I have been following Fit Academy for a long time on social media & when I finally decided to train with them, I knew almost immediately that I made the right decision. Coach Ashley was amazing! She really helped me achieve my fitness goals & I saw a complete transformation right before my eyes. Everyone at Fit Academy are super helpful & worked with my schedule & my location as well. I highly recommend them for all fitness goals!
As a current client, Fit Academy is well suited for my needs. Flexible hours, robust virtual engagement for training sessions when I am traveling and more importantly in tune to where I am in fitness vs constructing a good plan; what I want the end state to be. I am totally satisfied, I recommend Fit Academy for the busy professional with complexity of schedules and travel woven in their lives. Be prepared for the accountability, excuses have no home in this establishment.
I absolutely love Fit Academy, especially Coach Kayla! She was the kick in the tush I needed to get myself back on track and focused on a healthy lifestyle. The weekly check-ins help to stay focus and plan for any upcoming events. She tailored the workouts based on my feedback and was always flexible to connect, via zoom, text, etc. I am extremely happy with the results and the 6 week program I completed. Thank you Coach Kayla!!
Did a 4 month program with coaching & classes and had a great experience with my coach to create a plan and stay accountable. The classes are high energy, but focus on letting you workout at your own pace.
Absolutely love Fit Academy! Coach Kayla was awesome! The workouts were great and easy to follow. The coaching/mentoring were on point, the weekly zoom check- ins were a saving grace! I highly recommend utilizing their services for any fitness goals you may have!
Even with virtual coaching and training, it was amazing to have the accountability and support! Kayla was very motivating and knowledgeable! She went above and beyond to find exercise that will work with my injury.
I stumbled upon Fit Academy through Instagram and had a good exchange with Osunde. Did a consultation via zoom and got set up with the 12 week program. My accountability coach was Ashley Neelis. I started in May weighing 180 and my goal was to reach 165lb. During the program Ashley held me accountable regarding my nutrition, daily exercises with video demonstrations, weekly to bi-weekly zoom meeting to discuss results and get an idea of what worked what didn’t work. I reached my goal of 165 around 3 weeks before program ended. I finished the program at 167lbs. Biggest lesson I learned is that you get out what you put in. If you are serious about changing your life and jump starting your fitness lifestyle, I would highly recommend fit academy and any of their coaches especially Ashley Neelis.
Absolutely love Fit Academy! Saw amazing results much faster than I expected, and the workouts are FUN and easily customized to your own comfort level. All the trainers are extremely encouraging and the 1:1 coaching has changed my whole outlook on fitness and leading a healthy lifestyle. So worth the investment, could not recommend more highly!
What an incredible place. This is not a normal gym or fitness place. As a former college athlete I have worked out at many locations and places but Fit Academy is different. From the personal approach, awesome accountability and great use of technology combined with in person connection this place is the place for anyone serious about their health and fitness. In 8 weeks I have lost 10 lbs and reduced my body fat by 7 percent. Still a long way to go but on my path for sure.
I have been working with my trainer, Lucas, for a couple of months and he has really improved my strength training. This program has really helped me mentally and physically and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a safe space. My experience has been very beneficial and comforting. I love fit academy and would recommend it to anyone looking to improve their lives!
Fit Academy has been like my second home for over three years now. I got such great results from coming to the group training classes that I wanted to start personal training so I could really take it to the next level. My personal training program helped me gain strength & become a stronger runner. I can’t recommend it enough.
Thank you to Osayi and Alex for helping me during this weight loss journey and being able to do this all virtual! Ive lost weight, got back to eating healthier, and am definitely feeling good and more confident about myself. The trainers have positive and encouraging attitudes that push you to achieve results! Its great therapy for the mind and body! I highly recommend Fit Academy to anyone serious about getting back in shape!
What I love about Fit AcAdemy is that it is so much more multifaceted than “just a gym”. The community is so welcoming and friendly, they offer nutrition and focus on health and being fit - being a better you! The coaches are all educated and inspirational so that makes for a comfortable environment. It’s also awesome to workout outdoors in the nice weather!
Awesome Workout Program! I did the 6-week program with them and I saw amazing results within the 6 weeks and feel good going into the New Year with this new confidence. Osayi and his team of personal coaches are so motivating and helpful. They will kick your butt but you will be happy with the end results after consistent workouts and maintaining accountability. I mainly did the online workouts, which personally I preferred with my busy work schedule and they were super accessible to watch if you couldnt make the scheduled class times. The coaches made sure you did the correct form even virtually and each workout was never the same it was a good variety. Check them out and support local gyms and small businesses! Fit Academy knows what theyre doing!
Amazing 1 to 1 personal training with Alex. She has taught me and helped me achieve more than I ever thought I would be capable of on my own. Highly recommend for someone who feels stuck in their own workouts and looking for a new, motivating place to work out!
Great experience with Fit Academy! I did their 21 Day Challenge with Nicole as my coach and she was fantastic - supportive, encouraging, and helpful. Would recommend Fit Academy to anyone whether you need an accountability partner, or jump start to your journey - its all here.
If you’re looking for a team who will help you reach your health and fitness goals, this is the place for you! As a trainer at this gym, everything is very individualized and there are plenty of modifications in classes so individuals of every fitness level can get an excellent workout!
Before I begin my first workout, Osayi gave me the confidence Id been lacking with my overall health and wellness. Not only is Osayi knowledgeable and easy to speak with, he looks like a fitness model. I couldnt be more excited to begin my fitness program with Fit Academy.
I love the team and atmosphere at Fit Academy. Everyone is really supportive, and they are the best at helping you achieve your fitness goals through personal and group training.
Fit Academy is great! They have amazing personal trainers and the gym is SO clean. Highly recommend!
Fit Academy does training exactly how it’s meant to be done. This private studio allows you to learn and grow in your fitness journey in ways you’ll never expect the coaches value and care about your experience from start to finish. If you are serious about your fitness goals this is the place for you!
I love taking the classes at FitAcademy! The instructors are so great and do an awesome job of working with you. I loved getting to work with Kayla to reach my goals! She was great at helping me stay accountable, helped me learn more about nutrition and healthy eating that I hadn’t tried before, and challenged me to work hard! The atmosphere is so welcoming and encouraging, and the in person classes are a good size (not only for concerns with covid but also to make it more personal). As an athlete growing up, the instructors and workouts provided me with the intensity I need while incorporating new things that kept it interesting and challenging. Some of the pricing is on the higher side but with the personalization and quality of the instructs and classes it makes sense. Being new to Philly this was the first gym I tried and it exceeded my expectations!
Had my first training yesterday with Alex. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and focuses on form / a good quality workout. The training session I had with her was tangible and something I can stick with long term. The facilities are very neat and they are taking all of the appropriate infection control procedures during COVID.
Highly professional. If you do the work, youll get the results. Not much more you can ask for.
The studio is awesome and gives off a hype energy leading to great workouts. The coaches are knowledgeable and personable!
Fit Academy transformed my body. I’ve been training virtually with Manny and Kayla for almost a year, they are absolute rock stars! They both put so much thought and energy into planning our sessions, motivating me throughout, and taking care to help me with good form and best practices. Our workouts are challenging but really fun with great structures - hitting strength, endurance, cardio, flexibility and more. I’ve built up meaningful strength since starting the program and have achieved visible results! Thank you Manny and Kayla for helping me to achieve my goals every day, and cheers to Osayi on putting together an awesome program and team of stellar trainers!
Whoever reads this and is considering working with Osayi Osunde, or his Team, let me tell you... it is WORTH IT! I’ve had the pleasure of watching how professional and dedicated he is to delivering his clients results and running a high quality business (not to mention how fit he is!). If you’re on the fence, take my advice as another fitness pro working in the industry for 10+ years, Osayi is your guy! Don’t waste time with other trainers, reach out to him today and get started!
Love Fit Academy, especially the Piazza Pod Park classes. The workouts are challenging but fun at the same time. The circuit and interval training push me to do things I usually wouldn’t at a gym and it makes the 45 minutes breeze by. I love being able to workout outside. Always great music and the instructors are awesome. Adam is the best, he’s so thorough with how he explains workouts and always makes sure there are modifications if you need it. He genuinely cares about everyone who attends his classes and wants to help them be the best, fittest versions they can be! It’s the best. Definitely a fun change up for a workout.
I had a great experience with Fit Academy! The classes are challenging yet fun. You are able to work at your own pace and they let you modify any of the exercises. The trainers definitely helped me push through. They had positive energy and played great music. I highly recommend this gym!
Ive been going here for almost a year and I love it! The team works together to put together classes that cover everything I need, and theyre accommodating of modifications that individuals may need beyond that. Im pushed to do more than I think I can and supported along the way. Each of the trainers brings their own strengths to the classes to help you get the most out of what you put in. Im grateful I get to go here!
I love Fit Academy!! The trainers are very encouraging and bring so much energy to each class that it motivates me to work hard. The workouts are always different which keeps the classes interesting and fun. I did the Summer Slim Down Challenge and saw a big difference in my strength at the end of it. I highly recommend Fit Academy!
Fit Academy is a great place. I had the opportunity to take Malik, Marco, Brian and Ahmad’s classes and they were all equally awesome. The classes are challenging but you are allowed to do everything at your own pace. There was always different workouts everyday which I loved. The facilities are really up to date and so is the equipment. They also play really good music which kept me in the mood to actually workout.
I had taken a few classes at the Fit Academy when I heard about the Summer Slim Down Challenge & decided to fully commit to it. The four weeks flew by, and I learned how much I could push myself. The trainers there are great. They bring great energy to the class, and will offer modifications for different fitness levels. There is a nice community feeling here. Will definitely continue to take classes here now that the challenge is over.
Fit Academy is a great place to achieve your goals. The trainers are knowledgeable and supportive. The other members are very friendly and encouraging. This is the place to go to look and feel great - inside and out!
The owner is arrogant, money hungry, and unprofessional. Do not waste your time on this high priced, over rated rubbish....nonsense
I signed up for the online coaching program and began seeing results immediately. Ive been provided with the workouts and support needed to achieve my fitness goals. I highly recommend Fit Academy
Fit academy is a fantastic place. I’ve mostly trained with Marko and he is an exceptional trainer. Great balance of keeping workouts challenging but doable. He takes the time to understand any limitations you have and make modifications that keep you on track. Most of all he’s a great motivator and brings positive energy to the process. I’ve only been to the brewery town location but it’s clean and well run. Nothing bad to say at all, give it a try for yourself!
Malik’s classes are the best! My sisters and I go whenever we get the chance - it’s a family affair. He engages with everyone during the workouts and always brings positive and welcoming energy. His classes are catered to people of all fitness levels - the exercises in his workouts are simple yet creative and he demonstrates them beforehand. He even shows how you can modify each exercise to challenge yourself. Highly recommend!
I went to a free class at the Pod Park location a few months ago and have been a member ever since! The trainers are extremely friendly and very accommodating. They want everyone to have a positive experience. The workouts are intense and the trainers are really good about adjusting them for the individual needs of each person who attends. You will definitely sweat a lot but it so worth it!
Been here a few times now and Ive gotten a great work out each time.The space is located on a strip plaza with an apartment community next door. There is plenty of street parking available in the area, but plan ahead in case you need to circle for a little bit.Inside its a split level design. The entrance opens up to a main gym area with your typical equipment lining the perimeter. Theres a short staircase to the second level that is used for group fitness classes.I havent used the regular gym area and have only taken group classes. From my experience, I found the space serves the purpose well. There is room to leave your belongings at the rack, a few changing rooms, and a bathroom.The group fitness area is wide and long and fits a good sized group. The perimeter houses much of the equipment that you may use for different moves (dumbbells, bands, TRX straps, box crates, etc.) and there is also a water fountain available in the work out area which was a nice touch to have readily available.The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They have a good mix of programs and look to be still growing and evolving.Would definitely recommend trying this place out!
If you are looking for a great workout Fit Academy is the place to go! My favorite part about Fit Academy is the workouts are never the same. If you are a first timer, I highly suggest taking one of Maliks classes. His energy is infectious, he is motivating and he will never forget your name! I enjoyed his classes so much that I recently started taking personal training from him as well. I leave his sessions feeling challenged, accomplished, sweaty and strong. I cant wait to see the long term results!
So I tried this program for a week. Due to Covid the Gym is not open but they offer zoom and Facebook live and thats it. The person I was assigned to often did not communicate with me. Also Osayi is so arrogant that he follows a one size fits all nutrition plan that was made by someone else. They also promote products that they get commission off of. It is not about the clients it is all about money. He is one of those greedy Africans. They charged me $100 for a zoom call and 5 text messages. You have been warned.
My favorite part about Fit Academy is definitely the trainers, every single one is personable, high energy and makes you feel like theyve known you forever even on your first day. Theyre awesome and the workouts are killer so you definitely need high energy friendly faces to get you through. The Brewerytown location is awesome but I think Im partial to Pod Park, at least when its not super hot!
I love, love, love Fit Academy and my trainer Marko! He has the perfect balance between pushing you hard and being so encouraging and supportive. He works really hard to get to know all of his clients and work with them to achieve their goals. Seriously, this guy is the best!
I started going to the Fit Academy a little over a two month ago and have really enjoyed my time there! The coaches are all super friendly in the classes and my personal trainer, Marko, has been amazing! I have seen so much improvement in my workout ethic and feel more comfortable in the gym overall. I would recommend to anyone thinking of going!
I have been working with Brian Pease (@the_brian_pease) for 2 months and he is the best trainer I have ever worked with. He has challenged me and my body to do things that I would never thought of. He is like family and has made my weight loss journey enjoyable.The facility is great with state of the art equipment. When you come to Fit Academy you know you will work and your body will thank you.
I really enjoy my workouts at Fit Academy. Malik, Marco and the entire team of trainers are awesome, energetic, friendly and very encouraging. Every workout has been completely different which keeps me on my toes and continues to challenge me. I can see major improvements in my strength, endurance and stamina.
The Fit Academy is an incredible place to work out. Ive been doing personal training there for the last 6 months and couldnt possibly love it more. The staff is all incredibly knowledgable and extremely professional. I highly recommend it to anyone that is serious about their fitness journey!
The workouts and trainers here are great. They always bring a lot of energy and make the workouts fun. Did a workout with Marko this morning using 5x5 heavy weight training and really enjoyed it.
Okay took complete advantage of my wife. Not only did Fit Academy not provide services for what my money was worth but he was very dismissive of her complaints and had a complete disdain for being professional. I will be making a complaint with my credit card company and reporting him.
Awesome Gym!Everyone is incredibly friendly. Owner is great and there are no large contracts like corporate/chain gyms.Shout out to Marko as an amazingly motivating personal trainer!
I’ve been going to FA since 2016. It’s been a great 3 years and counting! All of the trainers listen to your needs and are always motivating. I highly recommend this gym and hope to see you in there!
I love this facility so much! It’s such a great and quick workout. They put so many power moves and get your heart rate up quick. The instructors are amazing! Shoutout to Anya and Khalil for always pushing me!
I have tried many different classes around the city, having been a member of Class Pass for over a year and FIT Academy was the class that made me cancel my Class Pass. Every workout is different and the best thing about it is it never gets easier and you just keep getting stronger. The trainers are awesome and each one brings a different energy to class. I highly recommend giving it a try - Im positive youll get hooked!
Awesome studio with great trainers!
Ive been going to Fit Academy for 6+ months and love it! Ive always enjoyed the group classes but recently wanted to take my training to the next level. I decided to try personal training (PT). Im in the middle of my 10 PT package plan with Malik (a TRIPLET) and am seeing incredible results! Malik has taken the time to understand my fitness level, goals, and motivators. He explains every exercise clearly and always pushes me, making me feel confident that I can do 2 or 3 more reps. Im so grateful for Fit Academy (FA) and its supportive/friendly trainers--theyve become my second family! I highly recommend FA.
Up until recently, when I relocated to Philly, I had been coming here every Saturday from an hour & a half away. Its THAT good!!! I looked into other boot camps closer to where I was living but couldnt find any with offerings even close to what Fit Academy did. All the trainers are outstanding, they are patient & truly passionate about helping people reap the benefits of fitness & it shows with every session! In addition to the workouts at the Art Museum steps, they have a gym that houses their indoor equipment & is as clean, neat, & well-maintained as anyone could ask for. The environment is 100% positive, never judgement in any form! Ive always done well in smaller environments & never feel like a number. The staff does well at getting to know their clients. Youll get high-fives & respect from others taking classes as well as from trainers, even if its your first visit or you needed a few more tries to learn an exercise. Everything is at your own pace & the trainers are certified & qualified & can modify almost any exercise for those that need it. They have something for everyone of every fitness level, experience, goal, size, age, budget, & schedule. Everyone who works at Fit Academy wants every client to finish every session feeling like they got the best experience possible. All you need is a smile & a willingness to sweat! Theyre definitely worth checking out!!!
As a former college athlete, it has been hard to find a workout that pushes me and keeps me engaged at the same time. Each workout at Fit Academy is different than the last, keeping your body guessing and improving results. The team-like atmosphere is extremely fun and motivating!
Extremely motivating environment and each workout is new and challenging! Does not matter if youre a professional athlete or just starting a workout regimen for the first time, you will find your place and will not regret! Definitely one of the best gyms Ive been to in Philly. Highly recommend!
Whats not to love about Fit Academy. The classes are intense but fun. The trainers know what theyre doing and are very knowledgeable. Currently in a personal training package with Adam and its way more than I expected. The exercises are always interesting, low impact (his methods cut down on injury and recovery time) and im seeing results that I love. What more can I say, but.... you need this!
Love the facility, the staff and the mission!
I started at Fit academy Dec 4, 2019.I chose the semi-private sessions with Marko Nestorovski.Man, this dude has pushed me further than I ever thought I’d go. Turns out, I’m actually stronger than I give myself credit for. LolBut he was patient, motivating, structured all while pushing me to be my best Self.I’ve also participated in a few classes as well.It’s definitely worth it, good music, good people, great instructors to help you through the class!Keep up the good work team!🙌🏾🙌🏾Marcus
Awesome gym and even more awesome staff. Fit Academy makes you feel welcome and excited about your fitness journey - no matter where you are in your fitness level. They also have a wellness coach that checks in and holds you accountable. Maliks classes are magic - and how he remembers everyones name will remain a mystery.
Happy New Year!!!! This shout out is long overdue though I really want to say this is an awesome gym. As a Crossfitter, government wonk, and life coach I had the opportunity to visit a friend in Brewerytown and Philadelphia and check out Fit Academy and participate in a class. Needless to say - the workout was kick butt and the trainer and owner are supper cool and nice. If CrossFit is not your thing then I would highly suggest Fit Academy to succeed and exceed your 2020 goals. The staff is knowledgeable and will hold your accountable!!! I look forward to the next class!!!
I have generally been the type to prefer to workout alone, but boy has that changed since fit academy! I was always nervous about working out in coed groups for the fear of not being able to do some of the moves or being judged by the more fit individuals. At fit academy, everyone is a team and we all push and motivate each other to reach their own personal fitness goals. I have never been to a more inviting gym and Im very glad my sister and best friend got me invested in Fit Academy! We really are a fit family and I look forward to every single workout thanks to the amazing trainers and the wonderful workout buddies!!
I have really enjoyed working out at Fit Academy in Breweytown especially with Malik! Hes always super positive and motivating. He also serves as a great accountability coach which really has helped me in my fitness journey! I would recommend his classes to anyone!
Ive been going to Osayis Fit Academy Boot camps for over two years now and they are still the best workouts in the city. Every workout is fun, unique and fresh. There is a phenomenal group of trainers that motivate you through every obstacle. You will push yourself through any limitations you thought you had and become the best version of you here. I have lost weight, become stronger, and am just overall much healthier thanks to their guidance. Come give it a shot! Be ready to sweat, smile, get a great workout, and have a great time with a great group of people.
Absolutely life changing. Get you back on track with your fitness goals and keep you there. I cannot recommend more highly! Fun, motivating, and gets me moving.
Malik is an amazing instructor ! I always look forward to one of his classes because I know I’m going to be put to work while listening to the best music. There’s been times I’ve wanted to give up and he’s pushed me and motivated me to finish. I give his classes a 10/10 and would recommend it to everyone and anyone, you will NOT be disappointed ! Do yourself a favor and attend Maliks class !!
Always have a great workout I do a session with Malik and he is great he pushes you to do your best and by the end of the session Im tired but I feel accomplished. He remembers your name and he checks up on you, overall great session hes a great instructor
Ive been working with Fit Academy overall for about a year maybe year and half but these past two months have been my most consistent time working with them. I signed up for the semi personal training package and I cant say enough great things about this service. My trainer Marko keeps me focused, motivated and striving for more each session. I was so motivated after my first two weeks that I was ready to commit to 3+ days a week. I used to be someone that before this had at MOST worked out once every 2-3 weeks. Marko keeps me motivated towards my fitness and weight goals, hes got an amazing personality and he makes pushing through the tough reps SO much easier.
I reeeally like this gym because of the bootcamp classes. Having people suffering with you makes working out more fun haha! And just the variety of activities at bootcamp stops you from getting bored.All the instructors are very cool, knowledgeable and help motivate you no matter what level of fitness you are at. All positive vibes! Its also black owned which is a plus for me personally.Unfortunately its very expensive. Looking around at other gyms, I think its one of the most expensive gyms in the area (I dont know if others offer amazing bootcamp classes though!). I dont think Ill sign up with them monthly for this reason as Id like to get into a routine and I know I will bail on a routine of spending $180/month when exercise can be done for free at the EOD versus other important things I cant obtain without money. They do have a $25 drop-in fee (again expensive compared to others) which I think I will use every once and a while.
Fit Academy is the best gym in the city. If you are in the Fairmount/Art Museum area you are missing out on an incredible experience, energetic environment, great coaches, friendly and welcoming community. You can notice all the detail that was put into the gym from the moment you walk in the door and see the front desk, to the motivational words on the wall, and bathrooms with showers. Worth traveling to from all parts of the city if you are looking for a gym that cares about its members and is proven to get the results you are looking for if its to build muscle or lose weight.
If you want a great workout you need to stop by! All the trainers are knowledgeable and work with you to get results. Fantastic environment and everyone makes you feel welcomed. Glad to have them as a part of the neighborhood!!!!
Fit Academy is a great gym with a great atmosphere. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. The gym offers great group workouts and also has open gym hours and personal training. Give the group workouts a try and you will be hooked!!
Amazing boutique studio space with everything you need to get in the best shape of your life and have fun doing it--especially if youre a former athlete. Including some of the best trainers and collaborations Ive seen in Philly!
I LOVE going to workouts out at the Brewerytown location especially Malik’s classes! His classes are always full because they are intensive yet fun at the same time. He’s always smiling and gets you to smile even when you feel like your dying during the workout! It always surprises me when he is able to remember everyone’s name in the class without hesitation. This along with his willingness to motivate you is what makes him an amazing trainer!
I have been going to classes at Fit Academy for a few months and absolutely love it! I always sign-up for Maliks classes because I am always challenged and leave feeling like I had great workout. He is always so positive and pushes you to perform at your best. He gives feedback throughout the workout and even in a class setting is able to meet and differentiate everyones workout needs based on their fitness ability. I will definitely continue to workout at Fit Academy and sign up for all of Maliks classes!
I absolutely love Fit Academy Brewerytown! The workouts are challenging and fun, the people are friendly, and the trainers are awesome. I always feel welcomed and motivated there. Malik is one of my favorite trainers. Malik has great energy and is extremely personable. Oh...and he never forgets a name! Sign up for one of his classes...you wont be disappointed!
I began Fit Academy for Summer Slim Down Challenge about 4 weeks ago. I must say this was THE BEST decision I made for my fitness goals. A true Fit Fam that provided such a supportive, encouraging, and high energy environment within every work out class.All the trainers motivated me to crush my workout, especially Malik, he pushed me to be determine to exceed my goals every class. Since being with Fit Academy, I have build such a Committment, Consistency and Endurance. I highly recommend anyone join Fit Academy team to be your reason to level up on your fitness goals.Truly a Game Changer!!!!!!!!!!!
When you take a class at Fit Academy Brewrytown with Malik, you can be sure that you will get a high energy, kick butt workout! He is enthusiastic & fun, plus he has the best music. He gives individual attention & motivation during class. But the best part of his classes is that he learns and remembers your name immediately. Malik is awesome!!!!
I have been working out with Marko doing semi private PT for the last six months and I’m in the best shape of my life! I feel strong and confident with my body. Marko starts every session with positivity and encouragement to help us reach our goals. Marko is the best of the best and would recommend to anyone.
Ive been an athlete and played competitive sports more than half my life and Fit Academy is definitely one of the best movements/group training classes Ive ever been a part of. Doesnt matter what level of training you are at...Osayi will tailor any fitness program to your needs...Try it!
Up until recently I had no idea how to workout. I was doing a bunch of long distance runs followed by a quick workout at the art museum. I knew I wanted something more but didn’t want to join a gym and be lost. My friend told me to check out Fit Academy and it’s been life changing! I am in the middle of the 21 day challenge and I am feeling great. I have a meal plan I’ve been following and I have finally learned how to prep and portion my meals. Osayi and Katie have the BEST workout classes and I always leave feeling so accomplished. Who would’ve thought working out could be so fun?! Everyone should join. It’s been an awesome experience. Thanks Fit Academy!
If you are looking for a workout that is going to challenge yourself in a new or challenging way, look no further. Osayi leads Fit Academy workouts with great experience, knowledge and passion, while also providing a great social experience for each new exerciser. Give the workout a shot, youll quickly get hooked!
Knowledgeable, down-to-earth staff, motivated to help you achieve your goals! Beautiful facility and results driven programs that meet you where you are. I highly recommend Fit Academy!
By far the best gym in Philly! The trainers and members are extremely motivating and supportive. Every workout is different and will not disappoint!
Brian was a great instructor. He made exercises difficult, fun and most importantly, he made sure that workouts were executed properly.
I typically do classes at the fit academy Brewerytown location with Malik. Malik truly motivates and pushes me every class. I love that he makes it a habit to know everyone names in the class. This upper body class is to die for literally! I love that the location is so convenient for me and the staff are awesome as well.
Went to Malik’s Friday 6pm class with my sister - we LOVED IT! Awesome workout, great music, good mix of cardio and strength training. Def had me sweatin . Malik runs an awesome class, good motivation, positive feedback, good suggestions, pushed me to work harder. Can’t wait to go again !
Fit Academy in Brewerytown is awesome. I started a few months ago it has honestly changed my life. I used to be really tired after work and just go home and watch tv and crash but now i look forward to going to the gym at least 3 times a week. I have more energy and feel lighter and stronger. They trainers are great and encouraging, the classes are good for any level, and the space and equipment is clean. I just completed my second challenge and couldnt have done it without trainers like Malik and Marco. Great place if you want to start taking your health and fitness seriously
I’ve hated working out my entire life- so much so that I had given in to the idea that fitness would never be for me and I would never improve my body... until I started going to Fit Academy. Now, I truly can’t wait get to the studio every day and I’m upset if I have to miss a session.The classes are challenging but a lot of fun and every workout is different so it never gets boring. There is a great mix of cardio, weights, body weight work, and use of equipment like decks, med balls, TRX, and more.The trainers are all incredible, too. One of my favorites, Malik, is super encouraging, knowledgeable, and caring, and he brings a wonderful energy and positivity to each class. You know you’re in for a great workout when he’s leading it!Also, everyone taking the classes is really nice and friendly so you always feel like you have a work out buddy... or 10... to go with each day.If you’re looking for a great work out, definitely check out Fit Academy and get yourself to one of Malik’s classes!
Fit Academcy is an incredible experience. I am not kidding when I say that Fit Academy changed my life. Since starting personal training with Marko in November I have not only lost weight and got stronger but have gained self confidence and developed an unbelievable support system! Marko is an unbelievable trainer and he pushes you to be your best self in every way possible. When you workout with him you share the same goals when you accomplish something he also feels that happiness, and it’s genuine. You feel a sense of community at Fit Academy everyone is routing for one another and I never feel judged or inferior to anyone else. I started taking classes after I gained some confidence in addition to working out with Marko and I feel great! Not only am I getting fit but I have opened myself to a new world of fitness, friendships and support that I didn’t even know I wanted until starting Fit Academy. So check them out, you will not be disappointed!
I love it here. Been a member ever since my treadmill broke about 18 months ago. This place is really versatile with the range of skill that it meets. If you’ve never worked out, this is a great place. If you’re a workout veteran and want to challenge yourself with dynamic strength training while working in cardio- this is also a great place for you. Grab a class or an individual session with Malik. He’s a joy to be around and takes inclusivity seriously. All the trainers here are A+ but I wanted to put Malik on blast because he is so good at motivating and encouraging me past my comfort zone, which is what working out is all about. I genuinely look forward to the time I usually leave a little sweatier and having burned a few more calories after class with Malik.
I love group fitness because I feel it pushes you past your point of exhaustion, however, it can be challenging to find classes that really take you past what you normally do yourself.This definitely does.I can say that confidently as Ive been working out for years in all different kinds of establishments.FitAcademy is especially great for anyone who enjoys the boot camp / circuit training classes; mixing strength and cardio.I can tell already in just a few classes, this is the type of place you get results!
Best fitness/boot camp in Philly. i tried a dozen different classes around the city and became a member at Fit Academy after my first class.
I recently moved to the Philly area and was looking for a gym nearby. But, I wasnt looking for any regular gym with a montly membership and fitness equipment. I was looking for a community and I found that in Fit Academy!!! :) These folks have literally become my family. In my consultation, I had a sit-down with Osayi (FitAcademy Owner) and had a detailed discussion about my goals. We were able to come up with a package that fit my time and budget!! I was then linked with my Trainer Brian Pease and HE IS AMAZING! Brian has been soooo supportive in my fitness journey from early morning wake-up calls to simply just checking in. Hes always professional and always brings A game and positive energy to our sessions. I have also attended group classes and ALL the trainers are SO KNOWLEDGEABLE and really push you to be your best and also support you in your challenges. This is literally the best gym experience Ive ever had. Thank you Osayi for bringing this gift to Philly :)
Osayi is a fantastic person and trainer. Really pushes you to the limit with his workouts and cares about the individuals he works with. You will get your butt kicked here!
Fit Academy has been a god send. Its become my second home, and the people who attend there have become my fit fam! I wrote in a review on facebook a few months ago that I was skeptical when I started these classes because group classes are typically not hard enough for me. Fit Academy is not that way. Every class is challenging, but its also FUN! The new brick-and-mortar space is a stunning fitness facility, and all the trainers are top notch. They know what theyre doing, and will alter workouts for anyone who feels certain exercises are too difficult. They will correct you to prevent injury, and often explain what the movements are doing and why we do them! I highly recommend this gym and consider it to be one of the best, if not THE best fitness studio in this city.
