Central Penn Fitness Center

Fantastic experience: I just signed up a week ago, so far everything is great. Prior to signing up I read all of the reviews I could find about all of the gyms in the Harrisburg area, none of the gyms had all good reviews. after reading the reviews on this page I expected poor customer service, and rude people. But to my surprise my experience has been excellent. When I first came in Larry gave me and my wife a tour of the place and a free three day pass, and when that pass was over we signed up. The crowd is a little different than I was used to over at the Y, over here the crowd seems a bit more friendlier and much more talkative to each other and to us. As compared to the Y, we had been going there for 7 years and did not ever get to know more than 3 or 4 names. The bathrooms are clean as well, which was very important to us. And it's less than half the price of our former gym.

Fantastic experience: Clean facility, well kept machines and weights. Perfect amount of space, waiting for anything is very minimal. Hours are great, as well as cost. My biggest rave about this gym though, are the trainers. Fantastic people with great personalities. Group classes are offered in a wide variety. This gym is the best!

Fantastic experience: Great instructors who are knowledgeable, upbeat, encouraging and in shape; friendly staff; clean locker room and facility in general. CPF and Aquatics is like it's own community center, focused on fitness and good health. I am glad I joined.

Fantastic experience: Central Penn is a "one of a kind" place in my opinion. There are so many options to pick from! As a retired Senior Citizen, I am I able to take advantage of morning classes and especially love the aquatics classes in the Olympic sized pool. I have made many friendships there over the 8 years that I have been a member, and enjoy going whenever I can. I am always happy when I get there and and very much enjoy the pool and the hot tub! Both are very therapeutic for me! I can do things in the water that I can no longer do on land. They offer a host of non gym type activities as well. That would include things like a monthly book club, Art aciivities, and Take Off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS) meetings as well as craft fairs and so many other things. The monthly lunch out with other seniors in the club is a a great way to meet new people and so enjoyable!

Fantastic experience: Nice place to workout and take a swim and relax

Fantastic experience: My favorite gym! Never overly crowded! Great classes! And the staff are so sweet and helpful! Lost 170 lbs here!

Positive experience: The people that works and goes there are very friendly. Like family involvement ! Pool is awesome and the jacuzzi as well . Love this gym

Fantastic experience: Best pool in the area absolutely. Friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Great place. The best kept secret in Harrisburg PA. Love their indoor swimming pool. Warm and available. Clean too!

Fantastic experience: If you are swimming here, you may want to avoid 3-6, since that’s when the high school teams practice (at least late November though February).

Fantastic experience: My favorite place to exercise and well work the money, very clean place with awesome customer service!

Fantastic experience: Classes kept me from a life of pain and restrictions. Instructors are fabulous and for sure constantly watch the participants to make sure they are doing the exercise correctly and are happy. I just love welcoming everyone feeling everyone gives you.

Positive experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism I really appreciate the professionalism and safety procedures they are taking in this COVID season. The only gym that take your temperature and provide your own cleaning spray bottle and everyone wears their mask. I have not see this safety in the other Gyms planet fitness are church fitness.

Fantastic experience: The staff are very kind! I've had nothing but good experiences there.

Fantastic experience: Everything perfect

Fantastic experience: Very nice gym! Friendliest by far! Lots of great classes. A vibrant atmosphere! A warm greeting from Robin at the desk always starts the day off well!

Fantastic experience: Central Penn Fitness has something for everyone. A variety of aerobic exercise programs, fitness equipment, free weights, Olympic swimming pool, racket ball, etc. The biggest draw for me is the certified Tae Bo instructors who were trained by Billy Blanks himself. Top notch!! That alone is worth the price of admission.

Fantastic experience: Can't be giving up best gym in Harrisburg I think..........good people.....good vibes........love the pool and hot tub good for my muscles......

Fantastic experience: Clean; follows covid 19 guidelines of taking temp on entry, masking, and social distancing. No attitudes amongst members. Elliot and Lori are great class instructors!

Fantastic experience: small groups of people social distancing

Fantastic experience: Nice sized and quiet private gym. Not over populated

Fantastic experience: Great pool and classes. Zumba and. Water classes!

Positive experience: Great service very polite staff, pool was nice as well as the hot tube. The excercise equipment needs some service done to them and the place could be a tad cleaner. Other equipment in bathrooms also need repair to them. But overall a good place if your not too picky and just want to swim and have a good workout.

Positive experience: They have all the equipment I like and plenty of classes as well as an excellent swimming pool. Only one thing I'd ask for and that is 2 buy more of the small 2, 5 and 10 pound weights that go on the Nautilus equipment as there is only one set and it's crazy trying to work out if other people need those weights too. We have a nice group of members there too. Warm smell of colitas in the air.

Fantastic experience: Great Gym

Positive experience: Wonderful for silver sneakers! Look at the good reviews. It seems management has addressed previous complaints. When taking pool membership they gave me the hours for swim team use. Having been on a swim team myself, shame on all those below complaining about that while trashing them with one star. The other complaints are about pricing: it's a gym. A big one at that. I ignore all reviews that complain about rude staff. Courtesy goes both ways. The pricing is great for me but I come with silver sneakers. My husband will drop by for $5 a class and join in the summer for the pool. I believe the instructors here do a wonderful job with seniors and disabled people. This may be a godsend. Get your parents here.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this gym for 10 years for the senior water program. Great program and have made many friends. We work out to oldies and just enjoy the instructor. Please check out this great place.

Fantastic experience: I only go for the water Zumba and it is awesome the twins with one of their husbands are amazing and they are great Kathy it's also a lot of fun I didn't really think I was getting a work out until I figured out you can't move your feet like they do you just have to take smaller steps it's great work out and also a lot of fun

Fantastic experience: I had my son's 5th birthday party here. (Indoor pool party) it was awesome!! Ms.Barb was great! Very helpful. Everyone had a great time. We will be back...and some of us may also be getting memberships.

Fantastic experience: My go to place for exercise and friendship.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for years

Fantastic experience: I used to go to PF but didn’t like how there weren’t any classes offered. Once joined to Central Penn I started attending the various classes that are included. The classes have awesome motivating instructors that make it fun to workout! After going for some time I’ve gotten to meet lots of positive people that share the same interests and goals as myself. I feel like I’m a part of a community at Central Penn and wouldn’t trade it for the world!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and members. Up to date equipment, great arobic classes, and hot sauna.
