They have TVs covering every imaginable angle and surface. In short, it's a well-run operation. The only downside for me is that someone there seems to have a political agenda. There's always a couple TVs beaming out FOX News. And I go to the gym to escape the incessant barrage of propaganda. On the plus side I did learn that Obama was responsible for the Las Vegas mass-shooting. That the Clintons have murdered quite a few people over the years. And that global climate change is a hoax despite all the hurricanes. However, I have to admit the pedophile ring that Hillary was running in the basement of that pizza parlor came as quite a shock. It must be true though ... since it's on TV ... every day ... at VENT. 11/11/2017 update: Today at Vent I learned that Kevin Spacey and Louis CK are despicable human beings, but Judge Roy Moore is being unjustly accused.

I think the only real reason this gym gets any bad reviews is because people go in with the…read moreexpectation that it's going to be just like the super high tech local gym chain that took over several gyms in the area. HealthPlex is not that gym, and to me, this is a good thing. There aren't meat heads throwing weights on the floor and flexing their muscles for an hour in the mirrors. There are all kinds of people working out here with different goals and lifestyles. Everyone minds their own business while working out. There is a lot of personal training going on as well. All of the staff is super friendly. I met Zach when I was interested in seeing the gym and signing up. He was awesome, answered all my questions with a friendly smile and also showed me that they do have my favorite LifeFitness elliptical machines, which sealed the deal for me. No one has them anymore and they are the only ones that don't murder my bad knees. There is no BS with this gym. Flat charge of $20 per month. No start up fees. No contracts. It's awesome. If you want all the technology, are okay with contracts and higher costs, by all means, go ahead and go to a fancier gym. Personally, I do not need a fruit scented dose of oxygen while at the gym or other extras like this. I prefer to keep it simple and I love HealthPlex. Yes, they do still have free WiFi so you can listen to music without burning your cellular data!

For 10 years I suffered from what began with sciatica pain, to what eventually became crooked hips…read moreand a twisted spine developing. I had an MRI done and they said some of the cushioning in my vertebrae of my spine were degenerative. A Mackenzie spine specialist was recommended- which helped with the pain, but it was not helping it permanently. I did everything from chiropractor, acupuncture , PT, massage, which all helped with pain management but nothing solved the problem, my hips were still uneven, the left hiked up much higher than the right, I still had pain, still had an s starting to form in my spine. They thought one leg was shorter than the other. After doing PT, and all the other modalities in use, I got to a point where I felt good enough to workout again, but I kept hurting myself because I was still moving wrong and using the wrong muscles. I was so unaligned. All the small muscles were weak and the larger muscles were overworking and I was twisted and crooked! I knew I needed a trainer to work one on one with me. It was my last hope And although it was a big investment, it was my last hope. I literally tried everything. I called Healthplex and described my needs and was recommended to train with Teresa Burke. I do not say this lightly when I tell you, I have my life back because of her. She was an answer to my prayers. Teresa has a gift to facilitate this healing of the body. She watches how you move, head to toe, and understands how to help you through it. What muscle groups you need strengthened and what you need to move through. It wasn't always easy. I would show up and it was hard to move / painful to workout because everything was crooked. She truly helped me. I'm no longer crooked. I have no more pain. All my muscles are strong in the right places now and holding me together and upright. I can workout and move like I haven't been able to in years. I recommend her to anyone. She is the real deal!

This place is kept utterly clean and has a good variety of equipment for most of your workout…read moreneeds. However I can't really give it higher than an average rating because it's missing a number of basic free weight equipment such as squat racks. Smith machines are fine, but can lead to various bodily issues that you can easily look up. As a beginner gym where you want to get your start on working out consistently, it's absolutely perfect. But once you really into the swing of things, you're better off moving to a more serious gym.

From the moment…read moreyou walk in, the space feels brighter, more welcoming, and thoughtfully designed for members of all ages and abilities. The upgrades strike a perfect balance between modernizing the facility and maintaining the strong sense of community that makes the Y so special. The fitness areas are more spacious and better equipped, making workouts more enjoyable and accessible whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete. The improved layout helps everything flow seamlessly, and it's clear a lot of care went into making the space functional and inclusive. The courts and program areas feel refreshed and energizing, creating an even better environment for activities like pickleball, group fitness, and youth programs. What really stands out is how these renovations support the YMCA's mission. It's not just about aesthetics--it's about creating a place where people can connect, grow, and thrive. The Southern Saratoga YMCA continues to be a cornerstone of the community, and these updates only strengthen its impact. Truly a fantastic improvement that members can be proud of!

He also got stronger and faster with his personal plan for training. They both have college education (not just a certified trainer) that sets the apart from other trainers. I've learned that you really have to check out the background of your trainer. There are great adult classes also. You need to check out this gym.

Everyone is super welcoming and no matter if you are in great shape or just starting out the workouts are manageable/challenging, its really all about how much YOU want to push yourself. Along with crossfit they also offer spartan, olympic weightlifting, and mobility classes which are just as awesome. The coaches are all very knowledgable and want to help you be the best you can be.
