Nice multi-level gym with friendly staff, a neighborhood feel, and reasonable pricing. Signing up is straightforward and hassle-free, without the hidden fees and high pressure sales tactics that have turned me off to other gyms. They also recently upgraded their cardio and strength equipment. I’ve been a member for three years and am very happy.

Great gym- solid community on the inside. Very happy that they updated their equipment. The contract is non-predatory. However, keep in mind that they close very early on the weekends. For those of us who work late, I have settled with making my workouts Monday through Friday only. Kind of a bummer when I have the motivation to go yet they're closed by 4p on a Sunday. But still a really solid place to go 💪

I been a member for years. If your looking for a diverse and family feel treatment from staff this is your place.I recently went back after having some minor health issues. The owner Joe and his awesome staff i.e...Deandre,Chip,Gabriel and Sally are front desk wonderful! So understanding extending my membership (put on hold) until I can return. That's a great business understanding especially when it comes to health. I can't say enough how much I appreciate you guys and always look forward to being a lifelong member of your extended fitness family. The gym is outfitted with everything you need for a healthy life. Don't forget Movement is medicine! Get going!🤗💪🏋‍♂️🏊‍♀️

Hands down best gym in Philly. It’s so spacious and offers so much to the community through workout classes, swim lessons, yoga, pilates, spin, a sauna, and even salsa lessons. Every trainer and teacher is so kind and so good at what they do. You can tell they’re really interested in supporting you, no matter what fitness level you’re at, because they’re really good at pushing you beyond your comfort zone if you need that or supporting you with a modification to make movement more accessible. There are several levels with tons of equipment, so I rarely have to wait to use machines or squat bars. The front desk staff are always so helpful and willing to take the extra mile to make sure you have what you need. Fitness Works sets the bar high!

At best they’re disorganized and at worst they’re just scammers. Fitness Works charged me two months after I cancelled my membership in writing. They’ll ask you to write to cancel but they don’t provide an email on their website, just a form that goes to nowhere. I even called twice to receive confirmation for my cancellation and still got charged!

I just joined fitness works a few weeks ago, and have gone to two spin classes and worked out in the weights and cardio rooms. The classes were fun, with cool, down to earth instructors, and the weight room has everything you need for all levels of fitness. There's a variety of cardio equipment, and some cool training areas that I haven't really explored yet. So far, I'm completely satisfied with my new gym!!

I wasnt originally going to leave a review, but after recent events I wanted to. I had to cancel my membership due to an extenuating circumstance that made me have to move suddenly. I feel like they didnt give much leeway with this and i still had ot pay for a month where i was not going to access the gym at all.

Additionally-- just 2 weeks ago before this all happened, a huge cockroach crawled out of the wall and by my feet as I was working out. I killed it with a dumbbell weight and when i told the front desk they really didnt do anything to reassure me. they just wiped up the dead roach (didnt even clean the dumbbell) and said "theyd spray that area".

also, basically all of the equipment just feels a little dirty. anyway, that was my experience.

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.

Good gym, their hours are absolutely ridiculous. close 8:00 friday night (an hour early) close at 5 on saturday and 4 on sunday. maybe someone should tell them the term "i work a 9 to 5" means people work during the week and use the weekend to do EVERYTHING else in their life.

They dont give a toss at Fitness Works. you will get to the gym DURING THE DAY on the weekend or youre not training there. period. during the day when most people who have children do things like go to parks etc ...close at 4 oclock on sunday are you kidding me? when you own a gym youre in the customer service industry...this place isnt concerned about their customers, theyre concerned about closing early so they can party friday and saturday night. (i guess)

so if youre joining and plan on using this gym on the weekend, but also have family/ kids think again. youll be making a trade ...spend time with your family during the day or train at fitness works.

I came in to try the gym for the first time. I had to pay $15 and sign a waiver. I came for the machines, sauna, and pool access. The bathroom was really dirty and smelled. It was also difficult to change into my gym clothes (came straight from work) because the floors were wet presumably from people going back and forth from the pool. No water, you need to bring your own lock to use a locker, no wipes to wipe down the machine after use but there was a spray and paper towels, and lastly, parking was minimal.

Super affordable with a variety of classes included or for a minimal additional cost. The staff are friendly, helpful, and knowledgable. The front desk is very responsive to any needs, can help you enroll in classes (or you can do it yourself online), provide water / sports drinks (at cost), and answer questions. It's a great neighborhood gym with a lot of long-term loyal members

Fitness Works is a great place to work out if you're looking for a no frills gym or a place with a pool. The equipment isn't all brand new or high tech, but it'll have what you need. It's well maintained and I always find the staff helpful. If you want to go at high peak times, you MAY need to wait for a cable machine or wind your way around other gym goers, but if you're a little flexible in your routine that shouldn't be a problem.

I called to book a free trial of the pool today. The person who answered said they close at 5 and you can book a lane for 30 mins. I asked if 4:30 was fine and they said yes, so I called a rideshare over to make sure I was on time since it was snowing. I also asked if they needed any name or number and they said no, I could just show up. When I arrived at around 4:32 the door was locked. I called the front desk twice and no one answered. I had to stand outside in the cold waiting until 4:45 when I realized no one was going to open the door. Extremely unprofessional - if there was a policy barring entry past 4:30 they should have mentioned it on the phone or at least taken my number to call or text me about it. Otherwise, they could have answered my phone calls, or even left the door unlocked and told me once I had arrived that I wouldn’t be able to use the facilities. Extremely disappointed that I wasted time and money getting here and back in the snow, to have 0 response from the front desk. Will not be coming back here again.

I went there today for my first time after having signed up online yesterday. The membership was prorated for just the days of this month left since I signed up on the 13th which I really appreciated.

I was very impressed with the quantity and variety of gym equipment they had, everything from machines & light weights on the ground floor, a pool & locker rooms in the basement, a cardio room, a boxing room, a heavy weights & weight racks area, and a studio for group exercise and a spinning room.

For $50/month - I think there are a few things they could be doing better, primarily in the locker rooms & but also regarding the work out space.

The locker rooms are cold - I found myself cold in there before I went to the pool and absolutely frigid when I came back from the pool. Maybe that’s an unsolvable problem, idk. But the showers don’t get hot, they don’t even get warm so there’s no relief from the cold. They also don’t provide hair dryers, which I’ve never seen a gym not provide before. The shower curtains do not cover the whole shower opening, I’m not a prude but it definitely did not add to my experience. So these are minor things I know, but they can make a big difference.

Regarding the workout space it would be great for a small area for someone to do some floor exercises while there are classes going on in the groupex room. I like to finish my workout with a nice stretch and I didn’t see anywhere to do this. Finally, a few DVD’s of maybe Zumba or yoga or pregnancy yoga or whatever that members can use on a tv somewhere. You can look stuff up on phones but it’s not ideal when you’re trying to work out IMO.

All in all, a good gym, but I’ve paid $20-$30/month at others and gotten just a few more amenities that made my experience a 5 star.

I was a member here for 22years I was paying 30 bucks a month they raised their prices since then it is no where near worth it. When it rains the ceiling has water coming down through light fixtures this cant be safe the treadmills are so old I'm shocked they work yes they do have a pool but if you want to swim you have to go crazy hours so it might as well not be there. All of the equipment is old but it's a gym does it Matter. So I go to do legs this morning I'm in the squat rack look up and there are 2 bars with locks so I can't use them well I got mad as a member I can't use equipment well here they were someone's personal bars the owner confronted me and picked up for the new member I have been there for 22years paid over $7000.00 in membership monthly fees. Where is the loyalty they cancelled my membership now I'm going to a gym for less money better equipment. Fitness works also has air conditioning but it never works.

There are a multitude of issues with this location:
1) Too busy after 5 PM to work out
2) Equipment and facilities are badly outdated compared to other gyms in the area
3) Membership cancellation request was not honored and I am still being billed 3 months later
4) "Client Services" rep on the phone literally said "I have no answers", which is the last thing that any client-facing employee should say.

I'd rate this place a 4/3 if I could. This is the gym I've been going to my whole life, and I didn't realize how good I had it until I moved to NYC and started going to the pile of crap that is the gym near me. Great staff, great equipment, spacious, pool and sauna. Tons of cardio equipment. Even though it's a huge place, there are a lot of "regulars" that you get to know quickly and it ends up feeling like the "Cheers bar" of gyms. They let you do power cleans, they let you do deadlifts, they let you use chalk, they let you do whatever you want. Huge area for bench press, two squat racks, two full dumbbell racks on separate floors. They have all sorts of classes as well, though I never did any, but they have everything from boxing to spinning to boot camp to salsa dancing to god knows what. They were thinking about adding an MMA class last time I was there.

In short, 10/10, would lift again. I wish I could transport this place to Queens. If you live in South Philly this is the place to work out.
