American Fitness Center-Nashua

Fantastic experience: I've been going to AFC for nine months now and love it. My favorite thing about this gym is the atmosphere. Besides being clean and well-maintained, it really feels like a community gym. It's unpretentious. As someone who is curvy and wanted to go to the gym to improve my physique, I was initially very nervous about people staring at me or judging me for using the weights. I've gone to other, bigger gyms like PF and I always felt like everyone was looking down on me, and worse, I was fighting for equipment. Not at AFC. Everyone here is going to the gym to work on themselves, whatever that means for them. While of course you have many physically fit people here, there are also people of all ages, sizes, races, men, women, etc, each sharing a common purpose. I've never had a problem snagging equipment I needed or felt like I was in anyone's way. In fact, trainers and members alike have told me they've seen great improvement in me, which makes me feel so great. That's the benefit of a smaller gym - the people there remember you and root for you. I also love the boxing class. It's really popular here! I had never done boxing before and fell in love. It makes me feel powerful. Strong. And, best of all, disguises the workouts a bit! It's so much easier to work out when you're concentrating on pads and bags, and I end up burning 400-500 calories a session. Jason, and all the trainers, pay attention to your moves and help you improve your form. The classes are smaller too, usually around 10 people, so you can ask any questions you want and the trainers can pay attention to your form. If you're a nervous first-time gym goer like I was, or if you just moved here and are looking for a clean, community gym, this is the place.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Lots of machines, a great selection of weights, clean, and overall a really friendly atmosphere. I would definitely recommend AFC to anyone in the Nashua area who wants to start exercising!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, very clean & the workers are very helpful . 10/10 gym

Fantastic experience: They are a very rustic military style gym. The different military flags. Cardio equipment Boxing and MMA area Lots of CrossFit room No leg curl machines seated or lying but a deadlift station and they have cable machines. It's always open when someone's there with the garage doors making it easy to just step in.

Fantastic experience: After been to different gyms after I move. I have to say that this gym is the best I have ever been. Nice equipment and personal trainer.

Fantastic experience: Have a membership at another gym in the area and went it for a personal tour. I bought a membership here because the front desk hp.was very kind and the gym seems to be exactly what I want. Not crowded at all and the equipment looks traditional with a new spin. I'm not a big class guy so I won't be taking advantage of that but as far as environment...I couldn't find anything quite like this in the area.

Fantastic experience: AFC is by far my favorite gym! The facility is always clean, the members are great, and it literally has something for everyone’s workout type. They have small classes, personal training, obstacle course workouts, boxing, cardio, weight management and more. The trainers are very knowledgeable and really pay attention to each of their client’s individual workout goals. They become like a “gym family”. Whether you’re looking to try something new, get back into shape, lose weight or just punch it out this is the place for it all. I HIGHLY recommend checking them out!

Fantastic experience: I've started seeing a personal trainer, Andy, here for the last few weeks and have been enjoying myself. It's been going really well and I'm looking forward to continuing to work out here and with Andy. If you are looking for a no frills, bare bone gym and gets the job done, I'd recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: This gym is exactly what I need. They offer classes throughout the week that are challenging, yet not intimidating. They’re set up for all skill levels and the environment truly is Judgement Free! Everyone is helpful, including other members. I used to go the another gym that claimed to be “judgement free”, but I hardly ever went, as I never really felt comfortable there. I find myself looking forward to my workouts each day now.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Love this gym came from another gym in Nashua that was overcrowded and where more people spent time recording them selves than working out. Nice quiet gym clean every one is very nice.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism AFC has it all when it comes to your fitness needs. The trainers are excellent motivators and very skilled! It is much more personal & WAY better than the chain fitness centers.

Fantastic experience: AFC has everything you could ever need! I came from a group fitness only gym and have enjoyed the variety of things I can do at AFC. The group classes are great and the trainers cater the workouts to you, whatever your goals/limitations may be. Definitely a great place to workout!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to AFC for 3 months now and I love all the equipment they have. During these times, they have plenty of hand sanitizer and keep things clean. There is someone usually going around and cleaning up areas. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Such a fun gym! My boyfriend and I got a day pass last year and had a blast working out there. Everyone there was so nice and friendly! They have a lot of equipment and toys there that many other gyms don’t have. Definitely a place that we plan on visiting again!!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and members, plenty of space and equipment to suit almost any workout. Convenient location and newly extended member access hours are a big plus. Great gym.

Fantastic experience: Awesome vibe and awesome owner. AFC has everything you need and a great array of classes to boot. Best gym I've ever joined!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality Great gym, has equipment that most gyms around here don’t have. Never crowded to the point where you’re waiting to use a certain piece of equipment like at most chain gyms. As long as I live here, this is where I’ll go

Fantastic experience: AFC is awesome. The workout options vary and provide opportunities for different types of training. The classes are the best - mainly because of the incredible staff. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: My husband Paul and I cannot say enough about AFC - especially the the owner Jason!!! It is a great environment. It is second to none when it comes to personal training and getting results. On days when you might not want to be at the gym, Jason can immediately boost your energy and make you feel motivated! When you hit a plateau, he finds ways to encourage you, change things up and get you to that next milestone. Most of all you can tell that he truly cares. The overall staff is friendly and welcoming. We would certainly recommend this gym, the bootcamp classes and the trainers (Jason & Andy) without a second thought.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality One of a kind gym. Jason and his crew have really put together something great. No better fitness gym around. No competition. So much to do here . Unique equipment for all your fitness needs.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality The people at AFC are very friendly and helpful. They helped me set up a workout schedule customized to my needs and capabilities. The other customers are friendly. There is plenty of equipment and a good variety. There are also classes/groups.

Fantastic experience: After 4 years of being at my old gym i had to make a switch, and i couldn't be happier. All the staff here are very friendly and will answer any question you have without hesitation. But the main reason i love it, is the odd school style workout with boxes, ropes, tyres exc. Really brought a whole new dynamic to my lifting that will help me for the long run. Couldn't recommend more

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism I had a wonderful experience my first time attending here with my husband. We enjoyed the ropes course, climbing ropes and other unique items not offered at other gyms. I especially enjoyed the monkey bars as it reminded me of being a kid again. We really enjoyed ourselves, kind of like going on a date

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality American fitness center provides a clean, safe, friendly environment to focus on physical fitness. There is something for everyone here equipment wise, classes are fun and effective and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Great owner and management. I love the functional training equipment to help mix up my workouts. I have done personal training and boot camp classes here as well. Trainers are great. Whatever type of workout you want to do, they have the equipment and/or the program for you.

Fantastic experience: I started at AFC hoping to get stronger and I have thanks to the incredible trainers there, but I also received so much more... a community, friendship and confidence. Gyms have always intimidated me - I thought all gyms were impersonal & judgmental, but not AFC. AFC has so much heart & completely changed my opinion of gyms. The owners- Jean & Jason genuinely care about the health & happiness of their members. I'm so grateful for them and the rest of the AFC staff along with the equally friendly gym members I've encountered. AFC has completely changed my life & offered me a safe space to learn & prioritize my health. Join AFC, you won't regret it, it is THE best gym out there!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Nashua hands down. I've been to them all. It's for people serious about fitness and those just getting started. Great staff and they have everything you need.

Fantastic experience: They have the weights/equipment to make one strong such squat racks, benches, and deadlift area. They have other equipment for muscle building and cardio too. I enjoyed working with the free weights.

Fantastic experience: My 17-year-old daughter has been going to AFC in Nashua for the last year and LOVES it. They treat her very well and go out of their way to make sure their members are happy. They're even allowing graduating seniors from local high schools to go to the gym free for the summer! Great gym and I'm very happy my daughter has a safe and reliable place to exercise.

Fantastic experience: This place has everything you need. I incorporate tires and sledgehammers in my workout and I saw them in the back as soon as I walked in. The owner gave me a discounted rate as I was only in town for business. Very pleased. My only criticism is it could have more plates for the various barbell equipment, but there was always enough for what I needed to do.

Fantastic experience: Great facility and very welcoming staff. All the basic equipment you will need plus a great area for those who enjoy martial arts or boxing training and cardio. Jason took time to help me with a lift I was struggling with and was very knowledgable and approachable.

Fantastic experience: We went in today for a day pass. The owner, Jason, was really nice and gave us a tour of the place. As an OCR athlete, this gym offers a lot of equipment that a typical gym doesn't such as rope climbing, monkey bars, rings, tires, etc. Had an awesome workout and will definitely be returning! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I’ve been using this gym for several months now and it’s honestly the longest that I’ve stuck with a fitness routine in my adult life. It’s more than treadmills, lifting and equipment- it’s fun and motivational. Staff is great!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for over a year and love it! American Fitness provides very dynamic classes that fit multiple needs. It is a fun and motivating environment! The owner, Jason, and all of the trainers are all extremely approachable, honest and caring. Each one provides their own training style with very diverse workouts that benefit you. The best part is that they are focused on your goals and helping you do your best to achieve them.

Fantastic experience: Gyms can be intimidating. Especially for people who are new to working out or looking to start a fitness plan. AFC made me feel welcome and comfortable the minute I walked in to check it out. They offer a variety of equipment, weights, boxing, obstacle course stations, group classes and amazing trainers for all fitness levels. The group classes are small and tailored to fit every ability. The community at this gym is like no other, friendly, supportive and inspiring.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Nashua! Has everything you need from free weights, machines, cardio equipment, strongman equipment, and punching bags. The turf area is great for warming up as well. They also offer fitness classes and the staff is always very helpful.

Fantastic experience: I joined about 3 weeks ago, and I love it, you can tell the staff really care about your progression and they are very involved with there members, military friendly, and have everything you could ever need for your workout, Highly recommend! Also the owner Jason is extremely approachable and makes you feel like you belong!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to AFC for over two years and it is the best gym I have ever been to. If you're into powerlifting it has plenty of racks and other equipment to do your exercises without having to wait. Theres also plenty of room to do more functional and dynamic exercises such as walking lunges, sleds, tire flips or TRX training. If you're into boxing or MMA they have heavy bags and speed bags which can be a fun way to get cardio in or work on rhythm and technique. The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They don't hesitate to help you out if you have simple questions or looking for advice on alternative exercises, remediate injuries or tips and tricks if you're trying something new.

Fantastic experience: For one, awesome staff, two, they have actual free weights and not just isolation equipment, however there's a good mix of both for those that'd want it. They have classes from boxing to weight loss, and personal trainers that would be happy to help you with anything. The staff actually know what they're doing, and I haven't had any issues asking for help if I didn't know what something was. I've been happily coming here almost 5 days a week for a few months, and I'll keep coming.

Fantastic experience: I started going to AFC about 3 years ago and it was the best decision I’ve made. Before finding AFC, I had trouble finding a gym that I felt excited to workout in everyday. The community of members, along with the outstanding staff and owner make AFC the #1 gym in New Hampshire in my opinion. Highly recommended. Regardless of the workout style you prefer, this gym has it all!

Fantastic experience: After graduating as a collegiate athlete, I struggled to maintain a driven, purposeful workout regimen. I would go to the gym to strength train several times a week, but I wasn't seeing results OR enjoying my time. About a year ago, I decided to enroll at AFC and take advantage of the super affordable group training classes. I've always wanted to learn how to box, and the Cardio Kickboxing classes at AFC were absolutely PERFECT for beginners. As your skills develop and you become more comfortable with your technique, Jason is more than happy to tailor workouts to push you to your limits. The boxing classes at AFC are the highlight of my week, not only for the high-calorie burning workout, but also for socializing with my boxing crew! AFC has built a wonderfully supportive community of members that make going to the gym genuinely enjoyable. In the past 4 months I have lost 20 pounds of body fat, while building lean muscle. It's also worth noting that my energy levels, mood, and overall health are the best they have been in years. Jason and AFC staff have re-ignited the passion for fitness that I forgot I had. Thanks to the continued support and mentorship that I have received, I am now pursuing a certification in personal training and will be coaching small group classes here at AFC! From a client, to a fitness professional, American Fitness Center has helped shaped my life in all facets. I am now a happier and healthier version of myself. I couldn't have done it anywhere else, or with anyone else.

Fantastic experience: I recently moved to the area and I feel like I really hit the jackpot having this place so close by! It has all the equipment you could possibly ever need, and everyone is very friendly, especially Jason, the owner. It’s also never too busy during peak hours, so you’ll get a great workout anytime you go. I love the old school feel and really appreciate how clean it always is. And on top of that, it’s so incredibly affordable, and there are no contracts. Does it get any better than that?! American Fitness Center is my unicorn gym. If you read all the other reviews, you’ll see I’m not the only one who thinks this place is special.

Fantastic experience: I decided to join AFC at the beginning of February 2017. The two main reasons I joined were convenience and what the facility has to offer. AFC offers a variety of classes at very reasonable prices and the staff is always encouraging and willing to help. I am a stay at home mom to 3 little ones and it has been too easy to say "I don't have time to go to the gym". AFC has helped me not only find the time, but find ME again. Since I started back at the gym I have been taking 2 group classes a week and participated in personal training once a week. The trainers here are phenomenal. They are always willing to listen to my goals and the struggles that I am trying to work through and help me come up with a plan for how to achieve the goals I am looking for. The combination of workout and nutritional coaching has made a huge difference for me. To date I have lost 20+ lbs and have enjoyed every minute that I have spent at AFC.

Fantastic experience: I started at American Fitness Center by taking boot camp classes in December of 2016. I wanted to get in shape for my wedding in October the following year. I took boot camp classes twice a week and then eventually did boot camp and kickboxing classes. I can honestly say I have NEVER been so in shape. I have muscle definition in my arms and my back that I have NEVER had before. All the trainers are wicked knowledgeable regarding form and technique for each exercise. They will also gladly modify an exercise if you are sore or have an injury. I am so glad I found this gym and I know I will look amazing in my wedding dress thanks to American Fitness Center.

Fantastic experience: I’m incredibly thankful that I found this gym and decided to give it a shot. After taking a 7 year break from the gym and losing all confidence in my fitness, I finally decided to bite the bullet and get back. The staff at the gym is friendly and more importantly so are the members. Everyone seems to be there to work, and I feel that there’s never any judgement being passed. This makes it enjoyable to go, and has enabled me to make the gym my habit again. The gym has a ton to offer as well. With a huge open space for all sorts of training (sleds, Big tires, ropes, heavy bags, etc), it makes it easy to change up your workouts so that you don’t get bored. Furthermore, there are group classes almost everyday and they offer personal training (which includes dietary education) as well. I decided to sign on to personal training to add a level of accountability and keep me on track. I have to say, Michelle is an amazing trainer and mentor, and I know she truly cares about the success and results of her clients. Results speak for themselves. It’s been 6 weeks and I’ve lost almost 25 pounds and gained definition back in muscles I haven’t noticed in awhile. If anyone is on the fence about trying a gym that they haven’t heard commercials for on tv, know that you’re one of the lucky ones that found American Fitness Center!

Fantastic experience: I've gone to a lot of gyms in the past. I was introduced to American fitness center about 5 years ago. It's by far my favorite gym!! Jason, the owner is very nice, inviting and always says hi! (It's the little things, that make you feel at home there). He offers a variety, which is great!! From tire flipping, to a few obstacles, monkey bars, rope climb, cargo net. The weight lifting section, and my favorite are the classes!! I do three a week and they all leave me dripping sweat! They are there if you have any questions! My son has been going there as well for the past 4 years! I highly recommend American fitness center!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to American Fitness Center for a little over 8 months, and it has been the best gym I’ve ever been a member of. Whether you want group classes, one-on-one training, or to just work out on your own, AFC has it all; reasonable prices combined with a wide variety of workout equipment. The staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel welcome and at home. There is a relaxed vibe about AFC that made it an obvious choice over some of the local chain gyms in the area. After visiting gyms in Nashua all day back in April, I walked into AFC, signed up after a brief tour, and have enjoyed being a member ever since.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place. I never been to a gym that feels more welcoming, hard working, and actually enjoyable. The trainers are wonderful to work with and extremely approachable. And the boxing, bootcamp, and strength training classes are also a great option- they're fun to do and great workouts! Going to American Fitness Center makes me excited to workout.

Fantastic experience: American Fitness Center has the coolest, most hardworking people around. This gym is Southern New Hampshire's best kept secret. People who workout there are like family, make you feel comfortable, just like a gym atmosphere should be. Whatever your goals are this gym can assist you in reaching them!

Fantastic experience: I'll get straight to the point. I love this gym! This gym pretty much has everything you need to get to whatever level of fitness you're trying to reach. I've gone through being in basketball shape, football shape, explosive power lifting shape and now being in "fighter" shape. Doing all of that from just this gym. This gym has a good cardio area, weight lifting area, cross training area and MMA style area. I switch up my workouts all the time because this gym makes it easy and allows me to. I haven't had an opportunity to work with the Trainers, but I do see a lot of sweat and fun going on in their small group sessions! It's all about atmosphere to me when it comes to a gym. This gym definitely has a fun and friendly atmosphere to it. If you are active duty military or are constantly leaving for long periods of time like myself, they are very easy to work with in that area. As long as you give them a heads up, they will freeze your account and welcome you back with open arms when your orders are complete!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. My favorite part is that it's never crowded (at least when I go in the morning!). Tuesday and Thursday kickboxing classes are a great way to get your cardio in. Or plenty of equipment with a bunch of squat racks, jacob's ladder, rowers, kettle bells and more to get your own workout in. Staff is knowledgable and genuinely care about you. It's my second home.
