Dropped $59 for a monthly membership at Edgewater Athletic Club, hoping for a solid neighborhood gym experience. The vintage vibe is charming, but the equipment feels outdated, and the locker rooms could use some TLC. Had issues with billingβwas charged after canceling, and communication was lacking. Appreciate the community feel, but the management needs to step up.

DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU LIKE TO BE CHARGED MONTHLY FOR A MEMBERSHIP YOU CANCELLED. Cancelled my membership due to an injury I sustained and I was charged 2 more months. Went in to discuss with staff because they donβt answer their phones. They offered to give me a 3 month credit - which I cannot use because I am injured - and Iβm still getting charged!!! Iβve paid $300 to this crooked business after they told me my membership was canceled.

Swimming classes with Pawel are AMAZING. Cannot recommend enough. Sign ups are like concert tickets - line up 30-60 minutes early on sign up days. That said, the classes are calm, predictable curriculum, and my diverse learner has thrived in these classes.

Solid gym with older but high-quality equipment and plenty of machines and weights. The pool is well-maintained and the sauna is currently working after a time of disrepair. The staff is friendly enough but often can't answer questions or channel suggestions or requests - what you see is what you get. (Except the photos on the website. Some of that stuff is nothing like the actual club. Take with a grain of salt.) Very satisfactory club if your goal is exercise without frills.

Very expensive for the state that the gym is at. Everything is very old and rusty.
I went specifically for the pool. Different people gave me different pool schedules, which was very confusing on when pool is available or not.
Pool itself is nice, mostly clean. 18 meters long, half is 3 feet deep and other half is about 6 feet deep. Warm water, comfortable to swim in.
They have 30 days cancellation policy, so I went to cancel my membership and asked until when can I still access the gym. They said my membership renews tomorrow, so they simply wonβt enforce 30 days cancelation policy, took my key tag and said I am good to go. But this morning they charged me again. Called them, they said sorry for mistake, but we donβt do refunds.
The cancellation quest will probably not be such a problem for the most people.

Joined the gym there since I live in the neighborhood and wanted to incorporating swimming into my winter fitness.
This is definitely a "down home gym" no frills gym.
There are bikes, ellipticals, treadmills, Stairmasters, and rowing machines. However, the indoor road bikes are all stuck in the sizing that they are in. The rowing machines are either out of service or missing pieces to make use more enjoyable like foot straps. Some of them definitely need to be serviced as they catch when in use. The standard bikes are good overall. No complaints there. I haven't used the ellipticals nor the stair machines. So, no comment. And the treadmills function fine. Some of them are also out of order.
There is a gym for classes that is nice to use when empty. It has weights, mats, and a nice mirror. There is a view onto the pool.
I haven't yet used the pool, but albeit, being on the smaller size, it looks well kept and I look forward to doing some laps in it. There are also a good variety of hours.
They also have free towels for use while in the gym, which is a nice perk.
The regular weight room has an area for core and weight lighting as well as free weights and racked weight areas. There are ample machines as well. But the weights aren't in the best condition and there isn't a good array of smaller weights in the main weight area.
I would say, that the gym could use a renewal... from my partner's perspective, it looks like it hasn't really had any updates in years, but costs about 2 times as much as another area fitness center. The other fitness center doesn't have a pool, but I think Edgewater Fitness has such potential and could be a gym more frequented by the community, if it had more well kept equipment and comparable pricing.
I feel like there swim programs are their focus.
Appreciate the gym and pool within walking distance, but definitely only plan to use it for the winter to stay moving.

Received great service from front desk guy, Jordan. Super helpful, friendly, informative & kind. Gave me a tour of the gym and had me sold on a membership! This was my second time coming to the gym, the previous time was during the evening, and this young man really helped me! Nice pool & gym, slightly outdated workout equipment but Jordanβs customer service made me feel valued!!

No frills gym but the prices are very reasonable. Phillip and Jordan were helpful at the front desk and the BEST MASSEUSE works here. Aaron Hanna does the best soft tissue work and you go through the gym to get to his office.
The gym is unique because it is in an old ballroom so there are literally chandeliers in the workout area!!!
I want to check out swim lessons here for the kids 10 sessions for $70/hr!

Members beware! I contacted Edgewater Athletic Club to cancel my membership after having been a member there for a couple of years. Despite written confirmation of my request to cancel, I was charged for four additional months. All emails and calls to this business have gone unreturned and I have contacted BBB for resolution. Having always found the management to be friendly and pleasant, this dishonest exchange was particularly surprising, but I am also out over $350 and they refuse to address it.

Gym is really good overall. So the only draw back is the cardio machines are too old. Whenever i run on treadmill, it makes a-lot of noise and itβs scary. Please please upgrade your cardio machines. We are paying alot of money and you guys can use it to upgrade the machines right. Please itβs my humble request. The main reason i took membership in this gym is for cardio and swimming pool. Other than that, I really like the gym :^)

Great training! I'm currently preparing for a marathon and I needed to know better how to balance my runs with workout sessions. Aaron definitely helped me reach that goal, showing the many ways in which I can train to prevent injuries and build up my endurance. Now I feel confident about my workouts, which is quite a lot considering that I have never been a gym person. Plus he is fun! He knows how to make the training session amenable, with plenty of stories, anecdotes, and professional advice.
Other pluses from EAC: Being open from 6am (also on weekends) makes it very convenient to get the day started. There is also plenty of space to do your thing, whether you want to run, swim or do some anaerobic training. The fact that it's within a classy 1920s building like the Sovereign adds to the atmosphere; I strongly recommend checking out the weight machines room.

This so far my favorite GYM. Itβs nice and clean, never crowded and as a member you can bring for free your kids to swim in open hours. Also staff is nice and friendly and manager too. Other classes are included as yoga, sauna, zoomba etc. They provide personal fitness trainers and swimming lessons too. Iβve been going here for past 7 years.

Edgewater on a regular basis is a really awesome space to workout. It's an elegant looking space that helps super skinny guys like me feel less awkward in the weight room. I think that also takes off the feeling of being intimidated by super athletic weight lifters.
The only reason it's four stars as opposed to five is that communication and sign up can sometimes be difficult.

A perfect neighborhood athletic center, replete with all of the amenities you need to accomplish your health and fitness goals, including the neighborhood's only Olympic size pool. Great group fitness room for classes, cardio equipment, strength training equipment, and dare I mention the fanatic staff... you are always welcome and treated as part of a unique experience, set in a 1920's atmosphere, with hints of original fitness origins mixed with cutting edge classes and workshops to help you enjoy the best of both worlds without the need to impress anyone while you achieve your goals. Flexible membership rates and services make your goals always within reach. Stop in and bask in the experience, and achieve your goals.

Kid working the desk on Sunday evening is a condescending wise a**

More than one occasion since he has been rude and shown very little respect. Typical of kids today

NO COMMUNICATION or COURTESY: signed up for a month, 2 days later I had a family emergency and asked if they could possibly refund, since I only went twice. First person on the phone said yes and took all my info. Never received refund not even partial. Emailed owner 2 times. Called 3 times. This place really let me down. They could do so much better with customer service.

Affordable neighborhood gym. Not the fanciest or the hippest, but a nice pool, good variety of classes, and all the equipment you probably need. They have lots and lots of swim classes, which means that it can sometimes be hard to find just the right time to swim. Front desk staff is hit or miss, but people are generally nice and leave you alone.

I signed up for gym membership with my son. I was offered a partner rate on a monthly basis . After a month, due to a health concern, I was no longer able to attend. Without my knowledge, I was auto-charged. I went to talk to the manager to get a refund. I informed him that I had not gone to the gym since I had been charged. He told me that he would not give me refund because I had signed up for a yearly contract. I informed that at no time did anyone tell me that I was signing up for the month. Plus, I had not even used the gym since they charged me. I said this in a very calm voice. He then proceed to yell at me. I simply left the gym. The gym is fine, but the behavior of the manager is unprofessional and rude. Be careful when signing up.

The gym where people know your name. I've been going here for a year and I love it. The staff who work there are legendary, from the swim lesson instructors who have taught kids until they grew into adults to the class leaders who really know how to push tough workouts.
It never gets too crowded; I came from a suburb where Lifetime Fitness was the dominant gym and there would be crowds around benches, none of that here. The pool and lessons are a great place to get started in a swimming journey. Muscle Blast is a fantastic challenge for sadistic athletes (although it might be ending soon...). In all, a good balance of classes.
The weight room is in an old ballroom, so that's pretty cool. They have a CrossFit style centerpiece: a squat rack/pull up bar complex with barbells and med ball targets. 8 fully equipped squat racks and a landmine station is definitely enough for their clientele. From what I've seen in the weight room, there haven't been any instances where members have been inconsiderate or intimidated. To borrow a term from my "favorite" franchise, there is no need for a lunk alarm here.
Coming from the behemoth that is Lifetime Fitness, you would think I miss the level of service or amenities from a huge club. And while you don't have a cycling studio, pickup basketball games or a rock climbing wall, I never used or needed those things more than for novelty anyways. Plus, there is still towel service!

This fitness club is awesome! I've had a membership for four years. The staff is friendly and helpful. One year I tried LA Fitness because it was a little cheaper and boy was that a mistake. I rejoined EAC after four months and am happy to be home again. I also want to comment on Schmid Etienne, a personal trainer here. He is the real deal. I never wanted to pay for a trainer because I thought I knew enough and it was just a matter of working out, right?? Wrong!! He really taught me how to eat, how to perfect my form, and how to work hard. I lost ten pounds the first month, which I had not been able to do in the fifteen years I've been working out steadily. If you are looking for a really knowledgeable trainer who is scientific and motivating, don't hesitate to pay for him. Tell him Lynn sent you :). It will change your life!! This is not to say the other trainers, Kelly and John, etc. are not good, they are, it's just that I've had experience with Schmid.

I really love this gym. I use to work out at xsport and the only time I could work out there to have access to any of the weights was either 5 am or 11pm because it was always over crowded. But here I have access to everything any time I go in. Also everyone's really nice and I swear they have the cleanest gym pool I've ever seen. Love the crossfit equipment too!!

I have been a member of this athletic club since October and have absolutely loved it. The staff is always there to truly greet me at any hour and they are always on top of any questions or needs I have. The personal training team is always helping me if I have questions or concerns with any physical or nutritional things. I love being able to see the same people and build relationships and constantly be motivated to work hard to see the results i am looking for. It has been a great experience.

DO NOT GO HERE!!! They kept charging my credit card unauthorized fees when they made it almost impossible to cancel my membership.
My complaint is very similar to previous ones (check all cancellation complaints) I kept my member ship for over two years and they were okay, however when it came to canceling my membership it became a living nightmare. I was told false information over the phone and in person by a few different staff members, which is why I requested to speak to manager. I had visited the business on multiple occasions and every time I was told the manager wasnβt in or that he was busy (I was even making phone calls on a regular basis there). A couple staff members said a simple email would take care of the cancellation, which was not the case.
My credit card was charged for another month, which I had to find out on my own, and when I called I was told by the manager, John, that this was my fault. Even though they had failed to reply to my email or respond to my calls, I was not getting anywhere talking to manager. I requested to speak to someone above the manager since during conversation he was raising his voice to me and being very irate when I was just trying to get answers. He snapped at me and said that the person I was requesting to speak to would tell me the same thing.
I still decided to call Derrick, the owner, and from his response I could clearly see where John the manager got his customer service skills. Both were disturbingly rude and even yelled at me over the phone. They both need a lesson in customer service and I would NOT recommend anyone going here. Cheetah Gym is just down the street and I heard they are much better anyways.
