Pinnacle Health and Fitness

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of HRC Fitness for almost fifteen years. It is a great place to work out. They have a wide variety of classes in addition to the fitness machines, free weights,racquetball courts and pool, The instructors are very friendly and always willing to help members in any way they can. There is a sense of community with the other members as well. I would definitely recommend HRC Fitness to anyone who is looking for a great gym.

Fantastic experience: Costumer service is very friendly and polite, the place is clean and organized, excellent trainers, and the smoothies are delicious and health conscious. Perfect for the whole family.

Fantastic experience: We hosted my daughter’s 8th birthday at the Pinnacle pool and Nycole and team were absolutely fabulous! The day was perfect. The children had the entire pool to themselves. Nycole helped set up the food / entertaining area. She was super responsive and attentive — she met the pizza delivery person for us and helped take down the party at the end as well. We were able to actually enjoy the party instead of running around crazy. The kids LOVED the pool and were so tired after. They had access to all the pool toys — sinking toys, noodles, boogie boards, you name it. Two lifeguards made sure everyone was safe and flowing the rules. Lots of cannon balls and fun. This was easily one of the best birthday parties we’ve ever hosted. Thanks so much to Pinnacle and Nycole especially for a wonderful day!

Fantastic experience: The variety of classes (including aquatics) is what attracted me to pinnacle a little over 2 years ago. I have not been disappointed. The instructors are all great, the staff is friendly and the facility is very clean. There are options for virtual classes, as well as a library of recorded classes for those days that I just can't get to the gym. Great fitness center for the whole family!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful facility! It has everything I could want or need - pool, gym, classes, food, and more!

Fantastic experience: This place is so cool I work out here all the time and I have lost so much weight since I got a membership here it is so warm and welcoming i highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Sam the front desk lady is so cute and perfect deserves to have wage doubled!!!!

Fantastic experience: The pool is warm and not too deep for kids. The swim instructors are patient, friendly and have good techniques. Moreover, the swim class duration is longer compared to other facilities which I feel is the main reason for giving 5 stars.

Fantastic experience: We love our swim instructor! My kids love her and they learned swim in a very short time !

Fantastic experience: Pinnacle is like comparing a Four Seasons Hotel to a Days Inn. Pinnacle is the Four Seasons compared to your Retro, Planet, Crunch. The gym is outstanding. Very clean Facility. The equipment is updated and well maintained. The staff is exceptional. Pleasant, courteous, professional. I wish I had known about this gym 3yrs ago when I moved to Hillsborough. Definitely a gym above the others. If you are looking for a local gym, definitely worth checking it out. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: This gym very well equipped and the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. They have every machine you need and they keep the facility clean and sanitized. They have pool and showers as well! Overall this place is very nice!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely LOVE next. Their staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely inclusive. No matter what your fitness level or experience, they make you feel comfortable and welcomed. There’s something for everyone there! After the restrictions lifted and gyms opened up, I felt extremely safe being at Next. It’s clean, sanitized, and comfortably spaced to ensure social

Positive experience: Very nice facility. Very well maintained. A bit pricey when compared to emenities provided by places like lifetime fitness. Very helpful staff and trainers

Fantastic experience: Love the gym! It has so many classes that you can’t get bored working out! Very clean and everyone is so friendly! :)

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym! I transferred from planet to here and I am so happy to call this gym my new home. It has everything you need and more! The classes are awesome too and all the instructors are incredible! The gym is never crowded and everyone is really nice! Definitely recommend!!

Fantastic experience: I just completed the Nutrition Series with Sam. Even though I had a strong knowledge base, I learned many strategies from Sam to make this a sustainable lifestyle change. After the weekly session, Sam shared a copy of the presentation which was extremely helpful to be able to go back and reference the information. 8 weeks working with Sam gave me the recipes, mindset, strategies & tools to lose 10lbs. Also included in the program was an InBody body compostion analysis. Sam is very personable, listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions. Sam’s the best!

Fantastic experience: Since I’ve rejoined the gym with the new improvements, it’s been great! The lifting area is much bigger and I did a session with the trainer Mike and he was very informative/helpful with my goals for my workout journey.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality The staff is very helpful and make you feel welcome. The building has been updated quite a bit. The locker rooms look and feel great with a modern appearance. I truly enjoy coming here.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality The staff here are incredibly friendly, my whole family enjoys the pool, and the free weights room is spacious and well stocked. Loving it at Pinnacle!

Fantastic experience: I notice on previous reviews it's mentioned about the staff and how clean the gym is, so I won't address that as I agree. I was very impressed how the gym reopened when covid hit. The protocols put in place were easy to follow and the staff was accommodating with any questions. Also, the members were respectful towards each other and that says a lot about the gym and its members. I love the policy for reserving swim lanes and the feedback from other members about swim lanes been positive.

Fantastic experience: I just joined in the last month and Karen has already turned me into a serious swimmer/training to be a lifeguard, Lorrie is helping me rebuild muscles and get back into shape (physical training), and Kim/Terry/Nycole make the BEST healthy and great tasting post-workout shakes! In not even a month I am stronger and healthier and I am so thankful for Pinnacle for leading me back on the athletic trail! UPDATE: I am now a certified Lifeguard through ARC and owe much if not all to my training at Pinnacle - in no more than six weeks went from just getting in the pool after prolonged inactivity to competent swimmer and lifeguard!

Fantastic experience: My family and I joined Pinnacle a few weeks ago and we’re all so happy we did. Not only is the facility beautiful, but the staff and benefits are fantastic. I am especially loving the kids clubhouse. I forgot what it was like to drop my younger kids off to play while I get a workout in. The room is adorable and fully stocked with toys and activities. They always have the best time with Miss Darlene and immediately ask when we’ll be coming back. My 5 year old just told me I need to sign her up to stay at kids clubhouse longer.

Fantastic experience: Been there 10 years and it is just getting better every year. I love going there. The employees, instructors, trainers etc. are excellent and very knowledgeable. 2021 still fantastic!!

Fantastic experience: Love the access to the pool, not too crowded good crowd and great personnel. Equipment is new and the locker rooms are newly renovated. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Pinnacle Health & Fitness is the perfect place for me to stay healthy. It's more than a gym because the staff are like family when you get to know them - and so are the other gym members. They're friendly, encouraging, and relatable. The facility itself is very clean. It' modern, yet warm and inviting. In addition to typical weight machines and free weights they have cardio machines, pilates, an indoor heated swimming pool, racquetball courts, saunas & hot tubs, yoga, aerobics classes, spin classes, trx, air yoga, pickle ball, a smoothie bar, and more. If you have children, the childcare is fantastic. Within the facility also reside martial arts classes and a state-of-the-art dance studio. During the summers they have excellent camps. Pinnacle has a wide range of members from young to older. What they all have in common is a desire to be healthy and Pinnacle's staff & personal trainers are ready and very capable of helping them reach their goals! Highly recommended for their cleanliness, atmosphere, classes, equipment, staff, other amenities, and their racquetball courts.

Fantastic experience: My children have gone to the SMILE Summer Camp at Pinnacle Health and Fitness for 2 years and we are so happy with our experience here. Especially this summer with covid-19, I know it was a not an easy decision to open, but the team has done a great job in opening safely, taking all the necessary precautions, and providing much needed relief for working parents and their isolated children. My children come home every day happy and excited to go back the next, even asking to be dropped off earlier than usual. The counselors keep them active and engaged in so many fun activities, both indoors and out. It's clear they take their responsibility of caring for the kids seriously and I trust my children in their care, which is more important now than ever before. Would definitely recommend SMILE Summer Camp to other families. Grateful for Darlene, Thomas, and the whole team of counselors for giving my kids a safe and fun summer!

Fantastic experience: I found Pinnacle through a friend who lives in the area and was honestly really surprised everyone I knew didn’t go there. Pinnacle’s community is one of the most helpful and welcoming gym experiences I’ve had. The whole motto of Pinnacle is to reach “your personal best” which has always been so encouraging. I came to the gym to get my “beach body” back, but honestly the classes are so fun and so community building, I really just started to love working out. I was never the girl who would “just go run” or “just got work out” for fun, and now I find myself waking up at 9 on a Saturday to go swim some laps. The best part of the gym is probably the availability of the pool. The pool itself is always a peaceful and CLEAN environment, which makes it the best place to relieve stress and get some mental quiet. Couldn’t recommend Pinnacle enough. Shout out to the Front Desk staff that always greets me with a smile and a friendly “hello!”

Fantastic experience: We have been members for about 6 years, enjoying the fitness center, small group training, yoga, piyo, and aerial yoga classes. These classes have helped us to weather health issues that have arisen while maintaining active lives, including challenging international travel. The staff has been consistently helpful and hardworking. Then came Covid- the club offered virtual classes to keep us going, outdoor sessions when things got a little better, finally beginning to come back in with a well considered plan. We couldn’t ask for a better place to sweat.

Fantastic experience: The staff at Pinnacle is absolutely incredible! Eric brings such a powerful presence and exuberant charm. He may be young; but his knowledge and precise adjustments make my FULL EXPERIENCE rewarding. The reopening proves their commitment to growth and building a better community

Fantastic experience: Came here with a friend to play Raquetball a few months back and fell in love with the place. It has everything one would ever need. Raquetball, pool, regular gym, classes, child care , camp, sauna and hot tubs. For a single or a family it’s worth the price. Staff is super friendly and attractive. The joint is clean too. During covid they are on top of their safety game too. A few times a year they wave the initial sign up fee. Keep an eye out for that when signing up.

Fantastic experience: Love the pool the best. I love swimming laps and also doing the aqua aerobics classes when they used to have them! Now, I swim laps three times a week for an hour each time and also do some aerobics with the aqua dumbbells. The pool is clean and refreshing. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They send a lap schedule every Friday so you can book lanes for the next week. We are socially distanced with lap lanes and chairs to put your belongings. They have signs for one-way walking through the building and around the pool. They are good with keeping everything clean and safe.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of the club for 12 years. The facility has a warm, family feeling environment that makes you want to come back day after day. The instructors make you feel welcome and always willing to answer questions and push you during your workouts. During this time of uncertainty and social distancing, Pinnacle Health and Fitness has gone above and beyond to provide their members with some sense of normalcy. The instructors have worked very hard to provide live, at home workouts that anyone can do with whatever equipment they have. As a member that frequents the facility at least 5-6 times a week, having this option has been a tremendous relief and outlet. And during this, they have suspended all billing for memberships. Another highlight of the club is certainly the babysitting. When I had my second child, he had a very difficult time with separation. Miss Darlene worked with me everyday to address the separation anxiety and in no time at all, I was able to leave him. Her patience, as well as all of the team members, goes unmatched. It is truly a gym like no other!

Fantastic experience: Our son took the private Intensive Swim class to practice before taking a Lifeguard training class. Karen focused the lessons around the pretest requirements. Between her knowledge of the Red Cross lifeguard instruction, her enthusiasm, and teen-friendly personality, my son passed the pretest with ease. We highly recommend Karen and Pinnacle's swim intensive lessons!

Fantastic experience: Have been a member for 2+ years. Have had memberships at various clubs over the years and Pinnacle definitely rates among the best. The staff is always very welcoming and helpful. The renovations have been inconvenient for sure but well worth the wait. The new equipment and free weight area is fantastic and spacious. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Haven't been here in a while but I bet they're even better now with the renovations (which included the name change) that they've done/are working on now. The people here are really good! I actually know the son of the owners from school! I came here a lot when I was little as I took swim lessons for a few years with Ms. Heather and she was a great instructor! I also, through being in the HHS band and church at St. Joe's, know Thomas, who I heard works at the summer camp here. He's an awesome guy!

Fantastic experience: I really think the team here does a great job of providing a clean environment with quality classes and great customer service. I'm consistently surprised and impressed with their incorporation of what's on trend from programs like TRX, barre, small group fitness etc. I frequently use the babysitting service in the mornings and Kim and Darlene are caring and experienced moms who I trust my children with. I'm also very impressed with the administrative response when I've suggested or inquired about ways to improve their facility and operations. The team is always addressing issues and concerns with care.

Fantastic experience: My boyfriend began training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu about 2 years ago at Hillsborough Family Martial Arts located in Pinnacle Health and Fitness. He would come home after training with the biggest smile on his face, always prepared with a story of the welcoming staff, the community he had become a part of, and the facility that you have to see to believe. After hearing all of his stories of how wonderful it was to be a part of a gym like this, i had to see it for myself. He brought me one night and i began a 3 day free pass. Sure enough i was greeted with the friendly hellos he raved about, a lobby full of smiling faces, and the most positive energy that i have ever experienced in a gym setting. I was shocked as i entered this hidden gem that made me feel like family the minute i stepped through those doors. As i ventured throughout Pinnacle i was blown away by all the programs and amenities they had to offer. It was a place that you didnt have to make excuses whether or not you wanted to go to the gym that day. If you didnt want to lift weights, you could take a group class. If you didnt want to work out and just relax, you could sit in the sauna and whirlpool. If you wanted to do some cardio but not on the treadmill, guess what? They have a salt water pool for lap swimming. If you need a little motivation, BAM, they offer small group and personal training. All of this, and to top it off, it was a place both my boyfriend and I could do what we love, together, all in one amazing place. The gym has turned into something i look forward to everyday all because i am a part of this community, filled with inspiration, positivity, and support to be the best version of myself. I would recommend Pinnacle to everyone and anyone, it has changed my life in more ways i could ever write in a Google review. Go check it out. I promise you wont be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Pinnacle Health and Fitness is by far the best facility I have had the pleasure of joining. There is a wide array of classes offered for all skill levels, and I'm so excited to see what the future holds with the completion of the renovations. This is one of the only gyms I have joined where I feel like the staff, teachers, and trainers really and truly care about my health and overall well-being. There is something here for anybody and I'm so glad to have found a place like Pinnacle!

Fantastic experience: Great family health club. They've got everything you need from a sauna in each locker room, to racquetball courts, to swim lessons and personal training. The weight room has all the stuff you need (squat racks, tons of machines) and is almost never crowded. Friendly staff and I hear they're expanding this summer. Always enjoy my workouts here, would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I just recently joined HRC Fitness and I am very pleased with this great family health club! I really enjoyed that they have a fitness center with well kept up equipment, very knowledgeable and friendly personal trainers and front desk staff, a heated pool, and I am able to use the sauna before or after my workout! Before I joined, I really liked that they gave me a tour, answered all my questions and took their time to explain all the amenities that HRC Fitness has to offer! I would highly recommend HRC Fitness!

Fantastic experience: My family has been a part of HRC for almost 10 years. The improvements that have been made to the facility and services in that time are incredible, but the constants have always been the staff. No matter what, the trainers, front desk staff, and teachers have remained friendly, knowledgeable and consistent. Because of these people, there is a sense of family and community that is an inherent part of HRC. Beyond that, there really is something for everyone: group classes, personal training, a pool, racquetball leagues, and kids' programs. The Kids Clubhouse has been worth it's weight in gold, as my child isn't in school full time. She loves going in to see Darlene and Kim in the mornings. It's a comfort knowing she is someplace safe so we can focus on our own well being. In talking to friends and family over the years, it would seem HRC is a wonderful anomaly. A community hub for families and individuals that focuses on overall well being and health, with a variety of services that can meet just about anyone's needs. We are lucky to have them in Hillsborough.

Fantastic experience: HRC Fitness is a club where all of your family's needs can be filled whether it is a fitness club, group training, racquetball, swimming, dance, karate, you name it, you can find it here. Most of all, the staff is friendly, helpful and attentive. The trainers in the fitness area are always willing to assist and answer your questions. There may be clubs that are cheaper, but none that are better.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at HRC almost 10 years now..Gregg(owner) has done a marvelous job in remodeling the gym since taking it over n continues to upgrade equipment n the facility as needed. Furthermore upon entering HRC the front desk is always friendly n polite as is the entire HRC staff! Ps hitting the Boost Cafe is a must if u haven't tried their many choices of superb shakes!

Fantastic experience: My family and I joined Pinnacle a few weeks ago. We are beyond happy with our choice. The staff and instructors are wonderful. You are always greeted with a smile. The group fitness class selection is great. I also want to acknowledge the Kids Clubhouse. I have two children under the age of three and always know that they will be well taken care of when I drop them off. They always have such a wonderful time and never want to leave!

Fantastic experience: My son has attended this summer camp for years. He absolutely loves it. The staff is so kind and engaging. They keep him very busy...so busy he comes home exhausted which shows us this is money well spent and summer memories made!

Fantastic experience: AWESOME - As a recent retiree, I found this golden nugget as a Silver Sneaker member. This "active" center demonstrates a community atmosphere with very experienced staff and trainers who support each one of their members. So worth my 16 mi commute. Unbelievable amount of exercise programs available for all levels. Everyone is welcomed and even the experienced members assist with newbie set up and involvement. No need for fancy gym clothes here, just healthy fun and friendship. My personal trainer, Sammy is beyond 5 stars . She keeps me motivated and is "mean" in a very positive way. She pushes me beyond what I think I can't do and I do it. Even if it is beating my previous clock time (in seconds) for that blank. Sammy has my hourly workouts planned to the minute and each visit has a variety exercises with a focus on the rights areas. What a motivator and worth every penny! She even provides a hands on stretch routine after wards. Pure luxury. This staff works very hard to provide top service and your feedback is very important to them. HRC shows a sincere welcome for single, family and senior members. Diane Vasko Silver Sneaker Member 3/17

Fantastic experience: Great place for the whole family! My children LOVE summer camp there. Counselors and staff are great with the kids, trips planned out really well & very organized from week to week. Thanks to HRC for another memorable summer!!

Fantastic experience: Great clean gym and great staff! They have a ton of classes and a pool. The pool has open swim for people wanting to do laps and if you have kids they have a great swim school with really great swim instructors. They have a café serving shakes of all kinds. I really enjoy being apart of HRC.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of many of the other "big box" fitness franchises in the past and became disenchanted with my overall experience. Because of this, I had been unable to properly maintain a healthier lifestyle............... until now ! I began my membership on June 1, 2017 and never looked back. With diet and the proper atmosphere to work out in, I have managed to lose 30 lbs. to date and have never felt better. The facility itself is conducive to this type of outcome. The work out equipment is superior, racket ball courts, facilities spotless, sauna/whirlpool and indoor swimming pool make for the individual looking for the perfect "one stop shopping" experience. The entire staff could not be more helpful or accommodating to your individual needs not to mention the friendliest people I have encountered in a long time ! I have found my Nirvana in Hillsborough !!!!!!!!! Thanks to ALL for making this one of the easiest and best decisions in my life. : )

Fantastic experience: Pros: 1. The staffs are nice and friendly. They are well-trained and always ready to help the member. 2. They offers modern group fitness classes such as drums alive and TRX. But these free class (included in the membership) are only offered during the daytime. 3. The child care room is bright and clean. The toys are well-maintained. The child care staffs are really amazing with kids of all age. 4. They have family locker room with very good-sized family shower rooms. 5. You always get text message about class cancellation or facility closure. This allows you to plan ahead. Cons: 1. It gets very crowded during late afternoon/early evening, especially when kids/parents are here for dance studio. It is not easy to find a seat to sit down and a little hard to walk through the hall way. 2. The entrance and the child care room are both on the second floor, without an elevator. That means no stroller access. It becomes a challenge to carry a pre-walker. 3. The locker room is dated but I heard they plan to remodel it soon. I still give this place 5 stars because I don't expect any place to be 100% perfect. Overall, HRC is a very good gym.

Fantastic experience: We have put our kids in the HRC camp 2 years running. The program and staff are excellent. Darlene, the Camp Coordinator, has made the experience phenomenal. We have a Pre-K daughter who has some separation anxiety (drop-offs at Daycare are very difficult), but Darlene worked hard with our youngest to make it work. She worked miracles and now on year 2 of the camp, our daughter looks forward to going to camp instead of crying. The camp directors Mr. Val (2016) and Mr. Thomas (2017) were both great and very accommodating as well. Darlene gave a ton of special attention to our girls and we cant say enough good things about her. I thought it was perhaps "only us" but I recently witnessed another mother struggling with drop-off and the child was inconsolable. Darlene came from behind the counter and got on her knees to talk to the girl face-to-face. Within a few minutes she had worked her magic and won the child over. Overall I would definitely recommend the camp program to anybody looking for a summer camp in the area.

Fantastic experience: My kids attended HRC camp this year for the first time. I have nothing but great things to say about it. They loved everything and so did I. They were able to do yoga, art, karate, swim, gymnastics, as well as all the trips and in house specials on Wednesdays. My son, who usually doesn't like camp, loved it as well. He actually looked forward to going everyday. The only, and I mean only, con was the swimming. My daughter's group was able to use a large portion or all of the pool at swim time; my son's group could not. He didn't like that or the amount of time allotted to swim. Maybe next year you guys can give them more swim time and allow more of the pool use so kids aren't on top of each other. Otherwise, I loved the staff, Darlene, Thomas and all the counselors. They truly were wonderful and always smiling. Thank you all for such a great summer. We will be seeing you next year!

Fantastic experience: I joined HRC Fitness a year ago and have enjoyed getting back in shape. The instructors are great and there are a variety of classes to choose from not to mention lots of equipment, a pool, locker rooms with hot tubs, and racquetball/pickleball. And they are expanding the facility. A Hillsborough treasure.
