Calling out people on Facebook and letting your opinion get in the way of a business is petty. Retired Marine here, three combat deployments, decorated, boxer since 2001. A "business owner" disrespecting a Marine and combat veteran"? Saying I can't meet my goals because of his view via online coaching?? letting a kid talk to me like he actually does something isn't a thing I let go by.

Out of all the powerlifting gyms in the Philadelphia area, this happens to be the best bang for your buck. As for accessories, all the machines are carefully selected to optimize strength and hypertrophy. That's not to mention all the cardio equipment and group class options this gym offers. The wall art is absolutely gorgeous and creates a welcoming ambiance for all kinds of athletes. Powerlifting and comic books are two passions of mine, and DCF has managed to blend them both.

I went to a HOTWORX in another state, when I was visiting some family. It was such a great workout…read moreand I swear I have never slept better in my life than the night I did Hot Yoga in the evening. So I saw that northeast Philly was getting one, and I decided to sign up for their pre-sale. Had to wait over 6 months for the gym to finally open, but it's open! First- the gym itself is great. The managers and franchisee are very nice, present, and responsive. This is a big deal! The gym is small, each sauna that you do the classes in is only big enough to hold 3 people, but usually you're flying solo. There's an app to reserve your slot for every class, so you can choose to book a room to yourself, or see someone else is registered and choose to sweat it out with them. Classes are split into HIIT cardio classes that run every 15 minutes on a video loop inside the saunas, and hot isometric classes which are 40 min in length. I love the classes so far. I know it can be repetitive having the same virtual instructor run the exact same class with the exact same script, day after day, but I find it actually a little rewarding, as I get better and able to push harder, the lines I remember from the class seem to make the class feel shorter. "Oh we're already at that point? Almost done!" Now for the bad....the APP IS TERRIBLE. And getting as much psychological reward out of this program relies VERY HEAVILY on the app. If you have a Fitbit instead of an Apple Watch, you can just forget having accurate calories counted, half the time (especially if you take a 2nd class in one visit) it won't even let you record your calories, and "afterburn" is supposed to be tracked for the 60 min after you finish your workout. If you forget to tap "record your calories" right at the 60 min mark, forget it! It records zero calories. So, do I need to buy a $300-600 watch to enjoy accurate app performance? Maybe. But that's nuts. The UX of the app is also some of the worst I have ever seen. None of this reflects on the location of this gym, or the gym itself, so I'm not taking any stars off on the review. I left an App Store review for that. The biggest drawback to the app being a POS, other than not getting the full experience the concept promises, is you can't compete on the leaderboard if your sessions aren't logged correctly, and there's no way to manually add them or fix it. Each gym, and the entire franchise, has a leaderboard and there's supposed to be rewards or prizes for ranking highly, so it's a bit of a let down to know that no matter how often or how hard I show up, I'm not on the leaderboard accurately, and I'm never going to "win" even the mental prize of seeing my name towards the top for our location. :( I'm actually a competitive person, but the app's shortcomings don't allow one to tap into that....which could result in falling off in going altogether, and then canceling your membership. Anyway, I love this gym, despite the app sucking. I feel incredibly energized and CREATIVE after my Hotworx sessions. I'm a graphic designer by trade, so this is SO valuable to me. Maybe I will reward myself with an Apple Watch one of these days. But for now, I know I feel great, and my Fitbit app is still tracking what it is supposed to, just not always sending it to the Hotworx app like it's supposed to.

I have been a member of this exceptional gym since the day it opened in June 2009. I would not…read morehave stayed a member one year or even a month or day if I was not seeing any results or felt like I was not getting the personal help I needed. But with the help and guidance of the owners/instructors, I have lost over 45lbs, lowered my cholesterol by over 100 points, gained confidence in myself, and have made a lot of friends. It's also nice sometimes when an "old timer" (hey, I'm only 40!) like myself beats the 20-year-olds in friendly competition! Classes run an hour starting with a group warm-up, a strength or skill component, and then the WOD (workout of the day) which can last from 3 minutes to over 30 some days. One thing about CrossFit is that EVERYTHING is SCALABLE and no one will ever say anything about it if you do not do the workout prescribed. If you can't jump on a box 24", you can do 16" or 12". If you can't lift 135lbs, you can lift 95 or less if necessary. Everything is based off your skills. Eventually, you WILL see results and improvements in your speed, strength, and stamina. There are no egos at CrossFit Prime, and everyone wants you to succeed. It's awesome to see someone accomplish that first pullup without a band, or get a handstand pushup, or any new movement! Sometimes we have team WODs. CrossFit Prime recently expanded a second time due to their increasing client base and they get the same individual attention they need to succeed just like I did. There is always a certified instructor or two to watch over everyone to make sure they are safe and correct on form which is very important. Even I still need to be corrected and watched sometimes. Additionally, CrossFit Prime has one other program which you may be interested in. OnTheJob is special for police and firefighters. The price is astounding, too. Even more, CrossFit Prime offers nutritional sessions, and can assist you in making better choices with your eating habits. We have participated with PhillyCowShare for fresh, grass-fed beef, and one owner has gotten eggs for members who wanted them. CrossFit Prime sometimes has social activities like a Halloween or Christmas Party or night out on the town, and has had teams participate in the Philly Fight for Life Air Climb, Tough Mudder, Spartan Sprint, Fight Gone Bad, Broad Street Run, South Philly Rumble, and many others. Overall, I cannot say how impressed I have been over these years with CrossFit Prime, and I think you will be, too. Give it a shot, and I know you'll be very pleased with the results!

CrossFit Prime…read more Three-hour Seminar: Excellent Parking: Excellent Trainers: Excellent Facilities and Equipment: Good Schedules: Excellent Administration: Fair Gym Contract: Fair Value for your money: Very Good I started my membership a month ago and decided to cancel for personal reasons. Generally, the CrossFit experience was very good. What I really liked about CrossFit Prime was its training staff. They were very knowledgeable and helpful, and really wanted me to progress in the WODs. As a newbie to CrossFit training, I often had one-on-one time with the trainers and that attention allowed me to achieve better form and skills. They all have an A+!! In my opinion, CrossFit Prime could improve in their customer care and administrative processes. Although I willfully signed their contract, I was not completely content with the process and contract agreement. I was psyched about starting CrossFit that I overlooked what I had read in the contract. You are required to give them a two-month notice that you plan to cancel your membership, which to me, is questionable. If you decide you cannot continue your membership, you end up paying two more months whether you go or not. It feels more like a trap than a commitment. I did not get a copy of my contract or even a receipt for the card transaction when I signed up. My greatest fear is being inadvertently charged more months than mentioned in the contract. At this point, I do not trust their payment process and will be vigilant for the next months. Nevertheless, I take full responsibility for signing a contract that was not all that clear to me. I learned my lesson. The worse part about this whole experience has been the feeling of being ignored by the gym administrator in charge of customer relations. In my particular case, for the past two weeks I have tried 4 times to get a cancellation acknowledgment and end date from the administration, and to this date, I have not been successful. That is a very disappointing aspect about CrossFit Prime. The customer is the core and lifeline of any business and should be taken care whether it is or is not an important matter to the administrator. If it is an important matter for the customer, it should be an important matter for CrossFit Prime.

I recently signed up for the Bria Method that opened only two weeks ago and have been really…read moreenjoying it. If you are like me and don't enjoy traditional gyms, with hoards of people and overwhelming looking equipment, this is for you. This gym offers classes that range from fast paced HIIT that include strength training, TRX and plyometrics mixed in with cardio as well as low impact classes such as Barre and yoga. I am pretty sure they have other classes that I have yet to try! Overall, for me, I find that a workout out in a group setting is better. I have taken a few different classes so far and all were great! The times are very convenient and typically they have a class almost every, hour at least in the early morning (which is most convenient for me). Some are ran concurrently in the two rooms that the gym has. The space is large, bright and clean. They have bathroom (obviously!) and even a shower, which I do not use so cannot speak to it. Your do have to remember to sign up for the classes, can't just show up. The sign up is easy through the MINDBODY app that I've used previously for other studios in the area. It's synced with my personal calendar so no excuses for missing a class. At the moment, the classes don't have too many people in them but I imagine that changing in the near future. I guess then it will be on the first come first serve basis through the app. I will definitely update my review after trying more of the classes they offer but so far I would recommend.

They give great coaching and direction and will provide options to accommodate injuries or limitations. Their classes are a unique blend of strength, cardio and hiit but the foundation is weight training. Each day has a focus and flows into the next so you train evenly and don't risk overtraining any particular body part. They have a separate LIT area where they offer yoga, body pump, dance sweat and Pilates classes. Members get all of this for a price that is less than just about every group fitness studio in the area. They smartly located a bit off the beaten path but super convenient to get to from all the surrounding neighborhoods in central bucks county so your membership fee isn't going to pay for rent in an expensive shopping center. This place is a "diamond in the rough". Finally, you will see your neighbors and friends here and if you don't know anyone you will quickly be welcomed into the Bria community. No pretentiousness... just normal people trying to optimize their fitness. Give it a try you won't be sorry.
