I've been an Express Fitness member for over a decade. A previously great gym, I have grown…read morefrustrated with how the parent gym, Executive, seems eager to find ways to nickle and dime members, advertise disingenuously, and how staff attention has waned. Many gyms seem to have a cost model of a sign-up fee plus monthly charge. At New Year, to entice potential customers, the start-up fee is often waived. However, Express is the only gym I know which has started to carry this supplemental forward year after year. When is a $29.99/monthly fee really a $34.16 monthly fee? When they tack a hidden $50 "maintenance fee" onto your account at yearly renewal time. It's slimy fake advertising. If you have issues with credit card numbers getting stolen, Express will want to charge you for that, too. The second time my billing card was compromised and account number changed, Express issued a $35 charge for a bounced $24.99 charge (monthly fee at the time) against a closed card. This fee was $10 more than the actual charge that bounced! Do you want to use the top row lockers so you're not hunched over using the bottom row lockers? Express will want to charge you a rental fee for that, too. The parent gym, Executive, actually locks all the top row lockers so you're forced to use the bottom ones. "Hunch over for health?" In fairness, they're not yet all locked in Hooksett. A friend left Express in 2016 when they instituted the "maintenance fee" and speaks quite highly of his Planet Fitness membership at half the price. Staff there is always out and about cleaning up and organizing equipment, a refreshing change from the mess that sometimes greets late day visitors at Express. (Express also has at least one slob member who trims his beard and leaves the trimmings around the sink which may sit there for hours. This has gone on for years.) There are some pluses. There is new equipment starting in 2018. There is free childcare with ample toys. Care quality varies by employee, however: sometimes there is interactive child engagement, sometimes a student is busy doing homework while the TV provides entertainment. Regardless, I am very happy Express has a nut-free policy. If you care about building functional full-body strength and balance, doing things like barbell squats and dead-lifts are a key training component you can do at Express. Planet Fitness is all about machines so you'd miss those there. I used to love Express, now I sound like crotchety old man describing it. I still go because it's the closest place I can lift heavy weights once or twice a week. I try to work around the class schedule, since many group exercise instructors blast class music so it's louder than the ambient music in the rest of the gym. My "light" days are now at home with a doorway pull-up bar, Bowflex adjustable dumbbells, and an incline bench. A few small fixes, and some integrity in the billing office, would be all it would take to make Express great again.

The gym is spotless, looks great, the locker rooms are clean, there's a basketball court, smoothie bar, the price point is fantastic, parking is ample, and Lisa and Danielle are both incredibly nice. Each class is different each week so it's never boring, and every instructor seems intent on trying to help you achieve your goals. My only issue is that classes aren't sixty minutes, but instead forty-five. Otherwise, I wish I joined earlier, the place is amazing. Will miss it when I leave.

After finally giving into my fiance, I decided to join her one afternoon at "The Fort". Having 3…read moregym memberships already, I thought I had seen it all, from Planet Fitness to CrossFit. The Fort was an eye opener. Focused on group fitness, I've attended the yoga, TRX, bootcamp, and kickboxing classes. Every session is different, which keeps it from getting boring. Plus, the routines can be easily tailored to any experience level or ability. There is no sense of competition here. The entire vibe within the facility is extremely positive, and it shows through the passion of Lisa & Danielle as they lead the classes. It's great to see everyone supporting one another in this healthy environment. If you're an experienced fitness guru or a new to working out, The Fort will push you to new levels, leave you feeling great, and telling all your friends (while making new ones).

It's always a small class size and the owners quickly get to know everyone well beyond just your name. I go regularly for the surfset classes. Surfset was an invention I once saw on the show Shark Tank. I was delighted when the classes came to Manchester. The surf board is securely attached to stability balls. Every move you do requires stability and therefore your abs get a major workout. Every surfset class is a different routine, which keeps it interesting. You get strength training added in with the use of kettlebells, medicine balls, and hand weights. You get a great cardio workout from it as well. It's a lot wrapped up in a 50 minute workout and it's fun! You can reserve your board online up to 2 weeks in advance. There is a limit of 9 people per class so be sure to sign up. In the warmer months, Saturday morning surfset classes are often taught at a local park when the weather permits. I highly recommend giving it a try! Your first class is always free. Come a few minutes early so they can review some of the moves with you and you know what to expect. Bring water and a towel as you'll need them in this class! TI Fitness also has boot camp classes. If you are interested in running or becoming a better runner, they also have a variety of running programs to help your particular needs. They also have many children's fitness classes.
