I love this gym so much. Great facility with the areas best coaches. TFW classes have changed my life. The family atmosphere and leave no person behind philosophy is what sets Erie Fitness Academy apart from the many other gyms I have belonged to over the years. If giving back to the community and growing as a person, as well as working out is what you are looking for, this is the spot for you!
Absolutely love this place! You can just feel the motivation when you walk in and everyone is pretty personable unlike other gyms Ive been too. Always hosting events to challenge yourself and to learn proper techniques. The staff treats you like family. 5/5 and worth every penny
I literally have no complaints about this place. The people are kind and friendly. They genuinely desire to see people reach their goals and are willing to invest the time and energy into helping them succeed! Not only are the employees fantastic, but the members are great too! Theyre supportive and encouraging. The entire atmosphere of this place is phenomenal. 10/10 would recommend. If youre serious about changing your life, heres the best place to start!
Best gym in Erie, hands down. Ive been an athlete most of my life and take training very seriously. It is the ONLY gym to facilitate the highest level of training. Owners and employees are very hospitable and great. There is more room and equipment there than every place around here and you never have to worry about people in your way. 24 hour access makes it even more grand. Its also great for people that are new to training and getting healthy with there very diverse classes and training. Ive seen kids, parents, grandparents, people with disabilities all attend their multiple types of classes.
I love going to Erie Fitness Academy, their 24/hr access allows me to get my workout in around my schedule. The environment is wonderful & even though I don’t attend a class, I witness the classes going on during my gym time. They are awesome to watch, and the hype is real. Each coach knows what they are talking about it when it comes to a healthy lifestyle in and outside the gym!A great gym, I’m so glad I joined and would recommend it to anyone!
Amazing gym! Everyone treats you like family. Great space. Variety of equipment. Different options for all fitness levels and sports types. This is my happy place...so blessed to have found this spot!
I am biased because my son is part owner of this business. Having got that out of the way, this is ne of few places to offer Training For Warriors (or TFW). This program saves lives, as it is a way of living, not just a traditional Training approach. I highly recommend coming in and talking with a trainer about the program!
Gio, DJ, and Kristen are the bomb. Very supportive community who cares about your well being and getting you to your goals!
Great vibes, great people, great set up. I joined due to frequent travel to the Erie Area for work and the 24 hour access is amazing! Awesome gym for the daily grind. All the equipment you could ever need for a full on torture session. Would recommend to anyone looking to start or continue their fitness journey!
Great place to work out. The coaching staff is second to none. Extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. I am 59 years old and have been a member of their training for warriors program for three years...I feel better and in better shape now than I have in years. I have lost almost 50 pounds and gained energy that I thought I lost. Thanks to Erie fitness Academy. Eries # 1 Gym.
My 13 year old daughter has been going to Erie Fitness Academy for personal training with Coach Megan Moore for 4 months. She absolutely loves it there and comes home after every workout and tells us how nice EVERYONE there is and how special they make her feel! She told us she never wants to go anywhere else to workout. More importantly she is seeing amazing results and I can really see her self esteem improving daily! Best decision ever to choose Erie Fitness Academy.
Best gym in the county maybe even in the tri state area. Staff and owners are great. Other members are great. I dont think Ill find another gym like this place. Absolutely loved coming here
The members and staff are so welcoming and helpful, and the results are amazing if youre willing to put in the work!
This is a great place to work out! I have been going here for 2 years now and it has completely changed my life. I have lost fat and put on muscle totally transforming myself, and the people both staff and members are very friendly and supportive.
Best gym in Erie! Great atmosphere, quality coaches and clean equipment! There is lots of space for you to get a great workout in alone or with others! Would definitely recommend for anyone, whether you are a beginner or more advanced.
Great staff. Upbeat atmosphere. The trainers really care about the members. I would definitely recommend this business to anyone who is either starting out or wants to switch gyms.
Helpful and determined staff focused on your well being and improvement. Whether you workout solo or in a class they are always ready to make you better w/ superb equipment and advice.
Ive been a member a quite a few gyms from New York, to Pennsylvania, to Ohio, and Erie Fitness Academy is by far the best gym Ive ever been to. The atmosphere there is of family and friends. The people who go to EFA all know each other. And if you are new, they take you in just like you had always belonged there. They also offer many other programs that regular gyms dont offer. Once you walk through that door, you wont be leaving anytime soon.
Erie fitness academy is a great place to train. Friendly and professional staff, clean organized gym with lots of fun equipment. I received an assessment during my first visit and really enjoyed their group classes.Thank you Daniel Myers and Coach Gio for being so welcoming!
This place isnt just a gym, its a familia! Joining was the best thing Ive done for my mental and physical health. The coaches are amazing, the classes are fun, and the community is supportive. Check them out!!! Time to write a new story for your fitness journey!
Going to Erie Fitness Academy is more than a workout! I always leave there feeling great both physically and mentally and the focus is on more than just physical health but also on mental health and so much more! It is a great place to be a part of!
EFA is not like most gyms. They are not a corporate for profit gym where you walk in and no one talks and elevator music is playing softly in the background. Where it feels intimidating and no one asks for help and you feel criticized. This gym is a gym full of friends. Friends who are always cheering for you to succeed, will help you at every corner and will hold you accountable. I cant emphasize my success enough to the atmosphere of this facility and the people in it.
I have been all over the country, one of the best Gyms around. Good people, good staff. Nice place. Best Gym in NW PA.
This is unlike any gym I’ve ever been to. Everyone is so kind and it’s seriously like family. All of the coaches are helpful and available whenever I need them and they’re all really knowledgeable on fitness and nutrition! I’m so glad I joined!
If you’re ready to change your life, and are looking for a whole new gym experience with awesome coaches and the most uplifting community of friends you could ask for, then EFA is definitely your place to go. 😊
I have been a member of Erie Fitness Academy for over 3 years and love it. The coaches and trainers are second to none with a wealth of information. Can’t imagine not being part of such a wonderful environment
Always always always family friendly. They genuinely care and make sure you are always pushing the limits! Best gym Ive ever been to.
Great people! great facility! Knowledgeable and helpful. All fitness levels they will work with you to help you meet your goals.
For as long as I live in Erie, this will be my gym. I started working out at EFA in January 2020 and was struggling with my fitness journey beforehand. I was 142 pounds and trying to put on muscle/size. I met with DJ on day one and was given a detailed game plan for exercises/nutrition that I followed over the course of the year. One year later in January 2021 and I weighed in at 165 pounds and I have never felt better in my life. This is a place that welcomes everyone with open arms, no matter your age, fitness level or weight. The community is second to none and other members are friendly and willing to help! I have been pleased with the progress I have made but even more excited about the friendships I’ve created here. Thank you to Coach DJ, Gio, Megan and the entire staff for your support!
Very supportive and a fun place to work out.
Support, knowledge, caring - EFA has it all! When they say familia, its not said lightly. They do make you feel like part of a family. The coaches are always positive and encouraging. Would recommend to anyone regardless of what your fitness level is, from couch potato to warrior!
Erie Fitness Academy and the Training for Warriors program have changed my life. I am younger at 60 than I was at 30. TOTAL FITNESS: Mind Body Spirit
This is the only gym I have ever felt like I wasn’t “alone.” Many other gyms I’ve walked into were intimidating and awkward, not knowing where to begin. That doesn’t happen when you are at Erie Fitness Academy! I love walking in at any given time and class. They reach out to make sure you are ok and ask how it’s going for you. Great touch! There you are never alone!
Just got thrown out of this gym after being a member for 7 years, after being humiliated by one of the owners in front of the entire gym. When i was critical of his behavior with this review, i was told to leave.Basicly this review got me thrown out after 7 years. This is how the owner takes constructive criticism. I truly loved this gym, but i dared to disagree with a single owner about etiquette . I will truely miss this gym. But not the harassment from ownership
Courteous and friendly atmosphere. Amazing place to work out whether you do your own thing or need training.
My experience at Erie Fitness Academy has been different than any other gym I have attended. It has been an environment that promotes physical fitness but also provides the support and motivation from the coaches and other members to continue to try and maintain yoir fitness goals.
Love this gym!! Everyone is always so welcoming, kind, and supportive of your journey!
Best decision Ive made was joining the TFW (training for Warriors) program that is offered at Erie Fitness Academy. Also as a facility and staff as a whole is amazing!
Staff and other members dedicated to your success in meeting your fitness goals.
I was introduced to this gym through a personal fitness appointment and really liked the staff, encouragement, facility and people who come here. It is really like a friends and family setting.
Great gym for beginners to the bodybuilding type so much to do there the staff is kind and will help or put you on the right track of your goals
Great place to workout. Friendly staff. Nice facility.
Awesome and very knowledgeable staff, friendly and helpful members, fun workout classes, great results! This is the best place to start your fitness journey!
Best gym I have ever joined! Staff is friendly, educated in the fitness industry, they’re dedicated to clients and customers, and overall a clean place to workout and enjoy yourself while sweating!
Been going here for 3 years now and wouldnt think twice about leaving for another gym. Results have been phenomenal and the atmosphere is amazing.
Love this dojo!! Truly a Familia! All around fitness! A true focus on body mind and Spirit in the Training For Warriors classes.
Great energy, the group classes are motivating, friendly knowledgeable trainers. Definitely recommend!
Its a place you can train and not be judged for who you are. Great people and great atmosphere for people who wanna move forward.
Awesome gym. Great staff. Incredible community.
Attentive, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff that has a true niche in the fitness industry. Drop ins, passes, memberships to fit every lifestyle. It is so much more than a chain gym.
Erie Fitness Acadamy and Training for Warriors is a positive place and program for me. Before joining I had so much pain in my joints and my back to the point that my pain would keep me up at night. I could barely walk after an 8 hour day at work. This team of coaches and trainers have been so supportive of me and my journey. They are there helping me learn and making sure I am safe with my body mechanics. They help me with my nutrition and accountability. This team is very knowledgeable and very professional. I have never felt better. My pain is no longer debilitating. Im so happy and motivated. EFA and TFW have made a positive impact on my quality of life. I highly recommend Erie Fitness Acadamy.
EFA has been really good to me so far! I decided to dive head first into their 6 week training program and dont have a single regret. The community is amazing, the trainers are knowledgeable and everyone keeps you motivated and actually wanting to exercise rather than making you feel like you have to.The environment at EFA is very family oriented, friendly and supportive, which is without a doubt my favorite aspect of it all. Id highly recommend this gym to anyone who is looking to increase their overall knowledge when it comes to the many forms of exercise and nutrition, as well as if youre looking to make friends and be a part of an amazing community in the process.I full heartedly can say that I look forward to the rest of my fitness journey here at EFA! 💪
Great gym... great for any level or any goal set
Liked all 3 areas mentioned Quality, Professional and communication. Very friendly people employees and the members!!!
This gym is not just a gym. It is something bigger. It is a familia that cares about each and every warrior.
Ehhhhhh not the finest workout location in the area unless you like to mix politics with your exercise
Great Staff and great place to workout
Son is training with his hockey team
From the owners, to the coaches to the members. NO better gym in Erie.
Great equipment available and space to work out. Busy between 5 and 7 PM, very spacious every other time Ive been there.
Excellent gym. The staff genuinely cares about your progress. The classes are top-notch and I can notice improvement in my energy levels and strength after just three weeks in the program. If you’re on the fence, give them a try - you won’t regret it.
Great facility and even better staff
Awesome gym!! Awesome people!!
Clean and great for training
This is the best program I have ever done. I am in better shape than I have ever been in and actually miss the workout and people when I cannot be there. The trainers are Awesome.
Best gym in town
Way more then just a gym. People turely care about you and your progress. It is an absolutely amazing program they run, and I believe it can change everyones life.
TFW South Erie is the place to be if you are dedicated and can take simple direction from a knowledgeable and extremely helpful staff. My wife and I are so glad we made the call and signed up. I know we are in the best shape of our lives because of it. Warriors!!!
Impressive, gym with equipment for cardio, weight training, crossfit, boxing and wrestling. Friendly staff at the front desk. We were in town for a wedding and used the gym for a one-visit fee of $10 each. This is the place to go if you are looking for an excellent workout!
This place will blow your mind, awesome place to be a part of. Changed my opinion of getting in shape, the encouragement from the coaches, members and staff makes you wanna get back in again and again!!! I am sore, and proud!
Family atmosphere and a great place to have the real gym feel!
Fantastic equipment, great staff, and awesome obstacle course
After nine years in the Marine Corps infantry, being an athlete my entire life, and acquiring multiple fitness industry certifications, Ive learned the difference between good gyms and great gyms. EFA is a great gym! My wife and I enjoyed EFA the entire time we lived in Erie, and consistently talk about how that gym was our favorite part of living there. If youre new to the area, or just havent stopped in, check this place out...youll be happy you did!
Great atmosphere. Good people. And love the TFW program
They offer unique fitness classes, plenty of room, no waiting, practice all types of exercise, friendly staff, great members TFW and Spartan training offered too!
It seems like yesterday...... I remember asking my husband when I found the ad on Facebook about the challenge if he thought it was legit or just another scam..... and here we are 4 months later...eating healthier, feeling better about ourselves...just what we needed!It has been a great experience from the place, to the atmosphere and most important the coaches and wonderful warriors along the way!This hasnt been our first gym, but the best one by far.... no judgement, always willing to help and push us as much as needed to bring out the best in ourselves trying to achieve our personal goals....no matter your age, how strong or weak, how tall or short, how fit or not...always here for us....that sense of continous support, encouragement and motivation are priceless.Special thanks to coach Daniel Myers, coach Gio, coach Jim, coach Trent Lagunas and coach Ashley.We certainly appreciate you letting our little Mason tag along for class, not every gym in town will allow that without an extra fee or an extensive list of conditions. You Rock.....A proud ...now yearly... TFW memberAna Fair 🦁💪
Kick ass atmosphere. Everyone is friendly & extremely helpful (:
Great coaches, excellent facilities
Amazing staff and TFW program
Kinda pricey, however, the equipment is pretty solid
Awesome gym
Too expensive
