Hi David! Thanks so much! You’ve been hard at work since 2016 to make Fitness you match our vision inside outside and for the community. Work isn’t done yet, but we’re almost there! Matt P. co-Owner FitnessU
Fantastic experience: Tony did a great job of explaining the personal training program to me and giving me an overall view of the programs offered. He was easy to talk to and get a hold of when I had questions. His enthusiasm for his job and FitnessU gave me a very positive impression and I was very excited to start my training there. Josh has been excellent to train with. He challenges me and makes me want to work harder. The gym is clean and not crowded and the atmosphere isn’t intimidating at all.

Thank you for your review, James! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic experience: Its a very nice facility with up to date equipment and overall service and cleanliness is great. Some of the seasoned members could learn to be a bit more courteous and understanding of newer members however this is a reflection of the individuals not the overall place. I would recommend coming here.
Thank you for your review, Patrick! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: I have been at Fitness U for over 3 years. Wonderful place. Friendly, professional, good equipment and clean. Would recommend for young and old
Thank you so much for your review, Patti!
Negative experience: Money hungry for sure! My trainer was nice but system wise the gym is terrible when you sign in you don’t read the papers in person. You just sign off the electronic pad and then they expect you when you cancel things you know all of it it’s seriously a specific way of tricking people and they Force you to pay even after you canceled The contract by signing but they chose they day after my payment date so I can pay for the new month I have paid in total for two months of unused training session along with a 3 months gym member. Keep in mind, they force you to become a member in order for you to get the training session, but they do not elaborate on this when you start. Erie worst gym.
Fantastic experience: FitnessU has the amenities I look for at a gym like swimming pool and sauna. Group fitness schedule has enough strength and cardio classes to get and stay in shape. Month-to-month membership option works perfect for my travels. I recommend everyone to check it out!
Thank you for your review, Olga!
Fantastic experience: Fitness U is my jam. Sure other flashier gyms may come along with cheaper membership rates. Leave those for the high school kids who are there to socialize. And of course there will always be gyms for the folks with muscles on muscles on muscles. This gym is some where in the middle. A gym for the rest of us. From the new comer, fresh to the fitness game just trying to slim down to the seasoned, active athlete looking to build muscle, this gym welcomes all and treats you like you belong.
Thank you for your review and your kind words, Kody! We are thankful to have you as part of the family!

Thank you so much for your review, Nurse Hunter! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic experience: Me? At a gym? Yes! And all because of Conrad Woods being my personal trainer. Conrad is a very talented guy. He is helping me in a million ways. FitnessU is a great place, clean, great machines and very friendly and even kind people. And, very knowledgeable trainers.
Thank you for your words, Maria! We are proud to have you as a member!

Fantastic experience: Great Zumba class, first time I took it, gave me a good workout without killing me!
Thank you for your review, Ellen!
Negative experience: Ran by money hungry people. Stay away unless you want to get scammed.
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym. It was recommended to me by a close friend that has been going for over 10 years. I had been going to a franchise gym for roughly two months before I made the transition so I was still somewhat new to the scene. I made the decision to try out the personal training and got set up with Josh. I look forward to our sessions every week and he has helped me make some incredible progress! My favorite thing about this gym is the community. The staff is absolutely wonderful as they are always welcoming members with a smile and are extremely helpful. The members themselves are approachable and very kind. I very much recommend this gym to anyone looking for a true community.
Hi, Emma! Thank you for your review! You’ve made awesome progress so far! Thank you for being a member of our awesome community! We’re proud to be part of your fitness journey!
Fantastic experience: This is a great gym to work out in. They have plenty of machines and weights for everyone. The pool and hot tub are well taken care of. It's a huge plus when most gyms in Erie won't pay for either. They also have a dry sauna for those that like the heat. I would recommend this gym over any other in Erie.
Thank you do your review, Bravik
Fantastic experience: Fitness U is the best fitness center in Erie,PA Hands down. very clean environment, state of the art equipment, knowledgeable and friendly staff. You can’t beat it for the price.
Thanks very much! We’re proud of where we’ve brought the facility and love our members. Our entire staff is committed to the facility and are constantly improving. Like our past 10-years of progress, we will always continue to modernizing our training tools and updating the facility. Reviews like yours give us such satisfaction! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Erie. I absolutely love it there
Thank you for your review, Rick!
Negative experience: Fitnessu's gym is dated and equipment is outdated. There's not much variety in equipment, causing wait time for machines. The smell of chlorine throughout the gym fumigates the aging locker room, I guess?
Hello Denton. Yes, we know that the club is not the newest. We have an excellent track record of well working equipment and the friendliest staff you’ll find anywhere. We’re proud that FitnessU & iRock Fitness is an outlet for over 3,000 members and work hard to serve them with excellence every day. -Locker rooms have been updated with new flooring and benches. -Strength Equipment is new from Hoist -New Indoor Turf for functional training -Excellent Strength and power area fully equipped with full HD power racks from Hammer Strength. We hope someday to earn your trust.

Thank you for your review, Vlad!
Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Great staff and childcare!
Thank you for your kind review, Celeste!
Negative experience: Be careful dealing with fitness u. They scam you out of money if you ever try to leave this place. I've never had to fill out an application to leave a place.
Hi, Ken! We are sorry you feel this way. Per our cancellation policy, any member no longer under any sort of commitment, with no outstanding balance, can cancel at any time with a 30-day notice. No penalty or added fees! I hope this helps dispel your concerns!
Fantastic experience: Clean gym, awesome crowd,and a great place to get your fitness goals in check!!
Thank you for your review, Michael! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Negative experience: Absolutely would not get a membership here ever again. Owners are terribly money hungry and the staff here is unprofessional. This gym has potential but not under the current ownership.
Hi, Deborah. We are sorry to hear you feel this way. If you are willing, we would love to have you give us a call at 814-459-3033, so our General Manager has an opportunity to speak with you and potentially address your concerns!

Fantastic experience: Only used pool - clean and lane available when I went at off peak times. Plus the mgmt was great providing me with a 1 month membership during my stay in Erie.
Thank you for your review, Joe! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Great place to work out, and just feels like a gym should. No gimmicks, no fancy talk, just the equipment and people you need to help better yourself. The personal training is top notch too.
Thanks for the 5⭐️ review, Jerry!
Negative experience: Do not do business with these people. I paid $1500 for a trainer for 3 months. My trainer no-showed on me over 6 times. I get put with a new trainer who ends up canceling on me over 20 times in 2 months. I spoke with Tony the manager about a refund and I get told no because I'm under contract. I never even got an apology and I wasn't allowed to transfer my training sessions either. I will never return and I will forever boycott this gym.
Negative experience: Front desk guy was trying to be helpful but guest rules are very poor. You have to be over 15yrs old to be a guest that uses the pool. We are from out of town staying at a local hotel trying to get some laps in. My boys are just trying to train and I am lifeguard certified. I understand why the rules are there but common since is super frustrating
Fantastic experience: Have been working out at Fitness U for at least 3 years and have been quite satisfied with the types and condition of equipment, cleanliness of facility and hours of operation. No negatives to report.
Thank you for your review, Roy!

Thank you so much for your review, Albert!
Fantastic experience: I took a tour of the gym in February as I had been currently going to a chain I just wasn’t excited about anymore. From the moment I walked in, everyone was so nice and accommodating. I immediately received a tour and upon signing up, I got two months for just $20 and a free training session. I hadn’t intended on doing any training, but I had liked the trainer and thought it could be really good for me. Fast forward to now, just a little over 6 months later, and I absolutely love it here! I’m still going training and look forward to it every week. Everyone here is so nice and motivating. They have a wide variety of equipment, a track, classes, pool, and sauna. You won’t find a better facility with better people.
Thank you for your 5⭐️ review, Paige!
Fantastic experience: Really love this gym and the staff. I am learning so much and my health is improving tremendously. I wish I found this place sooner.
Thank you for your review, Sarah!
Fantastic experience: FitnessU is awesome! It's not super packed to where you're constantly waiting to use something and also has a pool/hot tub/saunas!!
Thank you for your review, Heather!
Fantastic experience: I am a huge fan of what Fitness U has to offer and am very greatful that they have a daycare service so i can still workout while i have my kid
Thank you for your review, Conner!
Negative experience: Music is always too loud. Makes for a miserable workout atmosphere. The reason I am looking at other gyms.
Fantastic experience: Everyone is so darn friendly here from the front door to everyone in my water fitness class! they really make you feel so welcome and comfortable. And at an even better price than anywhere else!
Thank you for your review, Felicia! We’re proud of our environment and culture and we are so happy to hear about your positive experiences!
Fantastic experience: Best place to workout!
Thank you for your review, Vijitha!
Positive experience: Nice place to workout. Classes are helpful and everyone is friendly.
Hi, Victoria! Thank you for your positive review!
Positive experience: The music is ALWAYS at a very loud obnoxious level, especially in the free weight room in the back. It’s to the point where i can barely hear the music coming from my head phones.
Thank you for your review and for your honesty regarding the music. There was a bit of a transition period for a little while there as we had all new speakers installed, but the problem should be all sorted out now! Please do not hesitate to stop up at the front desk if you believe this problem still persists! Thank you!
Negative experience: FitnessU is a nice little gym with a lot of potential and friendly patrons and staff. However, it has fallen into a serious state of disrepair in recent months. Most of the equipment on the floor is rusty, there is black mold in the showers, the locks on most of the lockers are broken making things vulnerable to theft, the door on the sauna is perpetually broken, the sauna itself is gross and rarely cleaned, and some people who continuously break the club rules are allowed to maintain their membership. Unfortunately it seems the current ownership has decided to squeeze as much money out of the place as possible until it completely runs into the ground instead of investing what it needs to make it a truly nice gym again. Hopefully they will make the right decision.
Negative experience: Went to this gym for about half a year and had to move, here are some takeaways for anyone wanting to visit this gym: Pros- - David is a cool guy and always has a smile -Free weights (Great ) Cons: - half of the equipment is new and the other half is old and rusty crap - 80% of lockers are either broken or people leave their locks on the locker (Not bad but not good) - Sauna door is accessible by a string ( yes I’m not joking) staff claims they will fix it, but it’s been 6 months and nothing has happened, seriously how hard is it to install a handle to a door? - People claiming there is black mold on the men’s shower are correct ( disgusting) - if you plan on canceling your membership they will bill for for the next month as well - gym is small and always packed, sometimes have to wait 30 minutes for a bench. Most of the time it’s a hassle to get a lane for the pool. - Mirrors are cracked and staff have no intentions on fixing them. - maintenance for machines takes a century Hopefully this catches the attention of the manager
Negative experience: This place is in shambles. Rusty crusty equipment. Things hanging from the ceiling. Black mold and missing tiles in the showers, not to mention the shower heads barely work. Lockers with broken latches so you can’t even lock your items up. The sauna door has a disgusting literal piece of string to close the door. I’m all for supporting local businesses but this place is sad and run down. It’s clear they aren’t investing in repairs and updates.
Hello! We’re sorry to hear you had negative experiences here at FitnessU. We appreciate your concerns and would like to take this opportunity to address them. The “things hanging from the ceiling” are the covers of our brand new speakers we are currently in the process of installing on the main floor! The covers are hanging as installation is still in progress. Having the covers off grants us access to the taps to make sure the sound is calibrated properly with each speaker! Installation should be wrapped up in the next few days! So exciting!As far as missing tiles in the showers, that is no longer the case! They were missing briefly as we added insulation to our water pipes in the ceiling. All the tiles since have been removed and replaced with brand new, waterproof tiles! There is also no black mold. What a relief, right!?!?While it is true that some of the locker latches need some TLC, we are currently in the process of replacing/repairing said latches! Thankfully, there are plenty of open, functioning lockers to hold our member base over as we take care of the handful of faulty ones. Hooray!As for the Sauna, we understand your frustration with the door. The closer was recently broken and a new one is on order! Yippee!We can appreciate how frustrating things like this can be, but rest assured we are on it!We are proud to have provided our members with many upgrades in the past year or so, including but not limited to:- All new rubber flooring and carpeting in specific areas throughout the club (locker rooms, weight room, etc…)- All new sauna walls- All new benches and equipment in the weight room- A brand new fully equipped cafe with protein shakes and pre-prepared meals to ensure our members have access to quick and convenient high-quality nutrition! - Brand new high quality speakers for our main floor and free weight areas! We are so happy to have been able to provide our members with these upgrades and new features! We look forward to even more in the very near future as well as continuing to strive to be the gold standard in the Erie, PA fitness community when it comes to culture, atmosphere, and service!Thank you so much for your review and providing us this opportunity to dispel your concerns!
Negative experience: After they took over the other gym they kept my membership at 40$ instead of there membership of 24$ for 8 months this went on u til I found out that you had to ask them to change your membership . I was a member for 9 years and this is how they treat you ! They even turned me over to collections screw them!!!! I will never step foot in any of there gyms poor way to run a business!
Negative experience: I am really upset that I personally spoke to the guy at the front desk with my concerns about a violent offender who has a membership there. Not only did they lie to me that they'd never seen him before when I showed them a picture, but they promised me they'd never give a membership to someone with his history. Come to find, they lied about that too, since the dude recently harassed my friend who has a membership there. Dude is about 40 and my friend is 18 btw.... Really disappointed they don't take the safety of their female clientele seriously!! To all other women who work out there, if you see a bald dude with a bunch of blackout and face tattoos, stay away!!
Fantastic experience: Great gym
Fantastic experience: I love coming here. It is a wonderful place to exercise.
Fantastic experience: Clean and comfortable. Lots of great equipment and attentive staff.
Negative experience: Tony was not helpful the plans are ok and the prices are good but he's very very rude wouldn't go here
Fantastic experience: So much fun. I don't even care about getting up early in the morning to go. Best gym ever. Alot to offer also. Annette is #1!!!!!!!!
Negative experience: signed a 3 month contract special for personal training…Tony tries saying at the end of 3 months that it was for 6 months and no where in the contract did it specify the length. Also refused to do a refund when I was not supposed to be billed for next cycle.
We’re sorry to hear you had a less-than-ideal experience here. We can’t seem to find you in our records. If you could provide us with your name, we’d be more than happy to help rectify the situation any way we can
Fantastic experience: My personal trainer Ben is amazing. Keeps me motivated!!!
Fantastic experience: The Zumba class was SO fun! The teacher was in such high spirits, that it was easy to get into it. Not to mention the playlist was so easy to lose yourself in. Definitely coming back.
Thank you for your review, Chinelle! Glad you enjoyed Zumba!
Fantastic experience: Great staff :) always flexible with my crazy schedule. Victor is a great personal trainer and manager!
Fantastic experience: The staff was very polite and it was a very comfortable workout environment. I also got to try zumba with Maria. She was very enthusiastic with the class and made working out a lot more enjoyable.
