They were great when they were open, but the doors have been locked since about 9/23/23. Updated 10/4/2023: This is as the result of the death of the owner. My deepest condolences on this terrible loss.

My condolences on Robert's (the owners) passing. This was one of the best and cleanest gyms in the area with a wonderful staff and I do hope you're able to reopen again.

Best gym I’ve ever been a member of, I’m moving soon and sad to leave gotofitness. There’s a reason this place has perfect 5 star reviews, if you’re looking for a gym, just sign up already. Affordable prices, employees are friendly and reasonable, and they’re constantly reinvesting into the location by renovating, adding new equipment and services. This is one of few places I know of that has a rock climbing wall and isn’t $100/mo. They even make it easy and simple to cancel your membership. The management/owner is clearly making great choices when it comes to providing value at a good cost. Thank you for a great experience!

This gym has over 14,500 sq ft of air conditioned space with every piece of modern equipment to fit all of your work out needs. You can easily move throughout the gym without feeling cramped. The owner, Bobby Hurd is an aggressive and motivated owner who listens to his customer's and staff ideas. He treats his staff and members like family. He is always purchasing new equipment and stays on top of maintaining the existing equipment. This gym is super clean as the staff is always on the move. The Gym sells apparel and has a full protein shake bar with a fully stocked refrigerator of energy drinks and pre-workout. The gym offers a wide variety of classes to include boot camps, Boxing, cardio kickboxing, TRX, rowing and personal training. If you are looking for a gym that offers a clean, friendly and family like environment, this is the one.

This gym is a refreshing deviation from its low cost and over capacity competitors. I have been a member of other local gyms and it is staggering how GTF dominates the competition. One major difference I find is space and capacity. Other gyms are crowded during peak hours. GTF is never too packed. Next the equipment is better than others in the area. There are pieces of equipment that I have never seen at other gyms. Finally, the people, the trainers, the staff, and the members. The place is a complete vibe. If you're not a member, you should become one. If you are a member, give yourself a pat on the back for being a part of a fantastic community.

This gym is the real deal. I’m in town for a week, called and was told I can get a day pass for the week. Arrived without my wallet and they allowed me to workout without paying, trusting that I will come back the next day. Very friendly and excellent customer service. And did I say the gym is very well equipped? Oh yea, it is very well equipped and clean. Will come here every time im in town. 💪🏾

If you want to learn the “sweet science” coach Ellay is the man to see even if you’ve never boxed before. Ellay has a wealth of knowledge and will teach anyone the foundations of boxing that’s willing to learn. If you’re looking to get an incredible workout plus learn and grow as a person come join us.

Single handedly the best gym I have ever been to. When i first got a membership I did not have protein powder of my own. I paid $1 per scoop (60g of protein) and often they didn't even charge me! Upon entering, you have some really friendly staff that are always there to help you. In the weights area, there are 3 squat racks, multiple boxes (for box jumps), dumbbells, seated cable row, glute ham raise, various machines, cables, assisted pullup/dip, and much more. Once you leave that area, there is a turf field with things like sleds, extra plates, rowing machine, bikes, and boxing bags. The priority members area also has access to 6 or so state of the art squat racks. There is also a rope that you can climb. Go upstairs and you will get the best cardio session of your life. There is an open area for bodyweight exercises, at least 12 more cardio machines, from ellipticals to arcs to treadmills, and even more boxing bags. Truly the best gym I have ever been to. I go to the University of Texas at Austin and their gyms do not even compare. Please get a membership here.

I recently joined gotofitness and the first time I came to the gym I was greeted warmly and all of my questions about the gym and memberships were answered. I come generally in the mornings when the gym is not very crowded at all which was a big factor in choosing a gym. The gym itself is very clean and has pretty much every piece of equipment I need. I’m glad I spent the time looking around on google maps for a gym because its a relatively small gym and doesn’t pop up tight away when looking for gyms in my area.

I have been a member of Go To Fitness for a little over a year now and it is by far the best gym that I have ever been to. All of the staff members are friendly and the whole gym is really clean. With all of the equipment that is available your workout options are endless. The environment allows you to focus on your workout so that you can get the most out of your time there. The whole atmosphere is extremely motivating and makes you want to keep coming back.
As long as you have determination the rest is a state of mind!!

I’ve been a member of GotoFitness for a couple years now. After working out in many gyms over the years, I’ve seen it all. GTF has a skilled and kind staff, always striving to make members feel welcome. The selection of equipment is better than anywhere I’ve seen, with everything you could want in cardio, weight training, cross training, OCR training, yoga, you name it. I drive out of my way, and past another closer gym to get there, and it’s well worth it. It’s also kept perfectly clean and organized every day. Thanks to GTF!!

I absolutely love this gym! I’ve been to many other gyms and they don’t even come close. The facility is always clean, they are constantly upgrading equipment, making for a new challenge so you will never get bored. The classes provide a challenging and diverse workout, even if you take the same class many times a week. You leave there feeling exhausted yet invigorated. This is not your typical gym, it is family owned and you feel like you are welcome from the moment you walk through the door. They do not use the typical hard sell tactics used by other “corporate” owned gyms. The gym literally sells itself. If you are looking for personal training, it is available and trainers are awesome. They frequently have contests which are highly motivational and fun. I recommend this gym, you will not be disappointed!!

I was looking for a new gym when I moved to Middletown. I checked all of the gyms in the area. There is no Planet Fitness or Edge or whatever chain gym in town. The ones nearest where I live weren't up to snuff. Go To isn't the closest to me but well worth the 15 minute drive. Friendly staff who are all knowledgeable and fit. They have a great space for anything you could want to do. If you're into just weights they have everything you need. If you do those boot camp type things there is a space for that. Space for hitting the bags, running or spinning. You can really cover every type of conceivable workout here. I see the early morning crew crushing it routinely and if I go after work theres another crew crushing it then. I find it to be better than the Edge where I used to workout but was routinely crowded. I even convinced my fiance to join and she is not a gym rat....yet. Definitely would recommend. Price is fine. Cancel anytime. Looking to try a class myself!

Hands down the best gym around in my opinion. Not only are the pricing options great but the staff is extremely friendly. Staff is helpful with any questions and the gym is always immaculately clean. The amount and variety of classes they offer is a great addition as well. If you’re looking for a great gym with great staff members and fair pricing you can’t find a better location.

If you knew me, you’d know this place is more than just a gym for me. When I moved to Middletown in 2017 I left big sky in Newington which was my home away from home. I was heart broken, lost and had no desire to work out. I joined a gym down the road from me (which I will not name) & I continued to be unmotivated, unhappy and uncomfortable in my surroundings. When I heard about GTF I was hoping it would be the facility that would bring back my love for lifting...well it did and then some. I still remember the feeling I got when I walked through the doors and knew it was my new home away from home.

I have been working out here for almost 2 years and I couldn’t be more proud to say I am a member for life. Bob, Taylor Katie & everyone other staff member are knowledgeable, welcoming and always taking on new ideas for the gym. The equipment is top notch and the classes that are offered ( RIPT/boot camp/ spin etc) are just an added bonus (that will always leave you wanting more) I know how hard it can be to start somewhere new, especially when it comes to working out but there isn’t a better place to do so. I love this gym, I love the people and I wish I could give it more stars. THANK YOU for everything you guys do❤️

I’ve been a member of several different gyms in the area over the many years of my fitness journey, I finally found home! This gym TOPS them all without a doubt!
This is one big family, everyone so welcoming and supportive of one another, It’s so comforting to always be greeted with a friendly hello and smile!
The classes and instructors are knowledgeable, encouraging, friendly and accommodating. They never hesitate modifying a workout to your individual needs.
This facility is immaculate, the equipment is all up to date and the owner is somehow always finding ways to improve.
I leave every workout feeling accomplished and so proud to be a part of the Eagle family!

I rarely write reviews but I felt it necessary to express my gratitude for this place. I'm someone who tends to keep to himself at the gym and the culture here has made me feel so comfortable! The staff are genuine and they all get along wonderfully which makes the gym feel like a second home.

The equipment is always in working order which is a MUST for any gym that wants to keep people coming back. They continue to add more machines as well so there is never a problem with getting bored. While I haven't utilized them, they have spin classes, rock climbing, multiple treadmills, and a variety of different things to keep you busy. To top it off they have a smoothie bar!

I recently switched to coming in right at 5:30AM and the staff are as friendly as ever. I'm grateful that this gym is so close to me and is such an affordable rate. I'm currently trying to get everyone I know to come here to work out.

When my fiance and I moved to Middletown in 2018, we joined GTF because it was such a convenient location to our home. We had no idea how much we would end up loving it. From the great atmosphere and extensive equipment, to the awesome class options and trainers; we have been loving it. Taylor, Katie, and the whole team there make you feel like a part of a community. They'll even call you out if you go missing for a few weeks... It is immediately evident that they sincerely care about their members and want them to have everything a gym could offer! We couldn't recommend it enough!

“Be master of your petty annoyances and conserve your energies for the big, worthwhile things. It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out - it's the grain of sand in your shoe.”
― Robert Service

Equipment and locker rooms are pristine. The staff is kind and considerate. The atmosphere and aesthetic motivates.

Joining GoToFitness was a fantastic decision. I am in the best shape of my life and plan to maintain. If you are serious about getting and staying fit, this is the gym for you. Get the sand out of your shoes and cancel your chain gym membership. You will not regret it.

The staff are very friendly and are always willing to help whenever you need it. The owners are like family to me. The trainers here are always ecstatic and motivating during all fitness classes. GTF has plenty of equipment and is one of the cleanest gyms I’ve ever been a part of. I feel happy to be part of a gym where I can workout confidently because of the positive atmosphere created here.

I joined this gym looking for OCR equipment to practice on. Goto Fitness has everything you'll need for your work out. There is a rig to practice on, multiple rope climbs. Bucket carries, walls, tyre flips. Sleds to push. If your into CrossFit they have a lot of squat racks. There is a big open area for interval type work outs. All their equipment is in very good condition. Some of it looks new. There are always trainers there for assistance. They sometimes run races at their gym on the rail trail. Something for everyone.

I've been a member of this gym for around 3/4 of a year, and there's one question I always find myself asking. "Just how can this place get any better?" Yet, it always somehow does. From the equipment to the staff, they hit every nail on the head perfectly. I was shocked when I first walked in to see how spacious the place really is. You will never feel like you're being cramped up by everyone around you or like you're in anyones way. What's inside this giant space is some of the most top end equipment I've ever seen. They have a ton of varying machine's with more than enough free weights for everyone, as well as an area with enough power racks for everyones share. Another great aspect in this area is the owner Bob, who is always on the look out for some new and interesting equipment to add to the repertoire, which I personally love. It's a great feeling knowing they're investing in the gym member and their success. If there's ever a machine not working the way it should or something is out of sorts, I can promise it wont be for long. He pours his heart and soul into making sure that place is running smoothly and you can sense that. The staff under him is top notch as well. I can't say enough good things about the staff, they really are some of the kindest and most genuine people I've ever met, let alone met in the gym. I don't personally do the classes, however I see them as they go on and I can say the instructors are so bent on trying to bring the best out of everyone in the class. They're constantly coming up with new and interesting workouts that will push you to your brink, and they will make it fun at the same time. I think there's one last thing that is so important to the making of a successful gym that is not always so easy to see, but I noticed right away here. Everyone here has a "grind" mentality. Everyone here is here to better themselves, and everyone from the casual go-er to an every day class go-er puts in the work and you can feel that in the air. That's what separates a good gym from this great gym. No matter what your goal may be when you step into a gym, I promise there's no better place to help achieve it than GoToFitness Ultimate Training Center.

I have been to many gyms as we've moved around Connecticut and Massachusetts. When I moved to Middletown 18 months ago, I knew what I wanted in a gym. For starters, cleanliness. This gym has it all, for gym rats, classes, trainers, HIIT, Crunch, Boxing. There is something for everyone. This is not a commercial, it's fact. I hope we don't move again for a long time to come. Morning workouts.

If you're looking for a new gym, run to GoTo Fitness (walking or driving works too). When you arrive, don't let the strong black and red color scheme intimidate you because beyond the bold colors this gym is run by a team of warm, friendly, caring and professional staff. Classes are welcoming, the gym is large enough to never have to wait for equiptment but small enough where everyone knows your name and trainers are always looking for new ways to challenge you while paying close attention to your individual needs. Run, walk, drive..check it out!

I have opened myself up to a whole new fitness regimen and have even tried Boxing, TRX, Bootcamp, Spin and Yoga classes.

This is hands down the best gym I've trained in. It has everything you'll ever need and more. Standard weights and machines, Olympic barbells and weights, heavy bags, speed bag, cardio equipment... everything. It's big and spacey. The staff are great people. Personally, one of the things I appreciate the most is the fact that even though they offer classes, they won't bother you at all trying to convince you to join one. This is unlike many other gyms, where that sort of thing make the whole experience feel like you'll encounter an ad at any second and ruin your focus. It's really just perfect.

What an amazing fitness center! When I first walked in to inquire about a membership 'bout a week ago I was greeted by a lovely lady and warmly welcomed by a few other people that worked there as well. I instantly got the feel that they were a family-owned business because of how nice they were and I was right :-) GoToFitness isn't a corporate gym so they don't try to nickel and dime you into paying for unessesary services. I had asked the lady who was signing me up about personal training and she could've easily tried to talk me into getting a trainer but she didn't. All I want to do is build muscle and all the other stuff that trainers do (nutrition advice and what have ya), isn't something I need and she saw this, and said that if I need one of the staff to spot me or to show me how to use a piece of equipment they would be more than happy to. The equipment is in excellent condition, great options for someone who lifts weights like I do and even has a great selection of cardio equipment, boxing area & other awesomeness there (too much to fill into this limited review). Last night I went to the spin class and the instructor was great and tonight I'm going in for their TRX class. Really looking forward to it!! Oh yeah, the lady that was there this morning (one of the trainers) made a killer vegan protein shake for me. If you want an incredible place to workout and feel like you're truly welcome, I highly recommend this place.
