Barry and the trainers at Train Hard Win Big are constantly challenging me to push my body to the limit and embrace my athletic ability. I joined Train Hard Win Big this past winter and have noticed an immense difference in my strength which has directly translated to my success on the softball field. Barry incorporates sport-specific exercises into our workouts that focus on strengthening all aspects of the body through proper technique and a gradual increase of weight. Train Hard Win Big has taught me to embrace the training process and to understand that progress does not come overnight. Overall, I am thrilled with Train Hard Win Big, the training of Barry Swanson (as well as all other trainers), and the progress I have made as a result!!

In fact it will again become my primary club in the PF chain. Clean. Fresh. Equipment is well placed. The new Hydromassage beds are great. They still have the seated chair massagers too. The best part is they hired staff who care! Everyone is friendly and very knowledgeable about fitness and willing to share that knowledge. They tailor instructions and advice to your age group. I have seen several staff members working with people that were in their 70s and motivating them to go the extra step without putting them through routines designed for 20 somethings. I'm back here 3-4x a week and very happy.

I've been going to Power Plant Gym for the past 17 or so weeks as part of their LIFT program, which…read moreis focused on powerlifting movements (bench, squat, deadlift). Since I've joined, I've gained muscle, learned better technique and made some really awesome friends. I love that everyone there from their incredible training staff to the lifters themselves are knowledgeable and helpful to anyone that walks in the door. It really does feel like a tight knit family that is welcoming to everyone willing to put in the work, from the feel at the gym during classes to the chili cookoffs and Phillies games together. In fact, just this past weekend we drove 2 hours down to Delaware just to watch some of our friends from the gym compete in a strongman competition and it was a blast! We've brought numerous friends for drop-in workouts and they've all walked away impressed at the camaraderie and top of the line equipment that owners Katie and Brian have for their gym. Whether it's strongman, powerlifting, Olympic lifting or cross fit style workouts you are seeking, you can find it all at Power Plant, and then some. My wife and I actually participate in Spartan races and we love that there are numerous rigs, ropes, assault bikes, and sandbags to help supplement our training.

I did not have a good experience here. On the positive side, the equipment is quite good. There are…read moredeadlift platforms and two nicely built power racks. There are some bench platforms and plenty of chalk. There is also strongman equipment such as Atlas stones. So, whether you are into Olympic lifting or powerlifting or strongman training, there is ample equipment for you. The problem is the people. As long as you are putting money into their pockets --- as by paying for training, the trainers are attentive. So, I paid somewhere around $500 for some personal training, and the advice and coaching was solid. The problem is that once you stop paying, it is evident that the trainers and the owners could care less about you --- never mind that you are paying the monthly dues. So, after I finished with my personal training sessions, I was lucky to get a nod of acknowledgement--- from the owner all the way down to the staff. And if you ask for something as simple as a spot, they act as if you are somehow imposing. I might as well have been at Planet Fitness. Call me old-fashioned, but I feel that when you pay, you are entitled to at least be treated civilly. Finally, the unpleasant atmosphere was too much, and I canceled my membership. Summary --- good equipment, but poor people-skills on the part of the owners and employees.

I recently starting coming here more often because Delaware members can access Pennsylvania YMCAs…read more All you have to do is sign a liability form and then every time you check in, you tell the staff that you are from the Delaware branch. All of their work out facilities are on the second floor (except the pools). They have a large studio where almost all of the classes are held, a walking track (which overlooks two basketball courts below), and a HUGE fitness center. My favorite part of this gym is the fitness classes they offer; which include HIIT, Zumba, Combat, Yoga, Pilates, and more!! The instructors are fabulous and I haven't met one that I haven't like yet.

This is an animal gym for animals…read more The pool is too hot for serious lap swimmers. This is, sadly, typical for YMCA pools. But what is not typical? Abandoned Band-aids and wax earplugs in the water, hairballs that never get cleaned or filtered away, water that is too cloudy to see through after the summertime day-camp kids have their way with the place, and off-the-charts unhealthy indoor air quality (don't swim here with asthma). Plus there's the one lifeguard who asks for your phone number. Every time he sees you. Nothing in the building ever gets cleaned. The locker room mold is off the charts, and dust and lint accumulating on the air duct vents suggests a serious fire hazard. Speaking of nothing ever getting cleaned, please do not touch the plastic turf in the weight room unless you want to smell like it for days. The residue of Axe body spray, Drakkar Noir, and eau de dirty sock/foot sweat from people who take off their shoes and stroll around like they're the beach has steeped the turf to the point that it will literally stain your sneakers. A handful of the weight machines are already out of service less than two months after being purchased. Not sure if this says more about the clientele or the fact that the Y bought these machines from Temu. This place gets so crowded during peak hours (which is most of the day) that it's nearly unusable, and the crowding is compounded by (1) bad behavior and terrible gym etiquette which goes (2) selectively enforced by YMCA staff. Forget about using the weight sled; two boys are lounging on it. You wanted to use the landmine press? Sorry, a woman has built herself a dumbbell nest right in front of it. You want to use the plyo boxes? Too bad; a guy is draped across them while FaceTiming his naked girlfriend and you're about to be on camera. You'd like to walk on the track? Unfortunately, a woman and her small children need, for some reason, to walk five abreast and will give you a death stare every time you try to pass. Don't even get me started on the number of inappropriate and incorrect exercises the personal trainers have their clients doing. I guess it's convenient to have a physical therapy business across the room because yikes. It's no wonder the Upper Main Line YMCA won't give us reciprocity to use their facility. This is a human zoo. For what you get, this place should cost $5 a month. I will never get over the nerve of the Rocky Run YMCA spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a lobby facelift when they are so badly in need of capital improvements to infrastructure, staff training, and some gym staff who actually know what the hell they're doing.

Working legs and you will feel it. Arms and you will realize you have extra strength you didn't think you had: Triceps workouts keep those muscles firm and stop the Wing Wednesdays from forming. Love the focus on biceps and triceps. Abs and core engages everything. You can feel the stretch and contraction standing, marching or on the floor. Christine's routines are focused with just the right amount of repetition. Each routine builds on the next. Love the music in her class. Focus on the beat and you don't even realize the intensity you're working at. Huuuge plus on this one. Got there earlier and was able to also attend Christine's Pilates class. Wow! That was better than physical therapy... actually it was PT for me. Those stretches, weights, and band exercises really helped me with my sciatica. I really enjoyed this class too. Perfect Wednesday combo: Pilates at 9:45am then Bodyworks at 11am. Afterwards, gratitude for feeling great and not crashing out.

They have a ton of rules posted about guest passes then they let anyone in for free. Not sure why I pay I could just walk in. It's getting dirtier every day. One girl cleans and does a good job but does so at like 10am. Why can't they do this when the gym is shut down? Or maybe more than once a day?. Wish the gym would suspend or revoke their memberships to those who can't figure out where the dumbbell they were using goes or those who just completely say F it and don't re-rack their weights. They have no bands. Their clips for the cable attachments seem to either break or get stolen just about every day. They have 3 basketballs. The pool has been closed for a while and I've never seen one person working on fixing it. Working here must suck. Over the past two years I haven't seen one person work here longer than 6 months besides maybe a salesman or two. I have no idea who's in charge of this place. The trainers don't last here for more than a month either. If I didn't live walking distance away I'd go to a different gym.

I looked around and contacted several different trainers, Jeff responded before anyone else. Although I looked at a few others, I picked Jeff because I just liked him. It was an excellent choice. He is dedicated, he knows so much about wellness and more importantly he is always learning. I can ask anything about nutrition, lifestyle or training and if he needs more information, he finds out and then shares with me. The thing that matters most is that here I am, four months past my big day and I still train with Jeff. I am also so happy to say that my husband was so impressed with what he saw and with what I told him, that he now trains with Jeff too. I have been so impressed with the way in which Jeff has modified everything to meet my husband where he is. A very different place than where I ever was, and the results are already visible. Not only does my husband look healthier, he clearly feels better too. It has been such a positive experience for both of us.
