LJ's Fitness Center is a breath of fresh air in the field of working out and fitness. The whole facility, including the locker rooms, is kept clean and tidy, and you don't smell cleaning supplies (or sweat).
The classes I've attended have been excellent and beyond my expectations. The instructors are knowledgeable and know what they're doing. The facility includes free weights and circuits with machines dedicated to specific areas of the body. What is cool, too, is that there is a QR code on each machine that provides a brief and highly informative video on just what this machine is for and how to use this piece of equipment safely and for maximum results. There is also a Wellness Center with massage, a Dry Sauna, a Eucalyptus Room, a Smoothie Bar with fresh made, whole fruit goodies and Hydration Stations where you can fill your water bottle. The place is safe (for women, too) and offers plenty of parking. I find their pricing to be very fair for all that you get as a member.
Personally, I've been taking Yoga and Tai Chi classes for a over a month, and I truly feel more fit, more flexible and more healthy. I have some trouble with occasional sciatic pain and this has nearly been eliminated. Yes!
I highly recommend you consider LJ's Fitness Center. If you're looking around for a good place to get fit, check out their web page, visit the facility and get a tour. There is no comparison to those chain fitness centers. Do yourself a favor and take care of yourself so you can live a healthier, happier life. You can do this at LJ's Fitness Center.

Where do I even begin? LJβs Fitness is more than just a gym; it's a supportive community that truly cares about its members. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the incredible owners, Lynn and Tim. They genuinely care about your well-being.
The gym itself is impeccably clean and organized, creating a comfortable and motivating environment. The thoughtful touches, like the dedicated female-only zone, demonstrate the owners' consideration for all members. The women's area is thoughtfully designed, providing a safe and empowering space.
I recently started training with Lynn, and I'm blown away by her expertise and motivation. In just a week, she's pushed me beyond my perceived limits and shown me that I'm capable of achieving things I never thought possible. Her encouragement and positive energy are truly inspiring.
The group classes are phenomenal! Stephanie and Hamilton are fantastic instructors who create an incredibly fun and engaging atmosphere. The upbeat music and dynamic routines make the time fly by.
Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, LJβs Fitness has something for everyone. It's a place where you'll feel supported, motivated, and empowered to reach your goals. I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact LJβs Fitness has had on my life already. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch gym experience.

So after going to and working at a rather unpopular chain gym that had killed most of my motivation, I switched to LJ's. After being a member now for a few months, my interest has returned. There is so much equipment to use. With 4 double cable towers, I've never had to wait for the weights. Plenty of benches, both flat, inclined, and declined. Squat racks, squat machines, and even a deadlift area! Heck, there are even 3 different calf machines! There are so many different choices. I feel like a kid in a candy store. You can just look around and see the passion the owners have for the fitness lifestyle.
There are various tiers of memberships that can fit into anyone's price range and goals. Live and videoed group training sessions. A boxing area. A sauna and aromatherapy areas. A smoothie bar. There isn't much more you could ask for. I haven't had much interaction with the employees, but what little I have had have been super nice, helpful, and informative. It's no surprise that they have been voted the best in the area for what should be 4 years running. I would highly recommend that everyone check this place out.
If I could change anything, it would be the showers... Maybe a private changing area. By no means is it small. It's just my hang-up. Again, this is more for myself than others in general, but some of the machines I just don't fit into or on as comfortably as I'd like. I'm of a smaller stature, so I am used to that. Each one is adjustable, but I can't seem to be able to find the right position of power on some. Again, as I stated, that's more of a me thing than anything else. And there are plenty of alternatives, I'm not missing out.
Also, I've never seen the place dirty. I usually show up after hours ($25 one-time fee), and the place is spotless. You go to other "gyms" that have 3 or 4 people working, and they don't keep up with even the light maintenance cleaning. Here, you can always find the place clean.
Keep up the great job everyone does there, and thank you.

This is a great gym, with awesome free weights, cardio section and even a boxing studio. The price is fair, considering you get to access the gym 24/7 if you chose that option, which I recommend you do!

I have been working with Lynn Kreider at LJβs Fitness since June 2021 and it has been the best investment I have ever made in myself. I have learned (and relearned) so much about talking care of my body. For the first time I have balance; physically and mentally. I am sleeping better! I finally understand what I need to do to be a healthy adult. I feel confident that I have someone guiding me on this journey who takes it as seriously as I do. Someone who makes sure my form is correct, that Iβm using the right muscles, and can modify moves around my previous injuries. If you want to invest in yourself, be educated and guided by people who actually care about you, then join LJβs Fitness!

I am not one to write reviews ever, but LJ's Fitness deserves it. I have been coming here for the past few years and it is the best gym experience there is. Everyone is welcoming and extremely supportive no matter what level of fitness you are at. Sadly, I am moving to Florida for work and won't be able to come here anymore, but any chance I get coming back to visit family I will be visiting LJ's to get a workout in!

I have struggled with obesity almost my entire adult life. After having bariatric surgery I knew I needed to take total control of my health so that I could allow this tool to work for me. I started personal training with Tim and it has been life changing! He has helped me work through physical pains that I experienced due to my obesity and I am now pain free. He has helped me focus on building lean muscle and burning fat to achieve my ultimate health and weight goals. The surgery in combination with good nutrition, personal training and the awesome classes offered by the LJs staff I have lost, and am maintaining, a 138lb weight loss, have continued to build lean muscle, and my "bad fat" has gone down from 39 to 5lbs!!! LJs has been a huge part of helping me live my best life!! If you want the best support and encouragement in a family-like atmosphere you MUST check out LJs (and grab a delish smoothie while you are there or hop in the massage chair!)

I have been going to LJ's for about 2 years, & I have had memberships at LA Fitness & YMCA and their customer service & atmosphere could never compare. LJ's is by far the best gym experience I've ever had. I always feel welcomed, encouraged and comfortable the moment I walk in! Lynn, Tim and Lauren are extremely knowledgeable and courteous, as well as the rest of their staff. Lynn and Tim are always quick to assist in showing how to use the equipment correctly and safely. The equipment & restrooms as well as the facility is always being sanitized & is incredibly clean. All around an awesome experience with a wide variety of classes being included in your membership. I can't say enough good things about this business! Highly Recommend.

I've been going to this gym (on and off) for the past 2 years now, and LJs is a great gym! They have all of the equipment I like to use (and I've gone to Gold's and LA Fitness in the past), they are friendly and inviting, AND make amazing smoothies! It's a great gym that I look forward to going to, not only to workout, but to see Lynn and Tim and their awesome staff! They have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to lifting weights, the proper way to do it, and are always willing to explain things to you. If you're looking for a gym that's not a half hour drive from Womelsdorf (or just a great gym in general) definitely come check out LJs! I would highly recommend it π

I have been to many gyms throughout the northeast and LJs is on the top of that list! Has everything you need no matter what phase of training is the focus. Equipment was always kept up to date and clean for members! Unfortunately, I am no longer a member because I moved states away! When I come back to Berks County I look forward to getting a friendly greeting and ringing the bell as I leave!

I can't say enough good things about LJs!! The staff is amazing and welcoming and will literally help with anything you need. There are plenty of machines and even a womens only area. It's not a gym where you feel intimidated, but you feel like a member of the family (even if it's been awhile since ya visited π). The gym is always clean and there is even a sauna and eucalyptus room. There is something literally for everyone classes, training, boxing, or even if you just want to do your own thing. Definitely worth a trip in to check it out, you won't be sorry!

It's a good, small gym for weightlifting and classes. It's also the only gym ice seem around here that offers boxing lessons taught by a former heavyweight, professional boxer. Even though the gym is small, it is currently undergoing an expansion called House of Gains.

Owners are friendly and its not very crowded. My only complaint is its a tad expensive compared to the big box gyms. But I can walk to this one and I can go 24/7 so those are huge pluses.
