Fitness Works Philadelphia

Fitness Works is my second home. My favorite thing about it is that this is a no-nonsense place to train, everything is well maintained and people are respectful. Nothing is overly fancy or hyped up. For the size of the space they offer an impressive variety of stuff! There are selections of dumbbells on both main floors and some in the classroom, weight machines on both main floors, plenty of cardio equipment, a very nice pool, and there is even an area for boxing training. The classroom is large with pretty decent mirrors and you can use it for stretching etc. when there isn't a session going on. This probably wouldn't be a first pick for more advanced powerlifting or Olympic lifting since the space is a bit limited with just 3 squat racks and 2 deadlift platforms. Great place for general training and bodybuilding though. You can buy snacks and drinks at the front desk too. My only critique is that I wish they were open later and that there was a second chest fly machine.

Happy overall. Been coming here for a few years. Some of the cardio equipment is way overdue for replacement. The life fitness treadmills whine and skip constantly and are way past their life cycle

Been a member since February, my only complaint is it gets HOT in there in the summer. Only two of the treadmills have fans. I do love that classes are included in membership!

This is a good gym with a nice staff. Equipment and pool are all nice. One note is the water fountains desperately need to be replaced. I wish they (like many other gyms) would not require a 30 day heads up for cancelling membership. Feels a bit predatory

Affordable, classes are amazing, equipment is very clean! Love this gym.
