Don't let the appearance fool you, the weight room is sectioned off from the athletics. NFC has everything from old school to modern equipment, and an area dedicated to CrossFit.

Used to work there, old owners were great when it was Summit Fitness and Sports but new owners not…read moreso good nor was I paid by them what I am owed. They put a lot of crossfit equipment in what used to be the Fitness arena which good for the people coming from the new owners old gym, but bad for the casuals that liked getting away from the regular gym. Most of the equipment is outdated and unsafe and I have been out of there a little over 2 months and still have not updated most of it. They do good things for the kids however some of the coaches there have no buisness being around kids as one beat up a teenager (real role model google his name) and another... well..... Made national headlines. And working there? Sucked!! The personal trainer left over from the old ownership used to have our Co-workers text her and call her everytime this certain guy came in with friends.. The kicker?? She's married! Was like working in a junior high and she always tagged the girls name in the screen as very rude names. Also made fun of a lot of the members which is not cool for a personal trainer. This is all my opinion based on what I experienced working there.

I have recently decided to make a life change and do something for myself. I thought long and hard…read moreand decided that I wanted to try and challenge myself with some sort of fitness class. I was so scared to do this being out of shape and over weight. I had joined weight watchers and told myself that when I lost my first 25 lbs I was going to join a class. Well the day came quicker than I thought and I needed to try to find a class. A girlfriend had told me about a small personalized circuit training class called Body Blast at summit, it almost sounded too good to be true, my first class was even FREE! I went to my first class and was so nervous and scared, thinking I am so out of my league, how am I ever going to be able to do this???? The class was WONDERFUL!!!! The personal trainer who teaches the class was Tiffany and she is AMAZING!!!! She is young, so patient, encouraging, challenging and welcoming (I could go on and on). Even thought there were exercises that I could not do yet she modified everything for me without making me feel out of place. She is so encouraging that she pushed me to do things I didn't think I could do. Completely covered in sweat and feeling extremely accomplished I couldn't wait to go back and try it again. I knew I was going to sign up that night! I have been going once a week for a couple of months and find myself looking forward to my next class! No two classes are ever the same and there has never been no more than 12 people in a class . Thank You to Tiffany who every week continues to inspire and push me to do things I didn't think I could do , challenge me to try new things , take the time to show me modifications and never making me feel out of place! I would totally recommend body blast to anyone looking for a fun challenging class. If I can do it so can you!

Old ownership was great, but new ownership Norwich Fitness Center not so good. I also worked there…read more New ownership owes me money, old ownership always paid on time. New ownership raised rates but did not do much if anything to improve. Out of date equipment, but hey they have cross fit.. Not a good gym for beginners either, I watched personal trainer consistently make fun of people including one girl on the leg press machine that was in better shape than her. Only good part of the gym is they do good things for the kids. Just Google search the names of the coaches working with your kids, especially those not listed on their Facebook or website, let's just chalk it up to "They forgot to do background checks" keep the kids safe. This is all my opinion based on my personal experiences working there and being a member there

The Staff in the Norwich location is engaging and the location is very convenient for me. My…read moreconcern has always been the low number of available, well working upright bikes. I would guess that there were 6 or 7 bikes with 1 or 2 not working well or out of service. Since the recent equipment upgrade, there are only 2 basic upright bikes, and one has been out of service 2 times since installation. I am age 70, in recovery mode indefiniately, with nerve issues affecting my lower body (neuropothy), and hip trouble. Non-weight-bearing excercise is what I (and others) need. We simply want to remain mobile by hopping on the bike for 30 minutes or so and keep blood flowing to our lower extremities. Treadmill is not the answer and recumbent bikes are not comfortable for the hip. The Norwich location needs more upright bikes. Most staff that I have spoken to agree.
