Top of the line gym! Excellent trainers! I have been going to Mass F.I.T. for years and have had an amazing experience there! The equipment is top of the line, the gym is always clean, it is never overly crowded and it is a very comfortable place to work out. My fitness level has never been better and it is a great gym for women to feel comfortable training. Matt, my personal trainer, is outstanding, as is Steve the owner. Best gym!

This place is not a gym in the traditional sense. Training here has helped me build a strong foundation in strength training and functional movement. The trainers are very knowledgeable in their craft and know how much to push you to get you to the next level without injury. I have trained here both with a trainer and without and have to say that having someone keep you accountable has really pushed me to stay consistent and become much stronger. The atmosphere here is welcoming and easy-going.There are plenty of machines and lots of room for lifting with free weights; I never have to wait to use anything. Huge plus - everything is always clean!Highly recommend trying it out!

Incredible gym! Top flight trainers! Great gym for those trying to stay fit and active. Steve the owner has a thirst for fitness and working out and inspires his team and clients to get moving. The gym is very clean and the team constantly wipes down the equipment. It is very woman and family friendly and many neighbors are members. The gym is engaged with the community and gives back to the community. I have been a member for many years and have referred many other members. I love this amazing gym and I will be going for many many more years!

Started working out here last year and love this gym. I was going to a large chain gym earlier and always waited for the bench or squat rack but never here! Started an online program with Steve in February and I’m amazed at my progress and never thought it was possible. For example I put 50 pounds on my bench press in 4 months! The gym is super clean and everyone is so friendly!

Mass Fit is a hidden Society Hill/Queen Village gem. Its a clean, well resourced facility that has whatever you need to achieve your fitness goals. Steve the owner looks out for every member and you will get hands on advice and ridiculous stories whenever youre both in the gym. I highly recommend over the chain gyms in the area.

Great gym and Steve (the owner) is the best. He has an amazing training regiment for clients and is great 1 on 1. Highly recommend if youre looking to get in shape whether that is weight training or even cardio.

Mass Fit is one of the best gyms in Philly. This is a real gym made for real people of all fitness goals with a personal touch from ownership. Its authentic and has everything you need: from weight racks to cardio machines to power-lifting equipment. Steve and his staff are dedicated to providing the best fitness experience you can have in downtown Philly, whether its training or even giving a few pointers or a helpful spot. The flexible hours are an incredible benefit, and the members comprise a friendly but fitness-forward community of like-minded folks. Simply put, Mass Fit should be your go-to gym. It certainly is mine.

This place is by far one of my favorite gyms I have even been to. Steve is one of the kindest, most genuine owners and trainer who makes you feel like his gym is yours. He cares so much about his members. He and all the other trainers are so willing to help you improve your workout and make sure you’re getting the most out of it. Also this gym has every piece of equipment you will ever need, so it’s great for any workout. I really can’t say enough good things about this gym and Steve.

I trained with Steve for two years before moving out of Philly. What I loved the most was going home and taking a NAP. My workouts were thorough, and custom designed- every single session. I hated picking up the weights (I’m a grunter), but holy crow did I see results. I was the strongest I have ever been in my life. The amount of qualifications Steve has is outstanding, and his knowledge- specifically mobility- is unparalleled. Every single question is thoroughly answered, so you understand the why behind your workout, too. I learned proper posture in heavy weight lifting, which didn’t just build strength, but longevity, too. Whether you’re total novice, or a serious lifter, you want to train at Mass F.I.T. There is nowhere else.

Been training with Brendan at MASS F.I.T for a couple months now. Probably the most rewarding gift to myself EVER! Brendan has made this rather unfit, unhappy, unmotivated momma feel a ton better about herself. At the same time I’m slowly noticing changes in my daily habits. Sitting at my computer, driving my car or picking up my son; Even walking up a flight of stairs; I just feel better doing everything and my posture has improved. There is no price tag for this. The studio isn’t your normal gym. It’s a special place designed to make individuals feel confident in their own personal wellness goals. There’s nothing intimidating here. Thank you Brendan. My arms and legs are killing me tonight, but I know it’s all worth it!

I have been training with Steve (the owner) at Mass-Fit for 6 months now and the experience has been fantastic. Steve is extremely knowledgeable and truly loves what he does. He is committed to making you stronger, more flexible and pain free so you’ll have the best quality of life possible. And it works. You will feel so much better than when you first walked in the door. And the best thing is the atmosphere is great. Everyone there is fun, supportive and relaxed. You will definitely get a work out but you’ll enjoy doing it. Hard to believe but true!! It truly is the best present you could give yourself.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with the most exceptional trainer at this gym. After working with numerous trainers, Rich Decoatsworth has been by far the most professional, caring, talented trainer I’ve had the pleasure of working with. He truly cares about his clients’ success; he is your partner in the gym and cheerleader outside of it. His knowledge is vast and you’re never bored. The results speak for themselves and you’ll feel more motivated than ever!

Love this place! Steve helped me get so strong, all while relieving my pain and making me feel awesome. The trainers are friendly, helpful, and very knowledgable. Steves worked very hard to create a dynamic space for clients and trainers with state of the art equipment and a focus on strength without gimmicks. If I werent moving across the country, Id still be training here.

This gym is truly a hidden gem - easy location and the BEST equipment! Best of all, Steve is a wonderful trainer - everything is customized to you and your fitness goals. I trained with Steve for 5+ years and he transformed my body. I have never been stronger and more fit. It is fun to be there!

MASS F.I.T. is the best gym! You have to check it out! Ive been going to gyms my entire life and this is the first time Ive developed a routine that has had a huge impact on my health and body.The gym has tons of equipment and Im never waiting in line. The space is clean and full of natural light which is really helpful if you work out in the AM as I do. All of the staff and trainers are friendly and easy to talk to if I have any questions about an exercise.Ive been going to this gym for four years now, 3-4 days a week, and training with Steve, the owner. Ive reached all of my weight loss goals and, more importantly, my strength and endurance has improved immensely.I look forward to seeing Steve in the morning to work out; who can say that about thier gym experience? He gives me advice on food and provides me routines that I can move through on my own when I come to the gym outside of our scheduled sessions.You really get so much more from Mass F.I.T. than a gym where youre just another number/subscription. Definitely check this place out if you, like me, have been searching a long time for a gym experience /exercise routine that works and lasts. I found it here!

MASS F.I.T. has changed my life in ways I did not think were possible. I started training with Steve 4 months ago. It was a big decision and commitment for me as I had joined gyms and hired a trainer in the past and had very little results. This time I would quickly see and physically feel would be different. By the 3rd session my posture was starting to dramatically change in ways I and my family were noticing. Ways Steve told me could change after my screening session. I could now stand straighter, taller and felt like my feet were more firmly on the ground when walking and standing. I had not felt unsteady on my feet, but now standing was dramatically different and I truly felt more grounded. I no longer experienced occasional back pain and found myself easily carrying 50 lbs of dog food up a flight of steps. Wow!!Steve truly cares about his clients and provides guidance in lifestyle, nutrition, daily living habits in addition to excellent personal, individualized training. He taught me that making little changes on a daily basis adds up to major changes to ones life. I am so excited that I made the right decision to join MASS F.I.T. and make healthy changes in my life. I know the next 4 months will bring more positive changes and I am ready for this and more!! Thank you Steve for providing excellent training and creating a community feel at your gym that is always welcoming to all.

MASS F.I.T. is a terrific gym in Society Hill. All the functional equipment you could ever want and a great cadre of professional trainers, who are are experts in their fields. The focus is on improving movement, flexibility, and strength and more importantly sustaining them. The atmosphere is always welcoming, they are always acquiring the latest and best equipment, and the hours are convenient for most lifestyles. I would personally recommend the gym and any trainer.

Walking into MASS F.I.T. is a life changer! Go there.Ive crossed the thresholds of many a gym, but none have had such a significant impact on my fitness. This boutique gym space is a welcoming and supportive environment filled with people with common goals. MASS F.I.T. has the equipment you need, and the trainers have the knowledge to guide you to on your journey to achieving your goals with your body. The advice is science-backed and evidence based. Forget trend-based Instagram workouts and fad dieting, and do your future self a favor by walking in the door. Show up. Do the work. See the results.Thanks to you, Steve!

The trainers here are very knowledgeable. I started working out with Richard since February and I already see and feel a significant improvement on my strength. I had knee problems and previous injuries . As a professional dancer I needed to work on strengthening my body to be able to perform and keep my career. The trainers here were able to pinpoint the cause of my problems like no one else had in the past . This helped me avoid further damage and reverse the problems I had .I m looking forward to many more sessions ahead and the progress to go alone with it .

MASS F.I.T. is by far the best gym I have ever been a part of. My fiancé and I are able to do work out sessions together which makes it fun and motivating! Not only are we getting healthy and fit but they make it fun!!! Our trainer Steve is the best! He is always making us laugh and keeps us motivated. He also is more than willing to give us work outs to continue doing on our own when we go into the gym on our off days. We truly love this place! I have always been intimidated by the gym and lifting weights but they make it so inviting. All the trainers are so wonderful and go out of their way to say hello. I cannot say enough good things about this gym!! Definitely a hidden gem in Philly!

MASS fit is an excellent gym with an unbeatable location. The equipment is sufficient and has everything one would need. What sets it apart from the rest is the community atmosphere of energetic trainers and like-minded clients/members striving for a common goal of healthy sustainable body movement.

MASS Fit is awesome!!! I have been training with Steve for a little over a year now and I cant believe the difference he has made in my life. I had daily back pain for over 10 years and after a few short months it was completely alleviated. I have been dancing since I was a child and I have never felt so stable and balanced in my life. Much love for Steve and the whole crew at MASS Fit!!

Steve at Mass Fit has been my trainer, torturer and inspiration for 6 years. His new space in Society Hill is welcoming, spacious and clean. As a professional dancer, my knee pain was so bad that I was fearful for my career. The trainers all work together as a team to fix me up I highly recommend this gym and all of the trainers there.

Best place to train in Philadelphia if you really care about your body and do not want to get injured. Educated and professional trainers who actually care more about quality than quantity of movement and exercise.

Review №34

I hadnt been in a gym for 30 years before meeting Steve, but have now been working out with him twice a week foror over two years (thanks to my girlfriend who also started using Mass FIT when she started having some kneed problems). Steve took it nice and slow at first so I didnt get discouraged, but have taken it to the next level two or three times already . Just as importantly, he doesnt push my 60-year-old body (in my mind, Im still 25) further than it needs to go, so I dont worry about the risk of injury. My goal is not weight loss, but have probably traded in a pound of fat for every pound of muscle Ive gained. Further, as I split my time between Philadelphia and Florida, Steve and I have figured -- via Skype -- out how to keep it going when Im Florida. Cant recommend Mass FIT enough. But dont go if you dont like to have fun...the guys are a hoot.

As someone that has been in out of physical therapy since I was in high school with sports injuries, I have seen a lot of top end physical therapist. I never thought I would find a gym with a staff of personal trainers that are not only humble, welcoming, and kind but also had the knowledge and science that matched many of the physical therapists I have had in the past. The trainers are also able to deliver that information in a way that allows the average person to not only physicalize what the trainer is asking of them but also understand why each exercise is important for their specific pain, goals and body type.The facility is intimate yet roomy and constantly being improved. Every time you walk in there you know the owner, Steve is thinking of ways to improve the customer and member experience. There is so much care in what Steve does and that affects the way all the staff interact and train their clients.Many people including myself walk around with minor chronic pain due to lifestyle or past injuries, over the past 5 months working with Mass F.I.T. Staff that pain has gone away and I feel myself getting stronger and living a more active life.
