Best Gym near Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

This place charge me a late fee after I had fraud committed on my ATM card and I was one day late, When I pay, they said they would cancel the late fee, but they didn’t. They lied and now two days later I’m stuck paying a late fee. Been a loyal member for three years. This is BS. I’m on disability dying of cancer. What a bunch of D’s!

This place is humongous, the biggest Planet Fitness I've been to. In addition to the expansive main equipment area for cardio and resistance workouts, there is a separate partition for stretching, and additional areas for the 12 minutes abs, and 30 minute circuit. Then there's the relaxation zone for pampering: nearly a dozen horizontal and vertical tanning rooms, 1 red light therapy room, 2 hydro-massage beds, and 2 massage chairs. I've been to half a dozen fitness establishments including the Y, New York Sports Club and LA Fitness, but this is by far the cleanest facility ever. The locker room doesn't smell, the shower curtains aren't moldy, the vanity tops are constantly being wiped. I'm really impressed how PF emphasizes on the cleanliness of its facilities. This is also the only gym I've visited where there are separate dressing rooms inside men's locker room. Sure there's no swimming pool nor sauna or steam room which I always look forward to using whenever I'm given the opportunity, but for $10 per month, what they do offer is still a bundle of values that's unbeatable. Aside from the purple theme, what I absolutely don't like about this PF is the location. I literally dread the ingress traffic from the Carlisle Pike approach which's often backed up all the way to the 581 ramps, and the egress out of the Sporting Hill Rd where I need to be aggressive exiting out of the strip mall. Given that the best time for my workout is right after work when the conditions go from bad to worse, the stress that I'd have to endure is an absolute deal-breaker for me. If your schedule and/or route can circumvent this, you should absolutely take advantage of this nice facility.

Hadn't been to PF in a while and was pleased to see the equipment was in great shape. Lots of variety in types of weighlifting equipment, multiples of each machine so there was no wait, clean and organized.

Absolutely unacceptable customer treatment, cancelled my membership and three months later got charged for it after not going to the gym once; serious scammer tendencies by the person/manager who did this.

The Planet Fitness in The Hampden Plaza is by far my favorite. Christian and his staff make you feel welcomed and have to trouble jumping in and lending a hand if unsure what exactly to do, the atmosphere is very welcoming.

We had our son's 3rd birthday party at MyGym over the weekend. Kylie and Alyssa did a fantastic job hosting! They had a great mix of structured games and free play. They made every child feel special. It's a safe place for children & minimal cleaning/setting up = worth every penny! We will most definitely be having additional birthday parties at My Gym!

We 💜 MyGym! My daughter has been going since about age 2 and she’s loved every class! She’s now 4 and the classes have grown with her through every phase and stage. The facility is always clean, the staff is amazing with the kids, and the whole team is super responsive when we have questions. Honestly cannot say enough good things!

The facility was the perfect place to have our wild 2 year olds birthday party. The staff that worked our party, Madison and Kylie, were so sweet and amazing with the children! Worth every dollar to not have to stress over anything and the staff happily did it for us. We will be back, if not for a party then definitely for classes! Thank you to everyone at My Gym Mechanicsburg!

We’ve had both of my kids’ birthday parties here and they were amazing. The staff was very organized, energetic, and all of our guests raved about the great time their kids had. The equipment was very clean and they really make every effort to make your child feel special. We also love all of the classes offered. My Gym will always hold a special place in my family’s hearts.

If you are wondering if the money is worth it….. IT IS. We are a family that is able to attend multiple times a week. The set up changes weekly! My first daughter started around 3 years old and I wish we would have sooner. She loves the siblings and friends class best but also enjoys the open gym days. She can participate in the gymnastics classes if she chooses. My other daughter just turned 8 months. She officially joined recently and enjoys the music , puppet shows, balls and climbing around the gym mats, stairs and ball pit. She attends the sibling and friend class and open gym mainly. The waddlers class is nice but we rarely make it that early right now on a weekend. Check it out- they offer a trial week! - the brougher family

We were relieved that we gave CPAG a test run during the summer instead of committing to a full school year. Most notable is the impressively rude management. The majority of staff we encountered were cold or looked unhappy to be there, with few exceptions...a predictable trickle-down effect of poor management. Office staff appeared inconvenienced when asked for assistance. Facilities are underwhelming at best and unwelcoming to parents. I'm confident this place would be out of business if it had any type of competition nearby. Save your time or keep your expectations low.

I can’t say enough about Central Pennsylvania Academy of Gymnastics. I have a daughter with special needs. She was 3ish when we started signing up for classes. Her developmental delay wasn’t so obvious at the beginning but became more obvious as she got older. CPAG’s teachers were all amazing, positive, patient and so supportive. They went out of their way to keep her included in the group and actually had a shadow just for her to keep her focused (she also has ADHD) and on task. If I brought up an issue, they were very responsive. They were always willing to work with me. I’ll never forget calling them in tears because somehow I missed sign up. They worked magic to get her in. I was so grateful. They are really good people. The classes were great for her balance and strength as well as her confidence. They just do a spectacular job. I loved that place and was sad when my girl aged out.

I can only say great things about CPAG. The staff is tentative to the children and adept at teaching gymnastics. The kids just have blast of course! I also took notice to the many different skill levels- from very little ones to teenagers. This facility is one of the most diverse establishments in the Harrisburg area, and we love an all-inclusive place to trust our kiddos at! If you’re looking for a sport/hobby/(or just to tire them out) try CPAG!

My kids absolutely love CPAG!! The staff is so friendly and patient. You can tell they really care about the kids! My daughter wants to do her birthday party there next year! Very nice facility and always really clean for the gymnasts!

I went to have a look there with my kids, that old lady who meat us in front was extremely rude !! She actually raised her voice, and said I can see the website for info (which i did before i got there)!! Trying not answer my questions! And did not invite me to go inside and have a look which was the reason i came in the first place, (which I did, Alone!) In fact i think this is discrimination because of our race! And that sucks and very dangerous specially if she is teaching young kids !!! Professional staff is the way that make business running ! And if this was not the case of this place, its your lose!! I think its time for her to retire and leave us and our kids alone ! Lastly i did register my kids is another friendly gymnastics that will welcome kids and parents of all races

Love this gym! The quality inside is very nice and everyone is pretty friendly and lets you do your own thing. One of my favorite pieces of equipment is the cable machine that I use to work my triceps for a pulldown and extension, a killer workout! The two things I think that would make this gym a 5 star for me is some more maintenance on the equipment, the machines especially. Multiple pieces have some wear and tear on them and look a bit damaged, like the pectoral fly machine which has its chord attached to the plates disconnected from the metal pole that lets you select your weight. The other is someone greeting you at the door. I know most of the time whoever is at the front is usually cleaning around the area of the gym, but a friendly face greeting you would be a great way to start a workout and feel motivated to push yourself. All in all, great gym and I will be happy to keep coming back!

Very nice facility! I like the mixture of equipment from free weights to various machine. Free weights are usually my preference. Great value as well.

Awesome facility, got all the possible machines one would need for a great workout in and overall perfect condition for any kind of training 💪💪💪

They have a very clean facility, and the staff always seems to be working to maintain or improve it. There is a high variety of equipment (and plenty of it) to accommodate any workout. My personal favorite is the cable area (one of the two pictured). The staff is super friendly and welcoming! The price is reasonable and there are never overwhelming crowds. Would recommend this gym to anyone!

I tried for a few days to reach this gym and couldn’t get ahold of someone on the phone. When I arrived I was let in my another member. I told them I needed to see the inside of the gym before I wanted to purchase a guest pass without even being able to see what equipment was available. When I went inside I found that this place had been TERRIBLY taken care of, and was rarely staffed at all. Two of the stalls in the bathroom were out of order. The benches and seats are all falling apart in everything. And nothing was clean at all. The water in the water fountain tasted like the filter hadn’t been changed since 1978 and was probably a safety hazard to drink and the vending machines are empty. I left absolutely disappointed in what’s happened to this place. 0/10 recommend.

The staff at crunch is friendly, and very helpful. I've been working with Alec Stonesifer for the past six weeks. He has been very helpful getting me back to working out. I just started back to gym after 6years away. He's been very good at keeping me from going to hard since I just started back, and very helpful in rehabbing my old shoulders. The gym is always clean, and the equipment is maintained well. Would recommend Alec for anyone who wants to get back into working out, or need someone to help navigate all the information out there about diet etc.

Crunch in Mechanicsburg has become my favorite gym! Rick helped me so much today with a 360 body scan to see my progress since my last one was back in September. He helped me understand everything that it tracked and reassured me that I have made so much progress since my previous one which is always the best thing to hear especially when you’re doubting it. He made me feel like all the work I have been putting into the gym is showing greatly on the scan and gave me the motivation to keep going. He helped me understand that what I am doing is definitely on the right track. He was so helpful with everything especially when I needed that extra push to keep at my goals. The drive is about 40 minutes from where I live and the staff and kids club is well worth it. My kids love getting to go play while I get to focus on myself for a couple hours. It helps me get some free time to focus on myself while my children are well cared for by the kids club staff. If you’re looking for a new gym especially with a kids club Crunch in Mechanicsburg is definitely the right choice for you!

This place is downright the chillest and most friendly gym I’ve ever been to. The workers are sweet and you don’t get this overbearing gymtimidation while working out. The best part of the whole gym? My trainer Jamie C! She is the sweetest, most encouraging and caring trainer I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She’s easy to talk to, amazing to work with and a great listener. 10/10 highly recommend her.

I’ve been coming to Crunch for a few months and the gym has been great! The staff is always friendly and helpful and the facilities are well kept. I also have been doing personal training sessions with Nate G. He has been super helpful in setting up a plan for me to follow that fits my goals and plans. He also has helped me learn more about lifting methods and techniques that has been very helpful. I would highly recommend Nate as a trainer.

Highly recommend Jamie C as a personal trainer! This is my first time working with a trainer and I’m glad I found her! She’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient and supportive. She’s customized a fitness plan that works for me so that I look forward to doing it. She really is the best and Crunch is lucky to have Jamie C on their team!

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The equipment is sturdy and in good shape. The overall cleanliness of the gym is good! It is never overcrowded, and I never need to wait for a machine. The best part, after my workout, heading to the black card spa and getting a chair massage!

One of my favorite experiences going to the gym is the atmosphere that is created.. it’s free from judgement and the environment is friendly, fun and welcoming. One of the employees, De’shan, has been there since I started going to the gym. As I began my fitness journey, he’s always had a smile on his face, he is positive and encouraging. From the very beginning he was supportive, helpful and informative. Employees like De’shan help to create such a great environment within the gym. Along with bringing such a positive vibe to the place, De’shan is always working hard, every time I see him he is cleaning, ensuring that the gym is up to wonderfully kept standards, taking care of equipment and members in need. I’m thankful to have had such a positive experience at the gym and a lot of it is thanks to helpful employees such as De’shan. My hope is that his hard work and kind, positive attitude is recognized and appreciated.

Super clean gym! Very friendly people working there. De’Shan has s very polite and always ready to help. Also thanks to Mandi this facility is super clean and good vibe persists there. Keep up good work . Planet fitness is the best!

Signed up today. Overall great experience! Thanks to Elaina who is really amazing & helped me through out! Been to the other gym & the staff are not at all friendly to me but this location is very peaceful and staff is awesome. I just wish they are open 24hrs.

I’ve been going here since about the time they opened and I’ve been to a couple different Planet Fitness in the area. The reason I continue to go here (even though I started a new job recently further away) is because of the friendly staff and the very kept up with equipment. One person that stands out in particular is Thomas. Every time I go there, he always has a friendly smile, greets me and even knows me by name! Recently, on my way out of the gym, he looked at me and said “Hey man, I’m proud of you for staying so consistent and showing up”. That meant the world to me being on a fitness journey and losing 155 pounds so far. He (and the other staff members) are the reason I continue to use (and recommend) this location to anyone! Keep up the great work!

I've been a member for a year now and I have never felt this amazing... full of energy and I look forward to coming to every class. The coaches keep you motivated (which is important to me) I never imagined myself running but with guidance and instruction on how to I am now running thanks to all the awesome coaches at Orange Theory in Mechanicsburg!!!

My favorite place to be!! The best workout and team around 🧡 I feel motivated and energized during class! The coaches are all amazing. Kim, Marie, Lindsey, Kyle, Ally, Shea, Anna… I couldn’t pick a favorite! They are all so fun!

Great place to workout! I love that I don’t have to think of what I’m going to do-the daily templates are challenging and fun. All fitness levels can participate and dial to what you need. Awesome community and amazing coaches!

Positive: it was super clean! Negative: the workout was okay. I tried a class while looking for a place to workout while I spent time with my family in Pennsylvania. I prefer a yoga informed workout as I felt like I was at risk of inuring myself at Orange Theory. They also charged me for my first workout when they repeatedly said it was free, even when they had ALL my information, so not great. I also wouldn’t say it’s a good/welcoming place for LGBT+ people. In a conversation with a coach, they assumed my fiancée was a man. I don’t hold it against this coach, but it did give me the general vibe of the gym. Totally get it, this gym isn’t for me/my community, but I think it’s important for folks like me to be aware :)

Amazing coaches and workout templates! Coach Kim is super motivating and personable. I always leave feeling stronger (sweatier) and better about myself. Thank you, OTF!

We love Tyler and Matt! They give more than just tumbling instruction. Caring, encouraging, and dedicated to each student! Some of the best around!

The coaches and owners truly care about the kids. The facility is well equipped with a rod floor, tumble trak, and 2 full spring floors. They are Safesport certified. Progression of skills in a safe manner is stressed. A very positive environment and considering how expensive club sports are, Cheer Tyme is affordable. My daughter is on her 3rd season currently and would never consider going anywhere else.

Very disappointed in how everything was handled this year for Allstars. When they realized they didn't have enough athletes to fill a youth team, they didn't simply say "you didn't make the team" to allow families to find another gym. They put them in a level above their abilities and then kicked them out when they didn't perform to that level. Per the gym managers call "She would have excelled in a youth team." So instead of being disappointed but able to transfer to a gym with a youth team, we paid dues, uniforms, training gear, and months of practice for a random phone call 20 minutes before practice starts. Save yourself and your child the heartache of thinking they're not good enough and go to a gym that values their relationships with their athletes.

Our family has been part of Cheer Tyme for 3 years. All the coaches and staff are amazing! Classes are available for many stages/ages.

They have great coaches and my girls absolutely loved it there.

Pure Barre is a great full body workout. I’ve been sore in places I have never been sore before. The class goes by so quickly and I feel the burn for days. I really enjoy doing Pure Barre, it’s a unique workout that I look forward to. The studio is extremely nice, clean, and inviting. The instructors are helpful and encouraging through class. So glad this type of workout and this studio exists!

I started pure barre a month ago and am already in love! All of the instructors are super friendly and helpful! The gym is clean, and has a really nice vibe to it. I love that you can do a free week first to try it out before committing to anything. I definitely hope to keep coming!

I didn’t have a great experience with Pure Barre. I went to a free foundations class with my friend and as soon as it was finished we wanted to walk out of the door but they “unintentionally” stood in front of the door kind of blocking us from walking out in order to pressure us into the membership. We mentioned to them that we wanted to think about it but they still kept convincing and pressuring us into purchasing their membership. We were not given any cancellation policy to read or any terms and conditions to read and sign, they seemed like they just wanted our money as quickly as possible. We participated 1 month of the classes and both wanted to cancel until we were slammed in the face with a 30 day notice which is ridiculous! We had to pay again for another month and were not allowed to participate in any of the classes. Fast forward I got a call overseas from Pure Barre that my bank account is not letting Pure Barre to charge my recurring payments and the woman talking with me over the phone seemed to be quite rude about it too. Turns out my bank didn’t accept payments while I was traveling overseas. Fast forward I go to pay that bill even though I really wanted to save my 69$ and they slammed me with a 15$ dollar late fee for no reason (it was not mentioned anywhere) ! Overall not worth all of the hassle. Too much stress.

Pure Barre is an excellent workout for the whole body. Classes (especially at first) are pretty hard, but fully worth it! Classes are challenging but keep me wanting to come back and push myself. Every instructor I have had is so helpful and friendly. They offer modifications if you need it. I highly recommend Pure Barre Mechanicsburg, this studio is amazing!

Pure Barre Mechanicsburg is filled with so many friendly and supportive staff members as well as clients. The atmosphere is so welcoming, and you will get an amazing workout every time. The instructors are highly motivating and I love that they are able to accommodate any move based on an individual needs. I look forward to going to my workout after a long day of work to de-stress and clear my head. I try to get to my scheduled class early to browse the super cute selection of athleisure clothing! Come try a class you will not regret it!!!

I do private training with Shelly and she is amazing! She is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced and clearly spends much time planning each client’s workout. She makes training fun and different every time. She knows how to push and motivate her clients in a positive way. She has many years of experience in the fitness business and competes in bodybuilding competitions. Cannot go wrong with Shelly!

Found this facility after using their physical therapy. I have used their pool and now have used their personal training. Cody G. has done an excellent job introducing me to all a gym has to offer. He changes up the workout routines so I am not bored and eager to see what new challenges he has found for me. He makes sure to be supportive and keep me safe. I am making gains I did not think were possible. A special trainer at a special place. Thank you Elite.

After browsing through Facebook looking at local gyms for group training, I came across Elite. After inquiring through messenger, Shelly responded and decided to try the assessment special they had going on. Well she had me hooked after the first session, she definitely could tell where my issues were without me even telling her. It’s not about how many reps you can do, but all about correct form and that you are able to feel what you are suppose to work. I’ve had some good trainers in my life, but she is definitely at the top. I had told one of my workout buddies and he also did the assessment as well, but I think he said it best in describing Shelly “She had a way of making you feel like she was 100% invested in you”. It’s been almost six week doing the personal training, soon to start small group training as well and can definitely tell things are correcting itself, it takes a lot of determination, but know with Shelly’s help I’ll get there.

I discovered this facility after my PT and I have been member for five year. I have been training under Cody for one year, and he is very knowledgeable and challenges you. So far I really enjoy my workout. Thank Cody for making me feel strong.

i have been treated and this facility for over a year and a half. I was originally being treated for pain management on my spine. I, however, had a slight break in therapy and underwent a triple-bypass last March. The caring and professionalism of the staff, especially, Jereme Gross, PT and Nichole Pyles, PTA, aided me greatly in not only overcoming the pain associated with my spine, but has contributed markedly to my recovery from heart surgery. I cannot tell you the hundreds of patients that have benefited from the expertise of these two professionals.

The gym itself is in desperate need of updating a lot of their equipment. A lot of the equipment has rips in the backing and seats and the treadmills have plugs for iPods (that's how old they are). At my last training appointment there was a leak in the roof and there was water all over the floor. My first trainer was nice enough, but I felt like I was just a run of the mill client. I was hoping my trainer would show me how to breath effectively and help me along and explain why and what we are doing (etc). It's just like "here you go" and gave me barbells and just "do squats" after showing me once how to do them. Again, my trainer was nice enough, I just didn't feel like I got the training I was expecting for the price. For $50 more a month, I'm found a trainer with their own private gym, measured everything about my body (to show progress every month) and was way more motivating. Plus, the exercises that were suggested that I do at home were seriously long and difficult (for my level). If I could do all of this at home, why do I need a personal trainer? My second trainer (the first one left to go back to school) was even worse. I would get on some equipment and he would not even instruct me on how many reps he was expecting, etc. I would have to ask every time. Just not the experience I was expecting. Just a note, they only had 6 and 12 month agreements and I requested 3 months (no way am I getting locked in to a 6 month and finding out it's not a good program). They allowed me to sign up for 3 months.

Signing up with Performance Fitness Training is the best thing I have ever done for myself. Nate is an amazing trainer- knowledgeable, encouraging and fun! Every session is packed with nutrition tips - Nate practices what he preaches, makes you feel like he is on this journey to a healthier place with you. Nate is not only a Personal Trainer he is a sculptor! As the pounds melt away and the muscles are strengthened the new body slowly emerges under the guidance of “my personal sculptor”! Thank you, Nate! Aimee Sangrey

This is my first time to train, and I’m glad I made the investment. Although the trainers are quite a bit younger, they seem to know what I need. I didn’t realize how much it was actually helping me, until I spent a week helping take care of my grandson who weighs about 20 lbs. I had taken care of him a few months earlier when he was lighter, and it was so much easier this time. I had only been training a little over a month. I want to retain muscle as I age, and am now sold on the importance of this.

Let me start by saying, if I were to rate my personal trainer, Kobe, I would give him 5 stars, however the business itself absolutely deserves zero stars. I am not one to normally write reviews but wanted to warn anyone who is considering this business to stay away. I signed a 12 month contract in order to receive a discounted rate at each session (its like 4 dollars a session I believe) I asked the trainer who was signing me up if I could cancel anytime and he said yes but failed to mention I would need to pay 35% of what was left from my contract in order to get out of the contract which was over 1000 dollars, this is also not listed in the contract I signed. I assumed I would just pay the difference in the cost of the sessions if I did need to cancel as this would seem to make more sense and be more reasonable. I needed to get out because my schedule at work unexpectedly changed and I could no longer make sessions. I tried to explain my situation and the "customer service" representative asked if I ever read a contract and that the 35% fee was a courtesy as they should make me pay the full amount. She said that the business cannot be held responsible for me not comprehending the contract. The contract felt sneaky and non transparent to me and when I told her that,, she immediately said " let me stop you right there, it is not because I wrote it." I had 4 other people read it who also agreed that the wording was non transparent, she uses the word draft instead of payment and when I looked up the term, a bank "draft", It isn't even a debit card payment , it's something along the lines of a money order, It is a learning experience for me to read contracts more closely and to not trust anyone on their word. On top of everything. I didn't even use their nutrition services they offered because I have a degree in nutrition. This place needs to get with the times, stop offering contracts or at least be more open with customers ahead of time. If I was told this ahead of time, I never would've signed up and they knew that so they tricked me. I hope this helps someone avoid falling into the same trap. Also just found out crunch is almost 60 dollars cheaper per month (even with the discount they gave me for signing a 12 month contract) WITHOUT a contract and they also do body scans every 2 weeks. Hoping to have a much more positive experience there!

When I approached the owner of New York Fitness asking for a suggestion for a personal trainer to help me get on track with a disciplined fitness routine, he immediately said that meeting with Nate/PFT would be a good fit for me, and he was so right!! Nate developed a plan for upper body, lower body and core routines taking into account my age, osteo arthritis, and a knee replacement in my future. With each visit, he always first asks how my low back and knees are feeling and adjusts the routines if need be. He has helped me to be more disciplined as I do exercises at home and by also following a WW diet plan, I have reached my 25 lb weight loss goal. I am stronger now and even willing to do those darn planks when he asks me! Thank you Nate for caring!

Rich valley gymnastics, Mr. Grant and Mrs. Lori are the most wonderful, caring and beautiful souls! They love what they do, they are so sweet, and my 5 year old (she just had a birthday, yay!) looks forward to coming every time! They do fill up quick but they will keep you updated if a spot opens. I have been with them since last fall! It’s affordable and (I’m so sorry I don’t remember the other young man’s name) but you will always feel at home there. The kids have fun, they have a little snack and drink area (for super cheap), and it’s a cute little establishment. I’m honored to be here and continuing her time here; they are so sweet. The one star review(s) are bogus! ❤️ stay in communication with them; they are so flexible and will help you with your gymnastics needs! Iv seen a change in my daughter since she started, she’s happy. Forever and always, thank you guys! You gave my daughter something to strive for. (I apologize this sounds mushy, but I don’t know if they understand from our pov, how much they do. This may sound like an above and beyond comment but it’s absolutely true. You just may be honored to be part of the rich vally gymnastics family!)

I used to go as a child and now my two girls go. I love that they still have photos on the wall I can show me and my brothers as a kid doing gymnastics there. I also love that they get instructed by the same people. They put kids safety first and provide a fun and structured setting. They are always moving in class and working at their individual level. They also love the summer camps and want to attend every year.

classes are large and the kids get little one-to-one instruction. the instructors aren't super friendly - i'm pretty sure they wouldn't know which kid belonged to which parent. it seemed like if they knew you from some other time, they would talk with you, but otherwise nothing at all. the facility isn't super nice, very out of date, right up to the photos on the walls from 2013. two stars because my kid did really enjoy herself for a little while before deciding to stop going.

Inquired several time about classes. Always on a "waiting" list. More like a snub list. It's been 3 years. Guessing it isn't going to happen now.

We have had a wonderful experience and my daughter loves attending class!
