Like Crossfit but without some of the Olympic movements. Tough workout but not to the point where you’ll get injured. The trainers don’t yell at you. Their gym is really spacious. Lots of workout times available too. Find specials on groupon. I enjoy meeting the the members.

I want to start by stating that I signed up using a Living Social 3 month membership. I was really looking forward to getting in shape and being a long time member of this gym. However, maybe due to using a Living Social discount they gave NO attention or assistance to me for the two weeks I was there. I only stayed two weeks because I could take it any more.
Basically what I received was a weigh in and an email with some exercises to follow and meals to make.
Here are the issues I experienced:
1. After my initial weigh in not one person ever ask me how it was going or if I need any assistance with anything.
2. They never even gave me a tour of the facilities or showed me how their work out equipment works.
3. They said the work out equipment was new, but they had old iphone connections and were not even connected to the T.V. audio.
4. The work out mats were deteriorating and smelled bad.
5. The worst thing is the men’s shower had no hot water. It doesn’t look like anyone uses the shower.
This place seems geared towards stay at home moms and dads that want to come in and work out together then go home to shower.
I must say if you are one of those people then this might be the place for you as most people working out here looked in great shape.
If you are a working professional that needs to get into shape and wants a clean and courteous staff I suggest you go elsewhere.

Best gym ever. I’ve been working out here for the last 7 years and nothing compares to them. Don’t come here if you don’t like to work hard!

This is the best gym around. Great trainers, especially Travis. JD is also great. Owner of the gym just an all around great guy. The trainers push you to hit the goals that you set. Great meal plans and just an all around great place to workout. If you are looking for a gym that pushes you to have success and meet your goals, Fitness MD is the place. Why wait they have a groupon going right now. Go see them and sign up!

I’m surprised to read some of the negative reviews here! Yes, there are contracts. So, if you choose to sign, then, that’s called a commitment. Also, you’re joining a gym and living life and you might get some injuries. That doesn’t mean you get special treatment and get to terminate early. The contract does state that if you wish to terminate, there will be fees and if you choose to cancel, then, you have to give 30 days notice in person. The daycare staff are nice, but don’t expect a preschool regimen or schedule, you’ll only be there for an hour. They have a kids fit camp that looks fantastic! Their equipment is clean. The staff is friendly. If you’re talkative, then, you’ll get talked to. If you’re quiet, like I am, they will give you your space, but they still help if you need alternative exercises or anything else, you just have to ask. The trainers are energetic and always encouraging! I truly love this gym. It is unique and have never encountered anything like it anywhere else. I love that I can show up for the same workout later in the evening, if I had an appointment or simply couldn’t make it at my regular time. I’ve only encountered positive energy here. Their workouts are tough, but you’ll feel like a million bucks when you’re done! If you’re ready to commit, then, this is the gym for you!

Great gym, horrible music.
Signed up a couple months ago and have been loving the workouts. Great change from a tradition gym. However, they play the worst music. The music pumping throughout the gym is usually really annoying trance music. Not the best to workout to.

The best workouts! Always something different! No brainwork needed! The best trainers! Trainers always pushing you to get better! No attitudes! Group workouts and everyone motivates! Highly recommend! The best gym in our area!!!

I’m really excited that I’ve joined Fitness MD! The vibe and the trainer I met with are Excellent! I really like that you have a fitness assessment first and held accountable by a trainer ensuring g that you stay on track to meet your personal goals. The investment in yourself is so worth it, but more so getting your «fitness on» in an upbeat atomosphere makes it even better!

I’ve been a member of Fitness MD for about 3 months now and can’t say enough good things about this gym! Fitness MD has truly become an integral part of my life (and my hubby’s). The staff is very personable and genuinely cares about helping you achieve your goals, whether they be weight loss, endurance training, etc. Thanks to the guidance of my FANTABULOUS trainer, Eric, I’ve lost over 13 lbs. so far and am amazingly stronger. Do the workouts kick my butt? Absolutely! With all exercises, the trainers have modifications to fit my needs (or limitations), which is awesome.

This is a nice fitness center. Their gym is pretty small, but more than enough for the current customers that they have. Most of them belong to the FITClub (or something like that). The activity can be very challenging, but it was fun! I went during a hot day, and it wasn’t a good experience because there were outside activities where we had to run all the way to the end of the street then come back, then go around the building.
The only thing why I didn’t go through the membership is because of
1. Commitment
2. Price.
My workplace is less than a minute away from here, so it’s pretty logical to consider this. The first day just made me overwhelmed.
I believe it’s $ 99 a month here if you subscribe yearly, then it’s $ 129 monthly. I might be wrong on the monthly figure.
I would suggest this place if you’re outgoing and very motivated. Some of the members encourage you! They will know your name and you will gain friends as well. I’m a shy person but I appreciate this. Maybe next time Fitness MD!

It’s been two years from my review and just wanted to give an update.
I had to quit my FitMD membership due to a move. I am now in the process of finding a new home gym and it is tough to find all that FitnessMD offered at the rate that they offered it.
Right now, I am looking at a gym that is $ 147/​month, no childcare and I have to reserve space to go to class. No drop-​in on a whim. Your FitMD membership pays for unlimited workouts, unlimited childcare (for an additional small fee) and your own personal trainer who keeps track of your goals and puts together a meal plan for you for far less than what I am looking to pay now for a membership that doesn’t even include childcare.
If you’re coming from a gym that was in the $ 20-​$ 50 monthly dues range, then of course, FitnessMD is pricey. But the value is phenomenal. If I could do the 45 min — hour commute (that’s just one way!) to keep my membership, I would.

This post was originally written in 2013 and has mysteriously disappeared from Unilocal.I feel it is important that it remains.
Do they have effective workouts? Yes. Do they have trainers who care? For the most part, yes… when you can keep up with the turn-​over. Do they care more about money than making things right? Big time YES. When I was paying and working out on a regular basis, this place was great. I got results and was happy with my membership. But when I developed tennis elbow (from here) and had to put my membership on hold everything went south. Read EVERY line of your contract. When you have to cancel with a «written notice»…they mean in person — not email. Hundreds of dollars lost. Buyer beware.

Joined in February after starting with a Groupon and could not be happier. I’ve always been active and have worked out at other gyms and at home but the workouts, the group setting, and the entire team have far exceeded my expectations and the training is more effective and challenging than anything I’ve done in the past. Jenny, Macy and the team up front, and the trainers in the gym, are very supportive and approachable and clearly focused on the optimal client experience. Its addicting and it works. If you’re looking for a new challenge, to take your health and fitness to another level, or to pull out of a rut, I highly recommend Fitness MD.

Be Aware!!! The lie about their cancelation policy to make you sign in the membership contract! They pretend to be a family gym and they have the worse customer service! I signed the gym for one month pay the fees and they haven’t canceled my membership until May!!! When I call Jenny which she’s the «owner girlfriend» and the gym manager start giving me hard time and BS lies about their policies! After I am keep explaining her that I left CA 3 months ago and even my trainer told her that I signed for 1 month only just to get in shape before I live town she charged me for this all time and kept with her nasty attitude.
This is not a place I would recommend you to do business with!

I recently completed a 3 day trial pass at Fitness MD while home for Spring Break. I attended the FitClub classes which are led by 3 – 5 trainers who guide you through a different workout each day. Are the classes difficult? Yes. Will you sweat a lot? Duh. Will you be sore? HELL yes. Will you eventually be able to run faster, lift heavier weights, feel great, etc? If you keep at it, there’s no way that you wouldn’t! I’m not going to lie, I wanted to kill myself during the workouts but I felt amazing afterwards. Maybe it was the feeling that I accomplished something (not dying) or maybe it was the crazy endorphin rush. Either way, Fitness MD provides challenging workouts in a fun and encouraging environment for individuals of all fitness levels.
What I think sets this gym apart from others is the dynamic between the Trainers and the members. The trainers know exactly when to push you harder and when to make adjustments to prevent injury. If you DO have a prior injury, they will modify the exercises to meet your individual needs. They’re all also really good at creating a fun atmosphere to keep everyone motivated and going. It’s hard to explain, but I guess you have to try it out to see what I mean. =]
Thank you Fitness MD. I wish I had more time to workout here on a more consistent basis. If you guys ever want to expand out to say… Glendale, Arizona within the next 2 years I will be your first customer. =]

Is it time to get in shape? This is the gym for you no matter what fitness level.
I’ve been slim most of my life with some working out, but after my 30^th birthday my metabolism slowed and I was at work all the time so I wasn’t working out as much as I used to. I became skinny fat. Still looked skinny under my clothes, but definitely started to get a gut.
I knew of two friends who both work out at Fitness MD and they were both in great shape, so I decided to join. It’s now been about six weeks and I love it. The cost is more than fair for what you get. It’s as if I have a personal trainer at every class, without having to pay the actual prices.
The workouts change everyday and you just need to show up and do whatever the trainers say. I feel healthier, look better and have met a lot of cool people.
So if you want something a little more organized when it comes to working out, definitely join Fitness MD.

This is a great place to work out. I used to come here two years ago at their different location and I do have to say this place is so much better. They still have great classes with a high-​intensity workout that will make you feel like you just ran a marathon every time you come here. Check them out and you won’t be disappointed. My only thing that I wish they had is a five minute cooldown of stretching to prevent injury.

Stay away! These guys are looking for your money, no interest in your success unless you become buddy buddy with one of the trainers.
I have been out of the country in Germany for a few months and they started billing me hard to use a gym when you are half way around the world.
«Macie forwarded your email about your account with us. I have attached your contract for your viewing as we require 30 days written notice to cancel and/​or make any adjustments to accounts. If you could please send over a cancellation notice with a signature I can cancel out your account. With our policy of 30days notice you will see another charge of $ 29 on the 15^th of this month. I apologize that this was not explained clearly when you called prior to your move and please let me know if you have any further questions.

Not only do they do little to help you, they want to bill you for services you could not possibly use! Just a sign of how much they care about their members.
I remember seeing similar comment a while back when I was looking for a place to workout, but a lot of people liked the place, so I gave it a try… My bad!
I don’t even have access to a cancellation form, so how do they expect me to send one of them.
I had sent an email to cancel, that would work in any reputable company, says a lot about this place.
Save your money and find a team that care about you and your success, not their pocketbook!

Fitness MD has finally moved to it’s new location!
So new that it smells like a new car! New equipment, new carpet, fresh paint, the works!!!
The gym section even expanded! It’s separated from the Fit Club sessions. More treadmills, more weights, more stair masters. Basically more of everything.
The Fit Club has more room too for their boot camp style workouts. This place isn’t cross fit folks! Let’s get that straight.
Best part is that they finally have showers in the bathrooms!!! Glad they finally made the move!
