I have been a Base patron for 9 years and just love this well-kept fully functional gym. All modern exercise equipment, saunas, classes, pristine lockers and the most amazing hospitable staff. Owner Craig takes pride in Base and the staff of Mayrin, Erin, Franklin, Leah, Jenna, Emily, Vika, and super trainers Igor, Caesar and Ebai are one fine team. Stop in Base at 60 Christopher Columbus Drive and see for yourself.

I am at peace and one with myself here. I like the high level of professionalism here. Unlike the other reviewers, I have not used personal training services nor classes yet. The majority of people working out here are with their trainers. So this fact makes this gym feels more like a private gym that centers around the 1-to-1 experience. Their description and logos on the wall match that motif. Strengths: * Clean spacious gym * Spacious studio with great spinning bikes and functional training devices * Nice bathrooms with Steamroom * Has a pool where one has to RSVP lanes online * Lots of kettlebells * Basic machines for beginners * Towels included * Decently priced day pass Opportunities: * Expand Weekend hours. 8 am to 3 pm hours on weekends is early for churchgoers like me * Tier pricing for those who don't use the pool * Standardize towel dispensing system at the front desk Recommendations: * Update this Yelp profile with branded logo and pictures of the facility. The main picture led me to believe it was a wrong profile and highlighted a specific trainer.

No prior notice, no real explanation, and no refund process provided. When I contacted him about money owed, he confirmed in writing that refunds would be issued, then completely stopped responding. From what I've seen on Reddit and on here on Yelp, I'm far from the only one. Multiple members have had the same experience: sudden closure, ignored refund requests, and zero accountability. This is unprofessional and unacceptable, and people deserve to know how he treats customers.

I thought I'd give this place a try (was Club Metro at the time). My expectations were not super high, because I thought, here's a budget end gym. Well, have I been surprised and pleased over the years! It's not fancy, but they do everything pretty well. I have a trainer who is the best trainer I've ever had, by leaps and bounds. (Gabe). The staff and management are very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. It's about as clean as could be. Equipment is good, well-maintained, and there's plenty of things to do, so it never feels too crowded. If you're in the market for a gym in Newport, I would recommend Fitness Factory over the poorly managed Newport Swim & Fitness (unless you need a pool).

I've been going to this gym since 2019 when they started CrossFit and was new to the area. I was so…read morehappy to find a CrossFit gym that was walking distance. This year they made major renovations and improvements which included a sauna and showers. It's a good looking gym! Community is small which is great cause you'll know everyone's name! If you've never tried CrossFit, this is definitely a place to start. Not pretentious or intimidating at all. If you need help with nutrition Coach Kim is your go to as well as help with scaling movements Manager Coach Jan is an easy going guy you can talk to if you want to improve your lifting techniques. Overall it's a clean facility with great people and coaches! A vending machine for pre/post workout snacks. Also I heard they have a coffee shop opening up any day now that's attached to the gym! What more can you ask for!

I dropped into an evening class and was immediately welcomed by both the coaches and members alike. My interactions were genuine and I was not met with a sales pitch or conversation about packages and payment plans. I was met with a conversation about what I was looking for and my goals. Being a member now for months, I can attest to the fact that the genuine community that I met on day one is still just as real and genuine today. The physical space of the gym works perfectly for me! It's clean, has good music, and all the equipment that I regularly use. All trainers are knowledgeable and friendly. The classes are challenging, fun, and have plenty of scaled options for all fitness levels! I definitely recommend dropping in and giving it a try!

Main reason is management is absurdly lazy. They have most showers that don't give anything except boiling hot water for many months. Some of the showers are closed. You complain months after month to the manager, every time he pretends he never heard of it. And many members who complained say the same. One of the urinals is "temporary" out of order -- for almost a year. Water comes from the ceiling in the middel of the weight room -- they have a pail to collect it for six months now. There are other problems, but main one is the manager doesn't give a shit about work, he just chit chats with the girls all day long.

I just wanted a gym that wasn't crowded and a trainer to help me learn how to start and I literally walked by Surge fitness one day, liked the vibe, and decided to sign up. I'm still there 2 years later even though I'm way more familiar with weight lifting now. The gym has a good feel, and you never have to wait for a machine or a bench. Everyone is really supportive and the environment isn't intimidating or ultra competitive, it just feels like working out with friends who push you just enough when you need it. I have a home gym also but I keep going here because I always get a harder workout and I make more progress at Surge fitness than I would alone.

One of the issues that I've encountered but never voiced was the presence of just one lat pulldown rack; it's like management read my mind and got a second one. The gym got the showers working, there's much more space, and they have maintained equipment pretty well. The water fountain broke, for example, and management fixed it in about a week. Very nice. The few issues still present aren't the management's fault IMO (namely, it getting insanely crowded in the evening; too crowded for how small the space is). I think this gym is worth checking out if you live in the area.
