Best Gym near Phoenixville, Pennsylvania

I have been a member at the Phoenixville YMCA for almost 30 years. The basketball courts are in horrendous condition. With the increased costs in membership fees you would think they would make cleanliness and safety a priority. When camp is finished the staff pushes piles of trash and debris underneath the basketball rims and it stays there till closing time. The courts have so much dust and dirt on them that you cannot get traction and slip. It really is a safety hazard. The nets on the rims are always ripped. Children’s clothes from camp are scattered throughout the gymnasium. Food and liquids are stuck to the court. It’s despicable. Whoever is in charge of managing the facility is doing a terrible job. And this is a problem being voiced by many members. We pay our hard earned money to be members at the YMCA and we expect the facilities to be in good condition. This is unacceptable. Make the necessary changes and please correct this problem.

I love this location because of the gymnastics class and pools! Facility is always clean and there's just an upbeat vibe every time I go.

This Phoenixville YMCA center is not good at all due to the way it is handled by the management. There is a huge variation between the YMCA spring valley and this one. Very unorganized and pathetic staff and trainers. I don’t recommend this center at all for its way of operations. Staff does not seem to be qualified especially the swimming. I would never look back again to the Phoenixville center. Very bad.. disappointing.

We swung by phoenixville Y one day, instead of our home Y that we have been going to for years, and have kept coming for the last 6 months! The entire staff really make the difference. From the front desk to the pool to the gym to group classes to the kidzone. Everyone is SO friendly, helpful and happy vibes. There’s the same but less equipment than other locations but it’s never too crowded like some other locations.

LOVE THIS BRANCH!!! Unlike the overpriced(the charge for outdoor pools), ignorant, and uninformative Ambler branch that limits when you can bring guests until 4pm, like people don't work, Phoenixville (DID I MENTION I LOVE THEM?!) let's you bring guests WHENEVER! They have several different pools, very clean facilities, and the SWEETEST most helpful staff. My personal favorite! Worth a drive ✅

I love going there I go at least 5 days of the week, very first time I walk in with small hand punching pad bcoz I like to kick and punch since I am a martial art person, staff said I am not allowed to take that small hand punching pad , why? It is just a sponge I wish I can take that with me Or they provide one at the gym

I started my membership and have been a member of this location for more than 5 years with not many complaints. It is a well-maintained gym with sufficient equipment. I had to move recently and wanted to cancel my membership. When I tried it in-person the first time the system was down and they wanted me to try again later. I called and checked and they said I could do it in-person only and I can cancel it anytime before the monthly payment ran. Despite moving and having to drive again for more than an hour to get there, I was told I should cancel at least 10 days before the payment schedule date. If not, they will charge the membership for another month. I was told something completely different by the person on the phone when called. I tried to reach out to the manager and despite constant emails, I haven't even gotten a response or acknowledgment email till date. Wish I didn't have to leave such reviews, but this might help someone else thinking of canceling their membership to do it well in advance or else be ready to pay another month even if not using.

Have been a member for 4+ years and highly recommend. It is clean, quiet and well-maintained. All resistance machines are brand new as of November 2022. They have a ton of cardio equipment including treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, stair climbers and rowing machines. Even at peak times there are plenty of cardio machines. They do have some free weights, although somewhat limited, but there are plenty of machines, including Smith machines which are nice. There is also a PF 30 minute workout area which is a great way to get used to some of the gear for people who are new to the gym. The staff is friendly and will show you how to get started and use the equipment. It's a great value for the price and a fun, easy and low-key place to work out.

I have been injured, so I have only been able to use my membership for tanning, but I enjoy it so far. The Manager is very nice and she knows I am hearing impaired and I appreciate that she looks at me when speaking and makes sure I can understand what she is saying. That means a lot to me. I look forward to continuing qt this PF when I can start working out!

I go here often to work out, shower, and use the massage area. Always clean with friendly staff and other gym members.

This studio is beyond amazing! Amanda's Sunday class is the perfect class for a new mama trying to get " her pink back". There is no judgement here. Every instructor has your back no matter where you are in your fitness journey. 10/10 would recommend!

I think instructors from almost all formats need better training. They seem to lack knowledge in what they’re teaching and are not offering modifications or guidance. The yoga class does not feel like a yoga class because the music is loud, not very yoga-esque music and the lights are very bright compared to other yoga classes I’ve been to. It’s a lot of screaming in the spin class and not much else. There seems to be more focus on choreography in the spin class than actually formatting the class to be a full body workout. The instructors seem all very similar in what they say and the music they play. Instructors have bad form on the bike which is translated in the riders. Riders follow what instructors do and if the instructors had bad form they’re teaching bad habits. I think this studio has a lot of potential but they really need to train instructors better. It’s a risky business to run a fitness studio where the instructor doesn’t feel completely prepared and skilled to teach the class.

Stride offers many class options which is great, however do not expect a lot of direction from the trainers. No one approached me during my first spin class to indicate me how to set up the equipment. The yoga instructor did not give a lot of direction on the best way to position my body to do the exercises, same thing happened with TRX, Barre and Pilates...Talking about yoga, the ambiance to practice is not the best... better and more calm music should be used. Also, the music in the spin class is way too loud and I can barely hear the instructor... It is a convenient place for me to go work out but if I had other options I would try them.

Jess’ spin class is incredible- you get an amazing and challenging physical workout with amazing sound and really great music. But most importantly, you can feel the positive and encouraging energy in her class and everyone is smiling. She belongs on stage motivating and inspiring people to do their best. Always felt amazing leaving her class!

power spin classes have become my favorite part of the week!

I completed One Spark’s 6-week Transformation Program, and it was truly an amazing experience. I learned how to portion out meals, exercise regularly/build muscle and change my mindset. I have gained so much confidence and a healthier lifestyle after finishing the program. Jolie and Rae really helped motivate me, they truly are knowledgeable and dedicated trainers. I definitely felt like a priority and my needs were met. Super thankful for the experience and I highly recommend!!!!!

I started going to One Spark Fitness in early January as I had signed up for the 6-week challenge. The minute I walked into the Fitness Studio, I felt welcome. Jolie and Rae have created a welcoming, inclusive environment to help you become your best self. All of the staff are knowledgeable and take the time to ensure that you are using proper form and getting the most benefit from your workout. The classes are varied and fun while also being challenging. I have become a member and in 6 short weeks already feel so much better. I can see the changes with my body, but more importantly in how I feel.

My wife has been with One Spark since they opened. Before starting there she had lost close to two hundred pounds and have been instrumental in helping her keep the weight off and continue a healthy lifestyle. One Spark truly cares about their clients and treats them like family

don't feel like I'm being judged, and the classes really are for all levels, go at your own pace but also challenge you to want to do more. Plus the owners are super nice!

I really enjoyed the ease and flexibility of becoming a member, the ample class schedule that fits my calendar, and the great workout I had during the first session I attended.

I had a recent back injury, with nerve involvement down to my knee. After a few months of physical therapy my pain was better but not completely gone. I started working with Joe and his team about 3 months ago and my back pain is virtually gone. I'm down 25 pounds from this time last year and I feel and look much better. Highly recommend for those looking to get their core stronger, and increase mobility, following a back injury.

Passion for Fitness was just what I was searching for in my journey as an athlete. As a dedicated climber there is a lot of demand placed on my shoulders. In the past 7 years my right shoulder has undergone a lot of trauma-- surgery for a torn rotator cuff and surgery with three months in a sling for a broken collar bone. On top of that I have scoliosis which rotates my right shoulder inward, making it challenging to use my shoulder in optimal positions. The upshot was that I had pretty constant impingement in that shoulder when I climbed despite my best efforts to rehab. Enter Joe Ransom: he worked to help me gain mobility and stability as well as increase my strength. Within a few visits I was rarely feeling impinged and today, four months later, I can’t remember the last time my shoulder felt impinged. I am climbing stronger than I ever have and I enjoy feeling the strength and stability gains transferring to all of my endeavors.

I have been over weight most of my life. I have lost and gained the same 95-100 over and over. 2 years ago I injured my back which left me out of work for over a month. It was the worse pain I have ever experienced. I return to my life but not any sort of exercise. To be perfectly honest, I was frightened I would re-injure myself. That said, I knew I needed to do something. It was very important to me to find a personal trainer that would understand my concerns, who had a good knowledge of body mechanics. Physical Therapy, though very helpful, didn't provide the push I needed to increase my overall strength and loose weight. I chose Passion for Fitness after meeting Joe Ransom. He listened to my fears, understood my lifelong struggle and never made me feel uncomfortable. He designed a program I could easily incorporate into my busy life. I work with trainers Steve, Tim mostly and they are wonderful. I hate working out. I really do! They make it fun and apply just the right amount of push and encouragement I need. I am very happy I chose Passion for Fitness and highly recommend them for anyone wanting a great environment that promotes change and empowerment.

I have been going to Passion for Fitness in Phoenixville about 9 months. I really haven't worked out at all in the past 10 years and was looking for a healthy and safe way to get back into it. Both my trainers, Beth and Glenn have been awesome to work with. They developed a program that has given me flexibility, less tightness and targeted my weak and pain point areas like my back and hips. I just feel better now and am getting back into heavier weights without any pain. Highly recommend them for folks trying to re-engage those muscles that have been doing nothing the last 10 years.

I love Passion for Fitness. PFF and it's people are awesome! I have been working with them for 9 months, I've lost 60 lbs. and my results are nothing short of miraculous. Everyone is dedicated and committed to helping you with whatever your fitness goals are. The trainers really take a personal interest in each of their clients. I even got my husband and a couple neighbors to join their boot camp!! If you are considering working with a trainer or joining a boot camp, this should be the first and last place you look.

My son does ninja and my daughter takes gymnastics…they both love Aerials! I wanted to commend the teachers of my son’s ninja class for being proactive in making sure the kids support each other. My son had a situation with a classmate that was addressed promptly and he was able to continue an activity he loves with joy and confidence…all of these experiences are also social learning (for all involved!) and it is great to have classes that are in tune with that.

I have lost count of how many times I've recommended Aerials in Facebook groups! We absolutely love this gym, how much space and equipment they have, and how clean it is! The teachers are all so kind and patient with the preschools.

Convenient location, area inside seems to be kept clean. The staff seemed very friendly. There was a girl at the front desk with long black hair that was kind and really sweet, answered my questions. Excited to come back 😃

There are two types of class at Aerials: those for the majority of the students and those for the team/gym stars. For the majority of the students, minimal instruction is provided and (while some teachers are better than others) the students do not seem to advance in any measurable capacity. For the team/gym stars, it's a completely different story - the level is extremely high and the instruction is excellent. Unfortunately, communication at Aerials is extremely lacking. There is no one at the desk for 95% of the time during classes, and calling and leaving messages also doesn't seem to work. While I would love for my child to receive the excellent instruction afforded to those that have been selected for gym stars/the team (and have been told that my child is at the desired standard), I just can't get in touch with anyone to make it happen. I further don't feel that the nominal instruction is worth the time and/or money - my child would improve at a similar rate just practicing in our yard.

I fail to understand why Aerials employs two coaches working there, one of whom was on video trying to sell cocaine to a reporter when using a different name as a teacher in New Jersey, and another coach there who was suspended by US Gymnastics for talking about $3X with his athletes.

I never took yoga classes prior to Sharyn's classes, so I was nervous and unsure what to expect. Sharyn was so warm and inviting and made me feel so welcome. Her classes are amazing, she took her time helping everyone in the class to learn how to do poses. My beginner class ended last night, but I am signed up for the next session!

Sharyn's boutique offers a safe and relaxing yoga environment. Sharyn is a patient yoga instructor with thoughtful directions with your safety and comfort in mind. Her candlelight yoga with a meditation is a great way to relax before a busy work week. Give Sharyn's Yoga Space a try.

I have never done yoga before until Sharyn’s class. Her guidance, knowledge and professionalism exceeded what I was expecting! I am now what they call a Yogi and I am extending my classes! I suffer with lower back pain and since doing yoga with Sharyn I wake up with no back pain! Do yourself a favor and take her classes, you will not be disappointed! Namaste !

Sharyn is the best! I started taking yoga with her I’m early 2019 and can’t imagine being taught by anyone else. Highly recommend checking it out!

Sharyn is phenomenal and shares her genuine love of yoga with everyone she works with. I look forward to yoga every week!

I signed up for a 6 Week Challenge at Anytime Fitness- Oaks. Everyone thought I was crazy to sign up during the holidays but it has been great. It has kept me focused and motivated during a time when it’s so easy to do everything but workout. I am halfway through my challenge and can’t say enough about the gym and the coaches. It is a very welcoming environment- which I can’t say is always true at other gyms. The coaches meet you where you are and work with you to get you better- no judgement. The training classes are motivating and everyone in the class supports each other. I definitely recommend Anytime Fitness and the 6 Week Challenge to anyone who is looking to jumpstart their fitness journey.

Great place for 24/7 workouts, reasonable prices, and you can use any other Anytime Fitness location too.

I love this Anytime location! Place is never overly busy so I can get most of my workout in without waiting for machines. Place is always clean and well kept, and having private restrooms is a major plus. Staff is great here as well. 100% recommend!

Any time I make a reservation it was never for the same time 4 out of 6 times my schedule is asked to be changed I’m not a gym freak but was registered for 18 months so I can reach my goals wanted to cancel in the middle Initially they mentioned that can be done after 6 months if I had to move for different place later when I actually lost my job and had to move to different place they were asking me for address proof and all we can’t get the proofs immediately but you have no other option but have to continue with the charges Also they charge 40 extra on year end which is not mentioned at the time of registration but they mention that it’s on contract So it’s a good place because I don’t like others as they are crowded but not worth the charges they impose for the service they provide This is recommended place if you want to do your gym without crowd but not for the service they provide

I signed up for a six week challenge at Anytime Oaks, I’m about half way through and cannot say enough about the gym, staff, classes and the challenge itself. The staff is very friendly and helpful, but won’t hesitate to make you sweat in one of their classes! And the gym is always clean and organized, with plenty of towels, sanitizer, etc. the classes are run well and provide a great challenge for beginners and more experienced members equally. I would recommend Anytime Oaks to anyone who wants to start fresh or wants to get back at it in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere !

Top-notch instruction! Joe is a fantastic martial arts teacher at KUNTAO of Phoenixville. They offer practical self-defense skills in a friendly, family-oriented environment. Unlike commercial schools, KUNTAO provides personalized attention with smaller class sizes. Highly recommend for anyone in Phoenixville! Best Martial Arts School in Phoenixville.

I love my school. We are learning weapons (Kali) and Kung Fu (Wing Chun). Sifu Yeager is a very talented teacher. He breaks down each form which makes it easier to learn and makes sure you are doing it properly. The people in the class are nice and very supportive. We have alot of fun and I just love it!

Best flag football!!!!!

I started my practice at Nectar a little over a year ago and I've been going pretty regularly ever since. The Nectar community is incredibly friendly and accepting no matter where you are on your yoga journey. I don't think I'd go nearly as often if it weren't for the instructors and members that make up Nectar. Every instructor is unique and every class offers something different. The addition of yoga and the Nectar community has been a significant boon to both my physical, mental, adn emotional wellness. I am so grateful for Kate, Emily, and everyone else who have been so helpful and encouraging. I can't recommend Nectar enough.

Nectar Yoga is the best studio I've ever joined. The numerous instructors are well-trained and offer a variety of practices. Classes are available 7 days a week: daily, nightly, weekends, holidays. The unlimited membership is a great value. In addition to the fabulous classes, the community is friendly, inclusive, and diverse. I absolutely love going to class every day. Nectar Yoga Studio is my "happy place."

All the teachers are very welcoming and supportive of all skill levels. They remember everyone by name and offer feedback that is tailored to the individual. I like that Nectar teachers don’t reduce yoga to just a workout. You’ll learn all aspects of yoga, including meditation and breath work. You’re encouraged to listen to your body, and no one will judge you if you need to rest in child’s pose in the middle of a standing sequence.

Nectar is amazing! The atmosphere is so welcoming, the instructors are friendly and helpful. I enjoy every class, joining the Nectar community is the best decision I’ve made in my yoga journey.

After moving to the area, I spent lots of time looking for a new place to practice yoga. I've been a Nectar member for about 90 days now, and I'm very happy with the studio and its community. Instructors are friendly and make good suggestions to improve my practice. The studio is one large space and fellow students are welcoming. I was pleasantly surprised to find that while Nectar is not heated, their vinyasa classes still offer a stimulating workout, improved flexibility, and relaxed mindfulness. (I'll take all those benefits and skip the sweat, thank you.) Classes are offered with many time options and feature a range of instructors, so I have no problem squeezing classes into my busy schedule, while other students who prefer consistency seem happy, too. Free parking is readily available on the wide streets or in Nectar's lot behind the building. I'm glad I tried Nectar!
