I'm not knowledgeable on belaying, routes, difficulties, etc. However, I am knowledgeable on good people and feeling welcomed. RCF is definitely a good place for newbies. The staff is always welcoming, the people climbing are always willing to help when they can, and it's just a good vibe all around. My only disgruntle (and it isn't much of one), is when I called to book my daughter's birthday party, they said they didn't do birthday parties. But there was a birthday party there lol. I'm going to scratch it off as maybe me lacking to disclose it, and as you can tell I won't knock a star off so I'm not upset about it, but know there is an ability to have it for kids lol. RCF, keep up the good work.

The staff was rude, people were leaving a lot of food behind so I can only assume it was mediocre at best. I recently lost 46 lbs. in three months and I worked SO HARD to do so; as a result I do NOT eat heavily late at night and dinner was not served until 8:30 PM. All I asked, and I asked nicely, was to take my entrée home. One waitress was nasty and said "no, we don't do that" but then a nice one said she would ask the chef, then returned and said the chef would wrap a meal for me. After my entire table was done eating and I was still waiting, a really snarky dude came by and told me, "we will wrap your dinner but we're busy so you will have to wait until everyone else is done." Half an hour later I got up, told the captain to forget it, and went home. Mind you, my friend who bought two tables paid $1,250 PER PERSON and this is how I was treated; really disgusting. It was so bad I will never support this charity again if the gala is hosted at this venue. I can't say enough about how awful an experience this was and I wish I could rate it NEGATIVE stars.

The staff is sooo friendly, everyone always knows my name when I walk in - it sounds cheesy but it really is like a small town or a family.

My trainer, Lauren was so supportive, encouraging, and amazing and kicked my butt!! Paula was an AMAZING spin teacher and it was so great walking by her office every day when I came in - I was always greeted with a smile and joyful hello!!!

My wife recently attempted to get out of her car in the parking lot and found it extremely slippery--unsafe to the point where she had to move her car to another area. Unfortunately, the conditions were just as bad throughout the lot. This is a basic safety issue that should not be overlooked. I reported the concern, expecting it would be taken seriously. Instead, her membership was canceled. While it was later reinstated, the initial response was surprising and, frankly, concerning. I then went to the facility to raise the issue directly with management. I approached the situation calmly, simply trying to point out that unsafe conditions in a parking lot could lead to someone getting hurt. The response I received was repeatedly being told to "get out," with no attempt to acknowledge or address the concern. At that point, it became clear that member safety and basic professionalism were not being handled the way they should be. I am no longer a member. I hope the business takes steps to address the parking lot conditions and improves how it responds to legitimate concerns in the future.

The mission there is to TEACH them how to swim and this you can tell. Sure they cried at first but after a few more sessions they quickly got out of that mode and are eager to attend. Joy and Samantha have been great and have a lot of patience. A few times the classes had to be rescheduled due to unforeseen issues but they are easy to make up.The classes are small. I listened to Joy's advice and sat where my youngest could not see me at first when he was crying and voila- the tears stopped. Now he can't wait for me to watch him swim. I'm glad I stuck to it even though they cried the whole time the first few session as both can't wait to jump in after a matter of times and have learned vital life skills.

What the heck is up with the Circus Colors in the bike room? Only 1 color on walls needed. Make it a lite color since there is this 1980's neon purple lights, which provides NO light! You can't see what numbers are on the bikes. Too many bikes in room. Remove a few will ya? Managers- wipe down the trim on the walls, get rid of circus colors and make sure machines are cleaned too! Even they have dust on them! Keep competitive, keep clean, so you can keep patrons!

This gym gets 2 stars because of their class selection and the cleanliness of the gym itself…read more Otherwise, save your money and go somewhere else. I moved to Danbury last summer from Westchester, and had previously belonged to New York Sports Club. When their spin schedule no longer fit with my work schedule, I decided to give Prime Time Fitness a try. My mother had recently joined, so I went with her as a guest to see if I liked it before joining. The spin classes are okay - not the greatest music selection and a lot of the bikes are unstable and feel very old. The yoga class was a complete joke. I've never in my life done yoga in a brightly lit room led by someone who seemed as though he was making up the sequences as he went along. It was more of a stretching/toning class coined as yoga. I figured I would still use the gym if only for the spin class. However, the class instructors don't pick the greatest music, which is a big problem for me. Moreover, there are no towels and no water fountains in this gym. I've never before seen that. For $70 a month, I expect much more. When I signed up, I told the person I met with that I was joining this gym primarily because there is no contract involved like there is at New York Sports Club. He didn't tell me at the time that there is, in fact, a stipulation that you need to make 12 payments before you are allowed to cancel, or else pay a $200 early termination fee. I didn't learn of this until I cancelled this week. Save your money and go somewhere else - don't use this gym until they improve their standards.

They get fined by Westchester County for violations of failure to pay their fees for pool usage. Want to see a disaster, if your a member, look inside the guard office. That is all you need to know about how this pool operates. It looks like a pigsty every day. Guards sit around on their phones while the club pays for a pool to break down: no heat numerous times a year, chemical levels so out of control they pool should be closed, but the books are not reliable or are fixed to deny the truth. They take a the most professional coach the club has seen in many years and passed to get a child to replace. If your child is a swimmer, stay away from this place. The board is a joke and is leading it to financial ruin and taking the only good aspect it had in swimming to the end of the rope.

I was looking for an alternative workout routine based on the fact I'm getting my hip replaced. I was introduced to JP and Salim (owners), and was blown away by their knowledge and friendly approach of the human body and fitness. They introduced me to Isophit training coupled with M.A.T. to prepare me for a speedier recovery from my surgery (Isophit), while relieving my constant pain (M.A.T.). I have been almost pain free while strengthening with a full body Isophit workout. I can't wait to come back post surgery and continue with M.A.T. and Isophit while finally getting back to high impact Red Zone training! Thank you, Salim and JP, you changed my life! Joe M.

I am always greeted warmly by all staff members and I have felt very welcomed since day 1. I found Results looking for ANYTHING to help with my very damaged back that has caused me pain and I have not slept comfortably for a solid 8 years. 1st and foremost Salim, (results trainer) took the time to thoroughly get detailed info about my injury. With the knowledge of what's going on with my body he told me what to expect week by week and he has been spot on. I decided to take the ISOPHIT classes 3 days a week (nutrition plan included) and after a few weeks I was able to mix in some REDZONE classes. It's been 8 years since I have really done any exercise and a bit over a month later, I sleep better then ever and have no more back pain. Results is AMAZING in every way. I don't usually review places unless they are exceptional and Results is!!! My very favorite part of Results is the size. Its personal and I never feel like a number in an overly crowded class where personal attention is void. I can't say enough.....
