If you are vaccinated that's nice but it won't stop the spreed of the virus. I offered to get tested everytime I go to the GYM. They refused because it's not possible to deal with the administration part of that. Really ? If you have a medical examination you don't need to prove a negative covid test.

I have been going there for 5 years now. Love the place. Especially the pool and the sauna. Reasonably priced club.

Wow WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. After one month of a month-to-month agreement that I called and emailed to cancel multiple times, they are calling and emailing me telling me I owe them money. Almost impossible to reach. Managers have never called me back or responded to my emails, yet have the audacity to send me $129 bills, which tells me they continued to illegally charge my card for MONTHS! Do not trust these thieves with your credit card!

I hesitate to leave this review, because I'm selfish and don't want other people to find out about how awesome Trifit is and make it overly crowded like Equinox. As a former NCAA athlete, LFL player, and triathlete, fitness has always been a huge part of my life. I started working out at Trifit in 2018 when I got sick of dealing with the huge crowds corporate culture and outrageous fees at Equinox. Talk about overrated! Trifit is clean, not overly crowded, full of perfect equipment, spa grade amenities, friendly staff and it is owned by a real family not a corporation. I'm sorry
