Fitness & Gyms near University City, MO

“I am a founding member (November 2018) at OTF Creve Coeur and have done over 1,000 workouts in that time. I love the continual challenge of the workouts themselves and the coaches are amazing, especially Erin, Katie, and Ryan who bring energy and also a level of personal interaction - they take the time to actually know you. I also love that OTF has added specific strength and tread classes, in addition to the 60 minute classes that hit both cardio and strength. And the front desk staff are caring and thoughtful!!This community is my home away from home?”

“I tried Burn for the first time earlier this year through a local STL Moms group during a special event they had - and that’s all it took to hook me! That first class was intense and so challenging in all the right ways. I quickly signed up for the promo they had going on and then after that the 12-month membership. I haven’t felt this good in years all because of Burn. Every class is different and challenging in its own way and my girls LOVE coming to class with me on Saturdays. The child watch is such an amazing perk of being a member! The trainers are incredible- they truly care about you and your health and wellness goals and push you in every class. And the general energy of the classes, even at 5:30 am, is awesome! Highly recommend Burn in Kirkwood to anyone who is looking to jumpstart their fitness - it’s a game changer!”

“Heath, Diontre, and their crew have a really well-balanced shindig going here. The classes have boxing as well as calisthenics and even yoga incorporated in them. Hitting a bag can be fun!”

“TruFusion offers a wonderful array of classes, everything from hot yoga to TRX. I love the variety, and the quality of classes is top tier as well. It's expensive, but you get what you paid for. And for those that need to shower after a morning workout and get ready for work, the facilities are wonderful. I'm so glad I signed up for this gym. I highly recommend giving them a try!”

“I had been a member of Anytime Fitness for 10 years, starting in Tennessee then relocating to Missouri. Zach is a great manager!! He really exceeded my expectations with handling some miscommunication while I was transferring to the Sappington location. I never had any issues contacting him and if there were ever any questions, he always got back to me in a timely manner. This gym is clean, affordable, and reliable! It was never too crowded and I never felt like I had to "fight" for equipment. As a female who works out in the early morning or late hour of the night, I always felt safe. Due to relocation, I am no longer a member but if not for the move, I would gladly continue my membership at this location.”

“I was apprehensive about deciding to join until I just kept going back. I felt that the bad knees and “temperamental” back would make it a waste of my money. Not so! The trainers have modifications for everything and are so patient. They never hesitate to help when I can’t quite manage a specific exercise. Definitely couldn’t do it without the amazing and knowledgeable trainers!”

“great crossfit gym and community! Everybody is so welcoming and nice! They offer lots of options to scale down the workout if you are intimidated by CrossFit! You truly leave this place happy :)”

“I can’t say enough good things about this gym. I’m relatively fit and for most of my adult life was self motivated to go to the gym and achieve my fitness goals. The pandemic definitely put a damper on that routine. I didn’t think I’d enjoy a structured workout class, but this has really exceeded my expectations. The staff really care about each and every client. They work with you based on any limitations or variations you need. The workouts are surprisingly well balanced to work on strength, cardio, and coordination. I’m also impressed by how well the workouts scale to accommodate all ages, fitness levels, and body types. After a few weeks of consistent workouts here, I feel stronger than I have in a long time.”

“The staff at the Creve Coeur location are the BEST! Front desk staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and the trainers are knowledgeable, attentive and full of energy!!!”

“I felt that my review of Lift-STL would be incomplete without a little backstory. Prior to joining Lift, I spent months on end crying in the parking lot after every workout (at a different gym,) largely because I felt stuck and helpless with my fitness journey. I was temporarily paralyzed from a rather severe herniated disc and was discouraged from movements since I was 16 years old. It scarred me and made me afraid of working out, given that I often walked out of gyms with more injuries than strength.Fast forward, I met with Trent at Lift and began sharing my multitudes of concerns regarding training and expressed that I needed some reassurance. After a thorough evaluation, we set our training plans in motion and I have not looked back ever since. It has been 10 months since I joined Lift and I could not be happier and prouder. Here's my well-marinated thought and review of Lift-STL, broken down in 4 essential criteria (in 4C's!) for someone who might find this useful:1. Competence -- Every trainer at Lift is knowledgeable and extremely generous in offering insights. There is no short cuts to how they train their clients. They also practice what they preach. Trent makes informed decisions with my training menu and has always been very intentional in what he incorporates into my training menu. For someone who has had traumatic experience with movements, knowing the why and how is crucial to me.2. Community -- When I'm not there, they notice it. When I make progress, they make it known to me. It's nice when you not only feel seen but also celebrated as a member of the gym. It has truly become my second home away from home (I'm a STL transplant and have moved across countries and cities). Lift is honestly one of the biggest reasons why I do not want to relocate to another state. This gym is top notch and by far my favorite (I've been a member of probably 10 gyms).3. Cost-efficiency -- This has been a concern for me in the past when I was first introduced to Lift. Having had bad experiences with both high and low end gym membership costs, I wasn't sure if the service was worth the money. I WAS WRONG. This is by far the most I have gotten out of my investment; the facility and equipments simply make sense and are conducive to a serious training regimen, and I've been steadily making progress both in strength and muscle gain. In the long term, this has saved me money and time. HIGH YIELD.4. Culture -- Their passion for fitness and their love for the community is so, so evident across social media, daily engagements, and grander initiatives like the Transformation Challenge. It creates an echo chamber for individuals who strive to be better every day and having the resource to do so. They meet you where you are and take you where you want to go.Final thought: Don't you think it sucks to fail at what you love? That was me a year ago. I loved lifting but I couldn't grow further on my own. Lift-STL helped me become who I want to be by offering their resources, expertise, and support so that I'm no longer alone in my quest for excellence.Thank you <3”

“When I moved to St. Louis, I did a grand tour of every CrossFit gym in the area. Gambit won my heart. The coaches and community are excellent, the space and equipment are well kept, and everyone is very inclusive and welcoming. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a gym”

“PLNK has been my favorite workout class and/or Pilates experience since I started practicing. The instructors are informative and patient, the facility is clean and modern, the workout is both fun and challenging and can also be adjusted as I get stronger, etc. Big fan of PLNK cwe - worth the price.”

“Orangetheory Fitness - Rock Hill, MO, creates a supportive environment for people at all stages of their fitness journey. The coaches and staff are welcoming and encouraging, without being pushy pr overbearing. The coaches play an excellent soundtrack for each class and expertly navigate us through a refreshing variety of routines on the rower, weight floor and treadmill. I am always so glad I got myself to a session at Orangethepry Fitness - Rock Hill, MO!”

“There’s a lot to love about Forward Fitness but the two main things are the coaches and the community.The coaches take an invested interest in each members goals and capabilities. They meet you where you are and set up plans with realistic movements and milestones to ensure success. There’s also a focus on whole person health and wellbeing, not just how heavy a kettlebell you can lift.The community of Forward Fitness members is amazing! No matter what class you’re taking, you’ll find yourself working out with positive, supportive and encouraging gym members cheering you on through your next accomplishment.If you’re looking for gym that will keep you coming back and meeting your goals, this is the one!”

“Everyone needs something different in their instructor but Jess is so good at teaching and helping clients understand how to pole for their body. The other instructors are lovely and a very friendly group of ladies attend. I think you should try it out.”

“CrossFit Achieve is amazing! From the first moment I walked through the door I was greeted with smiles and high fives! All the members, coaches, and the owner are so fun and welcoming!
The coaching is fantastic. The workouts are fun and designed for everyone. And everyone's energy is so positive!
Whether you're an experienced athlete or never set foot in a CrossFit gym before this is the place to go! You'll be taken care of, challenged, and have a great community of people to work out with.
100% recommend!”

“This is St. Louis’s premier Olympic weightlifting gym. The atmosphere in the gym is completely off the hook. One of the best gym’s in the country to drop into”

“Chuck is amazing! My husband and I did group personal training with Chuck for over a year and it really helped instill healthy habits and knowledge of how to use gym equipment. We always looked forward to our time with Chuck because no matter how early it was, he greeted us with high-vibe energy! Chuck is so knowledgable and truly "walks the walk." We'll always recommend Titanium Fitness!”

“Brentwood Barbell is a great gym and truly a unique place to train. They are the perfect blend of personalized strength programming AND coaching…all in a community class setting. All the coaches I have worked with have been professional, personable, motivating and fun! I’ve trained at several different gyms over the years, and in my experience, BB’s coaching on form and attention to detail is next level! They have helped me improve my strength at an accelerated rate. After starting my training at BB, I experienced a reoccurring knee injury, and within 3 weeks they worked me through it. (Also helping me achieve new personal gains!) I highly recommend Brentwood Barbell for anyone at any level!”

“I was in town visiting a friend and we stopped in for a yoga class. Everyone was very welcoming and nice. I'm not very flexible but the yoga class was great and they even explained easier poses for those not as advanced. After class everyone chatted for a couple minutes but it seems like a great environment to workout in and would definitely come back.”

“I'm so glad a friend recommended PSF to me. I've been coming here for a few months now and really enjoy the classes and the wide variety available. The community and instructors are also really great and encouraging!”

“My yoga instructor is amazing.Now im new at this but she shows me how to relax...breath. Then she stretches you showing you how to do the moves, she also tells you the muscles and areas you are working. I come home and feel so good. Thank you PaulaIWill be back even if it is 40 minutes to get to her”

“After talking with Lisa about needing her help to get my life back in order, she immediately sent me info that she had a Sunday morning workout. Needless to say, I wasn't sure I wanted get up and go at 8 am in -4F temperatures! I texted and said as much to Lisa. She immediately texted back that the roads were good. I decided that if she can communicate with me immediately, then I needed to go. I had a great workout and signed up immediately! I'm excited to get started!!❤️❤️❤️”

“I used to be of the mindset that gym memberships were too expensive for something I could do on my own. Well, I’ve been an unlimited member at Shred415 for over a year now, attending classes a minimum of 3 times per week, with no intention of stopping! I still train on my own the rest of the week, but this is a great complement to my other workouts. I love the tread intervals and can really see and feel the impact of the strength workouts. The classes are really challenging, the instructors are fantastic, and the time flies by. This is a great place to get an amazing workout!!”

“I'm so glad I've joined THIS WAY LADIES! I'm looking forward to gaining better balance, flexibility and strength.Everyone is very nice and encouraging. There are numerous cardio and weight machines. I highly recommend”

“Exceptional gym, ignore the old comment that was just for the old partner owner the new owner is by herself and the gym is so much better. And if the bad comments are new, thats just trolls dont listen to them go try it out for yourself before you trust their judgement”

“Exceptional place to workout. Steve is extremely knowledgeable; an excellent trainer. The vibe of this place certainly lives up to it's name as you will be motivated to put in Max Effort every workout. Very supportive atmosphere with the veterans offering assistance to the newbies. Highly recommended.”

“Awesome, comprehensive gym. This place is golden. They have a very modern approach to training and nutrition with top notch trainers, coaches, and nutritionists anyone can learn from.”

“Fuel has made such a positive impact for me over the past year— not only the physical changes which are noticeable, but mentally as well. I’m getting stronger, and feel confident that the Fuel team knows what they’re doing. Gretchen and Jeff create great custom programs and my trainer Natalie is knowledgeable and guides me through every workout. Highly recommend!”
