Carle Health & Fitness Center

Fantastic experience: Very good

Fantastic experience: Spent 3 years at Crunch. Major upgrade in terms of cleanliness and availability of equipment. More expensive but you get what you pay for. No more college kids in pajama pants setting up their tripods. Thank Jesus!!

Fantastic experience: Clean & well kept facility. Instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love going here for my rehab on my bicep. The staff and place have been amazing and great. If I have any other injuries this Will be the place I go to get better and recover. I highly recommend this place

Fantastic experience: I go to Carle Health and Fitness 3 X weekly. I would love to go more but it’s 40 min round trip, located on the far east side of Bloomington. The facilities are nice; very clean, friendly and knowledgeable staff. There is nothing missing. They have an indoor track, weights (of course), plenty of cardio equipment (never a wait) and an indoor pool. I had joined LA Fitness for this reason but they closed! I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: It is the best gym I have ever had membership with. It has everything a senior would need to keep the old muscles, joints and blood moving. The staff are excellent! My only drawback is that the women's shower stalls smell like mold. Otherwise, I'm pleased.

Fantastic experience: I had a minor medical incident at the gym last Thursday. I would like to commend your staff (and fellow members) for the very rapid and caring attention I received that day. When I returned to the gym yesterday, many people asked how I was doing, and commented about the feeling of "family" was quite apparent after the incident. This is why I love Carle Health and Fitness Center and the members I see every day. Thank you so much for having created such a wonderful place to exercise!

Negative experience: Clean gym, but Sauna and Steam room in the women’s locker room need serious updating. I was furious when they put toxic off gassing mats in their saunas. You can use it without smelling like burnt rubber. Steam room is some cheap plastic steam room. For the cost of the membership this is disappointing!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Carle Health and Fitness Center. The staff is always friendly and supportive. They are there to answer questions and to provide support. The facilities are kept clean and the equipment is maintained very well. Finally, the membership has always been respectful and courteous.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding exercise environment. Super clean. Staff are amazing. Well worth it

Fantastic experience: Super!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town.

Positive experience: Very nice people

Fantastic experience: Cleanest facility in town by far. A medium amount of equipment for weight lifting, but kenny of machines. The staff is the best I have ever experienced.

Fantastic experience: Going there for PT

Fantastic experience: Best physical therapy center.

Fantastic experience: I love CHFC! The facility is always clean, the staff is really friendly, there are so many great classes and machines, I could go on, but essentially this is among my favorite gyms. The amenities and opportunities are amazing.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff. Training assistance is available for as much or little you need. Well maintained areas and equipment.

Fantastic experience: Carle is the best fitness center in the Bloomington area. Cleaner than all the rest combined and a staff that really challenges you. It’s great for all ages and walks of life to stay healthy. Staff is amazing!

Fantastic experience: Excelente lugar y muy buena atención! Tiene todo! Le doy un 100

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym in Blono area, they have everything to make you satisfied and while you work out you can use sauna, chill in jacuzzi, and swim in a two different pools. Also there are tons of programs included in your membership. Also you can have a personal trainer and so on, so far this is the place i wanna be at least 4 times a week. Strongly recommended ❤️‍

Fantastic experience: They have everything

Fantastic experience: All aspects of this fitness clinic are five star

Fantastic experience: Outstanding services and health center! Lots offered!

Fantastic experience: The experience at Carle and Carle Physical therapy is amazing and very comfortable, thats the feeling when around the Therapists, you will feel comfortable and fit right in, its a difficult situation when a person goes for therapy, but these persons there make you feel welcome and you want to be there, The best ever.

Fantastic experience: Amazing fitness and health center. Only in the area once in a while and I Will make sure I pay this place a visit whenever I visit. Love the manual treadmills!

Fantastic experience: Really enjoy it. Thanks for being here.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful facility and kitten yoga was fun

Fantastic experience: Awesome!

Negative experience: The worst fitness center I have ever seen. Please don't go for memberships, it's a big scam. Why? You need to cancel by the 20th of the month to avoid being charged for the next month. You have to go in person to cancel. You can't cancel over the phone, via email. I guess you'd be paying forever if you moved halfway across the country and hadn't canceled your membership.

Negative experience: UPDATED REVIEW I've knocked the review down from 5 stars to 1 star due to their membership cancellation policy. Why? It's extremely arbitrary. First of all, you need to cancel by the 20th of the month to avoid being charged for the next month. Why? Who knows. I can't think of any reason why they would need to do this. Second, you have to show up in person to cancel. You can't cancel over the phone, via email, on their website, or by carrier pigeon if you happen to have one. I guess you'd be paying forever if you moved halfway across the country and hadn't canceled your membership. Seriously what is this - the stone age? Also, good luck with the TPC area if you visit around 5 or 6PM. They have classes with kids going on there that are basically let loose. They usually have some structured class and then are set free to do whatever they want. You'll see kids messing around with free weights, hex bars, and running around causing a dangerous environment. Up in the track area, they will be sprinting around and darting between the different lanes, and I almost witnessed people being knocked over several times by this. Lastly, the fitness coaching idea, while in principle sounds nice, is executed poorly. The coaches clearly have many more responsibilities on their plate than they can handle on top of the fitness coaching. It's impossible to reach them through the app leading you to have to email them, and you'll be lucky if you get a response. After switching coaches, the original coach still thought they were my coach - clearly there is zero communication at all within the team at this gym. Yes the gym is clean, yes the gym has good equipment and isn't too crowded, yes the clientele in general are very friendly, but that's about where it stops. There are clearly some management problems here. ORIGINAL REVIEW Extremely nice fitness center. Clientele are respectful, staff is beyond friendly, the gym is VERY clean, and there is more than enough equipment here whether you're doing rehab exercises, machines, powerlifting, or other S&C work. The elevated track is nice and so is the pool. Honestly, if you're considering a gym membership and can afford it (Carle is one of the priciest in the area), then choose Carle.

Positive experience: Almost ran out of towels. Some staff didn't know what some machines did.

Fantastic experience: Great fitness center. I wish it was closer to my home. Loved the atmosphere, people, equipment, yoga, and water classes. Just couldn't afford it and the gas to get there. Great place if you live in Bloomington Normal.

Fantastic experience: Good place for physical therapy

Fantastic experience: They are helping me get my knee in shape after replacement.

Fantastic experience: PT pool is warm Friendly people

Fantastic experience: This is a good fitness center, the staff is friendly, plenty of machines, plenty of classes on the schedule, hot tub, therapy pool lap pool, etc. One thing I particularly like is they have staff to create workouts for you. They created 2 for me, one that I do at the gym, one that I do at home with equipment I already have here.

Fantastic experience: Nice place.

Negative experience: After going through MCO rehab and the Carle Health & fitness "intro" program I used my credit card and signed up for ONE month. I was told it would cost around $60 total. (senior Citizen or Veteran discount). The employee couldn't give me a receipt. When working out I asked again at the desk and couldn't get one. I WAS BILLED ALMOST TWICE THAT - three total charges on 4/28 & 5/2. Contesting with Credit Card Company. Desk no help. Fraud or "untrained employee"? BEWARE if you use a card. Filing complaints.

Fantastic experience: Great place for any type of exercise. Free classes like Yoga and Water Aerobics are available with membership.

Positive experience: When I offer to share my time, I like to feel that I have made a difference. The time I spent as a volunteer at the Carle Bro-Med thrift shop was wasted and frustrating for me. All other volunteers on my assigned day seemed to enjoy what they were doing and did not encourage me to get involved: i.e. no one offered to train me on the cash register, and I felt like a "fifth wheel" when it came to customers who wanted to buy items.

Positive experience: Clean, open, good equipment, has more than most gyms. More of a premium experience and you pay for it with a high enrollment/sign-up fee and membership cost.

Fantastic experience: I really love this facility! I was not a big fitness person before but this place makes me so comfortable that I don’t mind going! It’s clean and the staff is so helpful and friendly, right down to the executive director who is not too busy and stopped and helped me with one of the exercise machines!

Fantastic experience: Planning on interning here and from what I'm seen, it looks top notch. Great atmosphere as well!

Fantastic experience: Everything you need, but pricey. Best health club this town has had in at least 4 years, except for the now defunct main Gold's.

Fantastic experience: The gym is consistently clean, the manager is conscientious about soliciting feedback and engaging guests. The equipment is well maintained and tanning beds are kept in good order.

Fantastic experience: Future of health care is here. A place where medical care is seamlessly integrated with health and wellness. The fitness facility offers equipment, services and classes I’ve only seen before at places like the Cooper Clinic or Brooks YMCA. They’ve got everything you need.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, worth the price!

Fantastic experience: This is a very well designed facility that includes a pool, track, free weights and plenty of steppers, treadmills and bikes. It doesn't have the feel of many gyms, a little slower pace? I've never found it crowded.

Fantastic experience: Best place to be in the whole world except the house of God.

Positive experience: The place was Clean and people were distancing.

Fantastic experience: This is my favorite place in town. They're clean, wide assortment of dumbbell and machines. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym very much- very clean, love the walking track, and great helpful staff willing to help you reach your goals.

Positive experience: Waiting desperately for the family swim to open

Fantastic experience: CHF offers more than many other fitness centers. It's well-equipped and professionally staffed. I have a customized program and regular follow-ups with my personal trainer. The equipment and locker rooms are kept spotlessly clean. And the sauna and steam room are nice perks! I am very happy I chose Carle Health & Fitness.

Fantastic experience: I love the fitness center because of the great trainers and employees. They are friendly, welcoming and encouraging. The facility is always clean and well maintained. I feel safe when working out and feel that the team truly cares about my health and fitness needs.

Fantastic experience: They have a great day care to watch your kids while you workout which is great for families

Fantastic experience: Had a great time wking out in the water met alot of people

Fantastic experience: Very clean well run gym. People are helpful and friendly. Pool is great.

Fantastic experience: This is a great place - especially for seniors! For a reasonable monthly fee, you get the benefits of big array of exercise (including yoga) and aqua classes in wonderful facilities run by the most helpful staff I have encountered in places like these.

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff and facility.

Positive experience: Fantastic facility with a great selection of equipment. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Everything is very clean and tidy. It's a wonderful place. The only thing that could be improved is having more options for families. I have children who would greatly benefit from use of the pool, but the opportunities for kids to access the pool are extremely limited.

Fantastic experience: Love this fitness and wellness center. Great knowledgeable, friendly staff! Very clean facility! Locker rooms, showers, pool, hot tub, are very well maintained.

Fantastic experience: Have used for a year and a half as part of hip replacement therapy and will continue using because of the quality of the experience and good results.

Positive experience: I go here all the time - ever since I had three months of water therapy for severe back pain in 2019 and then another month in 2020. I go to the warm-water pool to stretch and then do a little hot tub before doing machine exercises. Real nice staff.

Fantastic experience: Associates are helpful & friendly.

Fantastic experience: Clean and easy to use. Friendly staff are happy to help.

Fantastic experience: Great staff

Fantastic experience: Jenna is great if you ever need a personal trainer look her up and tell I sent you

Negative experience: Poor safety and sanitary conditions.

Fantastic experience: This is a top notch facility with top notch people working in every category. Get yourself a personal trainer and find out how to be truly successful with your workout regime.

Fantastic experience: Debbie rocks

Positive experience: I am involved in the swimming programs and they r very good...

Fantastic experience: Generally, it's a great facility and staff. And with Covid-19 going on, the staff has a good response in handling how many people can go in, etc.

Fantastic experience: All the staff here are so friendly and approachable.

Positive experience: it really bothers me that they're not concerned enough with the safety of members to put safety mats down in the locker room and in the hallway going to the pool it's extremely slick and someone is going to get hurt sooner or later but they do not care I have reported this to them enough times it's clear they're not going to act on it

Fantastic experience: Clean!

Fantastic experience: This facility is fabulous! Knowledgeable, friendly PT staff. They alao offer a reduced fee membership to the gym while you're doing therapy. I recently utilized there Dexa technology for a full body fat scan. I have never seen this priced lower than $89 and they were offering it at $25!! I signed myself, husband and mother, lol! It appears they may keep it at that price for a while so def call them if thats something you've considered doing, you dont have to be a patient there.

Negative experience: Equipment and trainers are wonderful. Child care staff are not trained on appropriate ways to work with children. They constantly pull parents out for minor things and never have fun activities to keep them engaged. I could tell at drop off they were never excited to have my son there, which is sad because he's a loving boy. If you're a parent of a child that needs extra reminders you won't get any self care here.

Fantastic experience: It meets all my special needs.

Fantastic experience: Great facility. Great staff. Great members.

Fantastic experience: Abundance of equipment, never have to wait. Staff is extremely helpful and polite.

Fantastic experience: They have so much to offer, super friendly staff, clean and I love it!

Fantastic experience: By far the best gym I’ve been to! The facility is very clean and well kept, with the friendliest staff!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Always super clean and has the friendliest staff!

Fantastic experience: Such a wonderful place to workout without feeling overwhelmed. Love all the classes offered.

Fantastic experience: Great place, great people, up to date equipment, helpful staff ,spacious nothing but great things to say

Positive experience: Very clean facility. It is rather expensive but the aerobic machines have individual monitors that allow you to plug in your earphones and watch cable TV, YouTube, etc while you workout. This has to cost them money.

Fantastic experience: This place is great. First time I've joined a gym and used it.

Fantastic experience: Great

Positive experience: It looks good

Fantastic experience: Lots of well maintained equipment. Friendly helpful staff. Clean facilities.

Negative experience: This is a very nice place but it's very pricey memberships are ridiculous

Fantastic experience: Love this gym, look forward to going 3xweek. Very modern, clean, lots of equipment(sometimes a brief wait if folks dawdle). Everything people need at any level. Indoor track, 2 pools, steam, sauna, machines, free weights, classes and group, advanced training, simply awesome. Love how computer key has my workout, loads into all machines, then tracks performance.

Fantastic experience: Great physical therapy
