Best Gym near Springfield, Massachusetts

Such an awesome space. I would 100% recommend to anyone in the area, and if I was still around I would be living in the sauna/cold plunge. Sweet gym and some great classes offered here. I really enjoyed the class with Christina Lam and have recommended the space to others that I thought might appreciate it.

A few years ago I was not comfortable in my own skin and too intimidated to go to the gym… and then I met Emily and her team at BuildEmUp. Emily took my confidence level through the roof in just a few months of knowing her and working 1:1 with her. The environment she works in, her knowledge, words of encouragement and the effect she has on everyone around her (not just myself) to push and become a better person helped a ton .. more than she knows! Without BuildEmUp I wouldn’t be the #StrongNotSkinny, active, 160 pound x2 dog walking mom I am.

What a local gem to have stumbled upon at the beginning of my fitness strength building journey! The vibe and overall approach to wellness is so refreshing and motivating!

This gym is more than a gym, it's a community of individuals who support, encourage, and challenge one another. Em and the trainers are hands down the best people I have ever met. Whether you come for personal trainings, classes, or your own workouts you will be surrounded by women and men with positive attitudes, zero judgement, and high energy. I recommend this gym to anyone whether you have a goal in mind or not. I have never met a group of trainers who are just as motivated for their clients to hit their goals as I did when I met Em, Jordan, and Gabi. They put their own hearts and souls into creating an environment to individuals to strive and grow. If you're looking to surround yourself with amazing people while also getting stronger I only recommend BuildEmUp Fitness.

I am currently a trainer/coach for BuildEmUp and I can’t say enough good things about Em. She welcomed me to her business with open arms and taught me SO much. She is the best boss I have ever had and this community is like no other. Her classes are *mostly* females and it is amazing to see how far everyone has come in their journeys. This is a place where you aren’t judged and looked at the wrong way. Everyone who comes to classes enjoys it and has a good attitude. This isn’t like any normal gym - it is the best gym you’ll ever step into!

Beautiful place to sit and relax, Bring ur own kayak or boat...good boat launch space ..they dont rent here. U will see some huge cargo planes landing close by airport. Good seating with shed.

love the experience they offered the price was good and what a great location im comming more often just to fish

Awesome Dragon boat race. Wish it was much cooler

From the moment we checked in and the lady explained everything... it was a wonderful time! Chuck was great, the hour on Connecticut River was peaceful! Water was clean and clear. A great way to spend an hour outdoors. A little bit of exercise and relaxation!

Very nice boathouse, property and people. Many programs for kids & adults. Rowing, kayaking and dragon boating. Conveniently located just over the bridge from West Springfield, near 91 and next toa bike path.

I can see why they have this huge gym here—three stories high next to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, which makes sense. The gym is one of the biggest and very clean. They can ball great. competition on the court. I love it. Spot like this got to be 20/7.

This gym is very affordable, but it needs to be cleaner. It seems as though no one mops around the pool area EVER! Years ago they did. Dirty puddles of water are everywhere. I don’t think the walls of the cleansing shower are cleaned. Bathrooms are sketchy at best. They are often missing toilet paper and paper towels. I don’t understand why the windows in the pool area are always dirty. If they step it up it can really be a great place to workout. Also I think appropriate attire should be worn in the spa. In my opinion underwear is not acceptable. I have seen this on a regular basis. It’s never addressed by staff.

Best place for the money. You get what your pay for. Not well maintained. A lot of equipment need update and upkeep. Update: the quality and atmosphere has degraded to the point that there are safety hazards. The staff are non attentive, and the bathrooms are in terrible shape.

A nice multi-leveled gym in the heart of Downtown Springfield. Next to many amenities location-wise. Regarding the gym, it’s clean however equipment is getting outdated. It could use a whole refresh for the dumbbells in my personal opinion. Tons of equipment to choose from so any lifter from beginner to yolked can usually lift with what they want/need. Quite a bit of people, but that’s okay. Overall, for the price it is highly worth it and trialing it with the free pass is worth a shot.

Huge club with plenty of light…massive space even during busy hours many floors and many options. The basketball court is beautiful in all glass. Staff was extremely courteous and helped when asked. Can’t beat the $ for a membership well worth the cost. Great spot! Great environment and Great health club.

Top of the line facility with great coaches and great atmosphere. The best wrestling Coaches in the area teach at the facility. The program also offers BJJ, kickboxing and MMA and would be considered the premier program in Western Massachusetts if you are looking to learn BJJ or compete in MMA.

Absolutely first class facility along with its coaches. Definitely the premier wrestling club that builds champions on and off the mat. This program is excellent for beginners to seasoned athletes.

Great coaches and kids, my son loves it!

Great prices, great facility and great coaches!!! Win, win and win!!!

Great trainers great ppl

I am so glad I dropped in for an Ariel fitness class and then by chance was able to get a spot in a bungee fitness class. So worth it! Jade is extremely friendly and makes you feel like an insider immediately. This was a judgment free zone full of fun. Next time I’m in the area I’ll have to drop in again! If you’re debating booking a class, do it now!!!

Jade is the best! I’ve taken her aerial, zumba, and bungee classes and love all of them. She is a master of giving you a challenging workout while you’re having fun! I’ve learned so much from Jade. She has knowledge and training in so many different areas and she teaches to all levels. She’s also a caring and supportive instructor who helps you progress at your own pace. Take her classes!

I can't EVEN begin to count the years I have known Jade! She was my introduction into Zumba fitness and I have done multiple other classes with her. Jade is high energy, passionate, and down to earth! I live that she is innovative and a true fitness entrepreneur. Never in the box fitness with Jade. She is an experience to be appreciated ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Jade is a beautiful dancer and a wonderful instructor. She was very patient with an anxious newcomer and immediately me feel comfortable and welcome. I also had the opportunity to partner with her on a professional level when I became an instructor myself. She was a fantastic communicator and together we coordinated a very successful event.

Jade is the best instructor in the area hands down. She brings a lot of fun, creativity and skill to her classes. Her energy and enthusiasm are infectious making workouts even more fun. Jade is a true professional and lover of fitness. I highly recommend her studio!

I came to Cycle Adept in April of 2023 from a different gym. I am beyond happy with the transition! They offer a variety of classes through several different instructors, all of whom are amazing! Classes start as early as 5 am which is perfect for a working mom like myself! They have reasonably priced packages for every rider! Morning only monthly packages, unlimited memberships, and punch cards at a reduced price which makes it budget friendly. The bikes are great and the space is perfect for riding! I couldn’t be happier at this gym and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a great spinning location!

This is the best spinning class I’ve ever been to in Springfield! I was a little nervous at first going back to working out but the place was so inviting and the instructor makes you feel motivated, makes it fun and the music keeps you going!! I highly recommend them will definitely be back!

Fantastic instructors!

I lost my gym bag 2 months ago and it was being held for me in the lost and found with all of the valuable contents still in it. That is the highest compliment I can give any gym. Also , this gym is wicked clean and well run

I have really enjoyed coming to Best Fitness. The gym is very clean, unusually clean compared to every other gym I've tried. I think that seeing how hard the staff works to keep it clean encourages other members to help keep it clean, a positive feedback loop of sorts. For me, cleanliness is my biggest priority for a gym, and they blow it out of the water. Also, there is so much room. Very open, the machines are well spaced and I never feel like I'm on top of anybody. Obviously it gets busy during peak times (per the 1 star reviewers that are confused why the gym is busy when everybody gets out of work, as if every gym isn't like that), but if you can keep your workouts to early mornings or afternoons, you hardly ever have to wait for things to open up. They have a wide variety of equipment that's kept in great shape. Overall, I have had nothing but positive experiences in this gym. If you are in the area or are disappointed by your current gym, it is definitely worth giving Best Fitness a look. I think it is a very competitive price for the reasons I outlined above, and I have no intention of switching any time soon.

Best Fitness is a decent gym for what you pay for. Decent selection of equipment, (if you can even get on it during peak hours). The sauna is nice, and the employees up front are usually helpful. A few critiques I have is the excess volume of the music. I feel it’s unnecessarily loud and even seeps through noice cancelling headphones. When I say loud, it’s literally the loudest music in any gym I’ve been to. It is a busy gym, so keep that in mind. I really wish they had neck training gear as well. The price is cheap for a week pass and regular membership. Overall, if you are near it, it’s ok gym for any East Springfield lifters.

The gym is immaculate. The set up in Best Fitness is spacious and the gym is rarely ever packed(never have to wait for equipment). The range equipment is extensive and as a personal trainer I am beyond impressed with the selection. Love the sauna as well. This is how a gym should run!

Such a comfortable gym to work out in! They have all of the equipment I require and it’s always very well maintained. 10/10 would recommend!

I absolutely love my Planet Fitness on Parker Street! The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the gym is clean and well-maintained. The equipment is in great condition, and there’s a wide variety to choose from, making my workouts enjoyable every time. One of the best features is definitely the massage chair, it’s the perfect way to relax after a workout! I highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a positive, judgment-free workout environment.

It's a good gym. good customer service and a good place to start if your trying to go to a gym that is affordable and easy to start i would definitely recommend it. Especially if you are new to fitness and don't know were to start or how this is the place to go

I was working out and was asked to put on my shoes, I was not bear foot, let’s be clear I had on yoga socks. That people use to work out in. I have seen several people workout in their sock and never have I ever seen the shoe police ask them to put on their shoes.

Not happy with them at all. I work nights and during/after covid they limited their hours as expected. I went in to suspend my account since I could not go as they were closed during my available time. I asked if I would still be charged until I reactivated my account. I was told no I would not be since I had put my account on hold. I went in the other day since I am now available to return after an injury. I found out that I have been charged since 10/22 for a service I requested to be suspended. That's like $1200. To even try to get a refund, I have to see the manager during the days, when I need to sleep. I was also told that they would more than likely tell me that they would not refund me or even a credit towards my account, which I would be fine with. I will post any updates that occur.

Enjoy Planet Fitness and their non-judgmental approach to customers. Extensive array of exercise machines. Also love Hydromassage beds, and clean showers. Staff are usually welcoming and respectful.

Betsy and Lisa are two of the BEST spin instructors around! Not only do they go hard in each workout they go above and beyond and added additional workouts after each class and even offer a vixen dance class! They are self made. They push you and familiarize themselves with each and every one of us. They are so welcoming and make us feel like a family! I highly recommend them!

Im almost a 2 year member here and I love it! Betsey and Lisa J the owners are sooo supportive and friendly. Shar in the am and Olivia in the pm keep the motivation pumping! I havent tried all the instructors yet but know this is the place to be! Seems every knows the assignment! Friendly, motivating and family oriented! If you haven't tried you are messing out! Come join the family cuz that is what you'll get!!!

Best local cycling studio! I always leave feeling like I got a great workout- especially on days with strength/HIT workouts after spin. Lisa and Betsy are so welcoming and the studio is such a positive environment. Super happy I found this studio!

I absolutely love it here! I was looking for a spin class and I came across this place online. From the moment I walked in I felt so welcomed. Betsy and Lisa Jay are very motivating, and they challenge you to push yourself while making sure you're having a good time. I'll never go anywhere else!

This gym is more than a place to spin. You walk in the door to Betsy and Lisa who will greet you each time, they remember your name, make sure to notice your progress, and lead a great workout every time. Their energy is welcoming, supportive, and they will push you hard. Each class is tailored for beginners to advanced, so anyone will feel comfortable and be able to keep up. If you’re looking for a place to begin or continue your fitness journey, you don’t want to miss this place! Beyond Cycle & Fitness is by far, my favorite places I’ve ever worked out.

Staff is super friendly! Always available to answer any questions!

Planet Fitness is plus group. The staff Becky, Victor, and Mike are always ready to listen and help. They all are very friendly. They keep the center clean and equipment working properly. Given we are post COVID, the only thing I notice recently the sanitizing where I was working out was dirty. Noticeably dirty. Over this site is a well oil machine.

Working out here for years, best place to be and get your daily dose of endorphins.

There's a new Planet Fitness here. Seems to be popular already. Haven't been there. There's also an Auto Zone. This is my go to auto parts store. They most always have the part I'm looking for. The employees are helpful and usually polite. There's a Ruby Tuesdays here and The Boston Market as well. I never visited the Boston Market but Ruby Tuesdays had extremely slow service last time I went. I've found that's pretty much the norm for all the Ruby Tuesdays. Make sure you have plenty of time if you're planning to eat there.

Easy in and out. Stores are well stocked. Helpful staff.
