Personalized Wellness Center

Fantastic experience: Britta..."In the last few months I’ve been doing FIT I’ve lost another 10 lbs, but more importantly I’m seeing my body change. Now not only am I losing weight but I’m gaining muscle, increasing my endurance, and gaining a new found confidence in myself. In my weight loss journey these last couple years PWC has played such a critical role – everyone I come into contact with is so supportive and encouraging, they really give me the confidence that I needed to push myself that extra mile."

Fantastic experience: Two weeks ago I was shopping for a new gym and I went into PWC. My plan wasn’t to sign up but just shop around. I was greeted by Mary who was super friendly and she showed me around. Mary did such a phenomenal job making me feel welcomed I signed up. I recently moved back to Akron after living in Arizona for ten years. I've been a member simultaneously at different gyms for various reasons. I must say Personalized Wellness Center holds up with the best of them. After being a member for two weeks at PWC and coming in at different times here is my sincere review. 1. PWC has a nutrition bar where they make fresh smoothies and offer supplements. (get a fresh smoothie after/before working out) 2. PWC is open 24/7 so you can work out at your convenience. 3.PWC has free weights,bicycles,treadmills,ellipticals, a track and a ton of machines. 4.PWC also has a daycare for kids,a rehabilitation center and also personal trainers. 5. PWC has a practical and reasonable monthly subscription 6.Mature crowd 7.Sauna I've been to gyms on the west coast were you pay $129 a month and gym's were you pay $19 a month. It's the same workout,whether you pay 10k for a rolex or ten dollars for a timex they both tell the same time. The more expensive gym's, yes did have newer equipment, fancier tv's, state of the art sound systems, big smoothie and supplement stores. At the end of the day your body & health transformation depends on YOU!! You have to go into the gym you have to lift the weights,you have to get on the treadmill and you have to want it. Typically not always but typically those big "franchised gyms' it's more of a social hour and people wearing too much cologne/perfume. That doesn't happen at PWC I highly recommend PWC it has everything a big franchise gym has but yet gives you the at home feel

Fantastic experience: Great gym, clean, well maintained equipment, friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of this gym for over 30 years, and it has had various owners. This owner is the best. If you want low cost exercise, you can get it here...if you want personalized training they have that too. The staff are clean and nice people. Good value.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Positive experience: A very mediocre gym. Cardio equipment and the resistance machines are starting to show their age. The free weight area is pretty crowded. Nobody seems to rerack anything during unstaffed hours. I would recommend unsubscribing from the mailing list. Matt and the staff like to constantly spam you via text and email with an inane newsletter pushing their personal training services. If you don't immediately fill our their surveys when they send it out they will hound you about it until you do. As you can tell I am grumpy and annoyed by it.

Fantastic experience: The PWC is a great place to work out with plenty of space and updated equipment. The staff is always accommodating and motivating, which has kept me coming back for the past six years. I couldn't be more pleased.

Fantastic experience: Fun place to workout, nice staff!

Fantastic experience: Never a wait for any of the machines...always a fun environment with music and I feel rejuvenated when I leave... We are very lucky to have this facility in the valley of West Akron

Fantastic experience: Everything you need to stay fit and healthy.

Positive experience: Local workout spot that provides nice cardio and weight lifting options. Only issue is that its a bit on the elderly side.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym with an amazing staff. There's a guy that works out here who looks like Link from Zelda.

Fantastic experience: Kim is an awesome trainer and has helped me transform my body. The people I work out with are great!

Fantastic experience: I've been working out here for over four years and I've never regretted my choice. I visited and tried out other gyms in the area but chose the Wellness Center (RP Fitness when I joined) because of the people. The management/employees have created an environment that is very conducive to long term engagement and success. It's a fairly large space and they offer just about any kind of equipment you could ask for. However, there are many gyms I visited with similar or better accommodations. The difference is the people. Since starting at RP Fitness years ago, I've invited friends and family to come and check it out and every single one of them joined and still works out here.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym! The staff are caring and motivated to help people. It's been the one gym that I've ever gotten consistent results from.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with 27|7 accommodation hours. The trainer are very knowledgable and helpful! I recommend PWC to anyone looking for very clean and friendly place to work out!

Fantastic experience: A clean well run gym Niki is the BEST Matt & Dave treat every one well In fact the staff is made up of all GOOD people

Fantastic experience: I am the typical yo yo dieter. I'm either all in or all out. My typical way to lose way is eat little and run. That gets boring. So i stopped running and started "bad" eating and you know the rest of the story. I had received an email from Matt offering for me to check out the program. This program appealed to me because of the accountability, nutritional guidance, variety in exercise, muscle gain, and no boredom. I used the 24 day challenge food guide to the letter. The greatest benefit was not just weight loss. It taught me what I could eat, recipes that are healthy, and how and when to eat. I now love spaghetti squash! Meeting with my personsl trainer each week and hearing her delight in my weight loss and increased strength was my greatest motivator. (My husband being so delighted was 2nd). The friendship and support of semi-private classes keep me motivated to keep coming and trying harder. I have lost 26 lbs. since mid August and have the goal of 14lbs. additional to achieve my life goal! I know with the continued support of PWC I will achieve that.

Fantastic experience: I have tried most of the gyms in the Akron / Cuyahoga Falls area, and there is not one gym or fitness center even close to PWC. In one year, I lost 15 pounds of fat and gained 10 pounds of muscle - this was when I was over 40 and thought it was no longer possible. I watched dozens of people transform themselves and become truly healthy for the long term. PWC teaches correct fitness and nutritional habits for people who want to change their lives forever. PWC trains my children for sports performance as well, which has helped them become elite athletes.

Fantastic experience: Nice gym and great staff! I left due to I received a better deal however if things change I will be back

Fantastic experience: The instructors use a variety of techniques to help us reach our goals whether it's strengthening or weight loss . If we aren't able to do a certain activity they show us an alternative . The instructors are topnotch !! Paulette

Fantastic experience: There is no finer place to exercise! The instructors and trainers are very knowledgeable -- and even better - they have the ability to make working fun ! This is not a gym for critical, elite snobbery.... there is no feeling of intimidation there. Everyone is encouraging and no one is judgmental. It's a comfortable environment -- with every level of intensity available....from Silver Sneakers for seniors to a very strenuous "boot camp" -- and everything in between.The goal is clearly customized to produce a workout appropriate for each client. Nikki and Kim are two of the finest trainers and instructors. .I don't know her name but I'm told that the woman who teaches yoga is also fantastic! Dave is so welcoming -- and Matt is conscientious and always meeting and exceeding the high level of customer expectations. Being in a silver sneaker class myself, I look forward to Monday, Wednesday and Friday sessions with people who have rapidly become friends. It really helps to keep me enthused about never missing a class if I can possibly make it ! Janis Seward, Akron
