Incredible gym, great space and plenty of equipment. Helpful staff that will point you where you need to go. This place has pretty much everything you could need or want for a good workout. Good balance of free weights and machines with enough space to do what you need. We were in town for just a few days, their drop in rates are a great deal: $20/day or $30 for a week.

Great gym. Great environment with awesome members. Always felt comfortable here as well as my wife does. Also one of the cleaner gyms you will find. Someone is always cleaning. Also has one of the biggest free weight areas in the state. Always a bench available even at 5 p.m. highly recommend

Big Sky is hands-down the best gym I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to a lot. The second you walk in, the staff greet you with real energy and you can tell they love what they do. Angela is by far my favorite. She’s always smiling, always helpful, and goes out of her way to make sure your experience is a great one. And her protein shakes? Easily the best you’ll find.

Worst gym ever. I called to pause my membership for 6 months because I was leaving the country and they did not even freeze it then they charged me and I called again and they told me to email them and I did and they kept charging me then now I called again and they gave me some sort of routing number or something saying I have to call their bank because they don’t do cancellations or whatever? Like what? You cant cancel a membership at their own gym you have to go and talk to third party companies for some reason? Very weird they make you take 82 steps so you can cancel seems like a scam scheme and they don’t even do refunds for the accidental charges they charge you. And not just that no matter what time I went into that gym the machines are always taken and there’s a line of sweaty men waiting while you do your back workouts. The prices are inflated for what this gym has to offer and the customer service is terrible don’t go here

This gym has been a consistently solid place to train. The facility is always clean, the equipment is well taken care of, and the range of weights and machines makes it easy to hit any style of workout. There’s never an issue finding what you need, whether it’s free weights, benches, or machines.

Especially Angela. She’s truly exceptional—always welcoming, professional, and willing to help no matter how busy it gets. Her energy sets the tone for the whole place, and she makes every visit feel positive.

Can't say enough great things about Big Sky in Vernon. I only came in once and Angela remembered my smoothie order and was so welcoming and warm. I would give this place 10 out of 10 if I could.

Most importantly I've noticed that I didn't get the feeling of competition in here members are respectful and it's an overall welcoming environment

I was so afraid of commitment because I did not know how to “gym” but took that first step and haven’t looked back! The staff is welcoming and very positive making you feel right at home. I’m glad I made those moves from home workouts to the gym. I’m loving it!

I did have great experiences at the gym, w/trainers, and in the classes (shout out staff ❤️). However, I wish they didn't stand by predatory billing. I don’t agree with making it a purposefully difficult process to cancel your membership (feels like an icky retention strategy). I had not initially planned on canceling, but had such a bad experience with their third party billing company that I am very unlikely to return.

I did directly call to share my negative experience, and thought maybe due to the nature of the situation (and length of consistent membership) there would be more care/possible resolutions offered, but no action was taken by Big Sky. I am pretty disappointed in the overall end of my membership there being such a negative. The lack of consideration felt is why I'm going to shift from highly recommending Big Sky, to warning people about my experience, and suggesting other gyms.

I finally received a email from a manager (heavily assisted by ai) when I responded/shared my concerns (on the 26th of last month) I got nothing back, and I’m still getting collection attempts from the billing company. Extremely unprofessional and disappointing.

10/22 update - still zero concern or care from Big Sky, now their third party billing company sent me an email claiming I owe them 108.20 - even though initially they were refusing to cancel because they claim I “missed the window” by two days, and said I owed another month, even after multiple in person attempts to cancel within their time frame.

Please give your energy and support to another gym that shows a higher level of care for its members, and that doesn’t stand by morally bankrupt business practices.

"A friend recommended Big Sky for their shakes, and since I work nearby, I was excited to explore a new option for a quick, healthy snack. Upon entering, I found the facility exceptionally clean and welcoming. I was greeted by two staff members who were both polite and professional. They were very knowledgeable about the products and helped guide me through my decision. I highly recommend stopping by and chatting with their team—you’ll be in good hands.

Absolute dump. Bad equipment, horrible contract, water damage, fake family cliche, etc. They’ll reply and say “oh no!! We fixed X, Y, AND Z!!!”. spoiler: they’re lying. Go to the edge or anytime if you want a barbell. If you want better machines go to lightning or something.

No one bothered helping me the first day I came in to show me around. It turned me off from going with how unfriendly my welcome was. I haven't gone back because of this but can't cancel my membership because of the one year contract. Literally have only been twice and have had to pay for a full year because you get locked in. Be so aware they don't let you cancel it at all. Also they claim to give you "2 free months" but they still charge you for them within the 1 year contract. So if you start your plan in October, you get charged until December, so the 2 free months is completely false advertisement. It is also fictitious pricing which is illegal in Connecticut.
I do understand that they mention the 1 year contract at the beginning and I was fine with that, but the "2 free months" thing is what gets me. I should be able to cancel the same month of the year I signed up for, because in the email I received it say FIRST 2 months free. So I thought I was paying for 10 months of the one year contract. But instead I'm paying for a full year still, with "2 free months" added on.

I needed to cancel my membership due to financial issues and was told the only way you’re allowed to cancel is if you move 15 miles away or our permanently disabled. I offered to pay a fee and those are the only two options you have. RUN from this gym.

I am a huge fan of Big Sky. It was hard for me getting back into a routine post COVID and I felt especially discouraged after pregnancy and not being comfortable with my body. Noah became my personal trainer, helping me shed over 40lbs to get wedding ready. He was so incredibly supportive, especially in my hardest moments. I am now the strongest I have ever been in my life and am continuing to work with him to prep for my next pregnancy. He is truly the best and I am so thankful for everything he has done for me.

The staff (especially Angela) has always been exceedingly welcoming, kind, and helpful, creating a safe environment that I have always felt most comfortable in (which can be challenging to find as a woman in a gym setting). 10/10 recommend big sky to anyone and everyone.

Today 8/4 I came here to talk about the issue of why your company took my money in my account for the past 2 months while I filled out the form to freeze my membership card for 2 months starting June to the end of July. When I came and dealt with them and needed an explanation from them. They asked if I took a picture when I filled out the form, I said no, they said they couldn't do anything if I didn't have the form. I said how did I know your staff would be negligent when I knew I would have to take a picture to explain again. Your company's staff was negligent and the consequences are the responsibility of the customer. I cannot accept this irresponsible way of handling things. The fact that the system does not have my requested information is your fault, not mine. In the past months everything was fine, and i really love everything here but the problem i feel extremely disappointed is the attitude of the staff manager. why not solve it for the customer, not care about the customer's feeling. I also won't give you a 1 star rating because I know you will handle this best as you are the owner and I also don't want to affect your business because a 1 star rating is not worth the great experience I have had over the past months, there is no denying it.

As of 6/1/25, I’m a year in on the membership. I will not be resigning my membership. Big Sky is a high school hang out. Annoying clientele that does not have good gym etiquette, no reracking their weights, taking 4 or 5 sets of dumbbells at one time, leaving them scattered, putting their bag down on a piece of equipment to “claim” it while going to talk to friends for 10 minutes.

Depending on the day, the staff will either choose to acknowledge you or ignore you. Many pieces of equipment upstairs sticks, rendering them useless. The older smith machine downstairs sticks. The cable machine upstairs, one side sticks. Grease up the shafts, it’s not hard. Parts of the building are falling apart. Pieces of the wall are broken. Not a clean gym. Dust bunnies and dirt all around. I took pictures of all of these concerns.

Not that good of a selection of equipment. Very little for legs. Foolish investment upgrades while ignoring simple fixes to make a better gym. There were 4 power cages that were perfectly fine. Big Sky decided to replace them with…4 power cages. Lateral move. Replaced 3 treadmills with…3 treadmills. One which broke within a week. However, two solid additions of a new pec dec and another smith machine. Yet, still only one seated cable row. Take that movement out of your back routine as it’s always hogged. You won’t get a chance to use it. Also what, 5 hip thrust machines? C’mon, that’s ridiculous. How about two hip thrust machines, and invest the rest of the money in a good hack squat machine. That’s a staple for legs.

Glad my contract is up. You get what you pay for in a $10-15 dollar a month gym. Time to step it up, pay a little more, and sign up to a real gym.

Originally had a frustrating experience trying to cancel my membership due to an upcoming international move. ABC Fitness — the third-party billing company — made the process unnecessarily difficult, rejecting valid documentation and delaying the cancellation.

Thankfully, the team at Big Sky Vernon stepped in. A.J. and Angela handled the situation with professionalism and urgency, immediately resolving the issue and processing my cancellation without further hassle. Their support made a huge difference and truly reflected the club’s commitment to putting members first.

The gym itself is great — but be aware that ABC Fitness can be a serious pain point if you ever need to make changes to your membership. I recommend dealing directly with the club if issues come up.

I cancelled my membership, they never cancelled on their end, kept billing an old card for a year with zero communication, then sent me to a debt collector for $450. I called to get help and they said they couldn’t. I ended up having to pay the debt collectors because taking a massive company to court would only cost me more. Would give them 0 stars if I could. BS.

The facilities are clean, they have a variety of machines, and the people up front always greet you when you walk in.

I only had a membership for a couple months in 2021, but it was cool while I had it. Big Sky took great measures to keep the place super clean and disinfected (COVID).

The protein shakes were really good. The trainers were a little pushy, but they were also very nice and knowledgeable. I signed up for a training program with one of the guys, but I changed my mind the next day, and Big Sky refunded me and cancelled it immediately.

Finally, I had a problem cancelling my membership. Eventually, collections agency got involved, but this was an issue with their billing company ABC Fitness. Recently, AJ (the manager) was able to resolve this issue for me, and it was fixed within a few days.

Be sure to read the contract before signing up for a membership here. But if you're absolutely sure you'll use it for a year, I think $15/m (plus a small annual fee) isn't bad at all for all the amenities they have.

I can’t say enough great things about Big Sky Gym in Vernon! From the moment you walk in, it’s clear this place is something special. The atmosphere is positive, clean, and motivating—exactly what you want when working toward your fitness goals.

A huge shoutout to my personal trainer Brett, who has been instrumental in helping me stay focused and consistent. Thanks to his guidance, expertise, and encouragement, I’ve lost 40 lbs and feel better than ever. He genuinely cares and pushes you to be your best.

Angela is truly the star of the show. She’s there bright and early making sure everything is spotless and ready to go before the doors open, and her protein shakes are seriously the best—perfect post-workout fuel!

Also, a special thanks to Bella and Kelli, the morning trainers who always greet you with a smile and bring such a great energy to the gym. They’re friendly, helpful, and make early morning workouts something to look forward to.

If you’re looking for a supportive, high-quality gym with an amazing team, Big Sky Vernon is it. Highly recommend!

I lost my job and could not pay the monthly fees. I also injured my knee badly. Because they do not consider it a permanent injury, I still have to pay. When I tried to cancel I was told I could not and the year needed to be paid. Real nice way to help your members out!! I’ll be sure to spread the word if asked!! Never again…….RESPONDING to your bs response…….i NEVER said I joined another gym lol I can barely walk!!!!!! You people will twist the truth to make others want to think you are so lovely.

Big Sky's the best gym I've been to by a long shot!

Bella was my trainer for over a year and she was not only knowledgable but she always pushes you to go for your best. (Can't recomend her enough! She's kick ass) They will guide you on nutrition and stregnth/flexibility/body weight goals.

In regards to equipment there is a ton of varriety and if you look around the corner you can always find a free rack or tredmill.

There is a great culture and lots of friendly members, but if you like to keep to yourself you wont be pestered either.

They have a juice bar with creatine blends for both pre/post workout.

The callendar is full of events, and they offer a choice of classes on different fitness focuses and self defense courses.

Having a personal training certification doesn't qualify you to teach boxing. It looks like your trainers learned from a YouTube tutorial video. Not only is it cringe, you can potentially injure a client if you don't teach them proper form.

Read the reviews about billing carefully. They are true. When I got a mysterious bill for more than $50 I was told it was an annual fee on to of the regular fee. Sure enough, it was deep in the contract. I asked to cancel my membership and was told I had to do monthly billing for a year first. Sure enough, it was deep in the contract. Now my additional year is almost over, and now they insist that I have to pay another annual fee. Not happening.

Been a long member for almost 3 years!

Very good gym with lots of machines and benches.
Dumbbells up to 100lbs+
Multiple turf areas.
Big open area so even during peak hours it doesn't feel crammed.
They have Mag-grip cable attachments!
Lots of Cable Towers spread around.

Your money will not go to waste with their fairly cheap membership.

Two fridges filled to the brim with so many different energy drinks I can't list them.
The smoothie bar is a very good way to reach your protein goals.

Wish they would add another Smith Machine and a few more Stairmasters.
Also wish they didn't close so early on weekends.

I tried to cancel my membership today and was told that while they would take my membership off of automatic renewal I am locked in through 2026. I specifically asked when I toured the facility if I would be able to cancel at any time and I was told yes. Clearly I was misled. This is incredibly frustrating

Don’t sign up to this gym if you’re looking for any easy cancellation. I’ve been trying to cancel my membership with this money sucker now for two weeks and every time I contact them with the information that they ask for , it’s never enough. Apparently they need your blood type, right kidney, and blood from your first born. Oh, they also need a note from your doctor to cancel your membership asking for personal medical information, which is against the law to obtain (hipaa violation) and most medical providers will not willingly disclose that information while they still continue to charge you for their unused services because they refuse to cancel them. Beware if you’re looking into signing up.

You need to carry their barcode tag in order to scan in. This gym doesn’t have an app, nor do they let you scan in with a picture of your own barcode tag, nor did their reader accept my apple wallet version of their barcode (made with the Pass2UWallet app). I made a barcode with that app for my wife, who goes to The Edge, and she scans in just fine with it. So the issue is not the barcode app, it’s Big Sky’s scanners.

It’s 2025, get with the times!

I’ve been coming to Big Sky for a couple years, It’s a very good, clean gym. It’s busy at times but because its good gym.

I was having trouble gaining muscle. I reached out to Bella, a personal trainer at Big Sky. She has been so good for me. She takes her time, explains which exercise is designed to do. She’s always available when I have questions. I have back issues so Bella knew solid exercises to help me. I’m now 50, I have abs, I’m at 12% body fat and stronger than ever. If you need a gym and or a trainer, see Bella and Big Sky. You wont regret it.

Recently joined with my wife after my son's joined this past summer. Easy to find something for every skill level here. Parking always seems busy, but the place is big enough to find a spot to work. Friendly staff, kinda pushing the classes on introduction. We opted to pass. Nice selection of refreshments and talented shake makers.

Really like the place. But, clearly this year they oversold memberships. Cannot find parking and forget about a treadmill machine. They haven’t done a thing to address this issue. I understand this is January. But, I have been a loyal member for years and it hasn’t been this bad… even in January. I’ll give it another month before I bail.

Always enjoying coming in! The shakes are the best, and the staff is always super kind. Sorta one of those places that if you want the staff will remember you but won’t bother you if you’re in a hurry - very welcoming :)
I’ve been told Angela is the reason for most of the positive reviews - she’s probably the reason for mine.

I really enjoyed my time with Big Sky. The early morning regulars were always nice and friendly. Never super crowded. I appreciate that in the three years that I was a member many upgrades and improvements were made. I liked that there was a more private workout room, lots of turf and free weight areas and it isn’t only a cardio gym. Shakes are tasty and reasonably priced and the staff was always nice. Had to cancel due to moving. I do think it’s a bit high priced compared to other gyms (the edge basic membership is $5 less and includes access to tanning and massage beds and has better hours)

I’ve been at big sky for the better part of a year now and I don’t have any complaints. The service is great, the accommodation like the shakes are even better. They have all the equipment you would want and it’s a great environment to work out in. To anyone looking for an inexpensive bang for your buck gym I would 100% recommend big sky.

It’s a great gym. But what frustrates me the most is when I wake up at 4am during the week to be there for 5am and no one is there to open. They really should consider having more than one person to open. In the event one person calls out or can’t make you still have another person to open. Some of us travel to come here in the morning to then get ready for work. The fact that this has now happened a few times and they have not acknowledged this is beyond me.

I’ve been going to Big Sky for around 4 years now. I can’t say enough positive things about this place. The members, the staff, the atmosphere and fellow members. Everyone here truly wants to see you progress, which is an awesome feeling while you’re in the gym! I remember when I first came in Angela helped me and I signed up later on that month. Every time I come into the gym she’s always a friendly face to see and has a positive attitude. I’ve also been working with one of the coaches, Noah Shaw. Noah and I have made unbelievable progress on my fitness goals and I have truly been able to level up with his guidance. I strongly encourage anyone who is looking for a place to workout or a center to better themselves at to give Big Sky a try! You will not regret it!!

I’ve been coming to this gym for about a year and it’s hands down the best place I’ve ever had a membership. As mainly a weightlifter this place is phenomenal for getting a total body lift in and I rarely need to wait for a machine. Can’t beat the juice bar as well.

Besides my Tolland CrossFit home, Big Sky is where I go when I can’t make it to CrossFit. I’ve been coming to big sky for about 2 years. I love this gym because it’s big, lots of equipment, and friendly staff. They have great post workout shakes! This gym makes me feel “normal” there are all walks of life coming here just trying to be better than they were yesterday. I’ve had 2 of my friends join! Don’t be afraid! Come and try it out!
