Great place, I have been a member for years now and the staff is great. Lori, Rich, and Lindsey and the rest of the staff are great and really push u to be better and get better while making the workouts fun during the classes. Very clean also and the best part..... its locally owned I believe so thats also a plus to support a locally owned business.

I am so happy that I joined Vaunt in 2020. It is just what I needed coming out of the pandemic. The staff is always helpful and polite. The gym is very clean and has every piece of equipment you could possibly need. I have done monthly training programs with trainer Lindsey which have been fantastic. Lindsey has been accommodating answering my inquiries and sharing her expertise to help me reach my goals. She also teaches a few of the group classes which are amazing. The energy and encouragement from the trainers and fellow members are like no other gym I have experienced. After those tough workouts/classes you can also relax in the sauna located in the locker rooms or grab a delicious protein shake and relax in the very comfortable seating area. If you are looking for a gym i highly recommend Vaunt for your fitness needs.

Have been coming to this gym since 2010 and I can honestly say that this has been the best its ever been. The place just continues to grow and get better and better. The equipment is new and always clean and the hours have improved tremendously. All of the staff is always so nice and friendly, especially Patrick! He makes the best smoothies :)I recommend to all of my friends that they give this place a try!

You get what you pay for, and at Vaunt it’s great service in a high class facility. Vaunt gives you what other chain fitness centers do not. You are greeted when you arrive (always a pleasure when it’s Maddie in front) and you are given a personalized experience. The staff is helpful (personally I enjoy when Joe W assists me with my fitness questions). I have tried many gyms and I think Vaunt is exceptional. In a time with cleanliness is paramount, Vaunt goes above and beyond to make sure their members feel safe and cares for! During the pandemic the staff at Vaunt checked in personally with members to assure their needs were being met (and this was when we weren’t paying membership fees and the gym was closed). Overall great experience! Joe, Maddie and the Vaunt team does a great job!

Lori is a fantastic trainer/coach with great sense of humor so every session is filled with laugh and positive attitude which empower you to work out even harder. Very professional coaching and definitely will help you to achieve your fitness goals! Lori also loves to throw in some competition in her class workouts which is awesome! Everyone I know can’t get enough of her classes! Vaunt Fitness is my second home, everyone there is friendly and professional, love the place and staff. Strongly recommend Vaunt Fitness! Everyone should come out and try it out, give a shout-out to Lori and she will show you around the gym.

Great Neighborhood Gym! I’ve been to all the gyms in the area and nothing compares to Vaunt. Super clean, equipment is extremely well kept and it’s also kept up to date, and the people there (gym environment) is perfect. New upgrades to the bathrooms make the post gym experience feel like you are in a spa. From the gym manager (Joe) to the trainers and staff, they are all great people and will listen to any concerns. You get what you pay for at Vaunt and if you take the classes and listen to the trainers you will get the results that you want, guaranteed.

Can’t say enough about the staff! Especially Maddie, who is up front most days I walk in to workout. She always has a friendly smile on her face and is always willing to help me with whatever it is I may ask of her. She is always doing something pertaining to the maintenance and handling of the gym, so that members are walking into a friendly environment, clean appearance and somebody who always has a professional attitude. Thanks for going above and beyond! Just so you know……your appreciated and it makes a difference.

Been a member for awhile now and can say that this gym is community. The staff are friendly and helpful.Lori and Lindsey are awesome trainers and have made my trainings a rewarding experience. Vaunt is more expensive than the franchise gyms but you get your moneys worth. During covid I felt very comfortable coming to the gym and the staff worked hard at keeping the equipment and gym clean. The preventive measures put in place were comforting too during these difficult times. I love the enhancements that Vaunt has made and I am pretty sure there are more upgrades coming. I look forward coming to the community for a good workout. Keep it up Vaunt!

Great staff and protein shakes Very clean environment, members are so friendly! Coaches go out of their way to help and teach you the right moves. Everything could be modified no worries there. Ask for Lori she is great with workouts, and guiding you with nutritional needs!!! You should also check out boxing and barbells Coach Rich is fantastic and funny!!

I love working out at Vaunt! Everyone is very encouraging and helpful. I’m not very confident with gym equipment and going to the gym, but Maddie is there in the mornings and helps with anything I need. Patsy F. is also encouraging and supportive, especially when I don’t feel like working out! She convinced me to do the Spring into Summer challenge and I love how it’s going so far!

Would give Vaunt 10 out of 5 stars as they go above and beyond for their members. I’ve never been as consistent with a gym routine as I have been since joining the Vaunt community.Classes are challenging yet fun and always something new so they don’t get routine and boring !All of the coaches and staff are friendly and motivating ! Thank you Lori, Jordan, Tim, Rich, Patsy, Nick, and Aaron for a wonderful gym experience !

It’s a great gym, very clean but they raised their prices year by year without a notice.Also i was getting small charges during the month like 3.99 or something like that all that separate from my monthly payment. I guess one of the employees was buying some energy drinks using my account…

I have been member of this facility since it opened, it is only getting better, the community-based fitness facility does whatever it can to help its members. The place is clean, constantly updated. The staff is more than willing to help out the members, The price is reasonable for what you receive, Take a tour of this facility see what you think, it is an asset to the Garfield Ridge community and to the people that it serves.

Can I just say that Lindsey is the best personal trainer! I have been working with her since September of last year. Not only does she help you improve physically but she always makes sure you are improving mentally as well. She is so understanding when it comes to reaching your goals and will ALWAYS push you to reach them. If you’re looking for anyone this is the place and this is the trainer you are looking for.

The best gym!! I have tried MANY gyms, and I think Vaunt is exceptional. ALL of the coaches/staff are AMAZING; but Patsy, Steph, Lori, and Lindsey are exceptional! Vaunt literally sets the bar for fitness gyms, and I’ll never be able to find another gym like Vaunt. They are continually making improvements to the facility; adding equipment; hosting challenges and competitions; and most importantly, they listen to their members. Plus, the environment is so welcoming and friendly! It literally feels like a family! I can’t say enough good things about Vaunt!!

Joe W and staff created innovative ways to keep clients engaged during 2020 lockdown and Vaunt seems to have come back bigger and better than ever. Very impressed with responsiveness to questions on safely rehabbing after injury. Staff is also very diligent about carrying over health/safety protocols and looking out for all clients. Vaunt staff also are very active in the community which is refreshing to see from a local business.

Where do we start with this gym. I’d say by starting with not just calling it your everyday gym. It’s beyond just that. This is a community of people driven, focused, and passionate about health and fitness. Alongside you have a team of people always openly ready to assist you whenever its needed. Vaunt Fitness has helped shape my fitness journey into something I would have never thought possible. I couldn’t be anymore grateful for it. To anyone looking for something more than a gym. I will whole heartedly recommend Vaunt Fitness without any hesitation. Lastly, I’d like to give a tremendous shoutout to my Coach, Lindsey Walls! With her help, she has helped me break through many plateaus. She made me realize you can go way beyond what you believe your limits are with some assistance. Through her personalized structured workouts and open scheduling we’re able to knock out my goals with each passing day, week, and month. Knowing that this isn’t a sprint, but a marathon of a journey. If you’re looking for guidance, I greatly recommend Lindsey Walls as a Coach.Vaunt Fitness, my home away from home.

I always loved going to Vaunt classes, but then was devastated when COVID hit and shut everything down! Vaunt did a great job continuing workouts online, by still having challenges, and offering personalized training as well as equipment rentals! It’s def more than a gym and more like a family! I love ALL the staff but Maddie, Patsy, Lori, and Coach Steph are exceptional! I can always count on them!

I was skeptical signing my 11 yrs son up with a personal trainer and decided to see what Vaunt Fitness had to offer. The first impressions when I walked thru the doors were very welcoming. The staff were greeting, professional and right away took interest in what I was looking for for my son. Joe took the time to not only answer my questions, but listened to my son on the goals he wanted to achieve, walked my son thru the gym and explained the different workout areas. When Joe said he had the perfect trainer, my son was eager to get started. Nick reached out the very next day to get things rolling. The first day we met Nick, my son was excited, but nervous. Nick was very professional. He immediately listened and took interest in what my son wanted to achieve. Nick is very patient. He takes the time to explain each training session, demonstrating proper use of the equipment and technique, and works with you. At the end of each session the words Great Job keeps my son motivated and wanting to continue. It has been about 3 weeks since my sons fitness journey began and he looks forward to going to the gym. Not only has my son gotten stronger, his confidence and endurance has increased. THANK YOU NICK!!!My son wanted to say: From a few weeks of going there with a personal trainer, it is awesome. My trainer listens to me to help me succeed. They have many machines, tools and items to help reach my goals. They also have a very kind staff. Thank you Nick, see you at the session. Thank you to all the staff for making us feel welcome and part of the Vaunt Fitness Family!

Other people have said it better than me, Vaunt is too expensive!! It seems so odd to me that a gym can charge less and have newer equipment than vaunt. Lifetime and Score are far superior and worth the drive. All the weights and running/biking stuff is very old. A lot of the bigger gyms seem to have equipment with tvs and cooling systems in them, which seems much more modern than what vaunt is offering. I cant justify the price. I do not recommend this gym.

Been a member for a few years paying for 2 accounts. $100 per month. I wanted to switch the person on the 2nd account because the person that was currently on it would no longer be able to go. Vaunt wanted $100 for the switch, saying it was a new member fee. I have been paying 2 accounts for 2 people and I paid the new member fees when they were opened. Why would I give them $100 just so they can take a picture of someone and add them in the system. The whole process takes 3 minutes tops. I couldve not brought another person and reduced my accounts to 1, but because they tried to pull this now they have 0 accounts from me. Not handing over an extra $100 just because. I really liked the gym but theyve been pushing the costs recently.

As late New Years resolutions start: THIS IS NOT YOUR GYM!As someone who has been a member of Vaunt Fitness for a while, its a shame to see what it has become. I’m not writing this as someone who is dwelling in the past, but as a southside resident who just wants a local gym to workout in. Vaunt currently holds the title of being “The Only Gym In Town” so they take advantage of their members by charging whatever they want. When I originally signed up I was paying almost half of the current price of the now $60 a month. Needless renovations that have not really benefited myself as a member, the treadmills are ancient but I can now watch TV while washing my hands or use a dirty foam roller?It seems any time a voice or concern is raised, there is no one there to answer it. No worker at the front area ever has the same answer or acts like you are bothering them. No manager is ever present, I call and no one can ever direct me to an answer, let alone a manager, or you get a business card making me have to call or email which is exactly what I’m not trying to do, again $60 a month. This has been extremely nerve racking considering I, along with a couple of my other friends who used to be members there, have been CHARGED AGAIN AND AGAIN wrong amounts. Even getting a straight answer from a nonexistent manager is a task in itself.This was a gym that once seemed very clean, but has since gotten down right GROSS!!! They added a sauna recently and it’s disgusting and always has sweat stains, the treadmills are dated and most equipment has sweat or stains. This is no way to justify raising their price so high, $60 for a small space and a dirty facility.The staff there also seem not to care to tell other members to wear masks. My wife and I have noticed it seems the majority of the younger crowd seems to not wear their masks properly or at all. There is no one monitoring or enforcing, and it seems like the environment where anything goes.I would not recommend joining this gym. It is a shame because it is very close, but it seems that they are very aware of that and took advantage of their members quickly, mind you this is during a pandemic and in a working class neighborhood, not the Hamptons. $60 a month and a large enrollment fee with yearly fees gets you: A small gym, a dirty gym, a maskless gym, a management free gym. But hey, “It’s the only gym in town.” The drive over to another gym and giving money to an actual small mom and pop business is the next step.

Review №78

I canceled my membership end of July 2020. I was told that I had to physically come into the gym to cancel so that I could sign off on it. I did this. Since it was after the 15th of the month, I was told I would still need to pay for August 2020. I was okay with that and understood that it was their policy. September 1, 2020 comes along and my credit card is billed again $52.50. I called the manager Maddie multiple times throughout September and she kept telling me 5-7 days it would be removed. She took no responsibility for the charge and blamed it on their financial institution. It is now September 15 and I am furious because the charge has not been removed. I call Maddie back and she tells me its probably MY bank thats taking so long. MY BANK!? After Multiple phone calls to Maddie the September 1st charged of $52.50 is removed September 18. October 1, 2020 comes along and I find that Vaunt took the money again from my credit card. This company is stealing from its customers and needs to be reported to the BBB. I called Maddie back Oct 1, 2020 and the young man on the phone told me she was late to work and wasnt in yet. I asked him if this was happening to everyone who attempts to cancel and he said I cant speak of that. At this point I am exhausted. I called my bank and they were able to block Vaunt from stealing any more money in the future from my account and they will be disputing the Oct 1st 2020 charge for me. I refuse to go back and forth with Maddie again and her unprofessionalism. I can only imagine how much money this gym has stolen from people that canceled their membership and havent bother to check their statements. If this happens to you please go through your bank and have them block the merchant as I did. I would not waste any time dealing with the manager.

I was a member of Vaunt Fitness for about a total of two years and utilized nearly every accommodation they have to offer. If price didnt matter in my review, Vaunt Fitness would easily be a 5 star gym. However, Vaunt is very pricey with any of their memberships. The extra costs and fees knock this gym down a whole two stars. You can get many, if not all the accommodations that Vaunt offers elsewhere for much cheaper.Short version: Vaunt Fitness is a great gym, but a poor money investment.

Review №88

So, here are my issues that my friends and I have experienced.I needed a gym close to home, so obviously.. vaunt.When I asked 4-6 of my friends their experiences with vaunt they all told me the SAME thing.1) the hours suck for the price2) they are mostly for classes.3) it is far too expensive for what you get.4) their guest policy is terrible.BUT me being an optimistic, i signed up anyways.WOW - DO I REGRET IT.So my first issue is, when i walked in to sign upIt was very awkward and the staff was not helpful as they kept telling me they had no information available on classes or packets or pricing. UMMM OK?So a week later, i come back in for information and wait to speak with someone to hand me a paper that did not make sense to me and could not answer really any questions. Finally a manager is available and gives me a tour, goes over pricing , and tells me that guests can come in , just add them in on the vaunt app.So, for the convince of a two minute walk and availability to bring a guest in.. i signed up.The first time I tried to come in with a guest, i was told no such thing was allowed. Not even once.So, we had to leave.They said they had never heard of that.Also, when i signed up they told me i could pick a free class to try out, when i tried to schedule kick boxing class the person behind the desk told me that my only option is a free smoothie, no class was available.UMMM OK?SO. When i tried coming into the gym in the morning, all the machines were in use from the classes , when i went to go try to do free weights or use machines and had questions.. no one was available to help me understand any of the machines that i was not familiar with.For $50.00 a month and an extra $75.00 every 3 months ... this is a hard regret that I now have. Also all several of my friends have ended their memberships as well and we have all found far more accommodating gyms for 1/5 of the price.Vaunt. Never. Again. Also, i am only giving two stars because it was at least very clean.

Great gym, around 40 a month if you split the Duo memebership with someone.Clean environment, a very good variety of work out machines. Mostly do body building and I never feel like Im lacking any machine. The gym has a medium sized CrossFit section, its alright not a big fan of its placement and lack of privacy.

It cost probably a little more than some gyms but it is very nice there with a nice staff and very helpful and they have newer equipment and a lot of class and free weights and child care available.

Horrible experience, new to the area and looking into joining a new gym in the area, entered the facility with no greet, person in front of desk was on the phone and had no manners what so ever, took a seat until he was available, he hung up the phone and still no acknowledgement, was literally there for 15mins, I was ready to give this gym a try, but with this service, I will be taking my business else where.

Do not sign in for this gym especially if you have kids they will tell in the beginning that they have a free daycare but they will not tell you that that room where they keep animals I mean kids because thats how they treat them is very humid and hot , it doesnt have no ventilation system for air ..no windows so they can breath .. they use a small fan that they have on the floor facing kids faces when they play and poor kids they always end up sick and sneazing from that .. we spoke to the management about and they always try to find different excuses for them selves.. it is against the law to have a room like that for kids.. paying $50.00 a month its not worth it.
