City Fit Studio & Training

Colleen is my trainer at this location at she’s amazing! Her instruction is thorough and my form, strength and overall endurance has improved immensely. I can only get there maybe twice a week with my hectic schedule and my friends, family and colleagues notice a difference in how I carry myself and how my body is changing and getting slimmer and stronger. I’ve been going for a little over two months and I noticed that I engage my core a lot more in regular, every day activities (that is something I never could have said in my whole lifetime.) It’s amazing how your body has the memory to just start moving correctly and protecting itself from injury once you’ve trained it with the right movements!
The studio atmosphere is a great setup for someone just starting out doing a serious workout regimen. It can be an emotional rollercoaster and luckily I have a trainer who is so well versed in loads of different nutritional plans, dietary needs, etc. I’ve been a raw foodist, a vegan, a vegetarian, a meat eater, etc. Colleen knows the upsides and downsides to all of these and educates you along the way. She motivates with attainable fitness, lifestyle and food goals that really deliver lasting results. I’m stronger, more goal oriented and confident in my everyday life because of this experience. Highly recommended and a good value. Don’t waste your money on personal trainers at the big gyms. You’re better off investing in your future with an expert like Colleen for a way better return on your time, money, mental and physical investment.

I’ve been to this studio for several different classes/​sessions since they’ve been on ClassPass.
I first went for a barre class which I liked. I have since taken a couple barre classes and some of the more fitness-​y classes like Weekend Warrior and BLT. I really enjoyed both of them — good workouts and focused on strength and cardio. The studio space is nice, really clean, and there are little cubbies and stuff for you to use.
I have also been to Training Camp, which is a group workout in the main training space. It sounds intimidating, but it’s not! YOu should check it out! It starts with a group warm up, and it moves into some cardio and strength circuits, ending with cardio. We did a group relay type race last week.
Finally, I’ve done some training sessions that I’ve really, really loved with Colleen. The Thrive model is really balanced — with foam rolling, mobility, stretching etc at the beginning, and moving into various strength circuits that change daily and are modified and tailored to you by your trainer. (Training often occurs in small groups, but you are still getting a workout tailored to your level.) You do cardio at the end in the form of circuits, calisthenics, body weight stuff, and/​or the bike. Always changes and is hard! You can wear heart rate monitors, and I typically burn 500 – 600 calories in the hour (with the first 15 minutes or so being foam rolling, etc). It’s a really great workout! Looking forward to sticking around this place!

Try the hot barre burn class! It won the 2015 best of philly award for best new work out class and I totally get why: it’s yoga stretching meets Pilates core strengthening meets mat-​based arm-​pumping meets barre leg and butt-​burning. I took the class with Colleen and she will kick your butt all while making you think it’s just a friendly little get together.
The studio staff are great, friendly people! Suzie and Kellie have all the answers you need. The class schedule offers a mix of yoga, barre and Pilates classes at great times for a 9 – 5 or 6er, and I hear more classes may be on the way. Nice facility, small but homey, no showers but has a changing area, and nice upgrades like a heated studio and no real paper paperwork! Oh, and if you forget your hair tie, they keep a stash on the counter for you (cute, right?)

I signed up for the 3 class pass this new gym offered and when I saw they offered the option of barre classes I was immediately excited. The sign up process was seamless and Suzi who is the liaison at the gym was friendly and responsive.
I scheduled my first class was on a Monday for barre at 6:45 pm. I was expecting the barre I’m used to (small movements, high repetition and more of a sequence) the barre class was upbeat and the instructor was energetic and very friendly ! She offered corrections and modifications when needed. I personally did not like the class as I’m used to barre similar to barre method, pure barre etc. Basically everything taught in those classes is completely different than the style this gym uses. I have two classes in the pass and probably won’t sign up for anymore as I have to use the remaining two within 7 days .
The thrive part of the gym interests me but I feel like this could be more personal training. I will say that I felt like it would have been way out of my price range as they wanted me to try it and then they would sign me up. I spoke to a friend of a friend who actually does the thrive training sessions and she said it runs about 60.00 per session .
The barre classes just weren’t my style. If you don’t have a preference on barre and are open to variations def give it a try !

Brand new studio for barre, Pilates, yoga, Thrive personal training. Very friendly staff!

I would recommend this training studio to anyone. The trainers really work you and train to your ability. I lost 20 lbs already and I am in the best shape of my life! The two managers running the gym are awesome. Carmen signed me up and was very helpful and nice. He was one of the reasons why I joined here. The atmosphere is perfect not overly crowded like a regular gym. The staff is super nice and very helpful. Everyone should join this training studio!

Great trainers who are knowledgeable and motivating! Front desk is also pretty awesome !
