Sports & Fitness Edge

I’ve been a member of the Edge for most of the 10 years or so I’ve lived in Vermont.
I’ve recently started doing the spin classes 3+ times a week at the Essex location. The instructors are supportive, knowledgeable and varietal. The classes are genuinely fun. I haven’t tried the other classes yet but Body Pump looks good.
The gym is everything you’d expect. Equipment is generally in working order, and there is usually a PT available to answer questions.
The pool is the best in the area and not usually too busy. There is a slide, open to members 2 nights a week — you’ll want to avoid those times if you value your sanity! It can get busy and very loud during those times.
There is a climbing wall open two nights a week that offers a fun distraction from the norm, free for members.
If I have one complaint it’s that at certain times of year (winter mostly), the locker rooms get a little grimy and could use more frequent cleaning.
Overall membership is a very good value. Staff have been responsive to suggestions.
