The owners are always there never judge. The only way anyone would coach you unsolicited is if they saw you're about to get hurt.

A year ago, I walked into Celli's and met the owner. After my first powerlifting competition, he…read moretold me, "If you ever want to take powerlifting seriously, train with me"--without even asking my numbers. Unsure if this is because I'm a woman or that's unrelated. Last week, I gave the gym another shot. I planned to do a drop-in, but the owner insisted I sign up. Since then, I've been repeatedly scolded for: - Taking phone calls, even with headphones. - Filming more than just my top set (which then ended up out of frame). - Filming accessories, despite needing to track an injury. - Having my tripod at a visible height, even though I ensure no one else is in frame. The worst was when I filmed myself alone in the bathroom mirror (fully clothed), stopped as soon as the owner's wife walked in, yet still got chewed out. That same day, the gym posted a rant calling social media lifters "fame-seekers" while selectively endorsing/ reposting others' Instagram posts. I left feeling anxious about getting yelled at again. None of these "rules" were communicated upfront--I was just reprimanded after the fact.

The staff and members are extremely friendly and always greet people with a nice smile. My favorite part is the unique and electric decorations all throughout the gym! Not to mention, their equipment is top-notch. FF has outstanding machines that isolate certain muscles from different angles. (perfect for bodybuilding!) I am proud to be a member of this gym because its uplifting atmosphere motivates me to show up every single day. If you are ever in the area, I recommend getting a membership or even just a day pass at Fitness Factory!

It is an old school gym with a cool vibe, but unfortunately, the equipment was lacking. I am fortunate to be able to go to an amazing gym in Las Vegas, and in comparison, there was no speciality equipment here that I am used to using. The leg equipment was basic, and the dumbbells made my hands smell weird. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back, but got everything that I needed to done.

We visited Legends for a ninja birthday party. The entrance is a bit confusing, as the doors under…read morethe sign lead right into the weight room; however, the party room is accessible on the other side, which requires that you go through a different mall entrance. The party room is sparse but you can do whatever you want once you're there. Our friends brought all sorts of their own party supplies, then ordered food from the pizza place in the mall food court. The kids are guided through a variety of obstacles courses with two "coaches." Challenges include jumping off foam blocks, walking across a double tight-rope, a climbing wall, a zipline, and others. I can be fairly easy for kids to get some bumps and bruises - but my son certainly LOVED the concept. I would absolutely recommend considering Legends for a similar ninja birthday party!

I found the box/gym because my high school friend took me to his gym while I was back in town and have been joining him and his family for the past 2 years when I go back to where we grew up. The space reeks of nostalgic CF gyms and that makes me yearn for the days when it wasn't as corporate as some places have become. It's situated in an industrial park and lacks the creature comforts that some boxes have embraced (like A/C, for example). It's beyond clean for a CF gym and has oodles of equipment and devices to ensure you get a proper workout and instruction from one of the many qualified and excellent coaches. The membership embraced me and my loud nonsense (personality) which isn't always the case when I'm visiting other CF locations. They are all supportive, engaging to new people (there have been other instances where I wasn't the only drop-in that class), and there's no territorial or ego struggles among the members. Alex has created a culture that embodies what the name means and has meant for the past 2 decades. I can't recommend TPA/CF enough for people in the area or those looking for a place to drop in and not be judged or held at arm's length the entire time. This is a place for fitness, improvement, and celebration of the fitness journey. What Alex has created here is something truly special and I will be returning soon.

The staff is always great and the instructors are motivating, encouraging, helpful, and energetic! Mia Orlando normally instructs the classes that align with my schedule and she is amazing! I've also trained with Jamie and Ashley and they're both great! In the four months or so that I've been attending 3MF classes I've never run into any situation where classmates were jerks, standoffish, or anything else like that! Everyone is there for the same goal and will always help each other out!

My first class at this place was at their Bridgeville location per the recommendation of a friend…read more Had a good workout, the instructor was friendly, motivating and informative. I came here this past Monday for a 6am class, walked in about 10 minutes early, and there was a guy sitting behind their smoothie bar (the instructor for the class). Not only was he staring at his phone for the 10 minutes I waited for people to get to the class, he didn't ask me if I had been there before, didn't ask if I had any injuries he needed to know about, etc. Essentially, I think he was more concerned with sports stats or Instagram than anything else that morning. I would never come back to this location. You need to prepare your trainers to have better customer service/social manners than anything else. The workout was fine, it's the experience that made me not want to return.

My training buddy also just moved and I needed another inspiration to help me along. Located in a bright pink building, this box is hard to miss. Walking in, it's a simple and unexpecting gym. Usually people who are intent on starting can email the owner Mike directly from their website, however I personally walked in before one of their WOD [Workout of the Day] sessions and talked to one of the trainers. Tara was great at explaining the process working through the On Ramping sessions [3] before getting going. She's a powerhouse in a small package. Very inspiring. I love that this gym does not uphold the reputation that Crossfit has gathered over the years. True to being one of the first boxes in PA and the country, this box focuses on proper form and safety rather than fiercely competitive pushing and unnecessary injury exposure, which is great. You want to push yourself and keep motivating yourself to get stronger, but keep form instead of doing dumb headstands and not being able to move your neck for a day. [that's happened] Also, it's a fantastic schedule there are several coaches and sessions throughout the day, on Saturday's it's a partner workout at 10:00 am, a totally reasonable time to get there and a lot of encouragement. Great people. I totally recommend.

No rookie to fitness and working out. So I walked into this place thinking I knew what to expect,…read moreeven though I had never done crossfit. MAN was I wrong, this workout is absolutely wonderful. Pushes you to the limit, but in a safe and controlled manor... The coaches Brian and Chris are respectful, knowledgable, funny, and down to earth people who seem to really value the goals of the clientele. The members are super forward and helpful in getting you started and motivating you through the workouts. The gym itself is clean. It has a room with storage areas tables and couches in the front, this is where you wait for class if you are real early or relax after. The main room is in the back and this is where workouts are conducted... Plenty of space and great equipment. Theres always a warm up and then an actual workout on the board. The class has categories based on experience. I am just a rookie because I am new to the discipline of exercise. Price is reasonable for what your are paying for (your strength, stamina, and health!) especially if you choose an unlimited plan... gives you flexibility and consistency. Also Class times are super convenient for me 5,6, and 7pm on weekdays so those are perfect for my schedule... I usually make the 6 o'clock class (except on Thursday @6 - Ladies Night) Helpful and motivating coaches, hard workouts, and friendly people make Crossfit Focus a great investment for your health and happiness. Took me only 2 workouts to sign up for 6 months. Highly Recommended. Will try to go everyday

The personalized attention I received while working out with a group of incredible athletes made me stay. I have improved my fitness levels, I've built lasting friendships with amazing people and my Coach (Bryan) is always there for me. He works with me on anything I need him to, from setting fitness goals to improving nutrition. You don't get the one size fits all treatment here-everything is catered to you. I have certain dietary restrictions that are usually frowned upon in an athletic atmosphere. Bryan not once has attempted to interfere with these restrictions, but has understood and we found a way to work around it. My goals have changed since I joined the gym, and Coach has worked with me through all of these transitions. He believes in me and everyone at the gym and gives everything he has to the gym and the members. Coach Chris and Coach Bird are phenomenal as well-each Coach brings their own personalized method to each workout. If you're looking for fun and customized fitness, this is the place. If you're looking to get better, stronger, faster, this is the place. If you're looking to meet new people and form friendships, this is the place.
