Powerhouse Gym Bridgeport

Negative experience: This place was amazing until you try to cancel Your membership. They don’t answer the phone, but hired a company to do their customer service, but you can’t cancel with them. You have to call the gym, they don’t answer. After months of not using the gym because I had to leave the area due a family emergency. I’ve been calling and emailing to cancel my membership to no avail. I finally get a hold of an email that works. I explain the situation, their response? That’s great but you’ll still be charged an extra month. $52 when my membership costed $39 but the day I cancelled they charged my account for $195 and still paid the 52 today . I wish I never came here and good luck to anyone else!

Fantastic experience: Great clean gym!!

Negative experience: My problem lies with the clients of this gym more than anything. People destroy the bathrooms, don't flush, shave and spread bacteria, NEVER wipe down their machines. The poor cleaning lady who has to go in the men's bathroom god have mercy on her soul. These people have the worst gym etiquette I've ever experienced in my 15 years of lifting. Today someone was so filthy and unhygienic that they're dandruff coated the bench they were on and of course, they didn't wipe their filthy away.

Negative experience: overall a good gym but nobody is ever at the front desk. sometimes there’s people but 60% of the time nobody is there to assist you

Fantastic experience: Undoubtedly the best gym I've ever joined. We've been coming here for about 6-7 months now! PLENTY of equipment, treadmills, ellipticals, and opportunities to do group fitness classes. Can't beat the price!! (Family plan = ~60/mo total for up to 4 people). As a woman, I'd been turned off of going to the "big" gyms from all the creeps who are "just trying to help show me how to use the equipment". This has absolutely NEVER been an issue here, and I can tell you that I am confident if there ever was a problem, management would handle it without question. The locker rooms are clean and it has great facilities - sauna, tanning beds, massage chair things, group fitness classes - all included with the membership I have. There is also a cardio theater! Watch movies while walking or running on the treadmill. My husband and I also opted into the personal trainers. We initially had planned on just doing it a few months to look good/feel good for our wedding, but I can tell you with confidence I will use this service forever lol. Mel has been the most influential person in BOTH of our lives this year (Mel! You dropped this! )- he is positive and encouraging, supportive, and pushes us without being mean or making us feel bad. This is the most consistent I've been with the gym for over a decade. I feel good, I feel strong, and although I've still got a ways to go for my own personal goals, I've never felt better in my adult life. If you're on the fence, I would encourage you to give it a try. Hugely helpful! The staff are friendly and kind (shout out to our faves, Ashley and Alex!) and the smoothies you can get from them are to die for. Gym patrons are also friendly and kind. Love that it's 24/7 access! 15/10 recommend we will never change gyms!

Negative experience: This gym is a joke — and not the funny kind. No formal notice of membership price hikes — just a lazy “there were signs at the front desk.” Meanwhile, I get constant texts from random trainer numbers reminding me my body scan is “expiring today” — somehow weekly. The place is filthy. Dust caked on equipment, cleaner only wipes the lobby, and half the treadmills have been broken for months. There's an alarming shortage of 10lb plates, 5lbs plates, and 2.5lb plates. Trainers treat the floor like a personal obstacle course, taking up 3-4 machines at once with zero signage or courtesy. Oh — and apparently HVAC is optional, because there's no working heat or AC. Hope you enjoy lifting in a sauna or freezer, depending on the season. Let’s talk about boundaries: the female cleaner regularly walks into the men’s locker room and sauna without knocking. Completely inappropriate. And as for communication? I was told I had access “until 6/17.” Like a normal person, I assumed that meant through 6/17. Nope. Showed up that night and got told my access was cut that morning. And before the gym tries to jump in saying “this review is false” or “defamation” — save it. That’s your response to every honest review that calls out your mess. Instead of gaslighting paying members, maybe address the real issues. Plenty of other gyms out there that actually clean, communicate, and respect their clients. This isn’t one of them.

Negative experience: Todo está bien con el gimnasio menos el tema de la limpieza todas las máquinas están llenas de polvo sucias el piso todo es sucio , los espejos sucios absolutamente todo está sucio deberían de poner personal que se encargue de limpiar como hacen los otros gimnasios gracias…

Fantastic experience: I've been going here for a year, and it's the best gym I've ever been to. There are plenty of treadmills, a very supportive staff, and numerous free programs with trainers—Pilates, yoga, cardio, and more. The gym also has a big parking lot and is never crowded. Membership prices are one of the cheapest in the area. I absolutely love this place!

Fantastic experience: I enjoy working out in a space that's well taken care of & Alyssa, the manager, does an amazing job of making sure of that! good staff + good smoothies = happy me

Negative experience: I like the gym. Good location. I would like even more to give it 5 stars, but I can't. I've been coming here for two weeks, and after asking, the soap dispensers in the showers are still empty. Gyms are a haven for germs, and cleanliness should be a higher priority. The staff also don't seem to keep the weights in order. Going to the free weights area is like going to a 5 year old play room. It's completely disorganized. Other than that the staff are friendly. The folks that come here also seem to be very nice. EDIT: Lowered my review score from 3 stars to 2 due to a rude trainer that took the barbell i was using. Bathrooms have not improved despite many requests.

Negative experience: Ashley gave me a very hard time when trying to sign up for a guest pass. I wanted to try the gym out and she was very rude, kept telling me I wasn’t following a policy and after I told her I wanted to work out just for today she told me to leave. Really don’t appreciate this service, especially when trying to be comfortable at a new gym

Fantastic experience: My FAVORITE place to workout! This gym has an amazing vibe that cannot be duplicated, anywhere else! From the staff, to the members, Powerhouse has an inviting and supportive feel to it. Even the manager takes her time to converse and connect with the members! Her and the rest of the team will greet you by your first name, making the gym feel like a safe space to become a better you. There is plenty of equipment that will help anyone get the results that they seek. You are also free to attend some classes hosted by great trainers, who are there solely for your physical progression. Let’s not forget the 24/7 access! If you are struggling to join a gym because of finances or even self esteem, please do not hesitate to check out this Powerhouse! The first step is walking through that door. You’ll instantly be welcomed by an amazing staff, and an encouraging atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout. Incredibly clean. It's my new gym and I will be bringing my friends with me. I would have given more stars if allowed

Fantastic experience: Real customer friendly. Great atmosphere. The manager is fantastic. This is the best gym by far.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. Staff is very friendly and actually care about the needs of the members.

Fantastic experience: Great gym environment staff is super friendly and knowledgeable always greeted with a smile and hello. Manage always responds super quick if you have any problems. I personally been going there for 3 years and trains with a trainer there I recommend this gym any chance I get.

Fantastic experience: I recently joined Powerhouse Gym. Much to my delight the staff is welcoming and encouraging upon your arrival always smiling faces and a genuine willingness to help you with whatever you need. The gym membership all seem to be nice and friendly. The training staff not only in knowledgeable and professional with their skills and experience but if they see someone not necessarily a client they offer friendly guidance to get the maximum benefit out of their workout routine.. The evening workout classes hosted by Sam Baldwin aka No Sympathy Sam are effective, fun and well orchestrated in order for you to enjoy the diversity while having fun and getting results. The classes are geared for any level of you fitness journey. To sum this gym experience up I’d say…. Fitness can be fun and rewarding at Powehouse Gym in Stratford location.

Negative experience: small

Negative experience: Great place!

Fantastic experience: What I like most about this gym is the clean equipment. I experienced stinky equipment at another gym and tried powerhouse instead. I dont regret it and will be coming back.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the area hands down no argument and some of the newest equipment

Fantastic experience: First thing I thought wow beautiful and clean space for my workout ,I’d say the has some top tier equipment and great trainers I met personally and they know exactly what you and what your asking for ! Great staff creating a great training atmosphere . This is my go to from now on !

Fantastic experience: This gym mad working out fun. Will definitely be going back. You will not do the same workout twice and if you go you will see the results no question. It’s a life changing gym experience and I recommend it highly to all my friends and family. Everything about this gym is great.. very clean!

Fantastic experience: Love this place, very very clean very very organized and when you walk in you feel welcomed and comfortable the staff is amazing and nice and it is the perfect fit for anybody! The equipment is very neat and always clean too

Fantastic experience: Great staff . Great equipment. Positive atmosphere

Fantastic experience: The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The place very clean and the equipment was state of the art. I recommend to everyone.

Negative experience: you're gaslighting people in this review section to make them believe your gym isn't dirty and understaffed. disgusting how you cant take responsibility for the problems in YOUR gym and then want to pin the blame on members. no one cares how "state of the art" your machines are, if they're dirty. ive seen u brag about your "cleaning service" when in reality its just some middle aged dude who comes in wearing crocs who vacuums for 30 minutes then leaves. open your eyes and realize gyms like la fitness and edge dont have a problem with water dripping on their machines when it rains. staff changes completely every 4-5 months and it's clear, just imagine what happens behind the scenes of a gym who can't even keep machines in proper working condition.

Fantastic experience: Dom the personal trainer is the best.

Fantastic experience: It's a very empty gym with lots of bodybuilding equipment There is never a way for the tanning booth either which is great

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for over a year now. The gym provides great classes, friendly staff and a clean environment. I also like that they are open 24/7 so I never have an excuse to not get my workout in.

Fantastic experience: I recently made the decision to join a gym and wanted something on the smaller, more personal scale. The staff is welcoming and professional from greeting every member with kindness to consistently maintaining a clean facility. The personal trainers are knowledgeable, supportive and always ready to challenge you to break out of your comfort zone. There are plenty of up to date equipment options from cardio to machines to free weights along with an area for group fitness classes. I was nervous about getting back into a fitness routine, especially in an unfamiliar environment, but could not have found a better place to start.

Fantastic experience: My favorite gym in the area ! Always has the perfect amount of people so it’s never to overly packed and they have equipment most gyms in the area don’t have! I also had a few personal training sessions with the trainer Sam B and he is awesome ! Very motivating and good environment :)

Fantastic experience: PowerHouse is a good gym, has everything you need for a workout. But what I really LOVE and the true reason I belong to powerhouse is Sam. He is hands down THE BEST personal trainer. He pushes you even when you want to give up. His classes are awesome and very motivating. And beginners DON’T be intimidated. He modifies everything and will be sure to give you what you need! If you’re looking for yoga, sally is amazing too!

Fantastic experience: I’m happy to be a member of powerhouse I love the convince of the hours I’m able to go whenever I need and gym is always clean ! And equipment easy to use The classes they offer are amazing very good trainers that teach classes it’s worth every dime very satisfied 5 stars

Fantastic experience: Always Clean friendly staff, Personal Trainers are very helpful and patient with teaching how to workout properly for your age and or conditions.

Positive experience: Sam, one of the trainers here, is the best. I have been training with him for a little under 2 years and it was the best decision. He is truly one of the best attributes/employees of Powerhouse and makes every workout push you outside of what you think you are capable of. The gym, itself, could be a little more updated.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love power house. The staff are always pleasant. Great environment to meet your fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: Favorite gym, staff is super kind and supportive. I aways feel welcomed and comfortable

Negative experience: I went there as a guest with a current member. Would never go again, met the owner he's very uptight and the place was dirty as hell didn't feel good there the vibe was horrible no thank you

Negative experience: I've been to this facility and was not impressed at all. Wasn't clean, bathrooms were not that clean either. For the Powerhouse brand, wasn't impress. Actually I was disappointed. Been there at few times with a member and questioned his decision to join.

Negative experience: I sent an email to this gym, canceling my membership due to travel and they did not accept it and they continue to send collection letters to my address, be careful when you enter to register at this gym, they do not accept cancellation and continue to charge

Fantastic experience: I am really glad I became a member over a year ago because this is my favorite gym hands down. It is spacious, clean, and they have tons of equipment. The staff is friendly, helpful, and they always welcome you with a smile. They have a variety of equipment you never have to wait for anything. And it is CLEAN! I always see the manager there too, she is the one that signed me up. She always seems to be working hard and I see her helping staff, members and making sure the gym looks tidy. I even saw she was cleaning the bathrooms. Her professionalism and kindness shows with how great the staff is and how clean and organized the gym is. I see the owner there too and he was helpful. I seen him fixing equipment and cleaning and I ordered a shake from him and he makes the BEST shakes. They care about the member experience and it shows. I recommend getting a personal trainer because they are helpful and knowledgeable. And it's also not expensive at all. I told my trainer I should pay double for the results I've seen!! I honestly can't rave enough about this place. It truly feels like home and I recommend EVERYONE to join!

Negative experience: This gym is a joke, you pay your membership fee's and the maintenance fee and nothing gets fixed. There's bolts coming off the equipment and a broken waterfountain to greet you when you come inn. Every 6 to 8 months the staff changes, I wonder why?? The gym is old, they haven't changed ANY equipment since it was ASPIRE. GOODBYE NO as noted I left this gym because they adapt policies and don't inform members of any changes also you see the photos they don't lie. The gym is Dirty, understaffed and if you complain they want to get rid of anyone who tells the truth.

Negative experience: Me and a buddy signed up together around February Mr Sabo proceeded to to call and very unprofessionally speak with me friend ultimately closing his account Ive since then tried to cancel my account but due to my job no employee is there during their "after hours" so Ive tried calling for months with no one answering the phone I even called the 888 number and they told me I couldnt close my membership with them I had to contact the gym itself which NO ONE answers so I eventually had to just block the gym from charging my credit card

Negative experience: Very unprofessional gym, don’t come here. Had guest privileges but wouldn’t allow guests. Then revoked my membership for no reason. Terrible service.

Negative experience: Terrible customer service. Other locations actually answer the phone but the Bridgeport branch does not. 100% a scam. Save your time and money.

Fantastic experience: One of the best places to work out. Very clean and friendly environment. The equipment is great. I definitely recommend this gym to everyone !

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a lot of space,Well trained staff and occupied with modern equipments

Fantastic experience: Great fitness gym with all modern equipments and they have all professional staff to help you achieve your goals

Fantastic experience: Great place for work out and staff is very friendly and they got nice machines & equipments

Fantastic experience: This gym is very clean and the staff is friendly and helpful! The atmosphere here is just overall great!

Fantastic experience: I give this gym a 5 a five star review because of the professional staff how they help you on every aspect of the gym I will definitely recommend this gym to everyone

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of joining the Powerhouse Gym Bridgeport, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with every aspect of my experience. The staff at this gym are simply outstanding. From the moment I walked in, they greeted me with genuine warmth and enthusiasm, making me feel right at home. They are incredibly knowledgeable and always willing to assist me with any questions or concerns I have. Their professionalism and friendliness create a welcoming atmosphere that truly sets this gym apart. Cleanliness is an absolute priority here, and it shows. The entire facility is immaculate at all times. I appreciate the attention to detail in maintaining a hygienic environment. The floors, equipment, and restrooms are consistently spotless, which not only reflects the high standards of cleanliness but also enhances the overall experience. It's clear that the staff takes pride in providing a safe and sanitary space for their members. Moreover, the gym's equipment is top-notch. They have a wide range of state-of-the-art machines and free weights that cater to all fitness levels and goals. Each piece of equipment is well-maintained, fully functional, and easily accessible. Whether I'm looking to do cardio, strength training, or something more specialized, I can always find the equipment I need without any hassle. Overall, I cannot speak highly enough about the staff, cleanliness, and equipment at this gym. The friendly and knowledgeable staff create a positive and supportive environment, while the impeccable cleanliness ensures a safe and enjoyable workout experience.

Fantastic experience: Super clean! Well kept, the staff were very helpful And answered all my questions that I had. Will be coming back !!

Fantastic experience: the atmosphere here is great! everyone is very friendly and welcoming! definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: This Gym Is Outstanding ! The Staff Is very Friendly .. It’s A judge free zone .. what really got me was how clean the gym was.. I love working out here .. I reach my maximum potential

Fantastic experience: One of the best power house gyms I have ever been to. All of the staff are professional and friendly. They recognize all members by name like they know them for years. You feel like you really belong. The equipment, bathrooms, locker room are super clean and when a machine goes down, it is fixed immediately. Other gyms I was a member at, the machines wouldn't work or be repaired for weeks.

Fantastic experience: This is a great and wonderful business I highly recommend.the company.the company is very clean with the most updated equipment.its truly a place I would really go with friends and family to exercise.

Fantastic experience: What a clean gym and alot of space for workout and amazing staff. Must join this gym for your betterment.

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out, very clean and neat with great atmosphere as well.

Negative experience: I found that a lot of their equipment was loose. Bathroom smelled like urine. Everything seemed either dirty or broken or both as far as machines. The showers were honestly gross. I think they had 2 out of 3 sinks working. Some of the machines were frankensteined together with parts from other machines. They definitely lack cleanliness and need to keep up with their machines better and it would not be so bad. A lot of their equipment is pretty old as well and could use an update. Wish I took more pics to show.

Negative experience: This place is a lie when they said first month free. First bill came at 60$. I didn’t pay because they lied about first month free. Now I got a collection for $600 the whole time I’ve not been at that gym. Called to speak to the gym no response. This gym a real joke

Negative experience: Worst machines and benches in Stratford all bent and clanky with miss match parts staff literally walks into the locker rooms a guy walked in on my girl changing and said he’s cleaning. Weights and equipment are not taken care of and scattered all over the place 99$ cancelation fee

Negative experience: It’s a nice place and the staff seems nice. I signed up and got the first month free as advertised but the first payment was twice the amount of what I signed up for and they apparently don’t accept phone calls according to their automated system. Once again nice staff and nice place just ask about the pricing beforehand.

Positive experience: I used to be a Fitness Edge member and have not regretted my switch to Powerhouse. I enjoy going to Powerhouse; I've been a member since the middle of the pandemic around 2021- Ish. The staff has always been friendly, from greeting me, making shakes, or even telling me to have a great day as I leave. I've always enjoyed the customer service I've received. The facilities / machines are great too, some have wear and tear but its a gym, this is bound to happen. Overall I've had a very positive experience here!

Negative experience: Employees aren’t very kind. Won’t be back.

Positive experience: Bigger building = more space.

Positive experience: The don't have the best equipment, but they're open 24/7. That's a huge plus for people with busy schedules.

Fantastic experience: It was great. I love that gym..

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Positive experience: Limited weight machines.

Positive experience: I'm an 80s and 90s throwback. I like the gym feel, not the huge big box pretty clubs. What is lost is gym etiquette. No matter where you go anymore, people still don't put weights away and leave all their paper towels on the floor. Only one staff member stands out because she goes beyond a simple "hi" and takes the time to be friendly to everyone and that is Jacqui.

Fantastic experience: The gym is clean, alot of space to workout

Fantastic experience: It’s open until Saturday and Sunday

Fantastic experience: I went here for a change. I wanted to check out the equipment. The gym appears to be on old Crunch fitness that is now a Powerhouse gym. Its got a steam room, alot of cardio equipment and a cinema room for watching movies while doing cardio. plenty of weights including 35lb plates. The juice bar is very good

Negative experience: 1star say it all

Fantastic experience: This places makes you feel comfortable, comfortable in your own skin. This place is not to packed and I love gig there and I love the ppl that works there they motivates you!!

Negative experience: Watch out for the crazy cancelation process and fees. So after a few year of going this gym I had to move. First you can't just cancel in person. To cancel your membership you have to submit an email with a bunch of personal information and then wait for a response. You have to do it 30 day prior and if you do it mid-month you will be charged for 2 or 3 extra months. On top of that after I canceled my membership, the following week I got a $40 charge and then a $50 charge not sure for what since my membership fee is around $21 I really did liked this gym and the people here are really friendly. Equipment is really nice too but the whole cancelation process left a bad feeling. The second they find out your leaving your treated like a unwanted step child and they try to squeeze every dollar they can from you. Now I have to get my bank involved to dispute the charges. Because of this I would highly recommend checking out The Edge Fitness. For the same price you get longer hours including Sundays till 6PM not 1PM, multiple location access and different type of workout equipment. PS: The Edge in Shelton has a 12K massage chair.

Fantastic experience: Best gym for a temporary membership

Negative experience: The Power House (it was called Crunch) I was a member of in Stratford closed during Covid (two years ago) and my payments stopped obviously as there was a lock down. Then the location closed and its now a dollar store. Fast forward to a year ago - evidently they opened a new location in Bridgeport and started charging me again. When I discovered the charges and called last week to ask a very unhelpful and unsympathetic employee why they had been charging me for over a year (over $400) they said they called and emailed me to tell me my membership was restarted (they did not). Can you believe that they opened a new location that I have never seen nor know where it is yet they renewed my membership without my permission or knowledge? Total crooks and I am taking them to small claims court as well as taking my story to social media. STAY AWAY FROM THESE SCAMMERS!!

Fantastic experience: Expertly Managed and Great Stafff

Fantastic experience: Great gym for the value! Lots of different equipment and very spacious.
