Elite Health & Fitness Center

My boyfriend and I have been members for over a year and until recently we had no problems. The gym is nice and mostly clean. The front desk staff are OK, but sometimes rude. However, the real reason for my 3 star review is that my boyfriend’s keys were stolen from the locker room and the thief then broke into his car in the parking lot and stole his wallet (and charged $ 2,000+). Elite denied it happened, even after the thief CONFESSED to doing it. We haven’t seen any signs around the gym alerting members to what happened. My boyfriend and I are sad they do not stand behind their members and seriously considering switching gyms.

Elite Fitness in Stoughton has purchased Hub City and to supplement this purchase they have increased membership rates for the members that regularly spin. Effective November, rates increase to $ 80 a month, for me that’s an increase of 220%. There is no regard to longevity or corporate discount partnerships. After all as I was told, the end of the day, they are running a business.
Last night I ended my membership.
If you’re thinking of joining the gym, remember it’s just a business.

Horrible! A certified fitness instructor can physically slap you on the head in front of the entire class calling for attention. Customer service makes you wait on towels up to you being late for class, which may upset instructor, who pushes you to the last row even though there is a space in front. They can give you towel marked «RUG» in black marker on the inside without you noticing, when you point it out to the manager, she says «I am sorry, bu not to worry, it is just as clean as it had been washed with the rest of our towels» (!!!). Chances are you come to your favorite class only to discover the under-​performing uncertified (is it even legal?) instructor teaching the class, you don’t get half of workout expected. If you take your workout seriously and would like to be respected and taken a good care of, I suggest you take your business elsewhere.

I really like the variety of classes at Elite. I just joined a few months ago however right off the bat the personalities of the teachers shined through. They make the classes truly worthwhile. I just tried barre a few weeks ago and got hooked.

I have been going to fitness clubs for over 30 years, this is the best. Plenty of equipment, even during the busy 7 – 8 am morning hours. The staff is always friendly and seeming love their jobs as they are always so friendly. The parking lot is usually full as a result of the quality, but how can you fault them for that! Machines that fail are repaired promptly. The only gripe would be the claustrophobic mens locker room. Just a poor layout. However, it is kept as clean as a hospital. I enjoy this club, the staff and the other members. The owners are always there and it shows.

I’ve been a member of Elite for about a year and a half, and it’s a really great choice for a local gym.
PROS
— Great selection of equipment and classes. Enough cardio machines that I’ve never had to wait, even after work.
— Good group ex teachers, especially Ray.
— Consistent and professional staff. Other gyms I’ve belonged to have had a constantly revolving door. At Elite, it’s the same faces all the time, whether it’s behind the front desk or the trainers. And they’re very friendly. I think it says a lot about a business when they retain their staff.
— Indoor track, so if you get bored running or walking on a treadmill you can get bored walking or running in small circles instead.
— Sufficient locker & changing space in the locker room
— People pretty much leave you alone to do your workout. Not in an unfriendly way, just in the way that we’re all there for a purpose, and you won’t get bothered by lurking meatheads.
— Very affordable, fair price for the services they provide. You’re definitely getting your money’s worth here. (Well, assuming you actually use your membership!)
— Boot camp costs extra, but it’s an amazing workout.
CONS
— There’s not a lot of space if you want to do a plyometric workout or something that requires moving around a bit more, or if you want to use weights and an exercise ball or some sort of combo workout. It can be done, but I tend to feel like I’m in someone or something’s way.
— The parking situation isn’t great. It gets really crowded after work and you can be stuck parking far away, or in the dark and scary corners.
— They have kids’ fitness programs (which is nice for the kids) but when it’s 6:30 and they’re unleashed around the indoor track, you’re going to have to dodge some obstacles. The trainers keep them well controlled and mostly they’re out of the way, but it would be better if the programs were after school instead of at peak workout time.
Overall, Elite is a quality business that you can tell the owners really care about, and care about their members. It’s probably the best gym I’ve belonged to, especially considering the membership price.

Amazing locally owned Gym
As a member of this gym for two years I have watched this place grow while watch myself shrink down to my goal size.
First off I hate dirty gyms (see my review of LA Fitness) so I LOVE that every time I come here they are cleaning the locker room … Coz us guys a horrible gross stinky people and we need people to clean up after us; sad, but true.
The gym has really up to date equipment — including a bike where you can chase dragons — super cool! They have TV’s everywhere and a lot of the equipment has built in TV’s so you can watch «The Price is Right» while you run.
Breathe Deep… At Elite they have this huge fan and a number of wall mounted fans to keep the air moving so you don’t feel as though you are breathing in the sweat from the person next to you.
I also use a personal trainer — totally worth the extra money if you, like me, have no discipline. I set a goal 18 months ago and the results have been great. ((Thank you Rachel))
This gym is a great place with fair rates and up-​to-​date equipment.
What else could you be looking for?

This gym is first rate — a true gem. I’ve been going here for a little more than two months and I’ve had nothing but positive experiences. Every member of the staff I’ve encountered has been very friendly, polite, helpful, upbeat, and professional. The gym itself has consistently been immaculate and there is PLENTY and a very good variety of equipment — both cardio and weight training. I’ve never had to wait more than two minutes to use a piece of equipment due to the variety and the respectfulness of the other members. Come to think of it, I have yet to see a piece of equipment that’s out of commission like I have at other gyms. A tip of the hat to the management here — when you see a very well maintained establishment tended by a staff with great synergy, clearly they know how to run a good business. If there’s such a thing as a perfect gym, this is it — I can’t say enough good things about this gym.
