Fitness & Gyms near Folcroft, PA

“With a small parking lot and small facility, you might be able to socialize but you might be coming in just to work out and then leaving as in pretty much any place. This place is cash only and let's you pay lump sum and will waive enrollment fee if so. More places are starting to offer the lump sum option now instead of me having to ask for it. I was looking for a gym for one month but it is tough because either I am paying an enrollment fee AND one month which isn't worth it at all, or I pay by the class and some places have very limited hours. I could probably do Planet again or even Orange Theory but I was hoping to find a more local place. If this place was a closer commute for me, it would be worth it for me to sign up for a year. I want a self paced place since most places are either you get pushed and if you take a break or go too slow, you have to leave or are asked what is wrong with you. Everyone has different needs and wants. Or I do not have a budget for a personal trainer and some of the ones I have had at chain gyms are really particular about who they want to work with, and paying in full beforehand is not always enough sadly. I have a gym reimbursement fund but I have used it up for the year and that is a factor that is important to me too. At the end of the day, I understand that part of a gym experience (for me) is picking a place that will not overly stress me out. Accessibility and getting for what I paid's worth and all the peculiarities are important to me. You can't get 24-7 access unless you pay for a full year. This was probably the biggest clincher for me. Also as it is a small community atmosphere gym, holiday hours are not necessarily reflected on signs and website. You just have to ask or make it work. It is also cash only. 12/22/23 addition: When I first came to ask about enrollment options during hours, they were closed early for that and I got an announcement through the Ring bell to come back the next day, which thankfully I could. When I came back the next day, I was told a little story about how a "bum" came up one time just fiddling around with the door like nobody's business. Then, when the owner spoke through the Ring bell, the "bum" thought Jesus had spoken to him and he behaved himself after that! The joy of technology!! In my opinion, this is a good gym choice if you want a self paced workout and can pay in full for the year for the 24-7 access. Also, if you aren't looking for something that has a clean and polished look, which I don't need but I am open to either way, this is a good choice.”

“My husband and I joined this gym because it was around the corner from our condo in callowhill. I have to say, without a doubt, it was the best gym ever. This gym felt like an extension of our house, it was casual and had every piece of equipment you would need. I only like cardio and free weights and they had it all! I would recommend to anyone to become a member. Also, it was extremely affordable in an otherwise inflated economy. Thanks for keeping your prices fair! We moved out of Philly, but we will miss this gym!!”

“I started at Sonic Boom a little over a month ago & joining this gym is the best thing I ever did for myself! All of the coaches and members are supportive and push you to be the best version of yourself! Sonic Boom makes it easy to stay consistent with your workouts!”

“I absolutely love Jabz! The classes are a perfect balance of boxing, cardio and strength work. The instructors and community are super nice and motivating! Highly recommend!”

“Warhorse Barbell Club is the best gym in Philly! As someone who’s previously been a member to Equinox in NYC, and OTF in Philly, they don’t compare to WBC. I’m able to get the attention and one on one coaching I need in a safe, clean, and fun environment. I’m constantly learning and progressing, and have exceeded my goals I had initially joining. Caolan, Ahmad, and Ben are all personable, friendly, and always happy to answer any questions and provide feedback. I love being able to have autonomy with my work outs and progression while getting their input. Jaclyn is incredibly responsive, and quick to help with any questions regarding joining and membership. She’s created such an accepting environment, and I’d recommend Warhorse Barbell Club to anyone who is considering joining!”

“I have been a member at 610 for about 6 months and I am beyond impressed with the facilities, equipment and cleanliness of the space. More than a beautiful & clean gym, I love the supportive environment and diverse community. Their people from all ages and skill levels and everyone trains with absolutely no judgement here. My trainer constantly pushes me to become my strongest self and results don’t lie. In just this short time I have been able to increase my overall strength , stamina and technique. Best of all I have reached new personal records and set new goals! Whether you are a newbie or more advanced, there is a training solution at this gym for whatever your needs. I highly recommend you give it a try.”

“Jabz changed my workout life! From an accommodating range of class times, 7 days a week to daily workouts mapped out for me! I love working out but I'm not good at mapping a workout regimen fit for me. JABZ does that for me which makes working out more fun! The coaches are my favorite part of my workout! From music selection to coaching in a way that motivates each and everyone in the class, not to mention the constant encouragement to push myself to my limits! Don't worry if you don't get it or can't do a specific workout, the coaches will guide you to find a fit for you! Thank you Coaches for your constant support and motivation!”

“I was recently diagnosed with Lupus and I knew I needed to make a life change ASAP! I came across Main Line Total Fitness and called them and had the pleasure to speaking with Ed (owner). Immediately I knew this is where I belonged. Ed told me to come in that day and he along with Tray (Trainer) got me set up with a plan that was conducive to my condition and schedule. I’ve been here for two weeks and loss body fat and gained muscle which has decreased the inflammation in my body! I feel stronger and I feel supported here. This club cares about their people. I feel blessed to be here and I am excited to see my health journey into the new year.”

“Mass fitness is one of the only places I will miss now that I am leaving philadelphia. No gym I have ever been to had the variety of equipment this gym has. The gym fosters a sense of community that commercial gyms wish they could have. The owner steve and his employ of trainers are energetic, knowledgeable and friendly. I will miss this place”

“Ripped has provided such a motivating and positive environment to work out. I not only get stronger every class, but I look forward to them so much. Amazing teachers, amazing music, and an all around amazing experience.”

“I've been with Fight Shape for over 8 years and I couldn't be happier! I'm in the best shape of my life and stronger than I've ever been. The coaches are knowledgeable and friendly. They push you to work your hardest and you will see results. The other members are super friendly and welcoming. It doesn't matter what shape you are in - there is no judgment! I do it all - large group classes, small group training, and one on one training. They offer a great variety and I can always work a workout into my schedule. I highly recommend trying it out!”

“I’m coming up on 1 year at Loyalty, after working out at a commercial gym for 5 years. I hurt myself lifting in 2020 and needed a herniated disc removed. After it finally healed I gained a ton of weight and needed to workout again.In my 1 year at CrossFit Loyalty I’ve lost 40lbs and I’m stronger than I was before my injury.Justin, along with the other coaches, helped me work around my injuries and get me to where I’m at today.”

“I have been going to steelworks for a few months now and i have loved my experience so far. The coaches have all been great, the sense of community between the other gym goers has been amazing as well. I use to dread going to the gym and viewed it as a chore but since switching to Steelworks it’s been fresh and exciting. Everyday holds something different. They push you to be better than yesterday and use fun and creative different exercises. I have loved my experience so far and would recommend this place to anyone!”

“I’ve been a member for several years and keep coming back for the excellent experience. The classes are engaging, challenging, and worth every penny. Kasey does a great job working with you to help you find your best self.”

“The coaches and atmosphere at OBA make it such a pleasure to work out! Everyone at the gym is so welcoming, and the coaches take great care in making sure everyone understands the movements and is completing them safely! As someone newer to strength training when I first joined, the attentiveness of the coaches was greatly appreciated! I have been part of the gym for about a year now and would highly recommend OBA Colidr classes to anyone who is looking for a fun, effective workout regardless of fitness level!”

“Movement Rx Studio always offers challenging fitness classes, and great workouts! Christine does an awesome job of accommodating peoples’ injuries and ability levels. The atmosphere in her smaller studio is so much nicer than going to a big gym:)”

“CrossFit DelVal is my go to gym when I am in the area visiting family. It is a great gym with generous open gym hours, which I greatly appreciate. The staff is awesome and very accommodating. I highly recommend for anyone dropping in or someone looking for a place to regularly train.”

“LOVE this place and these people! Morning, daytime, evening and week-end classes are available to accommodate everyone. That was especially important to me, because I like to attend a 90 minute Bikram class, every single day and my schedule is very rocky! I find all of the instructors Chalise, Justin, Alana, Chris, Neil, accomplished, attentive and so approachable. I use modifications, because I have joint replacements and shoulder cuff surgeries.All of the staff are open and friendly .One of the co-ownwers, Andy, has asked the Focus community, to take walks with me, when I could not take classes and was healing. He expressed his warm wishes for me to heal and come back, because I had shoulder surgery. The community engaged, chimed in and have really helped out! Focus is inclusive in every way and members bring their children, as well as their parents. I feel very blessed to have connected with Focus Bryn Mawr!”

“Such a welcoming community and supportive environment for people at any part of their fitness journey. There are so many things I couldn’t do when I first started in 2020 that I can now!!! The coaches really care and believe in you and the entire community feels like a family. Everyone is supportive of each other, not just in the gym, but outside of it too.”

I really enjoyed the community of members who support and motivate each other. This is definitely a positive and welcoming gym that is perfect for both newbies and "gym rats".Modern Equipment: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The gym is equipped with state-of-the-art machinery that caters to all fitness levels. The modern equipment is not only sleek and visually appealing but also functional and well-maintained.In conclusion, if you're looking for more than just a place to break a sweat, this gym is the perfect fit.

“Love this class so much! It's a great way to keep your workout varied and, when taught by Cass, you're sure to find super unique and effective whole-body workouts led with enthusiasm, confidence, encouragement, and expertise!”

“Pleasant staff, clean facility and not very crowded when I'm there. I absolutely love the massage chairs. I'm a Massage Therapist and this feels like it was designed be one.”

“After a long day of work, it's easy to walk in the door and not have to think of what workout I am going to do. By not thinking it helps me mentally know I'm game for whatever workout is thrown my way. The coaches always make class energetic and fun the second we start to when we are done. I am always learning something new and being able to push myself more than I would myself. After work it may not be the easiest to get myself to the gym, but I know the people there hold me accountable and the vibes are always fun with main line!”

“Wenonah Boot Camp is amazing. The trainers are so supportive, the members welcoming and friendly. Taking that first step can seem scary and intimidating but there is no better place to land than here! No matter your fitness level every session is unique, challenging, and most of all rewarding.”

“I’ve been going to this studio for over a year now, and always have a great class! The front desk staff and all the coaches have been nothing but welcoming and supportive.”

“I have been a member of Legion Transformation Center for almost 6 years off and on. I recently completed a member challenge that is offered through the gym and had great results! The gym offers private training as well as group fitness classes. The coaches are great! Very knowledgeable and supportive and motivating. Initially I was intimidated but now I look forward to coming to classes. If you are on the fence about joining, reach out and try a class. You won’t regret it!”

“I absolutely love Solstice! The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and motivating. The workouts are intense but effective, and the community here is supportive and friendly. I've seen amazing progress in my fitness since joining. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get fit and have fun!”

“I thoroughly enjoy my workouts with Ryan. I like working out and being pushed and Ryan certainly does that. He isn’t an “in your face” kind of trainer and I appreciate that. He motivates you but doesn’t make you feel bad about yourself. Two thumbs up from me! Would highly recommend him!”

“I have been a member since opening day June 2018. I love coming here! I feel great after Gina’s class! She is a great instructor and also very patient. She has great techniques and I look forward to each class.

Stacey’s classes are never boring! She incorporates bands and weights into her workout, which I love! I definitely sweat in her class every time!!! Definitely 5 star class!!!

Abby’s classes are 5 stars as well! She includes everything from Barre to weights to bands. She also shows modifications to those who are a little physically impaired. I always feel great and well stretched when done her class. Definitely 5 stars!”

“Best gym of all time. I hold every other one to this. The owner is always updating equipment and making sure things are taken care of. Members lift heavy and know what they are talking about. If I ever have a question, need help with a lift or training advice I can find it easily. 10/10.”
