This is my second time being a member at Healthtrax and I would have left them feedback directly,…read morebut they have no feedback box so I had to leave it here. I just took a Pilates class where the instructor didn't even introduce herself. Didn't check to see if anyone was new didn't correct anyone's form Was on her phone a good amount of the time in class. There was no music. She wasn't there early to prepare and they literally talked about alcohol and drinking the entire class. I love camaraderie in a group, but I was there to exercise and though I was able to get a workout, I was so distracted by everything else in the unpleasantness of the focus of the class that I couldn't wait to get out. I have been an instructor for 20+ years so I feel confident sharing this critique. Do better Healthtrax!!

Although one the two hydro massage tables is often broken, this new gym feature, introduced a…read morecouple of years ago, provided a pleasant end to a vigorous workout day. Enter your code and settings, and once a day your membership allowed you to sit back and enjoy a 10 minute hydro massage. Not any more. Without notice, management decided to abruptly end this free gym membership feature and turn it into a revenue stream. Now it charges a monthly extra fee. Another member and I discovered this service subtraction on a recent Saturday morning when we entered our individual codes but the machine failed to respond. I walked over to the front desk to ask them to reboot the machines and was told that management suddenly realized that the hydro massage tables were operating in the red, and thus an extra fee would be charged. There was supposed to have been an email that explained this to members but, sorry, apparently it never went out because many members had questioned why the tables weren't working. I wonder what other machines management is going to soon discover have been operating in the red ? Doesn't the club own these massage machines ? How can members using them cause the club to operate in " the red" ? Bikes ? Treadmills ? Rowing machines ? BTW we were told that the steam room was supposed to have been fixed this Spring but it's the end of June, 2025 and it's still out of commission. Some additional red flags: one of the hand held hairdryers in the men's locker room has had a sign on it saying " out of order" for more than two weeks, there are obvious cut backs in regular cleaning and maintenance - the white tiled top step into the hot tub was filthy last time I was there, Kleenex boxes are no longer provided, plastic bags for wet suits are no longer provided etc. I just hope the local health department regularly checks the water in the pool !

The changing rooms appear clean. I've never used the showers Really, there is nothing fancy or unusual about this gym. It's fine for a workout. The only downside I see is that after 2pm on a weekday the place turns into an after-school social club where llama-headed schoolboys congregate around machines and cackle like hens! Otherwise, the place is fine.

### THINK TWICE BEFORE JOINING BIG SKY FARMINGTON…read more **Potential members--please read this before signing a membership agreement with Big Sky Farmington.** My daughter joined Big Sky Farmington **while she was still a minor and in high school**. A few months later, she needed to cancel because she is going away to college out of state. When she contacted the gym to cancel, instead of making the process straightforward, we were told there was a **one-year contract** and that she needed to jump through a series of hoops to prove that she was moving. That raises a very basic question: **How does Big Sky believe it can enforce a one-year contractual obligation against someone who was a minor when the membership agreement was entered into?** I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not going to make a definitive legal conclusion about the enforceability of the contract. But the fact that **the member was a minor when the agreement was entered into** is a significant issue that I believe deserves an answer--not simply a reference to the fine print. And the cancellation experience gets even more concerning. We provided documentation showing that she has been admitted to college out of state. Apparently, that isn't enough. Under Big Sky's stated "moving" cancellation policy, they are demanding things such as a new lease, utility bill, driver's license, pay stub, insurance document, bank statement, credit-card statement, etc. For students, they specifically demand **both a class schedule AND a tuition receipt**. They also say they require **25 days' written notice** and that payments will continue until they receive what they consider "sufficient proof" of the move. Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection has also specifically warned consumers about health-club cancellation problems and says that when a member cancels, the health club must provide written confirmation of the cancellation and its effective date within 10 days. https://portal.ct.gov/ag/press-releases/2026-press-releases/attorney-general-tong-highlights-new-click-to-cancel-consumer-protections So here is my question to Big Sky: **Why is a former high-school student, who was a minor when this membership was entered into and who is now leaving Connecticut for college, being subjected to this level of resistance simply to cancel a gym membership?** This isn't about trying to get something for free. It's about **basic fairness and transparency**. **My experience has made me seriously question whether Big Sky Farmington is the right place for families, students, or anyone who values straightforward cancellation policies and customer service.**

There isn't a reservation system at all and no lifeguard on duty which makes everything very confusing. Thankfully I arrived as a swim lesson was ending so I was able to stay in that lane until the next lesson. The water was extremely cloudy and I'm not sure if it's because it was a low lit area but it was tough to see under with my goggles. The locker room is really nice and spacious. Since I'm shopping around for a gym with a pool, options are limited but I don't see myself returning for this indoor pool. I'd love to try the outdoor pool.

Teaching you how to train with your body, dumbells and resistance bands. 5.)

They give you a nutrition seminar every month! Showing you what to eat, when to eat it and how much to eat of it! Yeah that's right, Tyler English Fitness! The owner himself got tired of the mundane and overestimated Gym culture that he decided to use not only his academic skill but his profession.........­Natural body building! He's learned the science of nutrition, proper work outs and building a body. He has a degree in sports medicine and exercise science, a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) performamce enhancement specialist, World National Body Building Federation competitor and winner on many occasions, Certified Personal Trainer and Youth Conditioning Specialist. This guy is REAL DEAL. Because of him I managed to have so much energy, with the "look good naked" body. I ate very nutritiously by sticking to his diet plan, and worked through his intense sessions. Note: about 600 to 1,000 calories get burned from your body doing this class. I went from an overweight into almost obese 225 pounds to a lean and ripped 190 pounds. I was an athlete in high school. I played Football, ran Indoor and Outdoor track. But at around 30 years of age, I had a better body with awesome athleticism (increased agility, stamina, endurance, power, etc.) now than when I was 16 years old. I have progression pix posted up pn here. You can go to their website: www. ConnecficutFitnessBo­otCamps . Com. Joe C. (Yelp Elite '12) is a frequent Boot Camper and he is the 8th picture in the testimonial section. That's proof The last reviewer, Joe C. Is the walking billboard for this place. He lost 75 pounds! I was impressed to see his progression over a year of hard work! Back in the day this place started with house moms and female professionals over the age of 40. Now many people have caught on to how awesome this place is. You can now see people of all ages, sexes, etc. all here for one thing........to stay healthy! I can never go back to the gym. I'm too lazy. I have no motivation unless someone who knows their stuff and that's Tyler English and his elite staff!

He also owns Athletic Revolution, a training camp for children 5 years old to adolescents.

Awful experience. I went here for a ClassPass class and when I showed up, there was nobody at the…read moredesk and I was wildly confused.

I tell him like okay, just FYI the class is listed as being at 6:30 and he was so unapologetic. I did catch a glimpse of the class before I left and it was an instructor playing a TAPE of some other fitness class...an absolute joke.
