Best Gym near Mason, Ohio

Lifetime is perfect. It’s so clean, spacious with skilled trainers, the nicest staff, state of the art latest machines for cardio and weights with so many options, it’s incredible. I haven’t learned it all yet. The gym isn’t a gym, it’s a safe place, a club. A home away from home. A community. If you’re serious about training, there’s motivation, accountability and equipment. It’s super clean, it has everything you could possibly need. It’s comfortable and luxurious. The bathrooms are equipped with towels, shampoos, conditioners, body washes, body lotions, shaving cream, razors, Qtips and lots of hair dyers. If you need it in your daily life, they have it. Clean floors, cushy mats, weights are top notch. You could spend your whole day here. Classes, weights, cardio, two swimming pools, sauna and steam rooms. And a cafe for coffee, tea ( they have a chai which is better than Starbucks) energy drinks, smoothies, protein bars, whey proteins, salads, sandwiches and muffins baked fresh every morning. My favorite part is the staff. Patrick the new owner makes it a point to get to know every single member and he has spent hours talking about the gym and its amenities to all. I feel like like a VIP. I can’t mention all the staff members because they are so many. They genuinely care and are very interested in their members. I can’t write everything here, you have to come to visit for the day and see for yourself. I hope to spend the rest of my life at Lifetime. And I hype these photos show you why….

I had an exceptional experience at Lifetime Fitness Cincinnati, and I want to give a special shoutout to Alex at the front desk. Even though she was incredibly busy, she took the time to help me sign up my partner. Despite the rush, Alex remained patient and provided clear, detailed explanations about the membership. Her professionalism and dedication are truly commendable. Thanks to her, our sign-up process was smooth and pleasant. Kudos to Alex and the entire team for their excellent service!

We had my nieces 6th birthday party here and the attention to detail was absolutely incredible. We chose the pool/rock-wall party and added on the balloon arch, the arch was absolutely adorable. Micheal and Anna were amazing party hosts and did absolutely with the kids. Thank you so much for the wonderful party!!!

With the exception of a few years after I retired, I have been a member of the Mason location since it opened. Over the years, I have witnessed numerous endeavors to improve the facility for the benefit of its members. Each time we, as members, enjoyed the benefit of those efforts. However, never have I seen such a significant improvement as the result of Patrick managing the facility. I cannot say enough about the ‘attention to detail’ his staff exhibits as they conduct their daily tasks. From the time you walk into the facility to the time you leave; your experience is gratifying. Thank you for being a valuable part of our community!

I’ve been a member for over 10 years at Lifetime. I’m not sure what has happened over the past few years but they are going downhill by the day. The gym itself is absolutely stunning but the staff will make you move to a different gym. You’d think paying 100$ a month would give you good customer service. Wrong. Most of Staff are rude, unprofessional, and discriminatory, make you feel like a freak if your not white with money. I was told by one staff member that I could stretch wherever was needed as long as there weren’t any classes taking place. I started to stretch by the treadmills away from classes. I wish I knew the lady’s name but she’s a shorter older woman with blonde hair I think she’s a trainer. She told me I was in the way of her class and that I needed to move when I was nowhere near and proceeded to argue with me telling me to move when I wasn’t even in the radius of the class taking place. Sherman at the front desk is discriminatory towards middle eastern people with displays of antisemitism as he always has an attitude with me. I’ve spoken to many members who feel the same to the point where we have considered filing a mass complaint. In addition to this they gas the price every other month just for the hours and quality to decrease. I’ve spoken with staff who have also expressed that they aren’t treated any better, I don’t care how nice the gym is: no amount of money can buy morals and ethics. I’ve tried to give so many chances but I’m so disappointed with how downhill lifetime has gone. I switched to la fitness and haven’t looked back.

Very nice facility with lots of workout options. I love that the gift shop also has a post office. I go at least once a month for the infusion clinic and to see my doctor, which is so convenient. .

A decent facility, but seems more like an overrun daycare center than a recreation center. A lot of children running around unsupervised. Where are their parents? A child in the basketball court started knocking the basketball out of other children’s hands without knowing the children themselves. Another kid dropped liquid on a stranger’s clothing in the locker room. This all happened in one evening. None of their parents were around. Good luck trying to get a decent workout knocked out.

I have lived in Mason for 23 years. I used to go to the Rec in high school and middle school. Today, I decided to visit the Rec with five buddies. When we arrived, we were met by the “gatekeeper of hell.” I understand the need to ensure everyone pays, and that’s fine, but there’s no need to be overly strict about it. In the end, we got in, but I will never come back or recommend it to anyone. (The woman was old with glasses she acted like a straight Karen Nazi)

Great fireworks display and music for the 4th. Lots of things for the kids. I would have given a 5, but the lines were so long for food and beverages so I ate nothing. The planners need to plan better next year because less revenue changes hands when people are standing in line!

Sym-bi-o-sis, at Mason community center. They are always gracious to everyone who enters. I love the quality of their items for sale, and I always find beautiful gift selections for friends and family.

Hosted a birthday party and experience was good overall. Many activities for kids to enjoy. The birthday room area was warm and could use some cheer.

We hosted our 5-year-old’s birthday party here and had a fantastic experience. Special thanks to Brad and Leena for their attentive care of the kiddos.

Awesome place for kids and families wanting gymnastics, tumbling, and ninja warrior classes/teams. Adding new class options.

We did competition gymnastics with them, and I had several conversations throughout the year with the coach about her methods because it was heavily affecting my daughter’s self-esteem and confidence. Her coach kept brushing it off, even suggesting once that my daughter was lying, and I decided to involve the owner of the gym. He was incredibly condescending, and when we said we wouldn’t be coming back next year, he said “In my experience, it’s the girls that aren’t any good that quit”, along with a couple more unkind generalizations about the young women that are supposed to be in his care. In short, the coaches are inflexible, apparently only know one coaching method, and are not willing to work with their athletes if their “tough love” (read: emotionally manipulative and borderline verbal abusive) tactics don’t work. Their athletes are simply paychecks to them. Now we’re at a new gym that invites conversation with their clients and seems to care about their athletes’ mental health as well as their physical health.

Our 5 year old son went for the trial ninja class and was yelled at the whole time. They made it seem like he was a burden to the class but let all the other kids do whatever they wanted. The coach Oliver preceeded to pick up my son and move him from station to station without asking me. Overall experience was horrible I will not be enrolling my son in the class and wouldn't recommend this place or coach. I have been to other ninja places with my older son and they never yelled at the kids and were organized and welcoming.

Great studio! I went to my first two OT classes ever at this location and immediately became hooked. Coaches Cori and Chase are fabulous and make hard workouts so fun. Chelsea is wonderful and helpful in figuring out what kind of membership you want. Go - you won't regret it!

I have been attending OrangeTheory Fitness at Mason for almost 2 years and it has step-changed my fitness level. Whether you are looking to lose weight, run faster, or build strength - Orange Theory will help you meet your goals. The entire team here - from the owner, management, front desk, and the coaches - are top notch. The coaches will get to know you, understand your goals, and help push you beyond what you thought you could do. The entire community (staff + members) is awesome and everyone, no matter fitness level or age, will find themselves at home! The team also maintains a fun atmosphere with corporate-sponsored contests as well as social events. If this is your first time trying group fitness, or if you are nervous - don't be. Try out a class for free and see if it'll work for you!

OTF Mason is the best! I never even thought about doing a group fitness class until I met Coach Kate at an event. She convinced me to try a free class, and I couldn’t be more thankful! It has been great for both my physical and mental health. The coaches are so friendly and motivating. Awesome workouts and amazing staff!

The OTF staff is awesome at the Mason location. I recently joined in early July, and have enjoyed meeting other members, as well as taking classes with the different coaches - they are all so great! No matter your skill level, it’s a great environment to get active and reach your goals.

I have been a member of Orange Theory Mason for about 2 years after transferring my membership from another studio. Though the Orange Theory workouts are the same at any studio in the world on any given day, the people at the Mason studio make this place better than any studio I’ve been to in and out of the area. The coaches all try to get to know you and your individual fitness goals and really do work to help you achieve those goals. I haven’t found any other workout that I’ve been able to consistently stick with for this long and I love it (almost) every time!

I normally go to and have a membership at a different location, but I come here when my regular studio is unavailable on those very rare occasions. The teachers, staff, and students are very kind. Each studio is unique, but all of the workouts are both fun and very challenging! This is an excellent alternate studio for me, to ensure that I will never miss a Pure Barre workout!

I took the Breast Cancer Awareness class at Sonder Brewing with Pure Barre and it was great! I loved the instructor, and it was so nice to be moving outside. Pure Barre is a tough workout, it definitely takes some practice to get the hang of it. I haven't made it into the studio yet, but plan on going soon!

PBM is the ONLY workout I've stuck with for a long period of time! I struggled to find a workout I actually enjoyed for a long time, but since joining PBM 2 years ago, I've finally found a consistent workout that still challenges me and has made me much stronger. The teachers and other team members are all so great too! They communicate what's going on at the studio, especially during tough and uncertain times. I was recently really happy to see they are being proactive about client health & safety by offering online classes that will still count toward our challenges!

I am a Neuromuscular Therapist and very excited to have been introduced to Pure Barre Mason. This workout is the first I've ever done that focus' on the muscle attachment points to truly create a nearly perfect body. I'm very pleased to be teaching my 42 year old muscles how to reshape and refine themselves!! It's truly been and continues to be an amazing experience. I tell every client that enters my office about it.

It’s not cool to continuously call someone and try to get them into a class. Treating your potential customer like they have dementia isn’t a great way to get them to join. It’s a great way to annoy them. I have received a call from you guys 5 times in about a week. Even calling once isn’t okay.

My daughter hasn't cheered with Prestige yet but she currently does their tumbling program and LOVES it! The instructors are so good with her and have definitely helped her learn new things. I highly recommend them!

Owners, coaches, athletes and parents are all like family! Love Prestige 🖤🖤

Granddaughter takes competitive cheer there. Great staff.

Best obstacle park I know in Cincy, lots of fun. Huge shelter and lots of open space. Recommend for kids and adults who like to monkey around at the park.

Awesome and beautiful park Lots of fun playground sets for the kids and even bigger kids to enjoy!

Visited as a simple & curious customer but was immediately turned off by the rude owner. Maybe he was having a bad day but his ridiculous drill sergeant approach might work for those that need the beatdown but I got that 40+ yrs ago. The guy does look in excellent shape but the “gym” seems to be a dismal & dreary place.

I have been training with Travis since Jan 6, 2020. It was time for some lifestyle changes and based on recommendations, I contacted him. He is very knowledgeable in nutrition and fitness, so my diet is pretty strict calorie wise ( as of the review, i am limited to a max of 1500 calories a day) but I am never hungry. Working with Travis in the gym is hard, but rewarding, and he pushes you to the limit in a very positive way. So far I have lost 40 lbs. if you are looking for a great , affordable trainer, Travis is the man you want to hire!

Travis cares about his clients Goes above and beyond to make sure we are getting the correct information for our body types. He is very informed about the body and how it works together with proper nutrition and muscle mass. I highly recommend him to be your trainer if you are in the market for one. He is extremely good.

I have been working out with Craig for about 7 years, on and off. He is the best in the business. I have come a long way since I started. Custom Fit offers group workout sessions or private, which is a great alternative if you need support from friends to motivate you. I always enjoy my workouts, and Craig is extremely knowledgeable on all things fitness related. There is always a way to adapt an exercise to accommodate injuries or trouble areas. I hope to be able to keep going there for years to come. You can't go wrong!

I have been working out with Travis since 2017, so far the best result I received was from him. I got transformed! The best thing from him is his method really works! I lost 26 lbs and gained muscles. No matter how I feel even sometimes whining, he always got something for me to keep me going. He listens to his clients, because he really cares!
