I love working out here. Never super crowded and I can always get on the machines I need. No one uses more than one piece of equipment at a time which is so nice. I have met a lot of wonderful people here. Alway very clean. Staff is fun and happy. Great atmosphere. If you hate crowds of people on their phone or just talking all the time then this is the place for you! Fun classes too. Been working out 8 months, lost 25 lbs and countless inches!

Visited the fitness center as a guest. Personally, I don't require a gym membership as I workout at home. However, if I was part of the network I would absolutely take advantage of the facility. It is far more impressive on the inside and has plenty of space. Also, I attended a Zumba class (really don't go to these) but was very impressed by the instructor Caressa who made everyone extremely comfortable and had a great routine.

Love the facilities and the classes. Zumba and cycling are two of favorites at Cedar Crest.

I am writing to share my experience during my recent visit to your facility with my daughter as new members. Upon our arrival, we encountered Robin at the front desk. Unfortunately, we found her demeanor to be unprofessional and unwelcoming. As first-time visitors and black card members, we anticipated a brief orientation or tour of the gym, particularly of the spa and various amenities available to us. Despite expressing multiple times that we were unfamiliar with the facility, Robin appeared visibly annoyed when I asked simple questions, such as the location of the locker room. Additionally, I observed her interacting with other customers in a manner that seemed dismissive, which contributed to an overall unpleasant atmosphere. This experience led us to feel unwelcome and ultimately resulted in the cancellation of our membership on the same day. I want to emphasize that I found the gym itself to be clean and well-equipped, and I appreciate the potential for training sessions. However, the lack of a supportive and friendly introduction significantly impacted our impression of the facility. I hope this feedback can be taken constructively to enhance the experience for future members. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This location is huge along with friendly employees. Really clean environment and lots of equipment to choose from! Rest rooms + locker rooms and showers are clean as well. Everything is well maintained.

Genuinely my favorite gym in the area. Best machines, equipment, quality. The only issue is the woman in the management position, I believe she is at least. Glasses, red hair, almost certain she has an Ashley piercing. Almost everytime I go there is an issue. I keep getting asked for an ID to get let in as a guest, even though I was let in previously with other workers. Same situation happened when I had the subscription and my friend was a guest. They could have taken my picture there but didn't. Been going for years but management is frustrating.

Everytime I come here I'm always greeted with a smile from the employees. They are the nicest and most helpful. The gym itself is super clean and always well maintained. I love this planet fitness 💪 ❤️😍

The membership prices are unbeatable. The equipment and facilities are well maintained. The staff trys to be friendly but most of the time their occupied with their cell phones. It's a good gym for the casual member or healthy enthusias. Unfortunately, it can get really crowded during peak hours. For the moderate to advanced weight lifting individual or alpha male the equipment is very limited. The dumbbells are limited to deter alpha males from joining. The free weights and barbells are non-existent. Nevertheless, if your creative and know how to train your body properly even the advanced trainer can make it work.

When I first walked into Steel Fitness Premier I immediately noticed the laid-back yet energizing vibe. The space is bright and open, with large windows letting in natural light. One thing I really appreciated was the quiet, focused energy—it's not the kind of gym that feels overly crowded or chaotic, making it perfect for people who want to focus on their workouts without unnecessary distractions. The staff were incredibly friendly from the start. From the front desk, the management and to the trainers, everyone seemed genuinely happy to help. When I asked about equipment or the schedule for group classes, the staff were quick to offer information without being pushy. I also noticed the personal trainers interacting with clients throughout their sessions giving tips, encouragement, and a friendly word when needed. When it comes to cleanliness, this club, not just a gym, exceeded my expectations. The equipment was always wiped down after use and they are always in good shape. I saw staff regularly walking around cleaning the machines. The locker rooms were great, with stocked amenities. It's clear that the club lifestyle and environment is a priority here, which is a big plus for me as a member. Overall, my experience at Steel Fitness Premier has been very positive. You get what you pay for, definitely worth it as there is no other club/gym in the Lehigh Valley that has all of the amenities and everything Steel Fitness has to offer. The welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and cleanliness make it a great choice for anyone looking for a comfortable and motivating space to work out.

Stopped in for a visit to tour the facility and get costs. Husband and I just moved into the area and wanted to get right back into our routines. Not only were we ignored completely by not one but TWO employees neither even acknowledged us at all!!! If zero was an option to rate, that would be my choice. To the gentleman that was at the desk. You saw us and couldn’t even stop the phone-call you were on long enough to even hold up a finger saying one moment. Nothing?!?! And to the younger female that walked back and forth twice and did the same?? Ok. Just saying that I could have completely walked past the front desk without checking in at all and not one person would have questioned me. Guess maybe I don’t need a membership. Maybe I’ll test that theory. To anyone paying for a membership, why bother?

I have not been to this Gym in 7 months because I moved. I was told if I want to cancel I would have to pay $500. The customer service representative suggested I just suck it up and wait for the contract to end. So it’s the end of my contract and I call to let them know I’m definitely not joining again , just for them to tell me they already enrolled me into the next year. No warning, no email, no reminder just that they already enrolled me into the next year. I ask them to please reconsider my contract ends in October, I have been paying $100 a month to a gym I don’t go to , I moved.I’m trying to get out of this contract. They tell me I’m going to have to pay for November, and if I want to cancel I have to come in and sign papers but I still have to give another $100 for November . Are you kidding me??? I asked several times if they could reconsider , and the answer was NO. This is not customer service. This is not right! Considering my circumstances, that I don’t even go to the gym, and I’ve been trying to get out of the contract in over 7 months now. The woman manager I spoke to was a robot!!!!The decency! They are a scam, no mercy here. They could care less about their customers!!!

I have really enjoyed my experience here. Friendly staff, always willing to engage in conversation and help out as needed. Equipment is good quality and functional. Locker room and spin studio are recently renovated and enjoyable to use. Shoutout to Patrick and Jasmine, always super friendly and happy to be at the gym!

I've been lifting and going to gyms for about 16 years. This is not my favorite weight room, but is probably the best total package fitness center in the area. The reason for 3 stars is the lack of preventative maintenance. I have complained off and on for the 1.5 years that I've been a member here (and I average 5-6 days a week attendance) about the dumbbells being loose. They may sometimes tighten them, but not on a regular schedule. Leaders: to fix the problem, go around the corner to harbor freight and pick up some threadlock. Spend about an hour with a drill and remove all of the securing bolts in the dumbbells, put a little threadlock on, and screw them back in. That's all it would take to forever fix your problem. Plus, most of the equipment needs oiling and deep cleaning. But there's no place better, so I give you that much. UPDATE 30may24 - dumbbells still loose... Update 20June2024: why fix things when you can tape them? Update 30Jul2024- dumbbells still loose! Update 12Aug2024- 30lb dumbbells almost came loose in my hands. Reported equipment issues to front desk yesterday, watched him write it down, will update if it ever gets fixed

Great CrossFit gym. The coaches are super knowledgeable, the members create that CrossFit community you expect and the owner is outstanding and really understands her business. So happy I chose to drop into this gym while visiting the area for work. Cannot recommend highly enough.

CrossFit Lehigh Valley is the best gym you could go to. Everything is adaptable and it is for everyone! I modify a lot of things due to past injuries and all of the coaches are willing to create the necessary modifications. The owner, and best coach in the world, Natasha goes above and beyond to make the gym more like a home so the members truly are family. Every one is welcome here and pushed to do their best. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. The gym is well organized, taken very good care of, and most importantly CLEAN. If you haven’t tried the essential oil cold towels after a summer WOD you are missing out !!! First class is free!!

I have been doing crossfit for 3 years and I really enjoyed this gym. As a drop in athlete, it felt great to get attention from a good coach with specific, directed instruction. The owner, Tasha, welcomed my and spoke with me as well which I really enjoyed. As a clinician in physical therapy, I appreciated the knowledge of the coach during the session using proper terms and muscles used. Would recommend to new people looking to try or for drop ins as well for a great WOD.

A truly transformative fitness experience! With coaches as fully equipped as their gym, there is always something new to learn, and room to grow (gains). The top of the line staff can scale nearly every exercise to almost any level, if you're just starting out or are looking for a more rehabilitative environment this is the place. If you're looking to go hard, and max out on every lift, this is also the place. Shout out to the worlds greatest coach Tash! (also Kim and D

CrossFit Lehigh Valley is an amazing gym! Over the past several years, I’ve belonged to several CrossFit gyms, both in the Lehigh Valley and Pittsburgh, and this place ranks as my top favorite gym. The facility is huge, and I really like the programming. I love Coach Krystol in particular; she does an amazing job of correcting my forms for the weightlifting moves, and she’s always so encouraging and positive!! She’s the best!

I use the rowing machine every visit. Unfortunately, the two here are in various states of DIY disrepair. I’ve mentioned this to someone at the front desk twice now over a few weeks. One rowing machine handle has been “fixed” with electrical tape, which hits you in the leg every time you row. The other one is simply inoperable as someone tied the handle back on upside down. I’ve been to other locations that have much newer, nicer, and easier to use rowing machines. I’m not sure why rowing machines that are clearly beyond repair are still in use. It’s embarrassing and far below what Planet Fitness’s standard should be.

Great place. The whole vibe is just amazing and the staff makes everyone feel so welcome. You can tell they really care about member experience. Everything is always spotless and working perfectly. The atmosphere is super positive and judgment-free - exactly what you want in a gym! Such a fantastic value for all the amenities you get. Been a member for months and couldn't be happier with my choice. Honestly the best gym experience I've had!

Well I think 🤔 I found my 1st World Guinness Records and I think I just burn 🔥 289 calories and run for 2.3 miles & for 3.3 miles per hour & so, I had finally figured out who I truly am and had felt like 👍 sweating 🥵, walking 🚶 faster and better than ever wait actually I had never 👎 run for 3.3 miles per hour before and that’s my story about the Dark Side of the Athletic & Competitive Immortality Expectations & that’s why my big idea 💡 for tonight is walk faster on the trim dale in Planet Fitness and so, I had finally lived happily ever after The End

If you are a Black Card Member, don't waste your time (and gas) going to the Hanover Ave, Allentown location! I heard from another member that they had different massage beds and chairs than the ones I'm currently using at my facility, so I drove all the way over there for nothing! I waited at the front desk for 10 minutes and there was not one single employee working there. I walked around and tried to find someone to help me and there was no one in sight. I signed in and tried to use the massage bed to see if maybe it'll start on its own and it did not. Why am I paying extra money for the Black Card if I can't even use it! I filled out a survey and a manager replied to me saying they are short staffed. That is unacceptable and is no excuse! The manager should have been there to make sure the facility is running smoothly and properly for us members when they are short staffed. They have no consideration that we pay extra money for the Black Card and the only way to use it is for an employee to be there to check us in.
