“I'm not the type of person who usually works out at a Planet Fitness, and I signed up for the Black Card for the tanning and gym access when I am out of town.
I'm a powerlifter, and I tend to like more "hardcore" gyms. Many meatheads who train hard like me don't usually find PF to be a welcoming place.
But, not only is this PF friendly to both meatheads and people who are new to fitness but their equipment is the best equipment I have seen in a PF location.
No, they don't have free weights, squat racks, and monolift, but that's not what PF is for. They do, however, have some of the newest Hammer Strength MTS machines. I actually prefer these to the traditional plate loaded Hammer Strength as they are selectorized and make it easy to do supersets quickly. Their machines are maintained well, and I can hardly remember any of them being out of service.
Everything here is very clean, and the staff is awesome.
The clientele is great too, and almost everyone who trains here observes good gym etiquette, which is something that I don't commonly see at other PF'S.
I'm so thankful it's close me.”

220 S 1st St, Tipp City“Visited for the first time with my friend from school. Fantastic environment if you’re looking to get some serious work done. Great staff, great equipment. Best gym I’ve been to in a long time! 10/10 recommend.”
“Space 3 is truly a great "third space" to add into your life. The classes are fun, challenging, and rewarding. The instructors push you to your best and make you feel a part of a community. I love it here!”

8230 Expansion Way, Dayton“I was on the hunt for a CrossFit gym, and this is the first gym where someone actually posted a photo of who I was speaking to when reaching out via text and regularly checked in with me after my trial classes. The coaches are very friendly as well, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Large, clean facility with a lot of equipment and space. Highly recommend!”
Open 24 hours
270 N Dixie Dr, Vandalia“I moved to Vandalia in 2022 and needed to find a new gym. I had been doing HIIT classes for about 4 to 5 years prior and wanted something different. I didn't enjoy the intense cardio but did enjoy lifting. I learned about a private strength training class in the morning with Mike Baker.I absolutely love it! In one year I was able to go from a 150lb deadlift to a 220lb deadlift. I also could only bench press about 65lbs and made it to 115lbs in less than a year.I found my place.”
6AM - 2PM 4 - 8PM
1321 Research Park Dr, Beavercreek“Wright Patterson (AFIT, NASIC) TDY members, if you need a place to workout, look no further... open gym or classes, all the equipment you need! Currently using a key FOB system so use when time allows. Showers and bathrooms available. Great gym!”
“Friendly and welcoming staff and members made up for any embarrassment I had not being great with choreographed workouts. It was fun. I just can’t dance or twerk!!!”
“They have the healthiest and yummiest menu around. I love the protein shakes and mega teas! The owner is nothing but amazing and makes you feel right at home and the inside is beyond beautiful. 10/10 all around!”

2080 Beaver Valley Rd, Beavercreek“I've been going for almost 4 months now, and it's the first time I've actually enjoyed exercise! Great for any fitness level. I had no real prior fitness experience, and I walked in off the couch. The coaches are absolutely amazing and work with you to modify the workouts in a way that is doable but still pushes you (this goes for those who are super fit and need something extra from the workout too). Everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and supportive. Randomly walking in to try a class 4 months ago was the best fitness decision I've ever made!”
“GDRA accepts all - I've been a member for years and love intro other's to this wonder sport. The boat house is easy to find and when on the water our little part of water has lot's of wild life to see and watch. There is a boat for anyone - you don't have to be a top athlete to row and there are member's here that have all level's of experience. Plus you don't need to own - there are many boat's that are club owned that you can row!”
“I’ve been a member for about a week and it’s been a great start. Equipment is in good condition and clean. When staffed, they are always cleaning and organizing. Can get busy but not too crowded.”
12AM - 9PM
1149 E Dayton Yellow Springs Rd, Fairborn“Great gym for the money, either $10 or $20 depending on which membership you choose. The extra $10 for the black card is well worth it for the hydro massage and guest pass. Equipment and facility are all fairly new and kept very clean, including the locker room and bathrooms. Staff is friendly. I like the leg machines better here than my primary gym. Only downside is the place can get VERY busy around 5-6pm. Otherwise there is plenty of equipment and space to get a good lift in. Cardio equipment and tv setup is comprehensive as well.”
4:30AM - 6:30PM
2484 N Fairfield Rd, Beavercreek“Beavercreek OTF is such a supportive environment to accomplish your fitness goals! The coaches and staff are enthusiastic, fun, and very knowledgeable! Excited to be part of this community :)”
“If you are looking for a great place for a Birthday Party this is it! We had a fantastic experience here for a 2nd graders party. The set up, tear down, and utensils were provided making it easy. The facility was so much fun for the kids. The coaches were very helpful and gave the kids a great time.”
“Had a great time at the center. I didn't use the gym but was in the back with the seniors. Great entertainment with card playing pool shooting and Domino's. Always have great conversations.”
5AM - 1:30PM 3:30 - 6:30PM
5126 S Co Rd 25A, Tipp City“A great friendly and welcoming place to begin your fitness journey, or even take your fitness to the next level! Great coaches and very informative, also provide scales for every workout/movement. Class times are broad so it’s very accommodating to make one throughout the day.”
“Have known Mark for years. I have even trained with him for a while. He knows what he is doing, and it is awesome to see what he is doing to help young people achieve their goals.”

6945 Homestretch Rd, Dayton“Dropped-in for two classes while traveling for work. Everyone was very welcoming and the coaches were great. Will definitely be dropping-in again in the future when in the area.”
“Best base gym I’ve ever been to. If you like open concept gyms and like to lift heavy… this is for you. It has 2 floors for weights/cardio, 3 Olympic lifting platforms, a spot of turf for the sled and tire lifts, plus much more. I’ll miss it dearly!”
“This place is decent. This location is a little small, and it's not as clean as Planet Fitness down the road. However, EBF doesn't make it official policy to endanger women by allowing men to use the women's locker and restroom facilities. So, EBF is definitely preferable to PF. The 3 year commitment is undesirable, but all the people who complain about it on Google and give them 1 stars ought to read what they sign before they sign. All things considered, EB Fitness is the best gym in the area.”
