Best Gym near Pottstown, Pennsylvania

Our daughter is now on her 4th Season with Heat All-Stars!! When she started she was doing basic back walkovers, round offs (no handsprings) and some stunting. With the combined lessons and team practices, she’s doing whips, standing tucks, layouts and more!! Her passion for cheerleading has grown as much as this gym has grown and the new owners Zeth & Julie Wentz are simply incredible! They have a talented team of skilled and experienced coaches and are always looking at how they can continue to build upon the program and make it even better and stronger for the athletes and families! They’ve even now opened it up for kids who want to learn about cheerleading who mat never have done it. There is something for everyone, come see for yourself - you’ll see why we love our Heat Family too!

my daughter attends classes at Heat and has for about a year now. Her skills are improving. Zeth, the owner, took over the gym last Spring/Summer and seems to be doing a fantastic job. Heat response to emails and social media messages quickly. They're extremely welcoming of athletes of outside gyms. Positive environment. Upfront. Prices are way more reasonable with more experienced coaches versus other local gyms with less coaching experience. I recommend using them for their tumbling classes and all star cheerleading. don't hesitate to reach out to them with your questions.

Our daughter has been taking tumbling classes for about a year now at Heat All-Stars. She absolutely loves every class she has taken and the coaches! She has learned so much and the coaches have given her so much confidence. She joined the Mini Prep Cheer Team this year and loves it. The coaches are amazing and work so well with all of the kids. They know how to encourage the girls and make it fun while holding high expectations. The owners have been awesome! They have been so welcoming and really seem to be creating a family of cheerleaders. They are always approachable and have great communication with parents. We have had nothing but positive experiences with Heat All-Stars and our daughter runs through the gym doors with a smile every time!

My daughter is on her 5th year at Heat and loves every second of it. She has improved her skills tremendously and would never consider cheering for anyone else. The new owners are amazing and the coaches are awesome too. Communication is fantastic. It truly feels like a family. We love HEAT ♥️🖤

My daughter has been at Heat for 3 years now. She absolutely loves it there. The coaches are wonderful and she has really grown in her tumbling skills. Heat really cares about each athlete, team and parent. My daughter has also made some great friendships.

Truly the best youth athletic program. All of the coaches are kind, enthusiastic and supportive. Coach Woot is especially attentive and motivating for our daughter, and (from what I see looking at the young faces at practice) he’s wonderful for every young person he coaches. I would multiply the stars but google only allows a 5 star rating as the highest.

When my daughter started running 3 years ago she had no prior running experience. She was pretty quick but we knew she had potential to do so much more. When she started training with Coach Woot and Coach Milton she learned how to run properly and from there my daughter has continued to grow, gain more confidence and become the runner we all know she can be. Myself, as well as my daughter really value their opinion/advice and if we ever has an issue or question they are always willing to talk with her. They really invest in their athletes and it shows. PA United was definitely one of the best decisions we made when it came to my daughter’s training.

My son discovered track and his love of sprinting his senior year in high school. That summer, before he left for college, we enrolled him in Coach Woot’s summer program. He learned so much that summer and was extremely dedicated to improving his sprint technique. We believe this helped set our son up for success. In his first indoor track meet of the season, he broke the 60 m school record! We thank the team coaches for assisting him in reaching this achievement!

As a coach for local girls basketball team we worked with Coach Wooten to provide a weekly program focused on improving agility, strength and conditioning for the team. The girls enjoyed the program and definitely got a solid amount of work in during each session. The benefits of training like this go far beyond sports in creating a foundation for health and wellness in kids. I highly recommend for any parent or coach looking to instill that foundation.

It is amazing to see my daughters development, especially in their basketball games. They are stronger, run faster, and jump higher. It's amazing to see Coach Woot, connect, inspire, and motivate to get the best out of young athletes of all ages. He highly skilled at his craft and I highly recommend him. Thank you

Planet Fitness can sometimes get a bad rep, but this location has been fantastic! Unless you are a powerlifter, pretty much everything you could possibly want or need, is here. The location is kept pretty clean, and it seems like if a machine is ever broken or out of order (it happens!), it’s fixed by the next day that I come in. The staff that I’ve interacted with are all very friendly and helpful, and they keep the location in great condition. All of the other members I’ve seen tend to keep to themselves and are respectful of others space, for the most part, and it feels comfortable to work out here. I have belonged to other PF locations in the past that I didn’t love, but this particular spot is great.

Staff is welcoming and friendly. Clean environment - every time I am there I see a member of the staff cleaning something. A variety of quality equipment in good, working order. Very affordable.

Another racist encounter from the staff at Planet Fitness in Pottstown…. So, apparently staff only knows how to give service to white customers. I’m so sick of staff treating black customers like their money isn’t green too. Tonight, I signed into the lounge with my black card and requested a certain lounge. It was a line of white girls that just signed up for black card and they were allowed to go first ahead of me when I signed in before them. Word of advice to the managers and staff there: If you’re not used to working around all people , maybe you should find a job that you don’t have to leave your home for.

Love coming to this gym it's clean the people are friendly and it's open 24/7

Great gym and amenities. However when you sign up they tell you the annual fee will come out like 1-2 months from when you sign up which is $49. Well let me be the first to tell you that's bulls*** because about a week after I got my black card membership that along with all other fees came out. Oh and the kicker here is that the first month was supposed to be $1. Biggest joke imaginable. Oh but great equipment if you'd like to play their financial games. Play at your own risk.

Pros: The gym has a lively atmosphere. They offer a variety of equipment for your training needs! The staff makes an effort to great you upon entry. The management works hard to maintain a clean facility. Cons: The hours of operations on weekends aren't the best. I do wish the gym was open later than 5pm on Saturdays and Sundays. 5pm is a bit early. 7 or 8pm would be preferred.

I’ve been a member of Crunch Fitness for some time now, and I can’t say enough about how amazing Cameron, the gym manager, is! His dedication to maintaining a clean and organized facility truly sets this gym apart. Every time I visit, I’m impressed by the spotless equipment and inviting atmosphere. Cameron goes above and beyond to ensure that every member feels welcome and valued. He’s always approachable, ready to assist with any questions, and fosters a positive community vibe. It’s clear he genuinely cares about our fitness journey and the overall experience at the gym. Thanks to Cameron's leadership, Crunch Fitness is not just a gym but a great place to work out. Highly recommend! Five stars!

Staff is awesome, gym is awesome, the free weights go up more than enough for me. They have a huge layout with a big calisthenics work out area which I love. It’s just fired, massage chairs🔥 and if I was one of those weird oeople that tan which I definitely am not I would tell you that I’ve never waited for a bed, that they beds are very clean, and they even offer free sticky eye covers so you don’t burn your eyeballs out of your head 😂. Okay so maybe I went once. Overall great gym great staff great amenities.

This gym has everything for the knowledgeable athlete. The trainers, especially Trent, are extremely effective. The staff (Wendy) are not only helpful and patient, but always greet you with with a smile. They really have figured out the appropriate membership rates and it is probably dollar for dollar the best value in the area.

You may enjoy your membership now but try cancelling it. I have been attempting to cancel this membership for months and continue to be charged each month. Even after receiving a cancellation confirmation form, I immediately received a receipt for my membership bc they had just billed me again. Maybe they’re thinking someone won’t pursue legal action over a hundred bucks but that’s not the case.

One of the smaller and rougher Y's I've been to. Most of it likely has nothing to do with the employees, who seemed great, but with funding. What appears to be the old building is split into 4 different businesses now with the Y's main entrance being some little side door. The gym is absolutely diminutive, having one squat rack and one small cable crossover machine. It does have 2 benches but no incline and no shoulder press bench. Dumbbells go up to 100, which is fine, but not impressive for a Y. The entire strength training area (including nautilus/other machines) is maybe 1,000 square feet? Very small. It's basically a home gym. All of this is fine and not necessarily a complaint, just an observation that it's tiny. I do have a complaint, however, and that is that the one non-locker-room toilet that I saw is literally supported by a couple of 2x4's nailed together (see picture). Pretty rough. Will it hold? Well, it did for now. But it looks really awful and unprofessional. All-in-all this is clearly a failing Y that will probably be shut down eventually. It's sad, as it's the only one near Pottstown and it's in a great location.

Fitness equipment selection is ok. Place is clean and not crowded. Staff is generally professional. Convenient location if you live in Pottstown Weekend hours are not great. Locker rooms are old. Weight room is small. There is another more modern Y facility with better weight training equipment within a 15 min drive. I discovered Spring Valley when I learned of the early close times of this Y on the weekends.

Love this location and the entire team. From Seth, Katie, Lilly, Sarah, Kanijah, Nevaeh, Ashley and many MoRE! But one thing they need to do is get rid of the only unprofessional, unfriendly, looks like she hates her job, mean to kids and curses in the pool (I witnessed it) is Zoey. She brings a negative vibe in the front desk when checking in and in the pool side. I’d give this location a 10 if I could but this employee makes the experience that much horrible! She needs to find something she likes!

Staff member in the gym stares at people while they exercise. Despite regular leering, nothing was done about it and I switched gyms because of it. Now I can’t swim at my gym, but at least I can exercise in peace. I grew up going to the ymca and was disappointed that this was how they handled issues.

The summer camp program, working on my nerves, if you’re child is autistic, nonverbal go somewhere else, I feel like all staff members who works with children, should be trained to work with all children. I’m just waiting for them to say he can’t come back, so I can take legal action for discrimination, on a special need child.

Spend time there for the atmosphere and people. From their weekly art and open mic night, to their themed rave nights, to everything in-between. Added bonus if you're a tea drinker! Absolutely worth a check out for their events, people, and space.

Really cool place. Looking forward to attending future events here. So much cool art/stuff to check out. The people were all really cool and chill. Visited for the Microscopic Safari event which was really interesting. Excellent music performance as well. Don't see a lot of places like this around.

Vicki at the downstairs food spot was amazing!! Really nice and great conversation. The displays through out the venue were also really amazing! Overall everything a vibe !

I absolutely love Cosmic! The atmosphere is amazing: from the physical space to the community. I felt welcome from the moment I stepped in the door. Not to mention, their elaborate events & shin digs are so much fun!! Some of my favorite moments at the studio include attending ecstatic dance & cacao ceremonies. The vibes at Cosmic are always immaculate :)

Literally my favorite place. For all ages and personalities types! Regardless if you're teen, elderly, introverted, ghetto, hippie, its the perfect place to just let loose for a night.

I have been attending HEAT for many years now, first as an athlete and now attending the legends class. Kyle & team prepare excellent workout sessions and will cater to whatever your workout needs are. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough about HEAT training. My son has not only found many gains in his speed and agility but he has found a home away from home. Kyle and Mike have made it a place that he looks forward to coming to every week. I recently asked him to rank his favorite sports, his response “1. Football 2. HEAT training 3. Tie between wrestling and lacrosse”. I totally appreciate that our 10 year old added his off-season training as a sport and I contribute it all to the work that the HEAT staff puts into his development. He loves this place and I love that they make it fun for him to continue to say “When am I going to HEAT next?” Thanks for making it a fun and rewarding experience for him.

I started attending "HEAT" in May of 2022. I started with 1 on 1 sessions with Kyle 3 days a week. He was patient, encouraging, and very knowledgeable. After 3 months of 1 on 1's, I started to attend "training legends" 5 times a week. I have attended both night and morning sessions. Both classes have encouraging attendees and instructors while still pushing to be better. I have noticed both cardio and strength progression.

I have been coming to H.E.A.T. and attending the "Training Legends" class for a little over three years. It's been great having a scheduled class where you know Kyle and his team will have a new and challenging workout for you each night. The trainers are always present to explain the exercises, gently correct your form, or encourage you. I look forward to each workout!

(Football) For the last 4 months my 14 year old son has been training at HEAT with coach Michael Allen, all of his metrics improved drastically (speed, strength and agility) so not only is he performing better, he’s also more confident in his abilities. Training at HEAT has already payed dividends during 7-7 season and during spring training camps. Not only is coach Michael a great coach, he’s a top notch individual and very professional. I recommend this place to any parent looking to invest in their children athletic future.

I’m so happy that I discovered DASH! I’ve been doing 1-2 workouts a week for the past month and I felt stronger from day 1. All the instructors are amazing and will push you to be the best you that you can be! I’ve taken the most classes with Jenny, and love how much passion she brings to class. The studio is clean, and the instructors will remember your name after your first visit….. and hold you accountable to your goals!

Absolutely love Dash! I have mostly been into the training camp classes. Love the high intensity workout, and ALWAYS leave feeling like I got a great workout in within an hour. Highly recommend if you haven’t gone, the whole team is so supportive, alongside all of the classmates that cheer you on because it’s not easy!!! See what it’s all about! You will love it!

I’m so thankful I was introduced to DASH fitness studio by a friend. I was hooked from the first class. Each instructor truly cares about your goals and pushes you in the best way. Not only do you get a killer workout, but you gain a community of friends and family that encourage and support you in every class. There are classes for everyone and each instructor provides personalized modifications as needed. I have learned so much about myself and what my body can do because of DASH. You will always leave feeling challenged and the best version of yourself. I cannot recommend this studio enough!!!

I love Dash I've never been a gym girl, but group fitness is incredibly rewarding and fun. From the instructors to the other clients at Dash you really get a feeling of community and family. It's awesome to go into a place and always be greeted by hellos and smiles. My personal favorite class is Rhythmic Spin with Michelle, she is funny/energetic and makes an hour seem like nothing. Her play list are always on point and her workouts are no joke. It's not just physical improvement it's mental improvement. It's going in feeling down or mad whatever it might be and coming out feeling strong, confident and amazing. It feels like its all left out there on the spin floor, priceless!!! Do yourself a favor and try Dash ..you will be hooked!!

When I joined DASH in 2019, it was the answer to all of my workout problems. The classes, the community, the location/schedule…it was exactly what I needed to finally get into a regular fitness routine. I felt welcomed, encouraged, and seen. Jenny continued to be supportive throughout the shutdown and I counted down the days until she reopened. DASH 2.0 is bigger and better. The coaches truly care, and while the workouts are challenging they are still fun (I actually started to like burpees??). I have never been as motivated to work out before joining DASH, worth every penny!

Staff is amazing!! So caring and hard working for this being a new location I am very impressed!!!

Love this place! My daughter loves it here.

Great facility. The gym is very nice, but I would love to see a free weight T-Bar row and a better seated leg curl machine. In terms of the Pickleball area, it has a very good ambience. A few of the tiles don’t bounce too well for pickleball though. I only wish that there was a basketball court.

They appear to have spent quite a bit of money in setting up this facility. I played pickleball there. Unfortunately, they chose to use plastic tiles as the court surface for the pickleball courts. Many of the tiles produce bad bounces, or no bounces at all. Some of the courts have support beams so close to the court that they interfere with play. I think this place is geared toward beginners that are not very concerned with court conditions. I don’t think anyone who plays competitive pickleball will enjoy playing there. That is unfortunate, since a better court surface would have made a huge difference.

Fitlife Fitness is a new facility. Currently the facility is First class but we are adding many amenities to the facility such as batting cages, golf simulators, currently we have 11 pickleball courts and will be adding courts. We intend to have 32 courts, which will be the largest pickleball facility on the East Coast if not the country. We have a state of the art work-out facility. Our Phase 2 additions will have a massive 20,000 square foot workout facility with state of the art weightlifting and aerobics equipment. We will have a massive food court facility with huge TVs and a liquor licence coming in Phase 2. You will be able to order food from 7 fantastic restaurant and have it delivered courtside or any table set up in the facility. We also will have a liquor licence. Beer and wine and mixed drinks can be ordered and delivered anywhere in the facility.

Nice facility. Support beams next to pickleball courts need to be covered with foam or some other soft material

Enjoy going to the gym. Still has construction going on pickle ball courts are not completed at this time. Still nice to go. Can't wait for it to be completed.
