Fantastic experience: Great Gym to workout in! Always stocked on the best supplements, Almost all of the equipment is new, and what isn't new is in great condition. Everyone picks up after themselves, and the gym is always kept clean. Great environment, full of experienced lifters who share their knowledge willingly. Extremely fair rates, and overall, great place to lift!

1st Place Fitness Center

We appreciate it! Glad to have you.

Fantastic experience: 1st Place Fitness is a top notch gym with two convenient locations. They have a wide selection of fitness equipment that is well maintained. Both locations are always clean. Other members are friendly and always willing to lend a spot or help new members with form and technique. The owners are the best in the business and take pride in helping you reach your fitness goals!

Negative experience: Their website offerings of plan options is a bit confusing. It states that you can pay by month and not be obligated to sign into a recurring monthly payments, but unless you change the toggle to “by month” instead of “monthly” on the payment screen you will be billed on a recurring basis. On another note, the space is very small, just one room. not really any separate areas where you can workout without being a foot away from someone else. Also has a funky sweat smell that their cleaners are not covering up, so feels dirty to me. ***Edit: due inappropriate response from owner… I included a screen shot of when I first entered the contract that clearly states “Single month to month” How is this clear that your customers are purchasing anything other than a “single month to month” purchase? Also if there are only 5-6 members using the gym at a time out of 600.. you’ve said enough without my review.

1st Place Fitness Center

We appreciate your review. Unfortunately we are unable to make the website anymore clear that you are purchasing “one month” or “monthly auto debt” (which you had selected) and upon your selection we were not able to reimburse your previous charges. Also our “one small room” is 3000sf that gives the gym a more private feeling that our members love over a giant commercial style gym. we love that our gym rarely has over 3-5 members at once attending giving the area we have a much larger feel! As far as the “sweat smell” this is the first we have been notified and with over 600 members we would have expected to learn this sooner. And we will try and figure out why or when that smell is present. For future purposes of leaving a bad review on a business please read all information when you are signing up to avoid this mistake with other businesses Thank you!

Fantastic experience: 1st Place Fitness is the best place to go for strength & cardio training, really in the entirety of Northern Madison and Limestone Counties. Austin and Kellee are great owners and are dedicated to listening to any feedback you might have! With two locations and plenty of strength machines, dumbbells, treadmills, cleaning supplies and even tanning beds, it's a friendly and helpful place to sculpt the new you. Cannot recommend this gym enough!

Fantastic experience: I have had an excellent experience with 1st place. All other gym goers have minded their own business and even when other people are there I still feel alone which us the way I like it. 24 hours is great and I can go whenever I have a chance. It is affordable and I would recommend this place to anybody

1st Place Fitness Center

Donald Williams 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym all around with everything you need and more! Personally, I love the small location on hwy 251 and Bethel rd. It has 24 hour keypad access, tanning and isn’t usually over crowded so you have privacy while working out. The larger location in downtown Ardmore has more amenities available but is usually more busy for the time I like to go. The prices are fair (well worth it for couples) and you have 24/7 access to either location. Any issues I’ve ever had has been immediately taken care of and because of the way they have treated me I’ll remain a member here for as long as they are open!

1st Place Fitness Center

Thank you very much!
