They have the options for personal training, IsoPhit (which is intense and great), plus virtual participation in classes. Can't speak highly enough of this place. Definitely a hidden gem among all the other bigger outfits. Worth checking out if you're looking to improve conditioning and strength in a friendly environment.

Dancefit has been one of my favorite finds since July 2023. From the moment you walk in, the studio…read morefeels cozy, welcoming, and full of good energy. They offer a variety of classes and intensity levels like Zumba, Hipfit, Tone Zone, and more, so there's always something fun to choose from. The instructors are amazing! They call out the moves clearly, make classes easy to follow, and bring the best playlists that keep you motivated the entire time. What really sets Dancefit apart is the sense of community. They offer workshops and chances to be involved in community events, which makes it feel like a supportive space, not just a workout. The little details matter here too. The studio has water, lockers, and an overall comfortable setup. If you're looking for a fun way to get moving without it feeling like a chore, Dancefit is it. It's truly exercise in disguise.

I have been training with Tank for 2 years and have met all of my fitness goals thanks to his…read moreguidance. Before working with Tank, I was unable to stay consistent on any diet or fitness plan. He showed me how to make small, yet key changes that really worked for me and that no other trainer had mentioned to me before. I am still so impressed by how well he is able to customize my workouts! It makes working with him totally worth it! Unlike other trainers, Tank will work with me at my house or my gym. He has shown me the most effective exercises to do in both settings whether I have 20 minutes or an hour to workout. As a working mother with an incredibly hectic schedule, this flexibility is a huge plus for me. Tank is not only a knowledgeable and effective trainer and nutritionist; he is kind, patient, and has a great sense of humor. He goes above and beyond for his clients and truly wants them to succeed. I highly recommend Tank for all of your strength and performance needs.

I've been a member of CrossFit Manayunk (CFMY) for almost two years and the community here is…read moreunlike any other place I've ever experienced (and I've played on sports teams for most of my life!) Coach Paul is extremely knowledgeable and patient and Coach/Owner David Lee programs workouts that will align with your personal fitness goals (whether you want to get bigger, smaller, faster or stronger.) I've dropped in and competed at other CrossFit locations, but I can tell you that the community and energy that you will feel at CFMY is incomparable. Whether you're a Division I athlete, or just an average Joe that want's to be the healthiest you, all workouts have modifications so that you can avoid injury and get the most from your workout. I highly recommend CFMY to anyone that's looking to take their fitness to the next level. (Also, they frequently offer awesome deals on living social to try it out - so keep an eye out for their next promotion!)

I've been with CrossFit Manayunk for almost two years now. In the beginning, my form for all my…read morelifts were terrible, my numbers were low, and I was hitting a brick wall. I heard about CFMY from a friend so I decided to give their OnRamp class a try and it changed my life. Coach Paul and and Coach/Owner Dave are some of the most knowledgable people in the crossfit world. Dave's program makes you work hard and pushes you close to your limit so you're always working and sweating. Paul makes sure that our forms are correct. He values form over numbers any day of the week. They know that bad form leads to injuries so CFMY emphasizes form over anything else and that is when you know that you're at a good gym that cares about you. In addition, the CFMY community is one of the best there is. It's like a family that keeps pushing you to be the best that you can be. The comradery between the athletes and the coaches is seriously one of a kind and nothing comes close to it.

EVER MET A SWIM INSTRUCTOR THAT NEVER SWAM DURING YOUR LESSONS?…read more Looking for swim classes here? Do yourself a favor and skip to the next center! The swim instructor was hesitant to get in the water. At first I thought, "this is great.; she's sitting on the edge of the pool to see what I needed work on" Fast forward to the second class in and I was in disbelief. She actually NEVER got in the pool. Apparently getting her hair wet is a big no-no! Furthermore, the place is very messy. The building is old. I decided to take the plunge (no pun intended) since the price was reasonable but would not recommend this place for swim classes for adults.

I use this facility infrequently; and all I can say is the staff at this location are top notch…read more They are so friendly, respectful, and helpful. I've actually seen the woman at the front desk, Sheree I think her name is, greet everyone as they walk in. She even knows her member's names. Most places just sign you up then forget about you. There is also a young man who works behind the front desk who is very polite and helpful. The only reason I didn't give it five full stars is this facility does needs to be updated a little. Other than that they have everything there; fitness room, courts, pool, handball court, etc. Great place!

They have all old cracked yoga mats, a mix of lights that are flickering or no glass covering. There is only one stair climbing machine that is very old. A number of pieces of equipment had no signs or the adhesive left from where the sign once lived. I wanted to like this gym but yesh, you're going to charge me $70 for this? (Or whatever it was bc there was no document with the prices, it was all verbal.) High price and a shit box, not worth it. They really need to upgrade equipment or cut prices.

Two may be a bit generous for this sweaty little gym on Main Street. Sweat (so appropriately named)…read moreis depressing. There always seems to be a leak somewhere in the ceiling, there's always a TV, stationary bike, or treadmill on the fritz; and ever since opening the Pole Dancing studio (brilliant idea by the way) downstairs, which always seems empty, all of the equipment has been crammed onto one tiny floor. I'm basically paying (alot I may add) for convenience. I love the fact that I can walk to the gym and not hassle with the stress of parking and traffic. Some more positives: they have an amazing personal trainer on staff. Although working out with him felt like an hour long torture session, I was pleased to see that after a few months I could finally do more than a few girlie push ups. I can't recommend the personal trainer here enough. Additionally, although Sweat is filled with young Manayunk peeps, it somehow avoids feeling like a meat market (surprisingly so). So although I feel like I'm paying close to a fortune to work out here, perhaps Sweat isn't so bad..

Some of our classes are just a few people and the personalized instruction is something you can't get at most gyms without paying for personal training (now that's expensive). We were crossfit newbies and Jim went over the basis with us so we would be ready for class. Our first few weeks were tough and it continues to be but in just a short amount of time we can both feel the difference in our energy, stamina, and strength. Meg is an amazing coach and knows just how to push you to be your best. She cares about your success and health. When my bf hurt his back she ran to buy him a heat pack in the middle of class and sat by him for the rest of it. I can't say enough positive things about this box and am so happy we made the decision to start!
