great concept but...

by offandaway

i never really felt comfortable there. i hated that the weren't any shower facilities, and i thought some of the staff was pretentious. one coach made fun of me for using light weights, and i didn't want to go back! i wish other gyms had classes like this, because i liked the idea of it, but the staff kept me from going back (and the price -- it's pretty steep!)

• Pros: great classes
• Cons: staff and lack of locker rooms

The Best

by mnp19107

I read all of the reviews below before trying Fusion and I have to admit that I was somewhat apprehensive walking in for the first time. Based on the negative comments below I was afraid that because I am a beginner when it comes to fitness training (that is my nice way of saying I'm chubby) that I would be treated differently that the more athletic members. But, I decided to give it a try...I am completely hooked!! The staff really go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. They encourage your progress and motivate you to keep it challenging, whether you are a beginner or advanced.

The staff is unbelievably friendly and helpful, the workouts are great, and the atmosphere is nice...what more can you ask for?

• Pros: The coaches, the workout formats.
• Cons: It is a little pricey, but worth it.

Antithesis of Pretentious and Rude! Super Awesome Friendly Nice Gym - the Staff is GREAT!

by louisiffer

I'm not sure if the reviewer below walked in on a really bad day? The gym is AMAZING. The people are so nice, the coaches there truly care if you're making progress, getting a good workout, and enjoying yourself when you go there. Everybody knows everyone's name there - how can that be pretentious? I give it 5 stars; I have been going since June and just bought at 6 month membership - it's the best. They have a free trial so don't just judge by what's written here, if you're truly motivated to find an excellent workout in Center City do the trail thing - you'll find that it's NOT pretentious and no one there is rude to anyone.

• Pros: Three workouts combined into one killer workout - great concept that works.
• Cons: If you're looking for a "bargain" gym do 12th Street - but this place is worth the extra $.
