Best Gyms with Free Weights near Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

This place charge me a late fee after I had fraud committed on my ATM card and I was one day late, When I pay, they said they would cancel the late fee, but they didn’t. They lied and now two days later I’m stuck paying a late fee. Been a loyal member for three years. This is BS. I’m on disability dying of cancer. What a bunch of D’s!

This place is humongous, the biggest Planet Fitness I've been to. In addition to the expansive main equipment area for cardio and resistance workouts, there is a separate partition for stretching, and additional areas for the 12 minutes abs, and 30 minute circuit. Then there's the relaxation zone for pampering: nearly a dozen horizontal and vertical tanning rooms, 1 red light therapy room, 2 hydro-massage beds, and 2 massage chairs. I've been to half a dozen fitness establishments including the Y, New York Sports Club and LA Fitness, but this is by far the cleanest facility ever. The locker room doesn't smell, the shower curtains aren't moldy, the vanity tops are constantly being wiped. I'm really impressed how PF emphasizes on the cleanliness of its facilities. This is also the only gym I've visited where there are separate dressing rooms inside men's locker room. Sure there's no swimming pool nor sauna or steam room which I always look forward to using whenever I'm given the opportunity, but for $10 per month, what they do offer is still a bundle of values that's unbeatable. Aside from the purple theme, what I absolutely don't like about this PF is the location. I literally dread the ingress traffic from the Carlisle Pike approach which's often backed up all the way to the 581 ramps, and the egress out of the Sporting Hill Rd where I need to be aggressive exiting out of the strip mall. Given that the best time for my workout is right after work when the conditions go from bad to worse, the stress that I'd have to endure is an absolute deal-breaker for me. If your schedule and/or route can circumvent this, you should absolutely take advantage of this nice facility.

Hadn't been to PF in a while and was pleased to see the equipment was in great shape. Lots of variety in types of weighlifting equipment, multiples of each machine so there was no wait, clean and organized.

Absolutely unacceptable customer treatment, cancelled my membership and three months later got charged for it after not going to the gym once; serious scammer tendencies by the person/manager who did this.

The Planet Fitness in The Hampden Plaza is by far my favorite. Christian and his staff make you feel welcomed and have to trouble jumping in and lending a hand if unsure what exactly to do, the atmosphere is very welcoming.

Love this gym! The quality inside is very nice and everyone is pretty friendly and lets you do your own thing. One of my favorite pieces of equipment is the cable machine that I use to work my triceps for a pulldown and extension, a killer workout! The two things I think that would make this gym a 5 star for me is some more maintenance on the equipment, the machines especially. Multiple pieces have some wear and tear on them and look a bit damaged, like the pectoral fly machine which has its chord attached to the plates disconnected from the metal pole that lets you select your weight. The other is someone greeting you at the door. I know most of the time whoever is at the front is usually cleaning around the area of the gym, but a friendly face greeting you would be a great way to start a workout and feel motivated to push yourself. All in all, great gym and I will be happy to keep coming back!

Very nice facility! I like the mixture of equipment from free weights to various machine. Free weights are usually my preference. Great value as well.

Awesome facility, got all the possible machines one would need for a great workout in and overall perfect condition for any kind of training 💪💪💪

They have a very clean facility, and the staff always seems to be working to maintain or improve it. There is a high variety of equipment (and plenty of it) to accommodate any workout. My personal favorite is the cable area (one of the two pictured). The staff is super friendly and welcoming! The price is reasonable and there are never overwhelming crowds. Would recommend this gym to anyone!

I tried for a few days to reach this gym and couldn’t get ahold of someone on the phone. When I arrived I was let in my another member. I told them I needed to see the inside of the gym before I wanted to purchase a guest pass without even being able to see what equipment was available. When I went inside I found that this place had been TERRIBLY taken care of, and was rarely staffed at all. Two of the stalls in the bathroom were out of order. The benches and seats are all falling apart in everything. And nothing was clean at all. The water in the water fountain tasted like the filter hadn’t been changed since 1978 and was probably a safety hazard to drink and the vending machines are empty. I left absolutely disappointed in what’s happened to this place. 0/10 recommend.

The staff at crunch is friendly, and very helpful. I've been working with Alec Stonesifer for the past six weeks. He has been very helpful getting me back to working out. I just started back to gym after 6years away. He's been very good at keeping me from going to hard since I just started back, and very helpful in rehabbing my old shoulders. The gym is always clean, and the equipment is maintained well. Would recommend Alec for anyone who wants to get back into working out, or need someone to help navigate all the information out there about diet etc.

Crunch in Mechanicsburg has become my favorite gym! Rick helped me so much today with a 360 body scan to see my progress since my last one was back in September. He helped me understand everything that it tracked and reassured me that I have made so much progress since my previous one which is always the best thing to hear especially when you’re doubting it. He made me feel like all the work I have been putting into the gym is showing greatly on the scan and gave me the motivation to keep going. He helped me understand that what I am doing is definitely on the right track. He was so helpful with everything especially when I needed that extra push to keep at my goals. The drive is about 40 minutes from where I live and the staff and kids club is well worth it. My kids love getting to go play while I get to focus on myself for a couple hours. It helps me get some free time to focus on myself while my children are well cared for by the kids club staff. If you’re looking for a new gym especially with a kids club Crunch in Mechanicsburg is definitely the right choice for you!

This place is downright the chillest and most friendly gym I’ve ever been to. The workers are sweet and you don’t get this overbearing gymtimidation while working out. The best part of the whole gym? My trainer Jamie C! She is the sweetest, most encouraging and caring trainer I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She’s easy to talk to, amazing to work with and a great listener. 10/10 highly recommend her.

I’ve been coming to Crunch for a few months and the gym has been great! The staff is always friendly and helpful and the facilities are well kept. I also have been doing personal training sessions with Nate G. He has been super helpful in setting up a plan for me to follow that fits my goals and plans. He also has helped me learn more about lifting methods and techniques that has been very helpful. I would highly recommend Nate as a trainer.

Highly recommend Jamie C as a personal trainer! This is my first time working with a trainer and I’m glad I found her! She’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient and supportive. She’s customized a fitness plan that works for me so that I look forward to doing it. She really is the best and Crunch is lucky to have Jamie C on their team!

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The equipment is sturdy and in good shape. The overall cleanliness of the gym is good! It is never overcrowded, and I never need to wait for a machine. The best part, after my workout, heading to the black card spa and getting a chair massage!

One of my favorite experiences going to the gym is the atmosphere that is created.. it’s free from judgement and the environment is friendly, fun and welcoming. One of the employees, De’shan, has been there since I started going to the gym. As I began my fitness journey, he’s always had a smile on his face, he is positive and encouraging. From the very beginning he was supportive, helpful and informative. Employees like De’shan help to create such a great environment within the gym. Along with bringing such a positive vibe to the place, De’shan is always working hard, every time I see him he is cleaning, ensuring that the gym is up to wonderfully kept standards, taking care of equipment and members in need. I’m thankful to have had such a positive experience at the gym and a lot of it is thanks to helpful employees such as De’shan. My hope is that his hard work and kind, positive attitude is recognized and appreciated.

Super clean gym! Very friendly people working there. De’Shan has s very polite and always ready to help. Also thanks to Mandi this facility is super clean and good vibe persists there. Keep up good work . Planet fitness is the best!

Signed up today. Overall great experience! Thanks to Elaina who is really amazing & helped me through out! Been to the other gym & the staff are not at all friendly to me but this location is very peaceful and staff is awesome. I just wish they are open 24hrs.

I’ve been going here since about the time they opened and I’ve been to a couple different Planet Fitness in the area. The reason I continue to go here (even though I started a new job recently further away) is because of the friendly staff and the very kept up with equipment. One person that stands out in particular is Thomas. Every time I go there, he always has a friendly smile, greets me and even knows me by name! Recently, on my way out of the gym, he looked at me and said “Hey man, I’m proud of you for staying so consistent and showing up”. That meant the world to me being on a fitness journey and losing 155 pounds so far. He (and the other staff members) are the reason I continue to use (and recommend) this location to anyone! Keep up the great work!

I'm still pretty new to Crossfit, but I LOVE the support from the other members and coaches here. When the WOD tests my strength, endurance and flexibility and I feel like quitting, there has always been someone who redirected my focus by jumping into finish the WOD with me or said something brilliant that helped push me to finish my last set. Thank You Crossfit Condor for helping me become a stronger, healthier, happier version of me.

I’ve been to countless CrossFit gyms, and there are very few that stick with me like CrossFit Condor has. It’s a locally owned great community driven workout space. Whenever I pass through a town I always try to test out the local gyms and this was a very fun facility. Really nice coaches who were great at working with a wide variety of skill levels, they weren’t afraid to show an old CrossFit dog a new trick or two as well. Next time I’m in town I’ll definitely stop in for a muscle up or two ;)

CLEAN, PROFESSIONAL, MOTIVATING!! The gym trainers work with you no matter what level of fitness your starting at. From there they continue to motivate and work in additional activities to keep classes fun and engaging. Overall it’s a top notch gym with an Amazing staff that will without a doubt deliver the results your looking for.

Great Gym! Crossfit Condor has been life changing! It sure beats traditional gyms, everyday is different and there are people of all levels. My wife and 14 year old son also enjoy it very much. Great location too.

I was nervous at first, trying out Crossfit for the first time IN MY LIFE. I'm not in the best of shape but I want to find something I can stick with and make a change in my life. I have tried traditional workouts and a slew of "fad diets" along the way but have a hard time sticking to something. A friend invited me to try out this gym so I went. The first time I went wasn't pretty but I tried my hardest, the coach and the other people working out were really supportive. I have seen myself getting better every time I go too. What makes this good is its dynamic and the support of everyone there. I plan to keep coming :)

The gym itself is in desperate need of updating a lot of their equipment. A lot of the equipment has rips in the backing and seats and the treadmills have plugs for iPods (that's how old they are). At my last training appointment there was a leak in the roof and there was water all over the floor. My first trainer was nice enough, but I felt like I was just a run of the mill client. I was hoping my trainer would show me how to breath effectively and help me along and explain why and what we are doing (etc). It's just like "here you go" and gave me barbells and just "do squats" after showing me once how to do them. Again, my trainer was nice enough, I just didn't feel like I got the training I was expecting for the price. For $50 more a month, I'm found a trainer with their own private gym, measured everything about my body (to show progress every month) and was way more motivating. Plus, the exercises that were suggested that I do at home were seriously long and difficult (for my level). If I could do all of this at home, why do I need a personal trainer? My second trainer (the first one left to go back to school) was even worse. I would get on some equipment and he would not even instruct me on how many reps he was expecting, etc. I would have to ask every time. Just not the experience I was expecting. Just a note, they only had 6 and 12 month agreements and I requested 3 months (no way am I getting locked in to a 6 month and finding out it's not a good program). They allowed me to sign up for 3 months.

Signing up with Performance Fitness Training is the best thing I have ever done for myself. Nate is an amazing trainer- knowledgeable, encouraging and fun! Every session is packed with nutrition tips - Nate practices what he preaches, makes you feel like he is on this journey to a healthier place with you. Nate is not only a Personal Trainer he is a sculptor! As the pounds melt away and the muscles are strengthened the new body slowly emerges under the guidance of “my personal sculptor”! Thank you, Nate! Aimee Sangrey

This is my first time to train, and I’m glad I made the investment. Although the trainers are quite a bit younger, they seem to know what I need. I didn’t realize how much it was actually helping me, until I spent a week helping take care of my grandson who weighs about 20 lbs. I had taken care of him a few months earlier when he was lighter, and it was so much easier this time. I had only been training a little over a month. I want to retain muscle as I age, and am now sold on the importance of this.

Let me start by saying, if I were to rate my personal trainer, Kobe, I would give him 5 stars, however the business itself absolutely deserves zero stars. I am not one to normally write reviews but wanted to warn anyone who is considering this business to stay away. I signed a 12 month contract in order to receive a discounted rate at each session (its like 4 dollars a session I believe) I asked the trainer who was signing me up if I could cancel anytime and he said yes but failed to mention I would need to pay 35% of what was left from my contract in order to get out of the contract which was over 1000 dollars, this is also not listed in the contract I signed. I assumed I would just pay the difference in the cost of the sessions if I did need to cancel as this would seem to make more sense and be more reasonable. I needed to get out because my schedule at work unexpectedly changed and I could no longer make sessions. I tried to explain my situation and the "customer service" representative asked if I ever read a contract and that the 35% fee was a courtesy as they should make me pay the full amount. She said that the business cannot be held responsible for me not comprehending the contract. The contract felt sneaky and non transparent to me and when I told her that,, she immediately said " let me stop you right there, it is not because I wrote it." I had 4 other people read it who also agreed that the wording was non transparent, she uses the word draft instead of payment and when I looked up the term, a bank "draft", It isn't even a debit card payment , it's something along the lines of a money order, It is a learning experience for me to read contracts more closely and to not trust anyone on their word. On top of everything. I didn't even use their nutrition services they offered because I have a degree in nutrition. This place needs to get with the times, stop offering contracts or at least be more open with customers ahead of time. If I was told this ahead of time, I never would've signed up and they knew that so they tricked me. I hope this helps someone avoid falling into the same trap. Also just found out crunch is almost 60 dollars cheaper per month (even with the discount they gave me for signing a 12 month contract) WITHOUT a contract and they also do body scans every 2 weeks. Hoping to have a much more positive experience there!

When I approached the owner of New York Fitness asking for a suggestion for a personal trainer to help me get on track with a disciplined fitness routine, he immediately said that meeting with Nate/PFT would be a good fit for me, and he was so right!! Nate developed a plan for upper body, lower body and core routines taking into account my age, osteo arthritis, and a knee replacement in my future. With each visit, he always first asks how my low back and knees are feeling and adjusts the routines if need be. He has helped me to be more disciplined as I do exercises at home and by also following a WW diet plan, I have reached my 25 lb weight loss goal. I am stronger now and even willing to do those darn planks when he asks me! Thank you Nate for caring!

The music is always lively so when I forget my headphones i don’t feel too sad! The equipment is pretty new as it seemingly rotates every few years! There is this new dress code it that helps to remind me that yes this gym is located on a Christian campus and comfortability doesn’t need to mean I get stared at while trying to work out!

The fit center is super clean and very well laid out. The staff is always friendly and wait times for machines/free weights are never too long. Accessible for students and community members!

Awesome environment for people of all levels of fitness and experience. The Falcon Fitness Center has something for everyone whether that be bikes, treadmills, pelotons, group exercise classes, free weights, or racks. The workers are all so kind and helpful with anything you have questions about. I undoubtedly recommend this gym for anyone!

Great atmosphere, great equipment, great workout. Scanning in can be a little difficult and it can get crowded but it's a gym so that's expected. Overall great place to form new habits.

is a great experience and great environment. awesome equipment with even more dumbbells and countless machines. clean and organized and is simply a great place to train!

CrossFit Pnuema has become one of my favorite places! I love this community and this place more than I ever anticipated. I was completely new to CrossFit and didn’t really know what to expect. The entire experience continues to exceed anything I could have imagined. Coach JB always makes sure we understand the proper technique for each movement we’re doing and he always provides modifications for those who need them and ways to safely ramp up for those who are able to workout at a higher skill level. Coach JB and the entire community is so supportive of everyone, at every level. They notice when I’m not there and they genuinely care about my overall health, both inside and outside of the gym. I’ve made friends quickly and am healthier, fitter, and happier, and sleep better than I have in years…and I am so grateful for a Coach who focuses on overall health and is so caring. I would recommend CrossFit Pneuma to anyone!

After my knee surgery in Feb I started back at crossfit in May. July tested my deadlift and could only do 155 lbs. Tonight I retested hoping to hit 175 lbs. I hit 200 lbs and could have possibly even done more! This is thanks to my coaches who do not see my knees as a weakness but a challenege. I can show up every day and no matter what the workout is they will find movements that push me and give the same results. They make sure I am not only doing the movements correctly but great form and not causing pain. The support, amazing coaches, and awesome environment has helped with my joint pain, feel stronger, helped me love myself and body as is, and has gotten me through some tough times. So thank you Coach Justin..Coach Shannon and Crossfit Pneuma. By far best decision I have made for myself and I look forward to going and seeing eveyone and getting a great workout every day.

When you walk through the door at CrossFit Pneuma, you are coming home to see your family. I am not a person who enjoys working out, yet I look forward to coming. This is a warm friendly community. The facility is clean, and the coaches are careful and well trained. We spend time learning and practicing the movements. This is a good place. You will be welcomed.

I have been a member here for 10 years. Can’t imagine where I would be without this great community. Justin and Hannah are the BEST coaches! They work with each athlete to make sure you reach your personal goals. So many people ask me about getting hurt doing CF, that only happens with poor coaching. I am working to remain healthy and functionally strong as I age, gracefully!! Don’t be afraid to try! We are warm and welcoming!

When I first moved here from Minneapolis, I was in a dilemma that will I be able to find a good gym here in Mechanicsburg. One of my close friend referred me to this box. Never thought I would be able to fall in love with CrossFit and with this amazing community. Justin and Pneuma community never made me feel like I am new or an outsider! I am really going to miss this energetic and fun workout place where you can really experience what transformation is. I have had an amazing experience working out at this box. Justin Bowers is a real good trainer. He pushes you hard to go extra mile. I have personally benefited from his training and love the way how he explains each movements before the workout. He also emphasizes daily on important cues which are very important for any cross fit athletes like consistency, intensity and a right workout ethic. I thoroughly enjoyed my workouts here with all the athletes, they all are very encouraging, supportive and fun personalities. Made some real good friends. Crossfit Pneuma is a great community and feels like family! Going to miss this place for sure back in Minnesota. Highly recommended! :)
