Best Gyms with Functional Training Equipment near Reading, Pennsylvania

Had my first personal training session today with Shakeem, he has been training my other friends for a while, so I decided to join. It was a tough workout, but so fun! Shakeem was super patient with me as this was my first time boxing, he was professional, and the gym was clean! Even had gloves for me to borrow until mine came in the mail. Highly recommend for any level boxing and a great workout!!!

Awesome place to train my son goes there has been for over a year now to learn how to box

Im just asking a question how much do you paid a month

My family and I love this facility! However, we were unaware the hours changed and drove the family out to find a dark Planet Fitness. We’re not alone— lots of others driving in/out of the parking lot while we googled what was going on.

Message to owner. It was a great place to come and get your workout in and out but as courteous and as respectful as I was the staff. I was very clean with the best gym etiquette. They judged me for recovering addiction due to scars on my arms. The gym is my therapy and way to stay sober because being fit is part of my life and when I lose my muscle and strength, it leads me to insecurities that cause me to use due to my body and strength helping me work harder at work and get better jobs!

One of the largest of the Planet Fitness I've seen. Plenty of everything you need to get your fitness on.

Barely any good machines. Nothing for hip thrusts, no free bars etc. Everything is very Generic. The Smith machines are rarely available. There’s only three of them and one is constantly broken. You’re lucky if a spray bottle works properly. Tried to walk in at 6:40 PM on a Saturday for a quick 15 minute workout and the doors were locked already.

I've been going for about a month now. Every worker or member I've interacted with has been friendly. I've seen the staff around cleaning locker rooms and refilling stations. Good environment 👍

Great gym, never really understood the hate this place gets. The membership is super cheap with great amenities. The only downside is there is only smith machines and no real squat racks or bench racks, and the dumbells only go to 75 lbs. It's not a huge deal, but I know Planet Fitness is adding in new machines soon including a hack squat( which I'm very excited about)

Hours are Sunday 7AM to 7PM. I showed up on a cold, rainy Sunday morning at 7AM. Doors were locked. I waited until 7:20AM and no employee ever showed up. There were quite a few disgruntled members saying that this has happened before because this place is run by a bunch of kids. The Sunday morning employee should be FIRED. No work ethic here. Why didn't the manager come over here to open the doors or else get another employee to open the door at 7? People expect a business to be open during their operating hours. No excuses!

Every time I go into my planet fitness, I am greeted with a smile and friendly professionalism. It is always kept very clean and if I have any questions about equipment all I need to do is ask. Al, Luca and the PF team are wonderful!

I dont use this gym but my great grandmother has been coming here for years now, she has early but strong onset dementia and this gym has always been her safe spot. She LOVED the 30 min room so much as it was where she was always at, recently there was a renovation of some sort and you guys took out everything that she adored, not only this but she had an episode due to how much it changed and her dementia flared up, she is now hospitalized for a few days. I hope you guys take this into consideration, and the others who have had issues with the new “renovations”

Very clean with good equipment. It doesn’t feel to packed either. This gym has a very good vibe as well.

I joined anytime fitness about 4 months ago, I’ve been to multiple gyms throughout my life and non of them compare to this gym. The equipment and staff are amazing! It’s very clean and organized, I haven’t had one bad moment in the gym. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. I recently started getting personally trained by Fernando at anytime fitness, and it has been an amazing experience. He has taught me a lot so far during my journey with eating, how to lift properly etc. I would definitely Recommend anytime fitness and Fernando as a personal trainer!

Joined anytime fitness about two weeks ago. This gym is very clean and equipment is all up to date. The managers are very nice and helpful.

Fantastic gym! They just updated all of their cardio equipment and I love that it connects to your watch easily. It’s extremely clean and everything is always organized so nicely. It is hardly ever packed to where it is uncomfortable and I’ve always been able to find and use any equipment I may need or want! Would highly recommend!

The Best Gym around ! The staff is always taking care of the clients and customers! It is always VERY clean and up to date! There’s no better Gym then West Lawn- Anytime Fitness

I have attended and been member of several different gyms in the area but anytime fitness is by far the best. Of course the 24 seven access is amazing, but I’ve never met such nice and down-to-earth and friendly staff in my life.

I’ve had the good fortune of taking Step (Works, Strength, Tone) classes with Michele Sanders for the past year. She is all one could want in a teacher, being clear and consistent with her directions (including showing alternate versions of moves), and dedication to truly helping and accommodating all the particulars of her lucky students. Michele always makes one feel welcome with her non-intimidating approach, laced with humor and self-effacement! She is a gem! She makes workouts downright fun! I can’t recommend her highly enough!

I adore the pool!! So clean & the life guard was so kind, helpful & patient with my questions... the locker room immaculate & so considerate providing a hair dryer, as well as shampoo & a bag for the wet swim suit! 🙂 Joann Lott

Lacey recently gave us a call at home to check on us since she hadn’t seen my wife and me for a few weeks. She also saved an apple for my wife from “free apple day” which made her day and was very considerate. (Lacey and the front desk team are always so nice and helpful - especially to my wife who has dementia.)

This place was great; we attended a lacrosse tournament today and there were basketball lessons going on, ice skating lessons, ice skating leagues, people walking on a second floor track….lots of parking, crowded due to the nature of the tournament but relatively easy to find, good lighting and. I LOVED that there were clear Barriers to see the lacrosse players on the indoor courts, from a spectator perspective that was a win- plenty of things for me to walk around with my younger son to see while my daughter played or prepared with their team -with the younger one we visited many of the restrooms- it was a busy day but for the most part they were ok- it was fun to watch skating lessons and ice hockey as well.

Cindy is an amazing aqua aerobics teacher! She is fun, knowledgeable and tough in a good way. As a senior citizen I appreciate Cindy’s dedication to helping seniors exercise and balance. Love Cindy!

Review for [Fitness Center Name] ⭐⭐⭐⭐ AFC was exactly what I was searching for when I started strength training 2 years ago. The group fitness classes are the highlight for me! They are always high-energy and engaging, making workouts not only effective but also a lot of fun. The instructors are supportive and motivating which has kept me committed to taking 3-4 classes per week. What I appreciate most is the sense of community. The staff and members are encouraging and friendly, creating a positive environment where everyone feels comfortable. I highly recommend AFC if you are looking for a small fitness center. It's truly a gem in the community!

The Class: I recently completed an 8 week strength training class, which focused specifically on strength building for runners. The class was designed perfectly, with a great balance of intensity and variety. This variety not only made the workouts enjoyable but also ensured a well-rounded strength development. We worked on different muscle groups, incorporated various training techniques, and kept things fresh and engaging throughout the eight weeks. The Coach: Coach Sarah's expertise and passion for fitness and running were evident. As runners, we often struggle with injuries to some degree and she made sure to check in with us each week and gave us modifications for workouts as needed. Whether it was perfecting my form or pushing me to lift heavier, she was always there with the right guidance and encouragement. The Final Thoughts: If you're looking to add strength training to your life but don't know where to start, I suggest a program like this. Alliance Fitness Center is a clean facility with friendly, encouraging and knowledgeable staff.

My family and I have been attending Alliance Fitness Center for about a month and we can’t be happier with our programs. We have personal trainers who are the best at what they do, they built a program for each one of us according to our needs and wants and we have great results so far! The equipment is great and the vibe of the place is really friendly. We love living our health/fitness journey here. 😊

I’ve been working out at AFC now for the last 3 years and I am extremely happy with my results thus far! The first two years I had the pleasure of working with Sarah Showalter, and due to scheduling changes, started training with Cody Schmidt. I increased my strength and stamina working with Sarah despite having a few health setbacks those first two years, but over this past year, I have again noticed a remarkable incremental change in how my body feels while training with Cody, who is also a Yogi. For a while I had a lot of pain from a compression fracture and broken ankle, however after learning from Cody some additional stretches and techniques to warm up, I am now pain free. Cody takes the time to research my conditions to recommend a regimen that keeps me safe during a workout, but also challenges me to continuously be able to improve my strength training week after week. I have noticed I have much better balance, I am much stronger, and I have lost some stubborn inches through specifically targeted excersizes the he plans for me. I can honestly say I feel 20 years younger than I did before working out with Cody!!

I signed up for a series of classes geared towards runners. I have never been a weights person and I ended up loving it! Sarah was amazing. Even though there were multiple people in the class, the attention she gave to each individual ensured everyone got their own personal experience to push themselves. It was great! I liked all of the varied equipment that would be too hard to have at home like the sled! 10/10 would recommend.
