    I have to confess that I wasn't a fan of Fitness Connection - North Hills initially when I first started working out here. I loved my previous gym: location, equipment, crowd and price. But Retro Fitness closed and I had no choice. Looked at Lifetime, Planet Fitness, the Y and O2 Fitness, blech. They were all either too pricey or didn't have the equipment I wanted. As someone who's been at a gym for 25+ years, I know what I want and need. And here's Fitness Connection, charging $10/month and giving you access to a very large cardio selection, good circuit training machines, a decent dumbbell/free weight selection, group classes, a turf fitness area AND a pool?! Are you kidding me? The equipment is a bit older here but they do a decent job with maintenance. Parking is a bit of an issue in North Hills but eventually you figure it out. So while it's not perfect, it certainly meets my needs and people that work out here are pretty cool. The place is a high volume gym and it runs from newbs to serious lifters but everyone's polite and respectful to each other which helps. Just pick off-hours if you can't deal with the crowds. So when the new Crunch Fitness opened up at Cameron Village, yeah I did check it out. But at $40+ a month I just couldn't justify it and parking near that Chic Fil A is insanely bad, especially at lunch. And while it was so new and clean, something about me likes the grunginess and dirt you'll find in an older gym like Fitness Connection so I stayed. And that's why I gotta give Fitness Connection 4 stars, while the experience might be more like 3 stars, you can NOT beat the price in this area. So thanks a lot for keeping me straight, Fitness Connection!

    Overcrowded. Nasty Machines. Broken machines. These arnt new things that have just broke but have been broken for months. DONT WASTE TOUR MONEY.

    DISHONEST!  One month I have been a member, ONE month it has been the "FINAL DAY".

    The gym is big. Has all the equipment you need. The movie cardio room is a nice touch. But it is clear it is all about profit over customer service. It has been the "final day" for zero enrollment since the first day I came here. How dumb do they think members are??!! A/C is set to super hot, repairs seem to "cut corners", not to mention all the former members who say good luck cancelling your membership. This place has tons of potential. Just needs owners or managers who care about customers over profit only.

    Supposed to open at 5 AM and it's already 6 AM and we're still waiting on the staff to arrive.

    Very convenient location but it is filthy and much of the equipment is in need of maintenance.

    **GOOD GYM, POOR CORPORATE ADMINISTRATION**…read more I travel a lot, but when I joined O2 last year, the front desk was helpful, kind, and informative (shout out to amazing Sydney). I had a personal trainer who helped me for several months to achieve my fitness goal for an event. Gym and equipment were solid, customers were friendly. Due to my challenging travel schedule, I no longer required the annual gym membership and notified corporate and their staff of the cancellation. But that is when things got ugly. Received text messages and unauthorized credit card charges. In fact, they recently attempted to run $300 for non-existing training services. It feels like they either hope you don't notice or you don't care. If this is true, it is unprofessional and illegal. I am not the only one who has gripes with O2, check out other platform reviews. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Upon…read moreentering I was immediately greeted with a smile and the staff assured me I would enjoy my first work out here. Judging by the reviews I assumed my home location (Morrisville) was better. I'm wrong! I like the space here. Mostly clean and smaller but has more than enough room for comfort. I found there to be fewer people. My normal location (Morrisville) has high traffic throughout the entire week even on Saturdays. My workout was nice here. The carpet can stand to be replaced in the area near the elliptical. Besides that, it's nice here.
