We were given a tour of the entire facility. In addition, to rock climbing there is a great fitness center in the back. They also offer onsite yoga classes, another plus. The walls have various levels of difficulties from beginner to experienced. As a beginner I stayed in my comfort zone not venturing off. However, my sister became adventurous very quickly and enjoyed it. I spent time in the fitness center. All th equipment is up to date and easy to navigate. I think this would be a great outing for family groups or friend groups. I forgot to mention during the month of March there are membership specials going on.

Starting with the…read morefacilities, the building is always clean which I always find impressive with all the chalk being used. They always have a great range of climbs whether I'm bringing a friend who's a beginner or want to challenge myself with some harder or more complex climbs. Additionally they set new climbs pretty often but do it based on 4 different areas so that if there's a climb u need a couple weeks to work on, you have plenty of time while other areas are being changed. Every experience I've had with the staff has been very positive and they are always eager to help whether I need a recommendation for new shoes or I'm stuck on a climb and want to pick someone's brain for my next move. The membership also gives you access to classes like yoga, which I haven't explored yet but I'm sure they are all great as well. The membership is also reasonably priced and they even offer discounts for students which is nice.

I loved that the bouldering area has routes that feel more like comp-style, even in the beginner grade ranges. Everything was pretty well spread out and not overcrowded, while still allowing for more than enough climbs to try in a climbing session. Highlights: - 42' lead climbing, top-roping, and auto-belay walls - lots of parking spaces - TWO training boards with adjustable angles - larger kitchenette space for lounging/study breaks/etc.

I am proud to be a member of this gym because its uplifting atmosphere motivates me to show up every single day.

If it looks like the weather is turning, I'd recommend starting outside and hitting up the batting cages or go-kart racing as those close first. We arrived just as the skies were opening up so concentrated on the inside. We had two small kiddos with us aged 5 years old. The Duckpin bowling was perfect for them. They loved it, and we selected the game theme as Christmas. Why not? It was Christmas in July! While bowling, we ordered dinner so we could eat and play at the same time. Think basic arcade/amusement park fare. But it was all pretty tasty. We ordered a large pizza and some garlic bread sticks. We devoured it all. From here, we went to the arcade, which was the biggest hit with the kids. They just loved all of the game options and winning tickets to win a prize. Personally, I was addicted to the quarter drop games and since it's all payment through a pre-paid card, it's easy to burn through the money! The rain eventually slowed so we checked out the outdoor putt putt golf and took the kids to a few of the rides. They loved the hot air balloons and the swinging ride. I will add, that the rides are more like carnival rides. Several of them were not working. We joined the kids on the spinning seat ride and there was a dramatic moment where they couldn't get any of the lap bars to open. It was actually very nerve-wracking. My bar wouldn't come up but after several tries they got it to open. My son's bar never actually got open after nearly the entire staff came out to help. He was surprisingly calm given the circumstances and we eventually were able to position him in a way that we could pull him out of the ride. The lap bar never opened. It was a little terrifying. But I'm giving the place a strong review since they truly seemed mortified by the situation. And allowed our kids to pick out whatever toy they wanted. While it was pretty traumatizing, they were able to pick out some new toys and that made them so happy. I was just glad I didn't sit in the seat my son was in. I don't know what would have happened!

Instead of just explaining rules normally, she was extremely rude and aggressive. At one point we went up into the jungle gym area and she actually yelled at us, "Next time hide better, get out of the jungle gym," which was completely unnecessary and unprofessional. It felt like we were being singled out and harassed the entire time we were there. She kept watching us and shouting at us for everything we did, even when we weren't doing anything wrong. We came to have fun, but instead the experience was stressful and uncomfortable because of how we were treated. Staff should be there to help guests and enforce rules respectfully, not follow people around and yell at them. I would not recommend this location if this is how customers are treated.

This is review rating may not be for everyone…read more Amerifit is a gym where many serious body builders work out. This is an anti-Planet Fitness (there are no pizza days). This place is where private personal trainers take on clients who do not have an affiliation with Planet Fitness. You can pay $5 per day if you want to meet occasionally. What the casual person may see upon entering: You will hear lots of grunting and weights being dropped. Do not be intimidated. The folks (men and ladies) are doing this for competitions (usually). The place may seem run down (older weights / machines). Do not let this deceive you. The place may seem small. Again - do not let this deceive you. They have smaller rooms / areas. They do have classes upstairs that seem pretty intense (not my cup of tea). Why 4 Stars: 1. I followed my trainer (which means I chose my trainer at a location where we could work out). My previous trainers were great but I did not necessarily like the gym (too crowded or not enough room to work out). 2. Equipment variety. Example - Cardio Equipment. Usually when you go into a gym, you will have a treadmill, a stepper, a recumbent bike, bike, elliptical) - All one type. Amerifit provides a variety of machines such as Cybex. Cybex is your traditional elliptical but you can control the elevation as well. They also have machines that will simulate ice skating 3. Intensity - You do see people seriously working out. This can either motivate or intimidate you. It motivates me. I can also see folks doing exercises correctly. 4. The folks are nice. All the associates I have met are very nice. I apologize to the serious body builders for writing this review, but I think this is a very good secret to share. Find you a trainer, meet him/her at Amerifit, and workout. This is not a chain gym where everything is new with standard (usually leased) equipment.
