The new restrictions and requirement that gyms close is very good, we need to prevent spread of Covid. And the manager of this gym speaking out against that is nothing but greed. I wouldnt support this place after the pandemic not with such irresponsible management.

So I became a member four months ago with my new job. Awful facility. Today was the last straw. Tried the food for the first time. The guy running the food stand and it was covered in mold. Disgusting. Go to lifetime instead. It’s cheaper too

Ordered delivery. After three hours of calling the phone number on record, which only ever went to a full voicemail box, I cancelled thru Grubhub. Utter incompetence.UPDATE: Apparently it’s actually a gym, and they’re offering food service thru Grubhub. It’s still terrible and to be avoided at all costs, but now it makes more sense why.

This is an update to the review I wrote on another platform. In short, my review was that it was ridiculous for the gym to not allow access to facilities such as pools or basketball courts to anyone under 18 except during children’s hours. This affects guests of the nearby hotel. Anyway, this time during children’s hours, I find out that anyone under 18, even a 16 or 17 year old, needs an adult nearby to use the pool or basketball courts. Not to mention, 16 and 17 year olds are not even allowed to access the exercise equipment on the third floor. Out of all the hotels I have been to, I have never been denied access to the pool as a teenager. Furthermore, I need supervision to even go to the pool during children’s hours.When I go to the basketball court, most of it is occupied by people playing pickle ball. A suggestion would be to create separate times for people to play pickle ball and a separate time for people to play basketball.Back to my previous point, I would suggest that anyone over the age of 13 can use both the first and second floors of the sporting club at any of the opening hours and without adult supervision. Anyone over the age of 16 can use the first, second, and third floor without adult supervision. Lastly, anyone under the age of 13 can use the first and second floors with adult supervision. This would eliminate the need for “children’s hours” and allow the nearby hotel to be more like any other hotels.Judging by what others have wrote, it seems like the gym facilities are quite poorly maintained, though I have not seen the pool yet. The future of the sporting club seems bleak if changes are not implemented quickly.

I feel sorry for the investors. Has potential but awful sales department. This attempt to have an exclusive, snobby atmosphere hinders the possible revenue this gym can generate. I cringed when I left, since I was considering joining. Hopefully there will be more focus on a friendly inviting atmosphere.

I was there for a promotion $99 sign-up fee. They had some decent classes and there is a lot of space but I thought that there there wasn’t a lot of people there. I thought that it was kind of a sling in at times. Parking is always difficult so I always had to pay for parking when I was there. It was an OK Gym but for $100 month I thought that there could’ve been more classes.

Came in for a trial, membership services was busy, asked front desk to give me a tour while one person in members service was helping another member, refused and asked to wait. My time is also valuable and bad customer service is unacceptable at any decent gym. I left, they lost a good potential client.

I joined the Sporting Club at the Bellevue and left this awful, overpriced joke of an establishment within two weeks. The first week I was there, much of the equipment that they featured as amenities were broken and out of order. The steam rooms, sauna, hot tub were all enough to completely gross you out... when and if they were in working order. The equipment was run down and the locker room floors were filthy, as many other reviews on here confirm.During my first week, my bike that was securely locked to the bike rack inside the Bellevue Parking Garage, was stolen. Someone with bolt cutters walked in at 3:00PM in the afternoon on Broad St and cut my lock. I proceeded to ask the staff at the front desk if there were any security cameras, parking garage security... anything to help me with my situation. They claimed that there were cameras, but of course, no one ever followed up with me. I was completely brushed aside and my situation was left totally unaddressed.As I entered my second week, an adult male began stalking me around the gym. He followed me into the locker rooms and made a completely unwanted sexual advance towards me, which I immediately reported to the staff. I had finally hit my breaking point with this luxurious, upscale Sporting Club. I realized quickly that it was all smoke and mirrors and the staff truly didnt care about customer service.So, based on my set of circumstances and complaints, I requested the absurdly overpriced initiation fee back. The owner, Fran Cassidy, got on the phone and refused to reason whatsoever. He proceeded to call me a spoiled millennial brat and told me to shut my mouth when I asked what his response would be if I was a woman reporting a case of sexual harassment. He then cancelled my membership and told me that Im not not getting anything back and hung up. This only lead me to believe that this place must be struggling pretty hard if my $300 something meant that much to this angry little man.Luckily, I filed a dispute with my credit card company and was able to get my money back (how you like me now, Fran?). Do yourself a favor and stay away from this place at all cost. It is overpriced, outdated, filthy, run down, and the staff could care less about you or your concerns. City Fitness just opened a new location on Market Street which is cheaper, newer, cleaner, and friendlier than the Bellevue. Wouldnt be surprised if this place becomes a parking garage soon.

Ive worked there for year and a half. The most horrible gym you could ever attend. The gym is good itself but the management are so unorganized and do not know how to run a housekeeping job along with that they expect you to go far and beyond for 10.00 hourly with no chance of raises and they have you doing maintenance work as if nobody knows the difference between the work being giving out. would not recommend unless whole operations management is switched around!

Glorified planet fitness, if you deadlift more than 2 plates expect to be told to stop, even using the bumper plates and the platform.(why have bumper plates if you cant use them?) Ive witnessed it on many occasions. For $110 a month and a $195 initiation fee i should be allowed to fling feces at the overweight trainers who are incorrectly teaching people incorrectly how to squat. Save your money and go somewhere cheaper.The smoothie bar they have is pretty good though, i recommend getting the java oat.

Nicole Caccavo is hands down one of the best personal trainers and fitness experts in the city. Not only are her personal training sessions challenging, motivating, and thoughtful but her client-centered approach is warm and uplifting. Nicoles fitness classes are also amazing! Im so glad she recently began teaching spin classes - even though her classes are tough, her constant praise, humor, and music playlist keep you going! Shes the best!

If you are looking for a spa experience, look elsewhere. Im sure their massages are great, but waiting in stiff chairs next to the highly chlorinated lap pool, was not a spa - it is a gym offering sports massages. Charged for the massage not taken.

Hands down the best gym in the city. It really is a club so its not just a gym. much more expensive than other membership but if you plan to work out, this place supports a workout lifestyle.

Dont join !After a full year of membership there was no way I could continue. Main reasons: Old everything in the mens locker room (lockers, toilets, sinks, etc were all falling apart), old equipment (not one single piece of equipment was added in a full year! I dont need new stuff but when the same things were repeatedly breaking due to age its time to buy new), terrible communication (NUMEROUS times I showed up to workout just to see a closed for the day sign up on the ground floor with no prior notice. Along with terrible availability on days near the holiday ...ex 0500-1100), putting equipment away was not enforced (non stop battle trying to find cable attachments, barbells halfway across the gym, weights left on barbells), my membership went up five bucks a month after the first six months to keep up with rising costs.: with NO improvements!!!!! etc etc etc. For a gym that is the most expensive in center city; you would expect quality. I became a founding member at City Fitness where its $30 cheaper per month, brand new equipment, much higher gym etiquette, better technology, etc. I wouldnt go back to Bellevue if it were free.

This has to be the worst membership experience to date. When I was ready to start working out again after a year of cancer treatment and I decided to joined the gym at the Bellevue. A month later I broke my wrist. I called to freeze my membership and they said that I would need to send an email, but they werent sure if they had the right address and to call back and check during the week. ... It bounced and long story short they wouldnt honor the freeze because I deleted the bounced email and I could not prove it. Pretty hard to type an email left handed the week you break your wrist, let alone resend, recall and then loose 2 months of membership, plus pay the fees.... yikes! Ironically, its customer appreciation week.

Front desk of the sporting club all garages all require a sporting club stamp on the parking ticking to receive the appropriate discount enjoy frozen thirst quenching beverages from the juice bar along with a variety of health conscious foods women locker room are equipped with stand up tanning booths contact the hospitality desk for of well being yoga mediation classes are offered that help to balance your body clear your mind and set youre up for the rest of the day

I too have been a member for many years. The new manager has been associated with the club since its inception. Hes competent, energetic and enthusiastic about making the club truly great. If you think management is important and have been turned off in the past bc of lame managers COME BACK! YOULL be pleasantly surprised. This is the only world class fitness establishment in philly.

Great swimming pool and indoor track. I never have to wait for a machine, and the place is always very clean.

Decent gym, very unhelpful staff at the management office

The Hyatt Bellvue is a gross (and grossly overpriced) gym. Parking is $9 per 3 hour session. The showers have a slime on the floor which protrudes into your shoes and some showers are broken. Dont get me started on the hot tub! Spend your money somewhere else, this place sucks.

I have only been here for daily classes from time to time, but always impressed by the staff and atmosphere

I have been a member for many years and I love this club. It is very user-friendly -- staff are incredibly pleasant and go out of their way to be helpful. I only use the pool, but it is the only pool I know in the Phila. area that is Olympic size and kept at the proper temperature: other pools Ive swum at are usually heated to about 86-90 degrees for arthritis patients -- but this is a lap-swimmers pool. Sauna-whirlpool-steambath area is luxurious. Showers are fine, and lounge is great. I come about three-four times a week so this club is well worth the money for me -- my escape from the real world of work and worry. Plus you can suspend your membership and payment if youre going to be traveling for a month or two or three.

Best gym in Philly. Huge and top line equipment

I enjoy the personal trainer part! Its really nice to have someone dealing with you specifically!

Wont discuss pricing over the phone. The only way to get membership cost is to show up for a tour or provide your email so you get flooded with promotional emails. Really deceptive. Im not interested in pressure tactics. Lost a potential client.

$3 shoeshine. Best in town.

Hands down the best gym in philly everything is 5 star from staff to members to equipment if you got a problem with this place maybe you should look in a mirror it might be you

I had a real terrible experience with the management here. I recommend Philadelphia sports club instead.

The club has significantly deteriorated over the past several years. It is dirty, poorly kept and has become more of a commercial space then a gym. It has gone from a luxury urban fitness center to a typical suburban box gym. It has lost its edge and the reasons it was worth the extra money.

The best gym in Philadelphia...and maybe anywhere!!!

The boxing class program is a failure. Paid $400 for 3 month class session. Executive membership costs $180 per month. My locker was next to Seth Williams’s locker.

Sauna and Swimming!

The best.

Great environment!

Loved it
