I just recently joined the Zoo Health Club in Derry and began training with Redwood trainer Frank. He knows exactly what i need as far as mobility and strength training go. He really matches my energy and I match his. Frank is extremely knowledgeable of all things health and fitness. I highly recommend him !

The gym has helped in a multitude of was for me! It’s clean, not too crowded and all the staff, including the redwood trainers, are really friendly and helpful.I am training with the redwood trainer Frank and seeing significant improvements. My mobility has improved significantly. He challenges me while understanding my limits so I don’t hurt myself.The kids place is great too! Ms. Alice watched my kid a few times a week and is so kind. My 19 month old feels very comfortable with her since she has a warm embrace about her.

Signed up a while ago but just started my personal training with Frank. He’s done a great job and super knowledgeable. It’s been a blast and I look forward to my Sunday mornings !

a great gym. 4.8 out of 5 . Only criticism I have is they should have a leg curl machine like planet fitness has (life fitness . Not the stupid one on the leg where your legs get stuck and feels like they're gonna snap after lifting heavy weight with that machine. The lying curl machine is very good, though. Also, they should have a standing calf machine like The Nashua one has.

I joined The Zoo in May and began with Frank P as my personal trainer in July. I have to say working with Frank has been a very enjoyable and rewarding experience. He has added different machines and exercises into my morning workouts and has challenged me to bring myself to a higher level of fitness. I know that I am getting in the best shape of my life and I owe that to Frank. Thank you!

I recently started with a new trainer Frank, and I must say I enjoy working with him. He has introduced me to a few new machines and shown me additional ways to get the maximum out of my training. Because of his expertise, I can fully understand the concentric and the eccentric training and alternative exercises to get the most benefit out of my workouts.

The price for joining this gym is ridiculously expensive. Not only do you have to pay a monthly fee of 40-70 dollars, you have to pay their enrollment & processing fees. For what I'll never know, it just isn't good enough to support the cost. Plenty of other places to join with better amenities & management that cares. Enter at your own risk.

I’m local to the area but active military and have used this gym 4 times now when I am back on leave. Every single time I’ve come here for about month-long periods over 4-5 years this place never disappoints me. There is plenty of equipment, it’s a 24 hour gym, and I’ve rarely ever noticed broken equipment, and if so, it’s not more than 1-2 days. I’m usually here in the 10pm-2am range so there’s barely anyone at the gym either. I would recommend this gym to anyone that’s just starting out and regulars. Dumbbells go up to 150 and there’s plenty of plates to go around.Most importantly, I want to point out that the gentleman that comes around midnight to clean the place does an impeccable job - the place is spotless.

Having been a loyal member of Zoo GYM for over five years, I am delighted to express my admiration for the personal touch that owner Julian brings to the gym. His genuine care and dedication are truly rare qualities that I deeply appreciate. I wholeheartedly recommend this hidden gem to anyone seeking exceptional classes, friendly staff, and impeccable cleanliness.

Gym is always a mess, good luck finding weights when it gets moderately busy. Best time to come is early morning or late night when the incompetent staff isn’t around!

I joined in November ‘22. I really like that it’s accessible 24 hours a day seven days a week. I also really like that the gym is always very clean with good equipment and amenities.

I had zero intention of signing up for any personal training today but Coach Cory is too good at what he does. One short session and I’m signed up for one on one sessions!

This gym is doing everything right. Within 15 min of signing up at the Zoo Health Club in Derry, Cory introduced himself and we scheduled a consultation. He asked ALL the right questions and was incredibly thorough- which was a relief considering my long history of injuries (12 knee surgeries and currently managing disc degeneration disease in c5/c6). We talked not only about fitness goals, but about sleep, nutrition, stress, injuries, etc. He‘s clearly done his research and LOVES what he does and that shows through the second you start talking with him. He’s super passionate about all of this and it’s contagious. He takes past and current injuries seriously and does any further research needed to ensure you’re moving forward with programming in a safe and effective way. I signed up for their 12 month personal training program within my first month there because it was a no brainer. Kim Orr is who they teamed me up with. She’s an amazing trainer who’s incredibly knowledgeable, motivating, and extremely cautious of form (so important). They’re handling everything from nutrition and macros, measurements and progress notes, monthly workout plans, injury assessments, supplementation, etc. As a mom of two young ones, getting help with nutrition is so important, especially if you’re going to be working out and seeking change and results. They make it easy for me. I still work with a physical therapist and he was thrilled with their programming. Psyched to be working with the team here for these next 12 months!Katie Cronin

Terrible... Signed up for a “free week” promotion deal. I told them I’d like to cancel before the week was done. They said I was all set, but continued to charge me $30 for the months I did not go. So I called and asked, can you please cancel my membership once again, they said yes sorry about that… But they continued to charge me again $30 each month for 6 months until I had to take matters into my own hands and cancel my credit card on them so that they could no longer charge me… Definitely scamming many people. After this I asked to get refund and printed proof of the phone call, but no refund was given, lol don’t sign up here guys.
