Best Gyms with Free Weights near Bristol, Connecticut

Got scammed ; charged me 85$ before the new year now they trying to charge me 65$ not even a month into my membership. Not including my monthly membership. They’re trying to do this before it becomes a law that companies need to make it accessible to cancel the membership as easy as it was to sign up for it. Very shady and scummy. And then to cancel they wanna charge me that $65 even tho I chose the month to month option.

I've been to several Edge clubs in CT, and this has been the best one so far. The facility is well kept, and they have the nicest bathrooms and locker rooms I've ever seen in a gym. Equipment is all updated, which is fantastic. (Even if I do prefer the older style hip abductor machines.) The staff is very friendly! Shout out to the staff member Rautinet for being absolutely awesome, sweet, and helpful by assisting me in setting up my awards account. The only thing that could make this gym better is if there was a pool. (A girl can dream, right? 😝)

I signed up for a membership with Edge this past weekend and signed up for a yoga class that was amazing. I also set up my kick start appointment with Tim. I’ve been interested in getting a personally trainer for a while but hesitant for many reasons. Main reason being intimidated or taken advantage of when it comes to price. When I sat down with Brett, he went through everything in detail and showed me on the screens exactly what was happening. At no time did I feel pressured to do anything. Both Brett and Tim made me feel very comfortable. So comfortable that I signed up to have Tim be my personal trainer and I can’t wait to get started on my goals thanks to Tim and Brett

I loved this place until they tried to take money from my banking account WITHOUT my knowledge. Good luck trying to cancel your membership. Prior to membership I had a legit family emergency situation which and they told me it would be an easy breezy cancellation once I moved back to my out-of-state residency. I'm STILL on the phone with them trying to tell them to stop charging me. They went ahead and charged a secondary credit card which I didn't know they had. Good gym, absolutely terrible cancellation from both Edge and their billing partner, ABC Fitness. CHECK YOUR BANK STATEMENTS!

I absolutely love Planet Fitness! The gym is always clean, the equipment is well-maintained, and the staff is super friendly and helpful. The judgment-free atmosphere makes working out so much more enjoyable, no matter your fitness level. The affordable membership and great perks, like the hydromassage chairs, are just the cherry on top. Highly recommend!

I am glad that I joined Planet Fitness. Facility is huge, there is always plenty of equipment available for use, and all of the equipment is pretty new and well maintained. The staff is welcoming and the facilities is very clean.

I enjoy this gym a lot. There’s a good variety of equipment and the staff is very courteous. I have been recommending this gym to my family and friends

It’s a decent gym for the price. You definitely get what you pay for in terms of lack of variety and machine availability. The glutes section has great machines but only 1 of each machine. 2 of each on hip abductors at least, still not really enough for how crowded this place can get. I just wish this gym was a little bigger and had some duplicates of the more popular machines. I don’t even use the stairmaster but only 2 working is crazy given how popular that is. Staff is also mid at best, again getting what you pay for.

What they advertise is nothing than a scam‼️You become a member and then they charge your bank account with fees that were never discussed. You have no real knowledge of what you will be getting charged. The charges were not discussed entirely. You don’t actually know what you’re going to be charged until after you become a member. I did contact them directly! I spoke to someone in person, which in the end resolved nothing because they continue to charge me!! RIDICULOUS

This gym far exceeds gyms like The Edge or any of those other big commercial gyms. It’s not the most luxurious place but in my opinion a gym isn’t meant to be luxurious. I love how it’s big enough where you don’t feel suffocated by all the people and I never have to fight to use equipment. Also offers some pretty unique machines that you don’t see at other gyms. I’ll be sad the day I leave but until then I’ll continue to enjoy it!!

Great place but the benches are so close together that I can smell the guys booty who is spotting his buddy at the bench next to me while I'm doing my set

Editing per the gym’s comment to add that this is a great gym, and I’ve been a member for several years. My only complaint is that the AC never gets turned on until enough members have complained about it. Not only is uncomfortable for members, but i can’t help but feel bad for the employees that have to sit in the heat like that all day. Especially when temperatures outside are 90 degrees.

Great atmosphere, staff and a welcoming community. This gym has a variety of equipment. You will never find yourself waiting in line for a machine. There are 4 squat racks, a turf, plenty of cables and plate loaded machines. There is even a posing room!

I believe Ron has created an environment that makes this gym among the best gyms in CT. The gym reinvests at a decent level, machines are well maintained, and there is a good mix of programs. Great value for the money, and friendly people.
