Best Gyms with Free Weights near Pottstown, Pennsylvania

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.

Been a member of this gym since before the current franchise ownership and I’ve been happier since 1440 took over! It is a 24/7 gym which appeals to all life and work schedules. They have plenty of equipment and space. There’s a tanning bed and a sauna. It Is clean, and I’ve made some great friends here. I love my gym!

Small gym with very welcoming staff. The change rooms are clean and the sauna is functional. So far I really enjoy this gym and plan to continue using it. Thanks for being great

fitness 1440 in north coventry is the best gym ever. unfortunately i moved away and it was too far for me to continue going here, but i cannot recommend this gym enough! they have an affordable membership, especially for students. the gym and locker room was always very clean and the equipment is very nice! i am a powerlifter and they had everything i needed to train properly. the members and staff were also very nice and respectful! any concerns you have, the staff will take very seriously and make things right for you. i wish i lived closer and could’ve continued going here. if you’re considering joining, please do it! you will not regret it!

If you want to live your best life, you have to work out. 1440 has the equipment and the facilities to get a strength responce. Watching the other members doing their routines is inspiring. The scene is comfortable--everybody is having a good time. We are lucky 1440 is right here for us to use.

Very nice local gym. This gym has a nice set up of free weights, weight machines, and treadmills Everything you need and more for a good workout The crowd is always small and local which is nice Nice staff members as well
