    Filthiest lady's room I've ever been in. Looks like it hadn't been cleaned for months.

    It's got the basics. Plus the price is right, and it never closes. It has all that i need with No…read moreextreme extras. Of course a pool would be excellent-- but not here. Meet Kyle, he is the main man at the desk, more than willing to give you a tour or a training session! There are 1/2 a dozen treadmills, stationary bikes, olipticals, precores with a few extra special cardio machines; octane and rowers. Not to mention the other 2/3 of the gym with weights. Machines and free weights (all the muscle men too). There is also a large center that's carpeted for stretching, yoga and a few evening a week there is an aerobics class. Extras: Complimentary coffee, child care area (uncertain of the cost) locker rooms with lockers, bathrooms and 3 shower stalls plus a scale. Main gym has mostly mirrors around the permeter; with many flat screen TVs with Direct TV (no Sunday ticket) but the remotes are scattered around the machines to change the channel as you like. They have water fountains, plus sell Hinkely bottled water for one dollar. There is also an assortment of weight-training GNC type products to buy. Did I mention that it's open 24/7? With your key card, it's never too late for a jog. Prices are reasonable too; $50/mon for a 3 mon trail contract or $50 start up fee and $20/mon for a year. There are other options.... But you will need Kyle for that info. Long story short- its a gym. A typical gym but with friendly, personable staff with above average equipment. Fair warning; as any gym it's the most crowded Mon-Wed 5-7 pm, with it tapering off Thur-Sunday at various times.

    I dropped in to Fitness America just to use the gym for the day when I was visiting for a wedding…read more I absolutely love this gym. If I lived in Peoria I would definitely be a member. What I particularly love is the "CrossFit" area in the back. It has absolutely everything you need for Olympic lifting (bars, bumper plates) and tons of stuff for the high intensity workouts. It was only 5 bucks to drop in for the day. Wish I had this gym where I live in Kansas I would be there everyday. The manager (maybe owner?) who was working when I went was very nice and welcoming. Five stars!

    I used to belong here. I joined because the location included a pool and a large hot tub…read moreoverlooking the Illinois River. While soaking in front of a huge glass window in the hot tub, you can actually see the bald eagles nesting in the trees on the other side of the Illinois River! But that's about it. The place is being run by idiots, all on the city payroll -- usually guys wearing tight body shirts who spend most of their time working out on the machines while giving scant attention to the "problems" all around them. The workout machine area overlooking all of this is virtually deserted with no supervision and no customers, particularly in the evening hours after work (one has to wonder why?). This encourages pilfering and chronic theft in the locker areas, among other things. Then a white school bus arrives and unloads various people on a hot summer day, who stand around talking to each other in the Olympic-size pool, thus preventing anyone from swimming laps until after they and their white bus leave two hours later. If one tries to complain, a guy in a tight body shirt comes over to tell you your behavior is not acceptable. Meanwhile, the people off the bus could be drowning from no supervision for all he knows because, up to then, he and his "crew" are busy talking to various types about tomorrow's big game at the events center! It is a big political operation to keep everyone happy during the summer heat and the drop-dead months of cold winter, so they will not throw rocks or steal hubcaps (as well as cars parked nearby) due to the lack of personal safety on the streets around the place --which has been funded by tax monies -- that is from those who pay taxes. Somebody made a lot of money building this place. Then they use it to stick it to the taxpaying citizens to keep some people "happy" who are "needy" and unhappy for whatever reasons. But watch for Mr. Body T. Shirt to run for mayor next time around, since he knows how to make the big shots with the real money happy.

After several months of harassment by another member, we escalated…read morethe case to the building level management who informed us they had no instrument at their disposal to enforce the code of conduct they expect of their members, and that we should just ignore the intimidation of the other member. We hate to leave this place, particularly because of the relationships that we have formed with so many good people here, but the dereliction of the duty of care by management is just unacceptable and morally questionable. I hate to say it, but you'd be safer going somewhere that values member safety over money.

    I've been going to Farrell's since October 2011 and have been holding off on reviewing it till I…read morewas sure about what I wanted to write, but I think I'll finally give it a shot. I'm going to tell you what it is, and then why I like it. What is it?: Farrell's isn't your standard gym, and it isn't your standard approach to a fitness plan. The program is a mixture of kickboxing and resistance training. Monday-Wednesday-Friday is kickboxing, and Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday alternates between Upper and Lower body band resistance training. The classes are 45 minutes, and you pick a time to show up 6 days a week. I chose the 5am class, but there are many options. When you first join Farrell's you are enrolling in the 10 week transformation program. Everyone that you see in Farrell's has gone through the 10 week program. This includes the people working behind the counter and all of the instructors. The instructors aren't personal trainers, they are just normal people that have gone through the program. When they aren't instructing, they're working out right next to you. You get a coach that's in your class for the whole 10 weeks to help you stay motivated and answer any questions you may have. There are 3 fitness tests during those 10 weeks. At the end of the 10 weeks the most improved male and female of each 10 week program wins $1,000. Seriously. With your enrollment you get a nutrition/workout manual, boxing gloves, and hand wraps. When I signed up it was about $360 for the 10 week session. What to expect: The first Saturday you will go to Farrell's for orientation. Your body will be measured. This includes body weight, BMI, and dimensions. They will take a before picture (Guys in shorts, ladies in shorts and tank/bikini). You will also do a step test to get your heart rates, and a reach test to check your flexibility. You will see how many situps and pushups you can do in a minute. Finally, you will run 1 mile outside. All new members do this. You will meet your coach and all of the new 10 weekers that will be in your class and going through the program with you. The nutrition program is explained to you, as well as how to put on your wraps and what to expect when you start the workouts. The first couple of weeks of workouts are focused on teaching the new 10 weekers the form and techniques of kickboxing and resistance training. The expectation is that you don't know anything about kickboxing or bands. The pace is slow and there are plenty of FIT members (graduates of the 10 week class that continue the program) that will help you and answer questions. You will be sore, and you will be tired, but everyone picks it up fairly quickly. As the 10 week program progresses, the workouts get more involved. With kickboxing you add in combinations of kicking and punching, aerobic sets in between combos, and 'fun fridays' that really push you. For resistance training you add circuits, drop sets, and super sets. At 5 weeks you take another fitness test to check your progress. The final test is at 10 weeks. There is a completion celebration that weekend when the winners are announced and everyone can appreciate their results. Why I like it: So if you've made it this far, the question is probably "So is this worth my time and money? Does it work?". My answer is unequivocally yes. During my 10 week session, I lost 20.5lbs. I'm much stronger. I shaved 1:30 off my mile time. I got great results, and so did most of the others in my session. I've tried some things in the past, but there are some reasons why I think this worked for me. First, staying motivated while working out is hard for me. This program kept the workouts interesting, and you had a support structure built in to get you to come to class. Everyone there is normal, and you don't have any of the gym rats or super buff people that often intimidate others. The $1,000 prize also provided motivation. I did not win the prize, but I felt that I could, and many others were in the same place. Like I said, everyone had great results. Second, the nutrition program wasn't a 'diet'. The program allowed you to still eat things you liked, but got you thinking about eating smarter. This is honestly where most of my weight loss probably came from. The meal plans and recipes made it easy to do, and even if you don't stick to it 100%, you'll still see some results. Finally, this program is fun. Kickboxing feels great, and the program makes it enjoyable (yes, enjoyable) to wake up at 5am. The way the program is set up you get to know and like the people you work out with. When you miss a day, people comment that they missed you at class. They motivate you to push harder and keep it fun. Farrell's worked great for me, and I've recommended it to everyone I know. If you're looking for something different from the normal gym, try this. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

    I'm gonna have to give it up to this location. They have almost everything you would need in a gym-…read moreminus the bench press and a track to run on. Having a pool is great and all but for me, I never used the pool at my other gyms when they had them. There aren't any classes here but to make up for that, there is a 30 minute express workout area located in the back of the gym. I've personally never tried it but from what I saw, it had a nice layout of machines targeting different areas of the body all in the 30 minute span. There are 2 types of memberships here. 10$ and 20$ a month. 10$ gets you in that specific location that you signed up at, anytime you want. That's about it. The 20$ membership(also known as the black card) includes a heck of a lot more. One of the best perks is being able to utilize any PF location nationwide! Some others includes: unlimited access to their tanning beds(once a day for health reasons of course), hydro-massage tables(this is a MUST DO after every workout for me), total body enhancement(look this up if you don't know what it does), massage chairs, 50% off on all drinks... Oh, and you're able to bring in 1 guest with you every time you come(black card members only). The locker rooms have lockers for daily use(bring your own locks) as well as shower stalls. All of the equipment are in very good shape, and the place looks pretty clean. If you are unsure how a machine works, or need fitness advice--- ask the front desk and someone will help you. The staff here at night aren't super talkative but they get the job done. I also asked for permission from a gentleman up front to take pictures for this review, and he happily agreed(although the girl behind him said something that I still am not sure of, maybe that it's not allowed or that no one has asked that before) :-) I've been to many PF locations all over Orlando and other cities in Florida, but this one seems the biggest and cleanest to me. BTW, I only come here at night(after 9pm) and the gym is not overcrowded whatsoever. There's rarely a wait on any machines, but if there is..it would be for just a few minutes max as opposed to Gold's gym where I've waited up to 15 minutes for a machine before. I can safely say this is a great gym and I would recommend anyone in the area to come and join up here.

The guy showing me around didn't say anything. Made me hesitant to go back until a month later since it's near where I live. Reception here is very weak, most of the time I do not have a signal. There is a trail nearby which is nice. Also an outdoor basketball court and bar gym. The equipment is in good shape. The bathrooms are clean. Front desk employees always greet me with a smile.

I was immediately greeted by the instructors. I went to two classes and I was greeted the same way in both classes. My fellow work out partners were friendly and helpful as well. I stopped at the desk to ask about lap swimming and classes for the following two day. This attendant highlighted classes that she thought I might be interested in attending.

Poor attitudes and customer from the manager/owner. TYou have so many better choices for gyms in this area. Do yourself a favor and do not use Golds Gym in Morton.

    Pros: -Very friendly front desk staff…read more -Wide variety of machines. Help hit a wide variety of muscles. -Classes, juice bar, and WiFi -Very clean inside. Employees are constantly mopping or cleaning the gym. Bathrooms, equipment cleaners, are always stocked. Cons: -Some trainers stand around and talk to clients on machines for long periods of time. Not just explaining lifts, but random conversations that could be had while moving the equipment or while not taking up a machine. And use multiple machines at once. Taking up a bench, cable station, and dumbbells, all at once with one client. -Some trainers rarely disinfect machines after use. Either personal use or with a client. -Might sound small but there's a decent amount of people that wear jeans in there. Just makes the gym feel cleaner when people are not wearing their street clothes around the gym. -if you don't use/don't have a need for all the services, like the childcare or classes, the membership is pretty pricey. Overall I like the gym, with the Golds name on the building it was the first gym I looked at when I moved to the area. Really enjoyed the Golds at college, even though this is run privately. All gyms have their issues, from people standing around, not re-racking weights, and using multiple machines at once. Can't fix the people but maybe more signs could remind people of the basics.
