Edgewater Athletic Club

Experiencia fantástica: This fitness club is awesome! I've had a membership for four years. The staff is friendly and helpful. One year I tried LA Fitness because it was a little cheaper and boy was that a mistake. I rejoined EAC after four months and am happy to be home again. I also want to comment on Schmid Etienne, a personal trainer here. He is the real deal. I never wanted to pay for a trainer because I thought I knew enough and it was just a matter of working out, right?? Wrong!! He really taught me how to eat, how to perfect my form, and how to work hard. I lost ten pounds the first month, which I had not been able to do in the fifteen years I've been working out steadily. If you are looking for a really knowledgeable trainer who is scientific and motivating, don't hesitate to pay for him. Tell him Lynn sent you :). It will change your life!! This is not to say the other trainers, Kelly and John, etc. are not good, they are, it's just that I've had experience with Schmid.

Experiencia fantástica: Great Gym, very cool historic building with awesome gym. Nice size pool and cardio area as well. Kelly is great PT and awesome place to be. Would love to go back.

Experiencia fantástica: Have been a member for years... very nice, professional staff. Clean, great atmosphere. Love the pool, love the steam room, the whole package. Minor complaints: sometimes kids fill the pool when I want to swim, for example. But overall a great place!

Experiencia fantástica: I really love this gym. I use to work out at xsport and the only time I could work out there to have access to any of the weights was either 5 am or 11pm because it was always over crowded. But here I have access to everything any time I go in. Also everyone's really nice and I swear they have the cleanest gym pool I've ever seen. Love the crossfit equipment too!!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been a member of this athletic club since October and have absolutely loved it. The staff is always there to truly greet me at any hour and they are always on top of any questions or needs I have. The personal training team is always helping me if I have questions or concerns with any physical or nutritional things. I love being able to see the same people and build relationships and constantly be motivated to work hard to see the results i am looking for. It has been a great experience.

Experiencia fantástica: nice indoor warm swimming pool for $12 guest pass till 7.45pm

Experiencia fantástica: The most affordable swimming lessons

Experiencia fantástica: Staff is very friendly, the weight room is everything I need and more, also no initiation fee.

Experiencia fantástica: Good pool and swim instructors

Experiencia fantástica: Best swim class everrrr! Pawel and Alison are great instructors who will push you to break ur limit and unleash the potential. Paul at the front desk is very friendly. The best swimming place in edgewater.

Experiencia fantástica: This so far my favorite GYM. It’s nice and clean, never crowded and as a member you can bring for free your kids to swim in open hours. Also staff is nice and friendly and manager too. Other classes are included as yoga, sauna, zoomba etc. They provide personal fitness trainers and swimming lessons too. I’ve been going here for past 7 years.

Experiencia fantástica: Loved it for swim classes for kids with each level from beginner till the athletic

Experiencia positiva: Edgewater on a regular basis is a really awesome space to workout. It's an elegant looking space that helps super skinny guys like me feel less awkward in the weight room. I think that also takes off the feeling of being intimidated by super athletic weight lifters. The only reason it's four stars as opposed to five is that communication and sign up can sometimes be difficult.

Experiencia fantástica: A perfect neighborhood athletic center, replete with all of the amenities you need to accomplish your health and fitness goals, including the neighborhood's only Olympic size pool. Great group fitness room for classes, cardio equipment, strength training equipment, and dare I mention the fanatic staff... you are always welcome and treated as part of a unique experience, set in a 1920's atmosphere, with hints of original fitness origins mixed with cutting edge classes and workshops to help you enjoy the best of both worlds without the need to impress anyone while you achieve your goals. Flexible membership rates and services make your goals always within reach. Stop in and bask in the experience, and achieve your goals.

Experiencia positiva: Pool is pretty nice. Locker room has seen better days. Good prices. Nice staff. Usually not crowded

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym, historic building, great 5 lane pool. I love this gym. Been going for 4 years and I still love it. Great staff.

Experiencia fantástica: This is a club. Where you can do athletic things. And it is indeed near water.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent, thoughtful service - really look after their members, especially Rachel - thanks!

Experiencia fantástica: My Son had Swimming Lessons here and we love it!

Experiencia fantástica: This athletic club is above and beyond great. Of you are looking for a gym to join with great swimming and workout options this is it!

Experiencia fantástica: Nice Managers

Experiencia fantástica: Great

Experiencia positiva: My son has been taking group swimming class here for more than 4 years and he loves it. Allison and Pawel are the best coaches Facilities are fine here although the locker rooms are old and can definitely use some update.

Experiencia positiva: Affordable neighborhood gym. Not the fanciest or the hippest, but a nice pool, good variety of classes, and all the equipment you probably need. They have lots and lots of swim classes, which means that it can sometimes be hard to find just the right time to swim. Front desk staff is hit or miss, but people are generally nice and leave you alone.

Experiencia fantástica: It has got everything from indoor pool to very spacious gym

Experiencia fantástica: Great place. Barely crowded. Everyone is nice and friendly.

Experiencia fantástica: The gym where people know your name. I've been going here for a year and I love it. The staff who work there are legendary, from the swim lesson instructors who have taught kids until they grew into adults to the class leaders who really know how to push tough workouts. It never gets too crowded; I came from a suburb where Lifetime Fitness was the dominant gym and there would be crowds around benches, none of that here. The pool and lessons are a great place to get started in a swimming journey. Muscle Blast is a fantastic challenge for sadistic athletes (although it might be ending soon...). In all, a good balance of classes. The weight room is in an old ballroom, so that's pretty cool. They have a CrossFit style centerpiece: a squat rack/pull up bar complex with barbells and med ball targets. 8 fully equipped squat racks and a landmine station is definitely enough for their clientele. From what I've seen in the weight room, there haven't been any instances where members have been inconsiderate or intimidated. To borrow a term from my "favorite" franchise, there is no need for a lunk alarm here. Coming from the behemoth that is Lifetime Fitness, you would think I miss the level of service or amenities from a huge club. And while you don't have a cycling studio, pickup basketball games or a rock climbing wall, I never used or needed those things more than for novelty anyways. Plus, there is still towel service!
