Fantastic experience: I love my gym! The staff is friendly and professional. The instructors treat each and every person like a priority, no matter what phase they may be in their fitness journey. My only critique is the pricing for membership. The only way to decrease the cost of your membership is though referral’s of friends or family, however I have not been able to get anyone to join. I pay 150.00 per month with no hope of any form of a discount. I am a single parent and would greatly benefit from a small reduction in my rate. Especially since I have been with the gym for a year! Although I feel that the price is well worth it, loyalty should be rewarded in some form, especially those who paid full price during the pandemic. Overall I give hardcore fitness 4 and a half stars for customer service, great instructors, and a family like atmosphere.

Shavonne Holton 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Perfect place to rebuild strength! Before training at Hardcore, I noticed that I was running out of breath while doing low level activities. Several months into my training, I resumed my role as a wellness instructor. The classes at Hardcore improved my health and conditioning so well that I was able to teach my live yoga classes while observing the mask mandate.

Fantastic experience: This place is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! I have been overweight my whole life... and for many reasons have not been active for a LONG time! The trainers work with u at your level and the other clients who work out here... also super nice and no one makes u feel judged! I get at least 3 high fives and fist bumps every time I make it through a work out! If u dont think u can do the gym thing...ur intimidated? This gym will change your mind! And u owe it to yourself to be fit! So thanks to this place im doing just that. Signed up for a free 5 day trial and I am hooked. I go pretty much every day. So glad I decided to take a chance here.

Roxana Howell 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I needed to face myself at almost 2 years post baby. I tried so many diets and pills but was never accountable. I saw my friend Jen's results and was amazed. I loved what the program had to offer and I accepted that this was my starting point to becoming happy in my own skin again. I have had the most amazing experience here. Every day having people who support and sincerely care about my health/well-being. I have never met a more real group of people in my whole life. It's scary walking into a gym as an out of shape person, but I never felt anything but encouraged every single day by the trainers and members. It has made me stronger mentally and physically. What I've accomplished in the challenge is more than I could've dreamed of. With two weeks left of the challenge I was already wearing the clothes I had hoped to be in at the end of the two months and surpassed one of my biggest goals. At final assessments I cut my mile time down by 1 minute. One of my biggest accomplishments was going from squatting 55lbs to 155lbs in just the two months of the challenge. I lost 26 pounds and 31 1/2 inches, in which 4 1/2 of those were in my waist. I'm also down 2 pant sizes. I've gained my confidence back, my happiness, my strength, mind clarity and to sum it up....my life. I am beyond grateful. Not only would I recommend this to a friend, I already have. I would say that this challenge is one of the best things you could ever do for yourself. You will gain something more than just physical strength and learn so much about yourself in such a short amount of time. I would also say that one of the best parts about doing this is that you are never alone and have so much support from everyone at this gym. This WILL change your life.

Fantastic experience: This gym is one of a kind. The trainers and owners are personally and emotionally vested in our progress. They keep me motivated and engaged and oyster me pay my own limits. They also Jane a program for my kids. It's a fit lifestyle.

Michael Carson 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love this place so much. This is so much more than a gym. It's a fitness family. The trainers are here as a matter of passion. I get the feeling they could go make more money somewhere else,but they are here and they really care. The owners are hands on,often wanting me to report my progress directly. The members are kind,engaging and inclusive. If you want to feel like a part of a team,or a part of a workout revolution,then give this place a shot. You wont regret it.

Angela Dawson 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: This gym has been my game changer! I've always worked out pretty consistently but my results were minimal. After only 6 months at HCF, I am stronger and leaner than I have ever been. The trainers are the best and the members are welcoming.

Tim Testa 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started this gym in August the day it opened and will always remember what Owner Tommy Reynolds told me. After touring the gym and hearing how things worked I knew this was the gym for me. Tommy had invited me back for a free 5 day pass and said that the next day was legs. I told him that I'd see him the next day after that and the one thing that he said and has stuck with me was "If you want to change you'll show up" sure enough I showed up. My health wasn't the best when I started here and after 3 months my Dr was amazed on how much of a improvement I had made on my health. This is more then a gym it's truly a family and can't see myself anywhere else.

Nadine Allo 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best gym.. love working out there with the greatest motivating trainers

Sarita Haros 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym ever...probably because it isn't your typical gym feeling but more of a family, team spirit atmosphere. Trainers are awesome and take the time to give you individual attention. If you try the 5 day free trial you will fall in love with it as I have! I'm 2 1/2 weeks in and already off my blood pressure meds. Couldn't be happier!!!

Dominic Boull't 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: These guys have great Fitness classes and personal trainers. The results on their 60 day challenges are unreal...

Kasi Blunk 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: More than a gym, the trainers and its members make you feel like a family. A year and 4 challenges later and I'm addicted. If you want a killer workout that will push you and force physical and mental growth stop by for your free 5 day trial. I promise you'll be hooked!
