Horace Pearson 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The thing I like about the fitness club is that their are six facilities throughout the Richmond area, so depending upon where you are in the greater Richmond area your membership is good. Love the classes and the app to sign up for the classes; step, cycling, aerobics, yoga etc. Plenty of fitness equipment (at all facilities) and if you can't get in shape there, you just didn't try hard enough. Can be pricey but great place to meet others that are fitness enthusiasts. Not a muscle bound, hard-core gym but a place where you can feels comfortable working out.

Fantastic experience: American Family is great facility to get fit and loved the hot tub at that location

James Regan 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: American family is far and above my favorite gym. Been a member since '04. I've tried a few competitors but it's just not the same. In some environments my intensity is seen as intimidating and they're not appreciative of it in staff or clientele. In others it's just not comfortable with long wait times for gym equipment and a dirty atmosphere. It's got the perfect blend of personal freedom with variety. 10/10.

Danielle Meeler 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Love Ruth’s Zumba class on Wednesdays and the new training turf!

Karen Fox 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Clean facility with lots of equipment and I never have to wait for machines. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Lindsey Jordan 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: This gym has such a great atmosphere. The front desk staff will greet you when you come in and tell you to enjoy your workout. The locker rooms are very clean and there is always an employee in there cleaning. I like how the women’s sauna is separate from the men’s. The gym isn’t overcrowded, so I can get in and finish my workout without waiting to use equipment. Employees are also always on he floor wiping down equipment and keeping weights organized. Lisa and Aprell are amazing individuals and have wonderful personalities! They were very specific about membership details and fees. I have nothing to complain about!

Taylor Talbott 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Definitely the best maintained gym I’ve ever been apart of.. this location is the “smallest” but it’s still huge! The memberships are up there so you better be dedicated!!! But all worth it! Thank you AMF!

Fantastic experience: Just got signed up today. The membership guy Tyler was really easy going, explained details well, gave an excellent tour, and was really likable. Top notch customer service. The facility is clean, and has a chill atmosphere. They feature a juice/shake bar, a nice lobby, every weight setup and machine you can think of, and very clean locker room with sauna. The kid zone is pretty cool, with a full schedule of activities and friendly staff. None of the kids in there looked less than happy, so another plus for the busy parent! The sign up process is streamlined and easy, featuring mostly a digital format. They have have a discounted military membership, which is nice. Yes, you can use it if retired with the DD Form 2 (Retired ID). All in all, I’m excited to start working out here, since as a disabled vet I’ve kind of let myself go (by my standards). There are people of all ages, shapes, sizes working out there happily. So no worries if you aren’t a gym rat. The only gym rat types I saw didn’t appear stuck up or self absorbed and were quick to toss a wave or a bro-nod.

Jessica Tatum 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here for nearly 3 years now and I love it! Awesome (addicting) classes, it’s actually most of what I do when I visit which is roughly 4 times a week. “Power” is an excellent intro into learning your way around a bar + weights and incorporates all muscle groups and it’s still perfect when you’re wanting an all over, all muscle group, work out. “Fight” is perfect for incorporating HIIT into your regimen, you also learn proper technique and form for self defense and martial arts. AmFam Chester also offers a ton of yoga classes, barre, etc. “Family” is definitely what I feel like when I check-in, I don’t think I’ve ever felt so connected to a fitness community before; the instructors are personable, consistent, FUN and have even become close friends and fitness companions. This place is definitely the BEST part about living in Chester. And of course, super clean, visually appealing facility. Super easy check-in, you can also use their app on your phone if you’re keyless like me. Locker room is always pristine and fellow members are mindful of others and friendly!

T S 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love this place I’ve never had a problem with the staff. Also my 5 yr old daughter never wants to leave the kids area because the activity’s, so personally that’s more important for me that they have a good daycare staff. I’m there to lift weights maybe get a shake and leave not be catered to it’s a gym.

Fantastic experience: Great, modern facility. Nice staff as well. Wish it was bigger and had a pool and racquetball courts so I didn't have to go to Midlo or CH, but this is still my prime workout spot.
