It really pains me to write this review. I've been taking classes at RippedPHL since shortly after they 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. read more

RIPPED PHL - Trainers Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

See all

This was located on a third floor walkup in Rittenhouse. I was exhausted by the time I got to the top of the stairs, but I guess that is a good pre-workout to get you ready for the class. Malik was the instructor. For someone that wants to get into running I really think that this is a great motivation. Everyone is on treadmills and the intensity of the speed and workout varies during the workout. Each treadmill is state of the art and they have large vivid screens that were streaming images of streets of NYC. It was engaging to watch. You would alternate from the treadmill to the workout benches and on the benches there were different weights that you could use for activities like dead lifts and sumo squats. There was also a variety of stretching exercises. The workout room was a bit cramped and dark for my liking but maybe that is something that just takes some getting used to. read more

I have been going to ripped for 5 years and it does not get any easier! Ripped is the perfect mix of cardio and strength training. Ripped has made me love working out and has truly transformed my body! When I first started coming I was using the lightest weights and each year I've gotten stronger. All the instructors are so nice and the amazing vibes in class are the reasons I keep coming back. read more

I was a little scared on my first visit but the staff was helpful and the class was choose your own adventure and easy to follow. Don't get me wrong though, the class was hard. I do treadmill bootcamp classes regularly on peloton, but this class left me sore for days afterward. Katie is a fantastic teacher who provided clear instructions so I never felt lost. Katie made the time go by really fast so I barely had time to think about how much I hate jump squats. The classes let you challenge yourself instead of seeing where you rank. For anyone looking to try something new or get back into shape, i can't recommend this enough. I plan to go back when I am next in Philly. read more

This review is SO overdue. I've been a member at RippedPHL for over 4 years now and I'm rapidly approaching 500 classes at this place! To say I'm obsessed with the workouts and the staff is an understatement. I'm approaching 37 years old and I am in the best shape of my life. I used to be a cardio junkie - I would run for 10+ miles at a relaxed speed but never do any strength training. Ripped has made me realize that the key to the body I want is resistance training and short but VERY difficult running intervals (aka HIIT). I'm so happy with my body thanks to Ripped. I feel healthy and strong. All of the trainers are wonderful; they correct your form as needed and they NEVER EVER do anything but encourage you to do your best. I've been to gyms in the past where I felt like I was being judged or screamed at - but you will not find this at Ripped. Perhaps the best part is that it's locally owned :-) Katie keeps things fresh with monthly events and "challenges" that promote a little friendly competition amongst gym members. During COVID when gyms were closed, they didn't skip a beat and were able to provide online Zoom classes and socially-distanced outdoor classes throughout the city. I love everyone at Ripped and I truly feel like they are family! GO HERE. read more

By far the best workout class in Philadelphia. The entire staff is welcoming, accommodating, and kind. Whatever your fitness level, you are welcome here. 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. read more

Ripped PHL is sort of a cult: Katie is the (evil) leader, Malik and Alexander are her henchmen. You go in, you get tortured, you find religion. In 50 min, you get the complete HIIT experience. If you're dedicated to clean eating, the pounds melt off and your body gets jacked. Resistance is futile. read more

I love coming here! Although the first time I came here, it was a complimentary session through Yelp, my most recent time was via ClassPass. I took the exact same Abs and Butt class with Malik and felt like I was going to die in the best way. I rarely push myself to the limit I get to in this class, but by the end of it I can barely feel my legs, my lungs feel like they might leap through my throat, and I am one with the sweat all over my body. Mind you, I'm not exactly out of shape considering I skate 4 hours a week and train a bunch outside of that. But for some reason in that dark, music-bumping room with a bunch of strangers, I want to push myself to be better than what my brain says I can't do, and what my neighbor is doing next to me. It's a little spendy to come here regularly, but if you don't try it once, I don't think you can say that you've experienced the fitness scene in Philly. read more

I've been here a few times now and I have consistently had great work outs coming here. The location is in the heart of Rittenhouse, so if you're driving (like myself) be sure to plan for parking. The signage on the street is a little hard to see - it's a single door entry between different retail stores, and then the actual gym is on the third floor after entering through the door. As explained in other reviews, the work outs are split in 15 minute segments - incorporating cardio (treadmills) and strength training (floor exercises.) I like to start with the treadmills first to get my heart rate going. I feel most people start with the cardio first and then switch over to the strength exercises. The staff up front and the trainers are great. The check in process has always been seamless, and the trainers always have something new up their sleeves to keep the work out interesting. I appreciate the small class sizes as it allows for more attention from the trainers. They'll work the room during the exercises and give you tips on form - which of course is everything when it comes to strength training. There are specific classes focusing on different body areas, as well as "all out" classes to get a full body work out in. There are locker rooms and showers with complimentary soap and towels. There is a small seating area outside of the studio area to wait and stretch before in case you arrive early. Overall, the work outs push you and leave you good and sweaty. Fair warning though - leaving is much more of a task than coming in, the stairs are steep! Come on in and give them a try, you'll be ripped in no time! read more

This is one of the best HIIT classes I've ever taken. If you're looking to get your sweat on and be pushed to your limits, this is the place for you! The set up is a circuit between bench w/ weights and the treadmill. You'll spend approximately 15 min at each station, and the best part is that you can completely go at your own pace. The treadmills are prefitted with differing levels of difficulty and the lighting is dim enough that no one can really tell if you need to catch a breath (or two). There isn't a bad instructor in the group, but special shout out to Katie, who I felt was especially motivating. Loved her energy! If you're new to these classes, I would highly recommend you arrive 15-20 min early so you can get a tour and see how the facilities and the treadmills work. Ripped isn't necessarily beginner friendly, so I would also recommend going with a friend if you've never done a HIIT class before. Special note: I book these classes through class pass. read more

When they say it's a full body workout, they REALLY meant it!!! It's intense but the motivating instructors and the music really encourage you to keep going. I love how you can adjust it to your own level. read more

I've only been here twice but I LOVE this place and I don't even like working out!!! Both times I've come via class pass, but I'm seriously considering just registering through RippedPHL. The workouts are INTENSE. 15 mins on the treadmill, 15 mins for strength training and then back to the treadmill and back to strength training. I honestly love the workouts. It's really how you want to make it. If you're feeling tired, you can go a little slower, but if you're up for the challenge and follow the instructor to the point, you will definitely get a great workout. Similarly, there are three different options on the treadmill and you can go at your own pace but still get a good pump. The first time I went I was literally sore for 4 days after!!!!!! The staff is so friendly and the trainers are really motivating and encouraging. On top of that, they play a lot of pop/edm during the workouts that really keeps you going. If you're looking for a way to get fit, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out!!! read more

(to the tune of "Livin' la Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin) If you're into boutique fitness sleek stu...dios galore Then I feel a premonition, Ripped will get you on the floor. If you want a new sensation, Tired of just the same old class You should join the RIPPED PHL nation It'll knock you on your (_)(_). You'll want to take your shirt off, cuz it's soaked with so much sweat But when you think you're done with it You'll rush back soon, I bet. Ripped is gonna make you sweat - C'MON! Treadmills, lots of weights You're gonna get Ripped in Philly They will wear you out Running this fast feels silly You'll pant and gasp for breath, as you're working willy-nilly, But so dang glad you came Let's all get Ripped in PHILLY! I've taken I think four classes here. And, while this doesn't make me an expert by any means, I do think I understand the general concept of the studio. First of all, when you walk up the stairs (so many stairs, call this your warmup), you'll enter a clean studio with a sexy, sleek atmosphere. Red, white, and black are their colors and they let you know that immediately. To your left, the studio (where you're going to be sweating your face off). To your right, the locker rooms. These are pretty small, lockers lock up to keep your goodies safe, and big enough to hold a backpack, jacket, a tote. You know, the essentials. The workout itself: It's grueling. You can choose to be on the treadmill or ground first. If you choose treadmill (would recommend choosing treadmill), you're going to hit these cool "Woodway" treadmills at paces and inclines you get to watch on these little TV screens. The screens also are a nice touch, showing different scenes. The first time I went was a reddish canyon-looking setting, but the second was scenes from the Boston Marathon! Since I'm someone that will never ever run a marathon, this was pretty novel. Loved the pace and incline changes, made the 15 minute chunks go by like a breeze, and added a lot of variety (read: spice!) If you've got a heart rate monitor, that cues up to the treadmill and you can see your heart rate as you're running. Top of the line. The "floor" is where you hit the weights, but don't think you're off the cardio hook, yet. Mixed in with heavy balls, body bars, free weights, etc., you'll get some fun bonuses like burpees and tuck jumps! Lucky you. Then, just when you think you can't go any longer... back to the treadmill to repeat the whole cycle over again. The music is great, the showers are clean, and my only complaint is I can't afford to go more often. But lots of classes, and this is one of the few workouts that I would consider worth the price (you know, if you have that cash to spend.) read more

This place is amazing! If you like circuit type classes like Unite, you'll love this workout. For starters the facility is brand spanking new and clean. Small locker rooms of you want to lock up your stuff (blow dryers, deodorant hair ties too) or cubbies inside the work out space. 2 bathrooms and 3 large shower rooms equipped with fancy toiletries. Staff super friendly and walked me through a short tutorial of what to expect. They advertise special treadmills which means nothing to me but after using them they really do feel different than the usual treadmills (in a good way!) There is a tv screen in front of the treadmill that gives you options for easy medium hard (easy proved to be quite challenging for me!) and also simulates a running course somewhere in the US that makes it more interesting than looking at the wall. Each interval feels hard but doable and before you know it 15 min is over and time to hit the weights for 15min before repeating treadmill and weights again and bam 60 minutes is already finished! I hate the treadmill. I don't love running. But I didn't mind this treadmill workout at all...They switch up the focus of the weights daily so you don't exhaust any one bit of your body if you go frequently which I love. I'm looking forward to my next class! read more

RIPPED PHL - Small but fully stocked locker room - Trainers Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

See all

Everything about this place is fantastic. I've taken classes with several different trainers and they've all been great. Extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and motivating. They have a ton of classes available starting at 5am which is extremely convenient for me as I'm an early riser. The workouts are tough and really push you to new limits. Even when the classes are full, the trainers have always been attentive and focused on making sure that I maintain proper form. They've also helped me make adjustments during class if my knee or back is bothering me, so I've still been able to get a solid workout in even if I'm not 100%. It's clear that your safety, health, and well-being is their top priority. In addition to the regular classes, my wife and I did couples personal training with Hallie and they were equally as great. Hallie customized a workout plan for us based on what our specific goals were and she hit the nail right on the head! The workouts really targeted the areas we wanted to improve, and it helped us perform better in the classes. Highly highly highly recommend both Hallie and the personal training classes in general. In summary, I've tried several of the HIIT places in Philly and RippedPHL was by far the best in terms of workouts, staff, environment, and overall value. read more

This is hands-down my favorite workout class I've EVER taken. I lived in NYC for a year where I extensively explored the fitness scene there including Barry's Bootcamp, Tone House, Fhitness Room, Switch, Mile High Run Club...just to name a few. I could not wait to move back to Philly so I could return to RippedPhL. The staff and instructors are super friendly, approachable, and motivating. They remember your name and make you feel like family. As for the classes themselves, I love the breakdown of 4 intervals alternating between the treadmill and the floor/strength exercises over a 45 min or 60 min class. I have not been to a treadmill based class yet that is set up the way they are, and let me say, RippedPHl's setup makes a huge difference! They use top of the line Woodway treadmills and have a computer screen set up in front of each treadmill that clearly tells you the speed, incline, and time interval you should follow. You don't have to rely on listening to the instructor for cues (although they still guide you), and because of that, it allows for more interesting and challenging run programs. For the strength segments, the instructor stands on a stage and clearly demonstrates each move multiple times. The classes are easy to follow and easily modifiable to your skill level. Even though I've been going for over two years, I still find each class challenging, and I still get a great sweat each time I go. And most importantly, you get results! I've trained now for two marathons using Ripped during the week to supplement my weekend long runs, and it works! I'm stronger, faster, leaner than I've ever been. I can not say enough good things about RippedPHL! Love love love it. read more

I used to run. A lot. But age caught up with me and I traded my running shoes for yoga mats and free weights. But I still crave an intense workout here and there, so I laced up my old running shoes and sprinted to RIPPED PHL. If you're like most, you loathe treadmill running. However, the Woodway treadmills at this place *almost* make running bearable. I say almost because doing interval sprints, some with a hefty incline, are never something one looks forward to. But these treadmills, with their TV screens showcasing real runners and various pace options, are a gem. The class is divided into sections: 15 minutes of treadmill work and then weights (or vice-versa). I enjoyed the varied movements and the fact that I could pace myself while on the treadmill. Some of the weight exercises were a bit cooky for my liking, but I'm also used to doing Olympic weightlifting moves, so I may be a bit biased. I can definitely see myself adding this to my workout routine at least once a week. It's difficult to challenge myself to the intensity that RIPPED challenges me. If you're stuck in a rut with your workout routine, or just want to amp up your game, then be sure to check this place out. read more

Classpass Review: Talk about getting your butt kicked! That how I feel everytime I come, which is a good thing. You will come out feeling like you worked hard and made progress towards any fitness goals. Ripped is located on the 3rd floor of the building. It has 3 showers, 2 bathrooms, and a locker room. Staff is nice and the trainers are all great. If it's an hour class you will do 15 minutes on the treadmills, 15 minutes with floor exercises then repeat. If it's a 45 minute class, you do this in about 11/12 minute intervals. It a HIIT type of class, so you can expect lots of intensity and little breaks. Come ready with water, towels are provided. read more

RippedPHL is the best work out in the city. I have tried just about every gym at this point but keep coming back. It is a HIIT that really gets your heart rate up for the most calories burned. Favorite day and trainer is Katie for leg day Wednesdays! read more

Love this place! Feels like a community; feel really welcomed & like I'm growing in many ways! :)

Best workout ever! Literally I get my butt (and various other body parts) kicked every time! Came here the first time a few weeks ago at my good friend's urging, and judging by how ripped (*wink*) she is, it was an easy sell. I'm not a runner so I was surprised I even completed the first session without passing out because as the hour-long sesh includes 15 min of running x 2, punctuated by a 15 min weight lifting session. Depending on your chosen order of preference, one either does run-weights-run-weights, or weights-run-weights-run. Most people seemed to opt for the first, which I do too. Katie is very inspirational, she's so high energy and attentive to both groups' workout that she keeps you focused and engaged. She also makes an effort to remember our names so I can never slack off because I want to hear her say "yessss Tiffany" as much as possible when I'm pushing through the routines. I still have ways to go, especially in terms of my core strength but I'm already feeling a difference after 3 sessions. It's an amazing exercise either you're looking for a full body workout or body part focused sessions (i.e. some are specifically for abs/arms). Fyi, there are a few beginner packages which I'd highly encourage one to look into. read more

The best workout you can get! I've been going to Ripped for more than a year and I couldn't be happier. The results have been amazing and I have never felt better. Trainers are great, always ready to answer questions and help you achieving your goals. Plus they are very fun! The class environment is super positive, and not only you get the chance to do a great workout but also to meet super nice people. Plus you can really go at your pace and improve day by day, and because of the way the class is organized time flies! Go get those 50 min of workout there and you will not regret it:) read more

Look, I had a good experience there months ago when I took classes. The trainers created safe, diverse, challenging workouts. My issue is with changing their policies regarding pricing without notifying their client base, creating second-class clients with those policies, making a huge fuss about it in front of the entire class when I asked them to honor their original policy when no one had notified me of the change, and then insisting I do things that are unsafe for my body. No fitness instructor, no matter how well-trained, is the sole arbiter of what is safe for a client. Clients decide what is right for their body. The client should NEVER have to defend themselves. I've been an instructor for 17 years and I would NEVER insist a client do something they felt was unsafe for them. I've also been a business owner, and if I changed my policy without notifying my client, I would expect to honor my original policy as a courtesy to said client until such time as they were notified, and they could choose whether or not to continue to use my service. read more

Absolutely LOVE Ripped! I first started here in the summer, I tried out their special summer unlimited introductory course. It was the perfect deal to truly get the opportunity to check out their classes without paying the full monthly price. I was super pleased with the classes and I personally got to meet Katie, who was awesome with everything! I can't wait to sign back up this January (school took over my life so I had to take a break). The classes consist of 4, 15-minute intervals. You switch between conditioning (on the treadmill) and strength (on the floor/bench). I like to start on the treadmill and end on the floor because, 1) I walk out less sweaty (if I am not using one of their complimentary showers w/ shampoo & condition) and 2) starting on the treadmill really gets my adrenaline pumping. Every day has a specific muscle group you are working in the "strength" section, unless it is "full body." They also have Express workouts that are 45 minutes total, usually during lunch times, but you can check their class schedule online to confirm! The treadmill portion is awesome and can be very challenging. A lot of interval running, as well as increased and decreased inclines. They have 3 set options you can look at to help gauge what speed you should be going at, but ultimately the choice is yours. Also, I loved the 30 second or 60 second "break" in the running session it was the ultimate goal! I tore my ACL (exactly 7 years ago yesterday) and usually HATE running on the treadmill, but the treadmills Ripped have (woodway) are absolutely amazing. I seriously enjoy running on them. The strength portion I love too. The trainers walk around to ensure you are doing each exercise correctly. Not many people properly "lift" which often causes injuries. I only know this from playing basketball in college and our personal trainers being adamant about our form. Form means more than the weight you are lifting. The strength portion also includes push-ups, bur-pees, etc. NEW! alert, I recently received their newsletter and it looks like they are introducing Ripped Recovery, which is the treadmill and yoga, or strength and yoga. 20 min tread or 20 min strength and 25 min yoga. Cannot wait to check this class out! Overall, The entire atmosphere of this place is great. You get a great workout in, while jamming out to music, and the time truly flies by. Isn't that what we all want in a workout? for it to be over before we even notice AND to truly be wiped out and feel the results the next day!?! Writing this review is actually getting me excited to go to a class! The place itself: The location is great, the locker room has blow dryers, deodorant, straighteners. They provide towels for in class and towels for the shower. The 3 showers have shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in them. They also sell water on the spot and workout clothes as well. Love how new and fresh it is! read more

I've been wanting to incorporate more strength training into my workouts and lift some heavier weights, and Ripped has been a great discovery for me! As someone who hates running, I was apprehensive about being on a treadmill 50% of the time, but I actually kind of enjoy it! Here are my highlights: Running -Woodway treadmills - I'm no aficionado, but I do think they feel a little better to run on - easier on the joints -TV screens - 3 options that tell you exactly what speed and incline to use. I like this so that I don't have to try and listen for the instructor to tell me. Bonus: it provides a timer so you know exactly how long you need to be crushing it at high speeds. -No one is looking at anyone else, because we're all focused on running through the streets of some CA city Strength -Everyone has their own bench with weights already underneath. I love this because if I start an exercise and my weights are too heavy or light, it's an easy switch. I don't have to go to the other side of the room to get additional weights -The instructor demos the moves for you, so you can actually see how to do it. The person at the desk will tell you which spot to go in, and if they see that you are new, they'll put you in a good spot to see the instructor. Other -They have a few separate shower rooms to get ready in the morning, with what looks like plenty of amenities to get ready in the morning. The shower rooms are separate from the locker area, so I'm curious to see what mornings are like, if there is a big hold up while people get dressed in the shower rooms before doing hair/makeup in the locker room. -Vibe - I like the club atmosphere and the music, it definitely gets me pumped up to workout. I also really like that it doesn't feel competitive. Everyone is focused on their own TV screens and not looking around. You can push yourself as much as you like. Overall, great studio, and I'm looking forward to making it a regular part of my routine! read more

Best gym I've ever belonged to!! Ripped PHL offers not only a great group workout but the friendliest, warmest most motivating staff. They take the time to know each of their clients individually and always welcome you with a warm hello. This gym felt like a home away from home for me during the one year I spent in Philly. Not to mention it kept me in shape! 10/10!!! read more

I have recently started personal training with Hallie Murphy. She is an extraordinary professional who has a lot of knowledge and experience. I look forward to my future sessions with her. read more

These people are the REAL DEAL. I had the privilege of working with them for an entire summer and I couldn't be more grateful. If you haven't met these two driven people yet (Charbel and Katie), you need to take the time to do so, because you WILL NOT regret it. Their business model and values are those of which that need to be replicated everywhere. Their class style is a butt whooping you won't forget. They have 1 hour classes which consists of alternating between 15 minutes of weight training/body weight exercises and 15 minutes of cardio, and repeat! They have really fun energetic classes with great workout music and knowledgeable trainers. Try to go to Katie or Charbel's classes if you can as they are the geniuses behind this place and you are likely to get the full experience. There are locker rooms to store your stuff, bathrooms and showers available as well. They have class times all day from 6am to 8pm so you're likely to find something that fits your schedule. They even do express workouts during lunch which are 45 mins. You can try your first class free which is worth at least stopping in for. You most likely have not worked out like this before and will be in for a treat. read more

I just completed workout session #200 which spanned the last 15 months since my return to Philadelphia. Ripped PHL is a great - knowledgeable and professional group of instructors, committed clients and wonderful customer service by the administrative staff. The workout sessions provide a challenging workout. Thanks to the staff, my fitness has improved significantly over the 200 sessions. Ripped PHL is a place for one who is serious about physical fitness, wants professional trainers and a commnity of like-minded people. As an aside, the studio facilities are excellent, including two pristine shower rooms and towels, important for those who want to exercise and be ready for the rest of the day without having to go home and change. read more

I found them to be unwelcoming. I signed up through Class Pass, and they turned me away for my first class once I arrived. The reason provided by the front desk is that there was a technical issue with the sign up process; a silly red tape issue that their system was not intelligent enough to overcome. I will not be going back. Something also smelled bad on the inside, not just sweaty workout bad either. read more

I love how positive and supportive the instructors are. Even in a class setting, they still focus enough on you to make sure your form is correct and you're not hurting yourself. The classes are designed to give you a great workout with 15 min intervals of strength training and cardio. Staff are friendly. Music is great! It's rare I find a gym that I have stayed at for longer than a couple months. I've been at this gym for 2 years now! read more

Ripped PHL is the best place to get a good sweat in while having a blast! The music is great & the trainers hype you up & motivate you to push yourself during the 45 minute workouts. A great mix of cardio / abs & weight lifting !! read more

Big fan of these classes - the structure and execution! Even when it's a specific day (ie leg day) come prepared for a full body workout! I always leave feeling accomplished. Thanks RIPPEDPHL! read more

Fun, fun and fun. I was in Philly for 24 hours. They do intense interval training workout with treadmill, weights and abs. A lot of sweat, and a great feeling at the end of it read more

After moving to Philly, it took me awhile to figure out which gym to go to and which was for me. The first class I took here I knew I would be coming back for more. The environment and atmosphere is so positive that it makes it easy to workout and get the best effort in.

RippedPHL is the best around! The trainers are all amazing and motivating and is one of the best workout you can get. They did an amazing job through COVID giving you options from zoom workouts, OnDemand, Outdoor to finally opening the studio in a way you can feel safe. When the pandemic hit they gave me the ability to still continue to focus on my fitness goals! Thank you to all of the hard work everyone at the studio has put in through this! read more

I love Ripped! I have been coming here around 4 or 5 days a week for over a year. The workout is just as challenging as the day I started. The facility is clean and there are a decent amount of showers that have towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. All of the instructors are motivating and great at what they do. The front staff is always friendly and accommodating. I can't imagine enjoying another workout as much as I enjoy Ripped. read more

I signed up for the all strength option because I am not a fan of running and wanted to try out the workout. That was a mistake. If you choose all strength, you repeat the same exercises twice in a row while the other participants switch between running and strength. I was exhausted, not in a good way, at the end and woke up the next morning with a pain in my neck and shoulder. I am now in physical therapy because of this pain (which did not go away and only got worse). I wish going in that I had known that there wouldn't be any variety and that I would be performing the same set of exercises twice through as I think that I may have modified them and may not have injured myself in the process. read more
