Best Gyms with Free Parking near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Enjoyed taking classes here until recently, when I was treated rudely by an instructor for arriving exactly 5 minutes after the start of class, due to a public transportation delay that was completely out of my control. While we conversed, she repeatedly called me "lady," to my face, although I told her my name, and I was polite in response. Contacting customer service was extremely difficult: no response through email or call until I checked in with my complaint again. I received a voucher for a free class, but no apology for the absolutely unnecessarily rude treatment I received. Overall, my experience here was significantly tainted and I don't recommend using the Rittenhouse location.

Italia is a fantastic pilates trainer. I did the full body class and it was amazing. Hit everything. Really appreciate Italia keeping an eye on me and giving just the right amount of guidance for my first class 🙌

My first ever Solidcore class was a 10/10! I had Italia as my coach, and she was very helpful and motivating. Also, the playlist was top tier!!

Been coming to this Solidcore for workout for almost a year now. Really see some transformation for both physical and mental health. This studio is also pretty close to a Trader Joe’s and the Solidcore + trader joes combo on weekends have been truly therapeutic for me!

Always a great workout at solidcore - music is great, instructors are great, and the muscle shakes make you feel like you’re working hard!

This Anytime Fitness location is excellent! Plenty of equipment, there are trainers from 10 am - 4 pm daily, they offer several classes and personal training as well. The location is well maintained with very good equipment for strength building and cardio. They also have a selection of crossfit type equipment and an area specifically for these types of cross training workouts. I love this gym 🏋🏻‍♂️

This place is awesome. They have all the equipment you would ever need. The atmosphere is inviting and friendly. The staff is epic, and the trainers are amazingly accommodating. They work around the people suggesting personalized alternative exercises if the group ones don't fit a body type/age. The management is also stunning. Someone left their inhaler at the gym, and the staff called everyone who was there for that period to track the person down. 20 years carrying an inhaler, and nobody has ever done that for me before. This place is super warm and exciting and a great place to get introduced to exercise and driven people.

- They didn’t have the one machine I wanted, the simplest one: a stationary bike. They only have the weird ones that you lean way back in or the ones with the giant handle bars that go back/forth. - The gym was clean, well lit, and the music wasn’t blaring like some others. - The bathroom was cleanest AF bathroom I’ve ever seen. - The shower head is apparently not allowed to be adjusted…? - The shower leaked water all over the floor and into the hallway. Sorry about that. Poor installation of the shower tiles. I’m just passing through town, so I won’t be returning.

Best gym I ever joined. Always very clean, engaged and kind staff, Health eval every 6 weeks included in membership, 24/7 access. If you like to work out whenever your schedule allows in a comprehensive gym setting thats affordable with 24/7 access, this is the spot!

Anytime fitness is amazing never crowded that's wroth 3/5 alone and then the equipment is up to date and it's just so convenient no excuses always open they don't have any calf machine not a fan of that but so far, I like it.

Move with love is a home away from home. I’m so grateful to Holly for the warm and welcoming space she has cultivated. With my mini monthly membership I get to try out new teachers and styles. The special events are always interesting and the sound baths are divine!

I started coming to MWL last year when my spouse purchased me a new student pass for Christmas after we moved to the area. The space and people were immediately welcoming, and those good vibes extend to everyone I've interacted with since, whether teachers or students. Since those first few classes, the studio has become a place I visit multiple times a week and the classes I attend are often the best part of my day. The variety of class offerings means there is always one for the week or day or mood I'm having, and I don't think I've ever left not feeling lighter and happier than when I arrived. I'm so glad to have joined this community and highly recommend MWL to anyone seeking a welcoming and relaxed space to practice yoga.

Move With Love is yoga with heart and soul. The atmosphere is always warm and friendly and supportive -and the classes are fun and engaging for beginners and experienced yogis- also the studio is beautiful- sparkling clean and excellent large Jade yoga mats are provided for free. Each of the teachers works hard to make each class an experience- that helps your body and soul - one of my favorite places in Mount Airy❤️❤️❤️

I attended a my first Sound Bath at Move With Love - it was truly transformative! Holly's space is so calming, and the sounds of the instruments created a deeply relaxing experience that lets you fully unwind and recharge. I left feeling grounded, clear, and more at peace. The soothing atmosphere make it perfect for anyone new to sound baths or looking for a unique way to relax. Highly recommend for anyone needing a mindful escape!

Holly is the most welcoming and warm yoga instructor! She is the embodiment of her mantra: Move with Love. Move with Love remains my favorite find from the depths of the pandemic. Whether I'm taking a class with her in her gorgeous studio in Philly, virtually, or on the steps of the Brooklyn Museum, I know that I'm in for a treat. Classes are grounded in reality, listening to your body, and filled with joy - it's a dynamic combination.

All I can is WOW!! Julia the trainer was amazing not only with coaching the class and giving positive reinforcement but with also making sure my form was good throughout the class and adjusting the springs for me throughout each move. I left feeling amazing and confident. She reassured me I did great and it’s baby steps!! I never knew you could work so many muscles in just an hr. I worked muscle I didn’t even know existed! If you’re thinking about taking a class don’t hesitate and just book the class you’ll be thanking me later! Thank you again Julia you are the best!

I love this studio so much! Unfortunately, I recently moved to the suburbs and can't attend classes here anymore. I was in the best shape I've been in and haven't been able to find any comparable classes near me. The coaches are great. I highly recommend trying, even if you're nervous! The coaches make sure to provide guidance and make you feel comfortable.

Amazing coaches and such a great workout. Im so glad I joined solidcore and can’t wait for more classes under the blue lights!

Took a foundations class with Yemi and it was wonderful. I had only taken a single intro class previous but Yemi was very cognizant of the varying skill levels in her class and how to challenge everyone at those different levels. The studio had a parking lot, locker, areas to hang up down jackets. Only ‘con’ would be not having showers but a very minimal issue.

It was l my first time taking a class with solid core and It was such a great workout . and felt accomplished after. I took a full body class with Christian . He was really nice and motivating . I will definitely recommend this class. It made me realize that I need to pay attention to my core more and I will definitely return again.

Ive been coming here for almost 3 mos now. Everything has been pretty good so far. The staff is friendly and so are the members. In fact ive already made a few acquaintances with some of the regs that come at my usual "time slot"...

Just in Philly for the weekend and found this Y for a sauna and cold shower—what a nice facility and friendly staff. Plenty of parking in front. I didn’t work out or swim but the changing rooms were very nice and the sauna was hot. I love that I can use my YMCA membership wherever I am!

Horrible place! They don’t care about your kids! No one is ever paying attention so no one ever has any answers for you. The very first day of camp, I picked my daughter up at 4pm only to greet her barefoot. I was told she was walking around with no shoes on since “they went to the pool”. I asked “well what time did they go to the pool?” Their answer “12pm” so basically my child was walking around a building barefoot for 3 hours. My last straw was when I picked my daughter up and she had a ton of dirt in her hair. No one told me or knew anything. When I asked what happened they claimed a staff member questioned my child about the dirt in her hair. LIES! More importantly, why wasn’t I informed when I came to pick her up?! DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE! THEY ARE OBLIVIOUS, NEGLIGENT AND DONT CARE ABOUT THE CHILDREN! Everyone here just wants to do their 8 hours and collect their check. After conversing with other parents I was told their son’s arm was broken while attending this facility as well as her other child needing emergency surgery because “she ran into a tree” (that’s what they reported to the parent) and her entire mouth was split open and the top row of her teeth, loose. From “running into a tree”? More importantly she was NOT notified until she arrived for pick ups as well. WE WILL NOT BE RETURNING! They need to be investigated!

Great location they have good parking, a nice size swimming pool. What I really like is the kidzone. I can go work out for an hour or 2 and know that my daughter is in good hands!

Very clean and quickly responsive for paper towel and cleaning spray refills in the weight machines room. Eclectic group of regulars from the elderly to small groups that come in with matching t's. Front desk staff makes a point to greet you on your way in and out which is a touch I appreciate ❤️ It's a friendly place

My family has had the most amazing experience at Flip Out. Both my kids (4 and 2.5) we have done all the classes their ages allow. The mommy and me class, the 45 minute drop off class for 3 and 4 year olds. But by far my favorite program they do is their creative camp preschool. It’s half days on T/Th and is perfect for stay at home moms that want to get their kid socialized and working on kindergarten readiness skills in a way that is affordable and won’t put you out of a job. It has allowed me to spend time with my younger daughter and get things done without being outnumbered. A few things make it stand out 1. They allow small potties if your kid is at those beginning stages of potty training and they help with potty training. 2. They are very inclusive my son has autism and with class ratio of 4:1 he isn’t requiring 1:1 support. 3. They are a $1.78/hr more than the cheapest daycare in Fishtown. 4. The kindergarten readiness skills and the small environment was so helpful over the last year that my son’s BCBA thought there would be more value to having Eli do Flip Out still and traditional Pre-k 3 days a week. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Particularly for families with ND children, my son is so welcome here.

Disappointed with our experience. Signed my daughter (5yr) after reading all the good reviews. Giving a 2 star because all the equipment was great. The Fun & Flips class started great until another coach started teaching. Very passive aggressive & assumed all the children knew the moves and terminology, & when the children couldn’t remember the next move the coach got easily frustrated and talked down. Especially my child which had zero experience. We only lasted 2 classes but that was more than enough for my child’s self confidence to go down. Sadly, the coach being inattentive and lack of instructions resulted my daughter to have a back & ankle injury. Understandably, kids get hurt practicing gymnastics as it is a difficult sport, however the injury could have been avoided especially this early on. Talked to the other parents who felt similarly with the coach being too hard on the kidos.

We’ve brought both of our children to Flip Out when they were toddlers and they each loved it. Awesome coaches, a welcoming gymnastics culture, and overall a truly bright spot in the community. Can’t recommend them enough!

My boy has been with Flip Out for 6 years. It's part of our weekly routine that we love. The facility and equipment are first-rate and the coaching top-notch. As a result of his training at Flip Out, he has not only developed life skills, including how to confidently approach any obstacle; but also he has learned amazing gymnastics skills, strength, and endurance.

Great place for kids to learn gymnastics. Professors are really good with kids and the kids have lots of fun. I wish it was a bit bigger so it was more comfortable to move around, but from a gymnastics perspective they have everything that kids need.

Great coaches, great community, and great workouts! I had not gone to the gym on any kind of consistent basis for YEARS, but I now find myself going at least 3-4x/week. The workouts are challenging (in the best way possible) - I always leave feeling like I’ve worked hard and accomplished something. The coaches are knowledgeable, provide personalized attention, and ensure that you’re doing all the movements correctly and safely. Definitely stronger and healthier thanks to CFR!

I love CrossFit Renaissance! They’ve made me feel comfortable there since the moment I joined. All the coaches are great and super helpful and take time for each individual in class. I am able to bring my almost 2 year old daughter and still get a full workout in!

Joining CFR 2.5 years ago was hands-down one of the best decisions I've ever made. You won't find a more welcoming group of people, and I take aaaaaages to warm up so that's really saying something! Thanks to these folks, I'm in the best physical and mental shape of my life at 40 years old (or is it young?). I'm looking forward to continuing here for years to come. Hats off to all the coaches for a job well done. ✨️

Since joining CFR I have not only reignited my passion for my own fitness journey, but also found a community of competitive, loving individuals. Each person I work out with at CFR is an inspiration to me, and my only regret is that I didn’t know about this place sooner!

CrossFit Renaissance is amazing! The coaches are fantastic, providing personalized attention to ensure safe and effective workouts. The programming is challenging yet adaptable for all fitness levels. The sense of community is incredible – everyone is supportive and motivating. I've seen great improvements in my fitness since joining. Highly recommend!

Seems like immigrants are not welcome here. (Came here legally, I also speak english, just said to some old guy that I wasn't American and had some questions. And He said that I better speak "American" while I was speaking in english with him. Not welcoming at all rather find a place that doesn't judge me before I even end a sentence.

I was a coach for Costello's for several years. Tim & pat are aces! Always looking out for the kids. always charged very little for membership.I always tried to spend = amount of time with each kid.Weather you wanted to learn the fundamentals of the sport or just get a good workout all were welcomed with out any fear of bulling, prejudice or embarrassment never tolerated! still going strong after 20+years! Jim S.

I like this Gym I will be bringing my son to sign up again today he's been gone because my car was down but he liked it. He said trainers wasn't very welcoming at first but I told him his consistency will help change that Only issue y'all need Air Conditioner lol it's way to hot in there it's ridiculous but it's reasonable and keeps the kids doing something positive. Thanks to The Staff that donate their time for ppl like my son. -Ms.Toya

Hello I am here to state the jack Costello is very bad. Jack Costello kid is very annoying he always messing with someone while jump roping. And jack Costello barley teaches and lets his friends teach DONT RECOMMEND

Amazing atmosphere. Perfect mixture of hard work, grit, toughness, and welcoming. Wether you boxed for years or never toched a glove before they welcome you with open arms. Just to lose weight or become a trained fighter this place is for you. And on top of that they give back to their community. They go to great lengths to make sure the kids at the gym are prepared, disciplined, and ready, in and out of the ring.

Had an awesome time here learning Muay Thai. Judah is an exceptional teacher who really knows his stuff. The vibes here are great, and they also have a really sweet little gym area for strength/flexibility training. Highly recommend.

Judah is an attentive, patient and passionate student of martial arts. The care he has for his classes and students alike is a defining characteristic of his instruction. He teaches with heart as much as he does with an attention to technique. You will find in him a wealth of experience both as an instructor and competitor. He is clear and easy to understand-a fundamentals class that benefits even the most experienced grappler or striker-and very engaging. His experience as an instructor and competitor for many years makes him a singular student and teacher-in-one who can help you achieve your goals. It’s amazing to see how Keren and Judah join forces and built an academy from the ground up. Keren’s experience as a photographer and yoga instructor, jiujitsu practitioner, mother and entrepreneur is a testament to her work and artistry. I value their perspectives and approach to training: keep it fun, healthy and sustainable. Training with these two has been such a positive experience. I am thankful to have spent time with each of them on the mats. Connecting, learning and smiling each and every time. Something that they cultivate within and without: improving the lives of others. The Garden MMA academy will invite people of many backgrounds, talents and diverse skills. Don’t miss out on open mats or classes for your little sprouts 🌱 Sign up and become a part of The Garden.

My wife and I attended our first class, and we couldn’t have been more impressed. The instructor was incredibly patient, breaking down the moves and combinations in a way that was easy to understand, even for beginners like us. We left feeling like we got a fantastic workout, plus we learned some great new techniques. The entire experience exceeded our expectations, and we’re already looking forward to next week’s class. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an engaging and supportive workout environment!

The facility is beautiful. The mats are clean and top of the line. Judah is a wonderful coach, very knowledgeable, patient and breaks down every move in a way that you understand the mechanics of the move, when and why it would be effective in a match and how to defend, a true understanding of the art of eight limbs and bjj. Judah is such a positive and passionate coach that it's hard not to feel welcomed and a part of the team the moment you walk through the doors. The wealth of knowledge is apparent, whether it is in muay thai or Brazilian jiujitsu. You can't find a finer facility in the city. Judah and Keren have brought a truly great academy to reality and I can't recommend it more. I have trained at many gyms over the years and have never felt more at home than I have here.

The Garden MMA is truly a gem in the heart of the Germantown community, located conveniently near Wayne Junction. Juda and Keren have created an inspiring and safe space that caters to everyone—whether you’re experienced, new, a hobbyist, or a competitor. If you value authenticity, community. and a raw, real environment, The Garden MMA delivers. I’m especially impressed by the gym’s cleanliness, the thoughtful use of the space, and its ideal location—close to my home and the R1 train station. The layout is both functional and calming, with big, bright windows that let in natural light, creating a zen-like, feng shui atmosphere as you train. In the winter, the warm and cozy vibes are exactly what you need. The inclusivity here is a major plus. They offer women’s self-defense and yoga classes, making the gym welcoming for everyone. I felt completely at ease during my visit and am excited to sign up for a membership in January. I highly recommend checking out The Garden MMA—this gym is truly special!

I've been a student here since I was 6 years old. I will be 21 in a few weeks and will be testing for my 4th degree black belt in 2025. Sensei Mark has helped me be the man I am today. He not only trained me in karate, he also is someone I can count on if I need him off the mat. Sensei Steve and Sensei Lahai are the big brothers I've always wanted. And Ms.Alicia...all I can say is that she is the glue that pulls it all together. This has been my second home and I don't know where I would be if my mom hadn't taken me there.

Amerikick offers a wonderful martial arts program for people of all ages. They provide not only lessons in self defense but in self confidence, teamwork, respect for yourself as well as others and self discipline. The staff is so professional and welcoming, and the Sensei's make for awesome role models. Finding a home at AmeriKick has been a highlight of 2020.

Great Karate studio with amazing instructors. Head Sensei Mark has been teaching karate in the northeast philly area for over 25 years, he is an icon. Still the best in the business

Amerikick is amazing! The senseis are so dedicated, knowledgeable, fun, and engaging. I love watching my son have a great time while developing new skills and gaining confidence. I hope to try out the kickboxing class soon myself. Highly recommend!

My sons and I were first introduced to Amerikick Northeast back in 2015, when my oldest was 3 at the time (he is now 11). Their dad and I were looking for a sport/activity for him that would not only be engaging, but something that would really be good for his growth and development. We lived around the corner from the studio, and decided to try out a class. I’ll never forget the day I first spoke to Sensei Alicia (one of the owners) on the phone, inquiring about classes and hearing how we could try a class out. She was so helpful and accommodating, and I was very eager for my son to try out his first class. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend the first one, but I’ll never forget hearing all about it from their dad. How friendly the staff were, how welcoming and inviting they were…and that was when I first heard about one of their teachers, Sensei Steve! How great he was with our son, and how engaging he was with the kids! My son was a bit timid that first class but I truly believe that it was the encouragement and support that he received from Sensei Steve that really made all the difference. And from that point on, karate was a HUGE hit in our household! He looked forward to going to classes and I really saw a difference in his confidence over the years. The senseis supported his growth and development, and always made sure that he was enjoying himself. I’ll never forget that when my son needed encouragement, because he wasn’t thriving at his new elementary school years later, that it was Sensei Mark (who is the other owner, and another teacher at the studio) who took the time to talk to my son, and really showed continuous support for my son to improve at school. See, that’s what makes Amerikick Northeast stand out as being literally THE best karate studio in the Philadelphia area…the care and compassion they have for their students. They truly make you feel like family and they are absolutely incredible at instructing their students! No matter if your child is shy, or outgoing, they have this indescribable way of honing in on their students needs and really doing what it takes to make karate such an enjoyable sport for all ages. Things were so great that we even enrolled our other son when he turned 3 as well! …Whatever your needs are with the classes, Sensei Alicia will always be there to help and guide you in the right direction. Literally, one of the most beautiful souls that I have ever met! To know her, is to love her. Overall, these people are impeccable with their devotion and love to the sport of karate and it shows in everything they do. Years later, my sons and I moved to another state, but to this day, we are still so close with the Amerikick Northeast staff because that’s what happens when you join their studio…you gain another “family” and form bonds that are everlasting. I will forever be grateful to Sensei Alicia, Sensei Mark and Sensei Steve for graciously welcoming my sons all those years and treating us with nothing but kindness and courteous respect. You will absolutely fall in love with every Sensei there, and with the studio as a whole. Five stars just simply isn’t enough to rate AmeriKick Northeast…they are top of the line! I promise, you WON’T be disappointed.
