fitness (FPF) deserves all the acclaim it receives. This place has been a game changer in my life. I’ve been attending for over a year and have grown so much under the tutelage of the trainers. The impact on my physical and mental health has been phenomenal. The members of FPF are amazing. I look forward to attending bootcamps and personal training sessions. FPF could run a masterclass on how to establish a positive culture. Four months after my initial review, this place continues to rock! Since, without changing the scheduled regular bootcamps, they have added special classes on Saturdays that have been excellent (DEKA and lift heavy). These classes are top notch. I continue to be so impressed.

Front Porch Fitness is a gym in its own league! It is stacked with knowledgeable staff that help guide you on your fitness journey! They take pride in their relationship building as well as pushing you to become the best, physically and mentally! My husband and I have seen major gains since joining in April 2023 and continue to enjoy challenging bootcamps. No matter your fitness goals, Front Porch Fitness will be there to help you reach them and beyond!

If you’re a beginner in the gym looking to start your fitness journey or a trained athlete looking to advance, FPF is for you! The trainers here are easily approachable, knowledgeable, and eager to help everyone at all fitness levels!
