In Short
This well-worn club offers four racquetball courts, strength training and cardio rooms, an indoor pool, saunas and the first indoor rock-climbing wall in Philly. In warmer weather, climb the steps to a rooftop sundeck… Read Full Editorial
Those poor gym babies. by decoguy via Citysearch on 5/26/2008
What a bunch of Moanies. I've been a member of this club on & off since it opened. (20ish years) When the current group took this place over it was a joke. It now holds it's own with clubs 3x more expensive. Of the 20-30 clubs i've…
Thanks Pennsport by sazzah via Citysearch on 4/22/2008
I have been a member at Pennsport gym off and on for 5 years trying to fight my life-long weight issues. For those 5 years I have been on my couch more than at the gym. This past winter I decided to take my health and fitness routine…
Taebo, taebo, taebo... This place rocks! by sandy1978 via Citysearch on 11/1/2007
I join this gym for the taebo program.\r
\r
Michael Armstrong (He wants to be know as Mikel? why? I don't know) is the best instructor in Philly.\r

Where can you go for a "kick butt' work out? Where can you go for a live taebo class…
Glad my membership ended! by coffeelover530 via Citysearch on 10/27/2007
My membership ended last month and to be honest, i am so happy to say Goodbye.\r
The gym feels so depressing and lacks the motivation to want to workout - definitely in need of a makeover.\r
After reading some of the past reviews - I was…
Great club with amazing trainers by chewierocks via Citysearch on 9/24/2007
So Mr Bsling that reviewed this club just this month is really BS'ing you. Funny how this person has reviewed 5 other healthclubs and hated them all. Maybe you can't please the unpleaseable. ALSO other clubs will not even let you cancel…
Do NOT JOIN! by singlebsling via Citysearch on 9/14/2007
This gym does not stand by its own contract. Join at your own risk! \r
I paid in full a 1 year membership - and after a month I realized its a crummy, filthy gym. \r
Locker rooms are in poor shape, broken sink/toilet, outdated and poor…
Great Neighborhood Gym with something for EVERYONE by johnb629 via Citysearch on 5/24/2007
I recently joined Pennsport Gym switching from many years @ 12th Street. My 1st impression was a little shocking. The gym needed a lot of work. After a few work outs, I realized that the gym was under going a major face lift.\r
\r
Over…

A Filthy Gym Run by Thieves who Stole my Money by Greg G via Insider Pages on 5/3/2007
Pennsport Athletic Club? In a word (or two): thieving scumbags.\r
\r
Oh, this place . . . filthy locker rooms, poor service, outdated machines, and a swimming pool with things growing in it.\r
\r
Under a special promotion the gym was…

Shabby Little Gym by ayoung25 via Citysearch on 3/15/2007
When I first started working out here a few years ago, I really dug this little gym. It was worn, but clean, and more shabby then shiny. But then again...so am I! There was an absence of the sort of lycra-clad snootery you find at trendier…
Best price in town, 24 hours, always improving by dsmeltz via Citysearch on 3/5/2007
What more can I say? Are there "better" gyms in town? If by that you mean ones with more staff, shinier equipment and an owner who lives in another state or who is never around, then yes. They also cost almost twice as much, are not…
Pay a few extra dollars to work out in a real gym by naughtymonkey via Citysearch on 2/18/2007
It used to be okay, if not a little junky and outdated. For the past 5+ months they have been remodeling (without any prior notice to patrons.) They use an "independent contractor" so he may or may not be working any specific hours. They…
