Riverside Athletic Club

Fantastic experience: Everything you could want in a gym, great owner, great people, family friendly

Fantastic experience: Best gym! With a variety of classes like bootcamp, Barre and yoga, there's something for everyone. The community here is incredibly friendly and supportive. Michelle is very kind and knowledgeable, with workouts planned for you. All I have to do is show up to the class and be ready for the burn!

Fantastic experience: Riverside Athletic Club is the best gym! There is something for every age and fitness level. If you want to go alone and at your own pace, there is more than enough equipment to support your workout. If group classes are more your thing, there are several different types of classes offered several times throughout the day. The instructors are knowledgeable and offer encouragement without intimidation. I am a regular in the evening and Saturday bootcamps and Michelle (gym owner) makes every class fun and unique; I appreciate the surprise each night and have yet to grow bored. Michelle goes beyond just being a gym owner and fitness instructor. She takes the time to remember birthdays, she celebrates the wins and is supportive during the losses. It feels like a big family and we’re all getting stronger together!

Fantastic experience: I’ve known Michelle, the owner of Riverside Athletic, since her days at the YMCA in 2013, and I joined her gym when she opened it in 2018. Riverside Athletic is truly the perfect place for anyone looking to start or continue their fitness journey. The family atmosphere makes you feel welcome from day one, and Michelle’s passion for fitness and helping others is evident in everything she does. Whether you’re just starting out or working toward advanced goals, this gym provides the support, motivation, and community you need to succeed. Highly recommend it for anyone seeking a positive and inspiring fitness experience!

Fantastic experience: What a great place! I’ve been coming here for 3 years and have loved every second, even when the seconds feel like hours! Michelle, the owner and primary fitness instructor is kind, encouraging and keeps everyone accountable without making you feel guilty if you miss a day or need an active recovery workout instead of a bootcamp session. The class times are perfect for working professionals but she also offers open gym times for people to come and go as they please, in addition to personal training. Board workouts are always available & you never have to think about your workout, she’s done all of that for you. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! Best gym, best family atmosphere & overall best workout all age ranges & fitness levels!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for the best gym ever, then Riverside Athletic Club is the fitness club for you! This gym offers a variety of classes such as HIIT, yoga, barre, Zumba, and much more at all times of the week and weekend! Saturday boot camp at 9 am is UNMATCHED! I love the membership option of open gym as well. If you want one on one personal training, there are various times you can select with trainers like Michelle Hoffman and Amy Smith who will get you far beyond your fitness goals all while having a blast! Riverside Athletic Club has childcare, towel service, energy drinks and protein shakes on demand!
