The Fort Athletic Club: Opinions

Fantastic experience: Great gym, awesome staff and excellent equipment.
Fantastic experience: This facility is so gorgeous! Sparkling clean, bright and state-of-the-art, amazing staff, great yoga classes with a gorgeous hot yoga room with fireplace. The pickleball here is great. Personal trainers are AMAZING (shout out to Lexie!)
Fantastic experience: Child care, cleanliness, shower/steam room with towels, great facilities and friendly staff. Would highly reccomend.
Fantastic experience: Thank you, Iwona! Signing up for personal training sessions with Iwona Rhoads was a great decision. She's been incredibly helpful in teaching me the right techniques and exercises tailored to my needs. Her expertise is evident, and it's no surprise she holds a master's degree in this field! I highly recommend her for anyone looking to improve their fitness journey.
Fantastic experience: Been going to the weight room only for a month. Never packed, super clean. No wanna be Instagram models filming. No screaming college kids. The girl who onboarded me was not pushy at all, super helpful. Highly reccomended if you're willing to pay the higher than average price.
Nick - thank you for the kind words and welcome to the fort fam. We’re here for you. Please reach out if you ever need anything or have any suggestions for us. See you at the club
Fantastic experience: Started at Fort 2 years ago and I absolutely love it. Try to make it to the gym 5 days a week and they make it easy with all the different classes, hub, and pickleball. I am an EMT so need to keep up my strength and feel the Fort has given me more years to do what I love to do, help those in need. The employees at rhe Fort are incredible as well. Sam, Doug, Matt, and all of the staff are amazing humans. Keep up the good work. Cheers
Julee - Thank you for your review and thoughtful words. It makes us so happy to hear about your experience at the club with us. We appreciate you being a part of the fort fam <3 Thank you for being a local hero for our community.
Fantastic experience: Clean ... Gorgeous ... Well done!
Thank you Gerard! Your support means a lot! See you at the club.
Fantastic experience: Love everything about the Fort
Thank you Scott! Always here for you!
Negative experience: Done with this venue. They keep changing the court assignment rules for pickleball to the detriment of the game.
Fantastic experience: The best gym/athletic facility around for miles. Tons of machines, classes, & events. Great addition to our area. Check it out!! Before you miss out…
Ryan! Thank you for the awesome review and for being a part of the fort fam. We appreciate you.
Negative experience: It’s unfortunate that I have to write this since I was excited about joining the Fort and using its beautiful facilities once it opened. I recently got the opportunity to start a free trial and was thrown off by a few things. The first is that certain machines are not in working order. For explain there are multiple stair masters currently not working and I know nothing is perfect but for a very new facility they should be on top of all their equipment. Secondly, they advertise greatly about there Canteen which is cool that they have shakes for post workouts but I went to get a shake on a Sunday around 4:07pm and was turned away and told that they were closed when the sign specifically and 9am-5pm. I did not argue with the club but I thought that wasn’t the best way to persuade a customer to join their club. Place needs better customer service. The sign for the Canteen said 5pm not 4pm
Hi Brandon. We apologize if your experience was not met with what you hoped for.Upon receiving your message, we immediately looked at our stair masters and all were in working order. One of them had a reset code which we did so immediately.Outside of one cable that our provider sent the wrong replacement part, all of our equipment is in working order. We have a daily walkthrough to ensure everything is operational.As for our hours at the canteen, yes we do close at 4pm and post our hours for all to see. Like many businesses, we too have challenges in staffing and are working to build our team.Wishing you the best of luck on your fitness journey.
Fantastic experience: I just went to my first two classes at The Fort this week! It is an amazing place. Everyone is so kind and welcoming! Alexa was the instructor in my first class and she made me feel so at home, was super high energy and even made us all laugh! Then I went to EYS with Kristina and she was such an awesome instructor! I literally had no idea what I was doing and she went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and show me the way. She was extremely knowledgeable and helped me get the right form. I want to take all of her classes now! Starting a new work out program and feeling awkward is hard but both of these instructors went out of their way to make sure I felt good! I will definitely keep going back because of them!
Jocelyn! We love this message and feedback. We’re so glad to hear you had a great experience with us. Our team is always here for you if you need anything at all. Welcome to the FortFam ❤️

Thank you for taking the time to share your review Alanna. See you in the fitness hub!
Fantastic experience: The state of the art condition of this gym is unlike any other gym I have heard of in recent days, and makes this place worth getting a membership for. The administration's commitment towards the current public health crisis also ensures that this gym is very safe, and is laudable. The people who run this place are among the most supportive of people I have met, and I cannot help but advocate for them. These are people who truly do CARE about YOU and this place has truly got it all, so come on down and join NOW!!! Also pickleball :D
Thank you Sumanth! We're so lucky to have you here with us as it's our members that make what we do so special.

Fantastic experience: I have found my new happy place! Since joining the Fort Athletic Club in October, I’ve been making major strides in my fitness journey. The facility is top notch, but better than all the high tech equipment and amazing classes are the people behind it all… from the owners, management of the club, the instructors, personal trainers and the canteen and front desk staff. Every single person there makes you feel part of a family and takes a personal interest in your success and helping you achieve your goals.
Thank you Dara! We love having you.
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! I started at the Fort to check out the game of pickleball (which has been lots of fun) I liked the Fort so much I decided to upgrade to the all access membership, which includes boutique fitness classes, of which my favorites are yoga and earn your stripes! Thank you Vicky Maydawn, Steve Gallagher and Ashleigh Boyce for making my workout experience great!

Fantastic experience: This is exactly what this area needed… a local gym with a local vibe. The FAC is the perfect place for individual and/or family workouts, with the basketball courts offering not only hoops, but pickleball, volleyball, and soccer. It’s the perfect place to decompress and only minutes away from home.
