Cedar Street Personal Training Gym is the real deal. What stands out most to me is the ownership…read more Nick, the owner, is such a genuinely nice guy. You can tell he cares not just about running a great gym, but about the people who walk through the doors. His energy sets the tone for the whole place. I also can't say enough good things about training with Mitch. He's really taken the time to focus on my form, which has made a huge difference in my workouts. Instead of just throwing me through exercises, he's been intentional about helping me build a foundation that will carry me through my fitness journey. I feel stronger, more confident, and supported every step of the way. If you're looking for a gym where the ownership actually cares, and trainers who will invest in your progress, Cedar Street is the spot.

I absolutely love this place. The perfect strength training gym. The coaches are so knowledgeable,…read morepersonable and caring. The gym itself is the perfect size for small group sessions- just big enough so everyone has enough space to spread out and work their session, just small enough so that you don't feel overwhelmed. The cost suits the everyday working person. I've only been a member for three weeks so far, but I'm already so comfortable and have made friends within the community. If you are looking to start your strength building journey, this is a great place to start!

I now live closer to another studio and it is simply not the same. I drive 30-40 minutes from home/work to go to NoLibs, and it is worth it! I love the variety of the workout; every day looks a little different! The benchmarks and other challenges have kept me motivated. In the past, I have been more focused on "burning calories", but now I don't even look at that - I just challenge myself to be the best version of myself that I could be that day, which may look a little different each time...and the live heart rate monitoring is super cool! I honestly don't think I would be as invested without the heart rate monitoring/splat points/etc. Thank you, coaches and staff, for everything!

The front…read moredesk staff are lovely and welcoming, the coaches are informed, fun, motivating and supportive. The coaches' playlists are 8/10 times VERY good, with lots of variety. The facility is by far the most spacious and well maintained that I have been to.. and this means A lot when it comes to working out (machines, although close together, have a good layout and more space in between than other studios). Finally, the equipment is in good condition compared to other studios (dumbbells, bands, BOSU balls etc..) and they maintain it well. I love this orange theory location and I'm so grateful its my home base.

I then contacted them to set up an appointment then I went there and saw first hand why they got amazing reviews.

I've noticed a steady an improvement in my body when it comes to things like lifting, carrying heavy grocery bags, etc. I also really appreciate how clean the gym is.

Cannot overstate how much I enjoy the class atmosphere! Each workout I've done so far has been challenging but do-able and the trainers always ask about injuries and offer modifications. The small group format means lots of attention, if you're doing an exercise incorrectly or struggling with a weight the trainer corrects you right away or offers a different version. As someone who is easily intimidated by free weights, these classes are a great way to get more comfortable with them. My one critique would be that package pricing is high compared with other workout studios in the area (city fitness thrive, orange theory, amrita etc) . It would be nice if they offered a monthly package that was priced around $80 without annoying subscription cancelation rules. Still if you view the class as more of a group personal training session it has great value.

I began by looking for a gym that was small and local to my area. I also tried to find some place…read morethat was women centered. I like Train And Nourish because it is small and very personable. The trainers there are really nice and give you a lot of great technique and information about how to get a great workout. The rates are reasonable and the other clients in the group classes all seem to enjoy the classes as well. I like the fact that you can sign up for the classes that you want to attend online. This way you know who is teaching the class and what the theme of the class is. There is plenty of parking in the area and they also offer flexible hours for the group classes that fit my schedule. So far so good.

What a difference a couple of weeks can make. In any aspect of life, the unexpected can occur for…read morebetter or for worse. For some, to go to the gym, it's about getting in the right mindset. You may need a person who pushes you- to kickstart your own drive. Asking for help is OK. What went wrong at CKO South Philly, I take accountability for, because, like most things in life, if you want it done, you need to take initiative, and ownership. Few people are empathic, and less are available when you need help. That's life, and reality. This isn't a gym where seeing another exercising longer, or lifting more weight leaves you feeling low. CKO SOUTH PHILLY is kickboxing gym that "helps you achieve fitness goals and RELIEVE STRESS by TAKING IT OUT ON THE BAG"! The gym is clean, and sanitary. The staff is dedicated to ensure so. The members are as diverse as the staff. Everyone is focused, cordial, and aiming towards achieving a common goal. A week prior to my 1st class, I received personal texts to offer assistance. The most valuable texts, occurred during the 1st week. They were UNEXPECTED, ENCOURAGING, as are words of affirmations on walls across the gym. Texts showed care, and thoughtfulness. From business and psychology standpoints, they were a smart value add, and provided a boost to my psyche, that I needed. Who knew messages would push me to drive 25 minutes over going to the gym, I never utilized, 2 floors below? The texts were ingenious marketing, and optimized fitness effectiveness- a personal touch, and market differentiator. I was HIGHLY impressed, and expressed such to the owner. My first 2 classes were both led by Stacey- she's amazing! 1st class, "Kickboxing & Resistance", integrates kickboxing with a resistance band around your ankles along with combined revolving movements from punches, kicks, jumping jacks, squats, planks, pushups, etc. My 2nd class with Stacey, "Kickboxing & Conditioning"- incorporated kickboxing with strength training. In addition to an assortment of punches and kicks at the bag, done in repetitions, you push/kick the bag with your hands, feet, weights, the bag, with stretching at the start and last portion of class A class I highly recommend, especially for beginners, is CKO Technique: Skills and Drills. Ray Reese, an outstanding instructor, begins and ends with stretching, and teaches you the fundamentals of kickboxing. Repetitions of punches and kicks have you constantly in movement, raising your heart rate, and working on 2 bags. As class progresses, so does the pace, the mixture of punches, kicks, action work to the bag with your forearms, and knees, pushing the bag, rotating feet and arms. Positioning alters from in front of bags, between 2, moving from a starting place, rotating moves, right to left, and returning where you started- all continually modified repetitions. You'll kick from behind, side, and at different heights on the bags. The last portion, with lights off, is akin to the final lap of a race- shifting between bags, legs, and arms, combinations, forces change from 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 95%, called out at any moment by Ray. Speed, and changing momentum ensure a maximal workout. The texts set a belief that the gym affords a thoughtful, and caring approach. When texts ceased, I became dejected, canceled all but 4 classes in my 1st 3 weeks. My mindset went back to where it was, prior to ever contacting the gym. My desire to attend, and renew halted. Weight that quickly shed began to come back, from no exercise. It must be routine! What made the gym distinguished, and a unique inspiration departed abruptly. It's disappointing on many levels, no fault to any fantastic instructor. A standard was set that no longer existed. Motivation, solely, must be my own. Self-inspired in other aspects of my life, it was eye-opening. Your mental health, is as important as your physical! Both are stigmatized in society. I'll end my last 10 days a better version of myself than I began, and continue at a new gym...without expectations. What I experienced, and learned from the superb training staff, is well worth the price of admission.

After having my daughter during the pandemic, I was by far at my highest weight and lowest fitness level. I had taken a few classes before the pandemic, and after seeing a post about special pricing for postpartum moms, I knew it was time to come back consistently. 5 months later, and I am so much stronger and happier in my body. It's easy to show up for a class when you know your instructors are going to support you, however you need that day. I'm so grateful for this community and cannot recommend RippedPHL enough.

It really pains me to write this review. I've been taking classes at RippedPHL since shortly after…read morethey opened. Of the various treadmill workout studios in the area that have come and gone over the years, it consistently was my favorite. It had been in my regular rotation for a while until they changed the Thursday night class that best fit in my schedule to a strength only class. Since I really like the treadmill portion I hadn't been here in several months. During that time they made some changes, and the class names changed. I was hoping it was just the names, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. I'll start by saying that I'm a runner - I run regularly, most often on trails with lots of hills. Although I am squarely a back of the pack, party pace runner. Ripped's treadmill programs have three options of increasing difficulty. They also have a high incline hiking option that I was excited about when they launched, but never ended up trying once I saw that it hits speeds of 4.0 MPH and higher. That's not a realistic hiking pace for me, especially when you're at double digit inclines. I've always found level 1 of the running programs challenging, but doable. Now, however, level 1 is significantly harder. When the first treadmill interval kicked off, instead of the usual 3.8 MPH warm-up pace, the level 1 warm-up pace had jumped to 4.5 MPH, which is a pretty significant increase. And it just got harder from there. At one point the speed was at 6.5 MPH, which used to be a flat road sprint speed for level 1, but this time we were mid-hill on a 5% incline and going up from there. The second tread set started off with 5.0 MPH as the warm-up. For level 1! That's not a warm-up for me - that's my race pace. I had to completely tap out with this new program. I know some people like the challenge of striving for goals out of reach and find that motivating, but I'm the opposite. If I wanted to try something harder and currently out of reach I could try levels 2 or 3. Finding myself completely unable to keep up with the lowest level option as someone who identifies as a runner outside of class, let me feeling really bad about myself. I used to leave these classes feeling tired and challenged, but confident and accomplished. I left this class feeling defeated and bad about myself. At a time when it seems like a lot of studios are making an effort to accommodate people at all levels of the their fitness journey, Ripped appears to be going in the other direction. And yes, I realize I can modify and reduce the speed or walk when I can't keep up, but those numbers I'm supposed to be attaining and failing to reach are right there in front of me challenging how I feel about my performance. One of the benefits of fitness classes for me is the boost they provide to my mental health, and that isn't going to help me think positively about my fitness journey and performance. If your approach to fitness is different than mine and/or you're further along on your fitness journey in terms of performance, I encourage you to try RippedPHL. It really is a great studio - the instructors are amazing and the front desk is always awesome and welcoming. And I'm assuming their regular members asked for this update and like the harder programs, which is why they've made the update. I wish the studio the best, I really do - we've lost too many fitness studios in Philly recently. But I feel like I stepped off the train for a minute and it sped away and left me behind. So I'm going to have to explore other options that work better for me for where I am on my physical and mental fitness journey.
