My favorite thing about First Step Fitness is that you don't have to think about reps or sets or muscle groups. Mike and Amanda do all of the thinking for you. You just have to do what they say, and you end up with a full body workout every time you go.

This is the best gym I have ever joined!
Spotless, brand-new Technogym equipment. The music is just right: upbeat but not too loud with commercials blaring in your ears. I don't have to bring my iPod. The lighting isn't blinding you or heating up the place like a sauna. No one is trying to vacuum or mop the floor under you while you are running on the treadmill. There are purell dispensers. Good layout of equipment. You don't have to wait or sign up for a cardio machine. This is a great neighborhood gym- easy and convenient, like it should be

Mike the owner has put together a wonderful combination of training excellence, support, and camaraderie. The website's blog is fantastic and really covers a wide range of fitness goals. The First Step Fitness model is really personal training -- you don't just go to use the equipment. It is essentially set up as a class. They start with a warmup, then go over a specific skill. Then at the end a 20 min interval style workout that just smokes you. It's awesome. It can be scaled down so literally anyone can do it, so no matter how good (or bad) a shape you are in it will push you.

This is a great gym. My boyfriend and I joined this gym because it was close to our apartment and because it had really good reviews. Everyone who works at the gym is super nice.

Let's be honest, the relationship you have with your gym is very intimate. For one thing, it's a lot of interaction- people who check you in, people who teach classes, personal trainers running around, the various types of people that go to the gym, and of course, the sales people. I have run the gambit of megacorporation gyms that offer cheap memberships at regrettable gyms. This is the first gym where every interaction I have had with staff has been positive. Mostly, because I don't ever see them. Mike, the owner/manager of the gym is very friendly and when you see him on the floor will always say "Hi."

This gym is huge and has so much to offer! I've been a member for a few years at different locations and prefer this location over the others. The classes are great and plentiful! They offer a large variety so it's great for someone like me who hates working out alone and gets bored doing the same thing. Also, the gym is very clean. There are hand and equipment sanitizers everywhere. I think the cleaning staff do a pretty good job of cleaning up after the members who don't clean after themselves, and that is not something you can hold the gym accountable for. The staff is pretty good too. They are friendly and reliable when it comes to updating account info.

I've been overweight for a while now, my job keeps me in a chair most of the day so I was looking for a way to drop the extra pounds. I've tried the diets; I tried the DVDs and even spend a ridicules amount of money on gyms to no avail. So at the point I found First Step Fitness I was a little skeptical. You have a personal one on one trainer that focuses on you. I've had trainers in the past that go through the motions but at First Step Fitness I feel that I'm getting the attention I need. It's all done in a private training area just you and your trainer, no need to feel self conscious and no distractions.The trainers are fun and personable but don't let that fool you they will work you hard and that get results. In just 6 weeks I'm now able do stuff that I've not been able to do since I was in high school. I feel fitter I have more energy and I'm off the couch… giving them a try it will be the best decision you will ever make…
