This place is so bare bones that I'd rather make-do with my dumbbell set and bench at home. Don't get me wrong, they've got equipment to spare, but no towels, no soap or shampoo in the showers, no overnight lockers available, one water fountain (serving 4 floors), and they choose to clean the toilet/shower area during business hours without any announcement, just hanging a sign that says closed for cleaning. I walked in, changed my shirt, and I gave my notice to cancel my membership. The woman tramping around cleaning when I wanted to take my shower and dress was the last straw. I will have to rearrange things a bit in my apartment (it will be tight), but I will have a 15 second trip to the "gym", will be able to listen to my choice of music out loud, will have plenty of fresh water right at hand, and will enjoy a leisurely, private shower afterwards. If home exercise doesn't work out, there's a Planet Fitness not far away. I can't imagine it being lower-grade than this place, and it costs half as much to be a member.

I'm a member at this gym and have been for about 3 years. I love coming here! The staff is wonderful, the membership is affordable and I love that they have a pool.

My wife and I were called to Philadelphia for our first grandchild and to help my daughter, the soon to be the mother. I had had back surgery and was still recovering. I needed a place to loosen my lower back. There was a pool at Fitness works and I stopped by to see what the story was. We were greeted by "Daren" (my memory slipped) who gave us the tour and the full story. He asked me if I needed a whole lane or something else and I said I only need a short part of the lane. He said "no problem". I walked down from my daughter's house at 8 o'clock in the morning and spent a half hour doing my exercises in the short end of the pool. I was always greeted by Chip or DeAndre. Within a week I was on a chatting level with half a dozen other members, who asked if I needed help, it was offered. Couldn't have found a better place to exercise. When I asked about periodically coming back to Philadelphia to visit my daughter and grandson. DeAndre and Chip talked about it and said we could work out an acceptable program. "All you need is a pool for maybe a week every three or four months, we can handle it." So I'm looking forward to visiting my grandson, knowing where I can get my exercise.

This business makes potential employees pay up front for expensive clearances, insurance, and certifications, has them rearrange their work schedule to fit their needs, and then ghosts them, not returning emails and claiming they "got lost". This is all after assuring that they have a job after rounds of interviews in person and in-water, and after setting up their entire profile in the schedule and in their scheduling app. All after setting up their banking info to begin direct deposit payments for paychecks. Extremely unprofessional, poor communication, disorganized, and beyond hurtful behavior. Shows extreme lack of respect for experienced, qualified, and exemplary swim instructors and therefore does not bode well for their proficiency as teachers to children and families. Do not recommend.

Best not-so-little gym in South Philadelphia. Spotlessly clean always, excellent, state of the art equipment, awesome classes around the clock each da-sized pool, fabulous dressing rooms, bathrooms and showers, a beautiful Olympic= and the most wonderful staff -- helpful, friendly, a family in one word. Going there is the highlight of each of my days.

Love coming here. Ron is awesome. Class has enough heavy bags for everyone, and it is very welcoming. Always a great class and the most affordable kickboxing in the city. No reason to go to rumble when you have this on South st almost every day ???

The instructor was very knowledgeable and patient. It was a fun class but expect to work. Also great for those who have to take it easy from injuries, the instructor makes up a plan to fit your need. I went to the night class and was impressed ?

This is my favorite gym I've ever been a member of. Everyone is genuinely friendly, the year membership is very affordable, and classes are included in the fee so you can experiment with different classes without worrying about the cost. Glad I joined!

I wanted to find a different way to workout that would keep my attention and not get bored, and I can truly say coming to kickboxing classes at Red Condition Fitness has done that! I was a little intimidated at the thought of kickboxing because I had never done it before, but the instructors were very supportive and non-judgemental. The class is very high-energy and fun!

I first gave this gym a sub par review due to the high price for a gym I witnessed to be unkept and dirty. Since then I was contacted by the owner and she convinced me to come back and give it a second chance. The place was much cleaner and more organized. I commend the owner on being so personable and accommodating for her customers and business. It is still a bit pricey for me, but that's the only thing at this point keeping me from joining.

Even though this business has been hit hard by COVID (like many other small local businesses) they've been working hard to send frequent updates and offer online working classes live via their instructor's Instagram accounts. They're even putting memberships on hold to tack on extra months at the end of our year for no charge. They are handling this crisis so selflessly and deserve 5 stars and more!
