It is very alarming to think a business owner can go around treating people like shit. Especially…read moreteenagers who are trying to feel better by working out. The owner (RICK) of Evolution Strength and Conditioning treated my son and his friend very aggressively, saying he makes 4 million dollar a year to get the "f" out of his gym. I've been a member since that gym opened 8 years ago and to witness how the owner treats his members is very disappointing. When in fact we paid a drop-in fee for my son to workout. Disgusting behavior. Just be careful parents. If you have sons/daughters going to that gym, make sure the owner doesn't belittle them or disrespect them. RICK, YOU AIN'T BETTER THAN NONE OF US. CALM DOWN WITH YOUR AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR.

I've been going to this gym for the past year. It's a solid gym, it's clean, and the people are…read morerespectful. There's just one huge issue: the heat. One of the main rooms has not a single fan or AC vent, and the space is essentially a warehouse with high vaulted ceilings. It is 105 degrees outside as I'm typing this, and the room without fans or AC is a sauna. Imagine working out in a 90+ degree room without a fan blowing any air around - it's miserable. I called about this issue last year, and my concern was always blown off and I was repeatedly told "we're working on it". Well, summer has arrived again and there is still not a single fan in that room. And don't even get me started on their response when you bring this up with them. The last time I mentioned this and expressed my concern, the person who answered the phone suggested I cancel my membership and find another gym. Seriously? Completely unprofessional and unacceptable. I'm not asking you to install an additional AC unit and vents (which they should do anyways), I'm asking you to spend 30 minutes running to the nearest Lowe's/Home Depot to buy two large fans, plug them in, and turn them on. That's it. It is quite literally the bare minimum this business could do to show that they care about the safety and comfort of their customers. For $40/month, I expect much more from this business.

Whenever I travel for work I try to book my hotels in close proximity to the nearest gym. I do this…read moreso often that I should start a show similar to Anthony Bourdain (R.I.P.), where I would travel to gyms worldwide and experience the differences in gym/fitness culture. Unfortunately, gyms are scarce in the Chowchilla area (where my hotel was located), but I was able to find a gym 20 minutes away in Madera. After verifying that it was a conventional gym (most of the nearby gyms only offered group classes), I put on my gym clothes and made the short trip to Fit Republic. When I entered I was warmly greeted by an employee who recognized that I was not a regular attendee (I love when staff recognize familiar and unfamiliar faces). After filling out a short e-disclosure form, I paid the $10 guest day pass fee and proceeded to throw around some iron (I love that they don't waste your time trying to pressure you into joining)! The first thing that I noticed is how well-spaced and organized the gym floor is. Aside from the squat racks that are located against a far wall in the gym, all of the equipment is organized by muscle group(s). My heart was filled with thankfulness when I realized that one of the three conventional (free weight) squat racks was available. I pointed out that they have three racks because most gyms have two (three is my lucky number), and they are almost always occupied for long periods of time. In between sets, I noticed that most of the gym patrons were focused on their workouts (no creepy staring at people as they stretch), gym equipment was being used for its intended purposes (not as makeshift couches), there were no "musclehead" vibes (throwing weights & unnecessarily loud grunting), and weights/dumbbells were racked when not in use. With the exception of the squat racks, the equipment is all new (including the cardio equipment) and the facility is clean. As I concluded my grueling workout with cardio (I love doing cardio as much as my son loves eating his veggies), I noticed two massage chairs nestled in the corner (heaven for post-workout muscle soreness). I also noticed workout machines arranged in a circular formation (similar to the Curves gyms) that could be used for group circuit workouts. I have this gym bookmarked for whenever I'm in the Madera area. Whether you reside in Madera, or just visiting, I highly recommend Fit Republic!

They charged me…read more$50, $25 for the first month and $25 for the last month, and then didn't allow me to use my last month once I had cancelled my subscription. Then after 3 months of having a membership, they charged me a $40 yearly fee which I was not spoken to about. At the time I wanted to cancel my subscription, I went in a few days before my renewal date to cancel due to financial issues, they notified me they would still be charging me for the upcoming month and when I called to ask if it could be stopped or refunded when it went through if it was not possible to stop it, they denied me and told me I should have come in 15 days before the billing date to cancel.

This is a really nice weightlifting gym in northern Fresno. If you are focused on powerlifting or…read moreolympic lifting, you will find basically every piece of equipment you could ever need for both your main workout(s) and your accessory work. They have numerous lifting platforms in different shapes and sizes, as well as different types of squat and bench racks. There's multiple types or barbells, and bumper/metal plates in both lbs and kilos, including smaller denomination plates. There's also tons of accessory machines, a GHD, and even some cardio machines for warming up. There's also a large open area for sled pushes, sprints, etc. This is one of the most comprehensive gyms I have ever been to in terms of range of equipment, and if you can't find what you need to complete your workout here, it might not exits. Two minor criticisms: the first is that the bathroom definitely had some dirty areas and some things that were out of order/needed repair, and the price of a day pass ($35) is a bit high, even for a gym like this. Otherwise, a great spot to work out in Fresno.

Also, there is a playroom for children to play in while you work out! I really enjoyed coming here when I actually was coming here-- everyone is very friendly, even when they are helping you get your butt in gear.
