Best Gym near Painesville, Ohio

Great gym. The manager is very nice, I feel like he takes pride in keeping a clean and organized gym. Which I can appreciate. This location has all the equipment needed to workout all your muscles. It's worth checking out. I grew up in chesterland and normally attend the chesterland anytime or the Newbury one. I truly don't understand the bad reviews. This gym is awesome. Seriously, I don't know why there are bad reviews. It's fine here. It's clean!

Before signing a contract for this gym I think there are a few details you should be aware of. A few years ago this gym was bought by a company called Bandon-a company who owns a lot of gyms!! This is not a problem as long as you can manage the upkeep and staffing of your gyms. I joined almost 3 years ago. We pay a twice yearly maintenance fee for the upkeep and new equipment. Since I have been a member there has been nothing updated or new added at all. Other similar gyms in the area have newer equipment and almost all gyms are open 24 hours now. In addition when something breaks it is not fixed for a long time or at all. There used to be a great group of personal trainers here but there are only a couple left. The prices for personal training were greatly increased while the trainer salaries were decreased and no regard was given to experience or certification. The managers also make very little. No wonder the turn over is so high here. In addition NO classes are available -yet you still pay for them in your membership. By the way, be very careful signing your contract. Contracts can be extremely hard to get out of and there have been cases where they keep charging you even after you have terminated it or people have had fees raised when they were not supposed to be. These cases are usually worked out but it takes extra time and effort, especially when no one is in the office. You may wonder why I still go here besides my 3 year contract. The place is definitely clean (as clean as you can get old equipment and carpeting) and the people who go here and work here are AMAZING!!! The BEST!!! They are serious about working out and respectful. If you need help almost anyone would be more then willing (which is a good thing since personal training is crazy expensive and the office is rarely staffed because of high turnover). This gym has so much potential -unfortunately to grow a gym you need to invest in it and I personally don't feel like that is happening here. These are the pros and cons I think you should consider before you sign a contract at this gym.

When Anna Dey and her dad owned this gym it was nothing but amazing. Bandon has done a huge disservice to the gym and taken a thriving staple in the community and ran it into the ground. Management is atrocious, leadership is nonexistent and the employees are undervalued and severely underpaid. There are far better gyms in the area where members are still treated like family and personal trainers are paid more than minimum wage! I highly recommend that anyone who is considering joining this gym to run as fast as you can somewhere else. Planet Fitness, Fitworks, Upgraded Industries, YDM and Titans are all excellent options and I suggest doing your research before getting locked into a contract at Anytime….you’ll find that there are cheaper options with better equipment and classes offered! 😊

I have been a member of this gym for three years now and it continues to go down hill! I love the other members of this gym, but this is the only reason that has kept me there. Twice a year we pay membership fees that are supposed to be for new equipment and over the last three years there has been nothing new added. Also, when some of the equipment breaks it is either not replaced or takes a long time to be replaced. Equipment is also often missing. I have actually had to go out and buy my own bands and pads for the barbell because they are somehow missing. They should be ashamed of the cables on some of the machines. They look like they are going to break and someone could really get hurt. On several occasions I have contaced the managers to discuss why my member ship cost went up. I was told by the last manager that it shoudnt have and he would take care of it. He never did and each month I am charged the increased price. Most recently I reached out to the gym and was told by email it would be sent to the owners and now a month later still no response. I will say the gym is clean because the cleaning crew does a great job! I am often there while they are cleaning and cant say enough good things about them, but the carpet is disgusting and smells. This is not a reflection of the cleaning people. It's just filthy and has probobly never been cleaned. If someone would have appropriately followed up with me about my membership I would not have written this, but it just goes to show they must not care about the gym or members. I am not the only member considering finding a new gym and there are several other 24 hour gyms in the area

Cassandra was very engaging and assisted me with my membership update. Haven't been since before covid. Good to be back in a very user friendly club. Very comfortable and feels like you're working out in a private facility.

One of the best YMCA’S in north east Ohio I love the locker room space, weight room, gym and the steam room. The jacuzzi is the perfect temp and the pool is the perfect size. I will definitely be back one of my favorite gyms to visit 👍🏻

Had a membership here for a long time, brought my kid here for pre school/daycare. They were aware that my son has a disability as he is on the spectrum. After barely two weeks and many phone calls home along with missed work they turned him away because he has a hard time with transitions basically. On top of this the staff recommended a school for “kids like him” that is permanently closed. I feel like my son was basically discriminated against because of his disability. All I got back from them is “It’s not fair to the other kids.” Well what’s not fair now is having to try to explain to a 4 year old why his school didn’t want him. Would never recommend this place they do not care about those with disabilities.

Instructional pool use to be open between the hours from 11 to 1 for little kids. Now it has late hours and in afternoon when there are a lot of school age children making it hard for the under 5 crowd

Wonderful center for the community. Received a great tour by Matt. Registration is nice and easy. It's beautiful , neatly organized. I love the fact that my son was able to take a pool safety class here with his classmates. All my questions were answered, so many things to do. Staff is professional following Covid Guidelines. Keep up the great work! Excited to return! Highly Recommended!

I love the family environment of the ymca. My kids can maintain a healthy lifestyle here and workout which is so important for them!

Tripoint Athletics is my favorite place to go to workout. Not only are the workouts perfect for me goals of building muscle while also building my cardiovascular endurance, the support I receive from the Coaches and the community feel from the other athletes in the gym is amazing. Also, the schedule is very accommodating for my schedule. I can hit the 6:00 am class or even Noon or an afternoon class if I want.

I have been a member at TriPoint Athletics for a couple of years now. There are many things that keep me coming back to this gym. The workouts are tough and make you push yourself, which I love. They are always different and aim at working on different parts of the body. Everyone at this gym is at a different fitness and strength level. The gym accommodates all these different levels so well. The trainers are upbeat, encouraging and helpful. The members; we laugh together, encourage each other, are sore together and support each other in and outside of the gym as well. The trainers and members aren’t just there to teach and workout, but we are there for each other. We talk about our everyday lives and are there for one another, not just at the gym, but outside of the gym as well.

I have been going to TriPoint Athletics for more than 3 years, and I absolutely love it! The coaching and programming is approachable and excellent. It is scalable for all - from beginners to elite athletes to old guys, like me. :) I highly recommend it if you are looking for a change in your fitness plan or looking to get started again. The people make all of the difference - the friends I have made are some of the best I have ever had, and all are super supportive in the gym and out. If you are considering trying it out, don't hesitate!

I joined this gym 4 months ago as a person who is brand-new to CrossFit. The coaches are very kind and welcoming, and create an environment where all skill levels can easily participate. This gym has made me more consistent with my workout routine, and I will be purchasing an annual membership to continue my progress here.

Everyone here is very welcoming. It’s definitely like a little community of people who have similar goals and help you push yourself to achieve yours too! I highly recommend Tripoint Athletics!! Whether you want a punch pass, twice a week, three times a week or unlimited membership. They have a variety to help YOU!

I love illumin8 we are a family. The Reiki teachers are awesome I just became a Reiki 1practioner a couple of months back. I enjoy the Reiki share with Suzanne, Danielle along with Jordan these are awesome reiki masters and #2practioners. And Miss Patti Lombardois a wonderful owner.

I heard about Reiki years ago, but never gave it much thought. I honestly would probably have never given it a try if it weren't for the fact that I got to know Suzanne Brooks from the gym where we both workout. Suzanne is one of the sweetest, most sincere person you will ever meet. She truly cares about people. She has such loving energy. So when she suggested I try a session, of course I said I would. I went to a couple of group sessions a while back, which were wonderful ( kinda fun to do it with a group of people, especially when at least one is a friend). I just did a one on one session with her for the first time & wow! Even better! The calmness and peacefulness that begins to envelope you from the moment you walk into her "special room". The lighting, the sounds of nature, low calming sound of peaceful "music". You begin to feel your stress & anxiety start to dissipate immediately. That's just the beginning. You are fully clothed, special pillows & blankets are used with a very light touch. You feel cared for in a way that a loving mother might have given you as a child. For that one hour, you are truly worry free, peaceful & safe. If you've never tried Reiki, now is the time. Especially if you're not a massage person, (like my husband) but he did a Reiki session and loved it. ( and he was a total skeptic). So don't wait another minute, you will truly be amazed! A.K.A.

Suzy is AMAZING! I've had a reiki session with her as well as participated in her guided meditation reiki and sound bath class and have found both very relaxing. Her reiki room is calming and made me feel comfortable, but the best part is Suzy's wonderful energy that radiates from her.

When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer back in February, I knew I wanted to not only fight it medically but also mentally and spiritually. I knew I had to get my mind right so that I would have a great outcome. That's when I researched and found out about reiki. I found Illumin8 and read reviews to figure out who to see. I came across a ton of great reviews about Suzanne Brooks! So I knew I had to see her. I started seeing her in March and let me tell you I truly believe I wouldn't have made it through all my treatment and recieved such an amazing outcome without her. She always knows exactly how to recenter me through the fear and anxiety. If you are looking for guidance or are on an healing journey, getting reiki with Suzanne is exactly what you need!

I have had Suzanne Brooks as my Reiki master for around 1 year and would not want anybody else. She is very professional and is always focused on what serves you and how she can benefit your spiritual health. I appreciate her genuineness and sincerity. Suzanne is the best.
