Was in town for the weekend and found Optimal sport 1315 on internet and it was just a few blocks away. This is an amazing gym no matter what style of workout you like to do. I’m an old school lifter but there was plenty of cardio and CrossFit type equipment for everyone. Wish my home gym was as good as Optimal. The staff is was also friendly and helpful.

Poor management with accounts. I canceled my membership in 2017 in person and was told my account was closed and did not owe anything else. I just received an email from a debt collector 4 years later saying I owe $90 from Optimal 1315. Would not recommend this gym.

This my regular gym because they all have different types of equipment and an attentive trainer that will assist you. Highly recommended!

Standard gym with everything you NEED. A bit older machines, but still good. Available through ClassPass.

Completely agree with the 5-star reviews below. Ive been a member for well over a year now, and I love this gym, which is perfect for me. It has everything I need to do the workout I want, and doesnt charge me a bunch of extra money for a bunch of extra stuff. Price is great. Its also totally unpretentious and non-judgmental--the people who work out there are generally fit but its clear that all are welcome, and it has never felt like people are there to stunt or show off. Everyones just there to exercise and happy to be doing it. I love that. The membership agreements are straightforward and the staff are friendly. So glad I joined.

This gym is pretty sweet. 1) Great management with Marissa as the manager and everyone there is super friendly and cool. 2) It has everything you need with an upbeat atmosphere/music. 3) Its probably the cheapest gym youll find anywhere in the city. I looked at 3 other gyms that were 2-4x as expensive. Even without price as a consideration, I actually liked this one the best.No one from Optimal Sport asked me to write this, I just thought I should because I like what they are doing.

Optimal is an amazing gym. Jeff, owner of the gym is very attentive to the needs of is clients, case in point when a city sink hole was created in front of the gym. Jeff was able to keep all members informed about the progress of getting us to a temp gym and kept us posted on when we could go back in. The gym has everything you need; best trainers, great equipment, new equipment coming in all the time. The staff are always friendly- Kathy is amazing. Honestly, you want a gym with all that you need, Don’t want to spend triple digits to sweat in, come check it out! They won’t disappoint.

I enjoyed the time I was able to attend the gym. Friendly staff and great trainers (Hi Mike F.). The nature of my work kept me from taking full advantage of the facilities. Sorry to leave but my project is over.

Update: I’ve since canceled membership, but I felt like 1 Star was too harsh so I bumped up to 2 stars. I really did like some of the trainers there. However, I have found another gym in a better location with a better price and better customer service. Do your homework people!___Unfortunately I have to leave a bad review for this gym based on their too strict policies for guests. When you start to run your small business like a giant corporation it’s an immediate turn off to me.The way it was explained to me by the manager:I brought a guest with me. My guest had been there before as a guest with a different member a while ago. I have never brought a guest with me. The manager said it would be “unfair” to let my guest in because they had been there before and already had “plenty” of time to get a feel for the gym.I wasn’t asking for unlimited free guest passes. Just one. One time.I’ve never felt as unappreciated as a customer, so unfortunately I’ll be cancelling my membership. Other gyms at the same price point have all the same equipment and better “policies”.

Awesome gym!I like the variety of equipment they have which is perfect. Plenty to do so you wont feel like your doing the same thing over and over again Everytime you go!Staff thier is chill and very helpful.Overall atmosphere there is good! Well worth stopping by to check out!! Definitely top 5 gyms in the city!!

This gym is incredible! The equipment is all new, always clean. The people and management are friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Ive not taken the classes yet but my friends love them. An excellent gym in all aspect for extremely good prices. Hopefully they keep the same management and stay like this for a few years!!!!

To start, they have a fantastic location. On top of that, they have TONS of incredibly well-maintained equipment for basically any type of workout you could want to do. They have plenty of floor space and more than enough free weights to go around. They do get busy during weekday evenings but I’ve never had to stop what I was doing wait for a machine. As a bonus, the staff is friendly and receptive to comments and questions. If you’re looking for a great gym in the city, look no further!

What a great gym!! Located in downtown Philly, Optimal Sport 1315 has friendly staff and great personal trainers. Personally, I like the Optimal Workout, because Im able to get group training at a reduced rate. The gym is very clean, with all the workout equipment anyone needs to get or stay in shape. I really wish I could give Optimal more stars --because 5 stars just arent enough to convey how much I love this gym.

* Edit since I cannot respond *I have text message proof dated Oct, 2017 notifying your then manager that I was still getting charged for my account closed several months prior. Now, ONE YEAR later, there were three more charges. THEN your manager now, Marissa, informed me that you would refund only 4 months of my STOLEN money yesterday and it wasnt until I told her I would go to the police and file a report that the payment service called me to inform me that they had taken care of my STOLEN money and returned it to my account.You are a liar. And a thief. And you may be able to bully others that dont know better, but not me.Original post:Charged me for 6 months after I cancelled my membership, after charging me for two months that I already cancelled. So 7 total months of unauthorized charges. I called, they offered me 4 months back. UH NO. I will take every month in refund that you stole from me.May I take a moment though to give Marissa, the manager, credit. She was very kind even after her employee forgot to mute the phone and called me nasty names. Although she did not get this resolved and I had to go through their payment service, she was as helpful as can be. The owners are a different story.Do not waste your time here, they steal and hope you dont notice. Fitness Works in South Philly though is an amazing gym!

I recommend Optimal Sport 1315 all the time to inquiring talking heads. The group classes are included and the instructors are knowledgeable and bring enthusiasm to assist others achieve their fitness goals. This gym is a terrific value with a convenient midtown location. They excel in customer service!!

Edit 2/3/2019: Jeff, the owner, was immediately responsive to the trouble I had cancelling my membership and I see the refund processed on my credit card. Thank you for your help.As a member for 3 years, I found the facility to be serviceable with equipment usually available at peak hours and generally friendly front desk service.

Love working out at this gym! I go about 5x per week with my husband. Its in a convenient location and they have enough cardio and weight training equipment to work with. Also, if your looking for a personal trainer, I would look into meeting with Guy Nanni. He is awesome and comes up with creative workouts, pushes you, and accommodates your schedule!

Ingage Security has enjoyed a great relationship with Optimal Sport 1315 for about a year now. Our team needs to stay fit and healthy and this facility has everything they need and it is easy to get to.The management worked out a corporate rate for our people, giving us even greater value. Some of our team took advantage of their Optimal Workout, which I believe is complementary for 4 weeks with every membership. They included it for us.Businesses have to support each other and being a relatively new business, that support is critical. Optimal Sport 1315 understands that and made dealing with them simple.Thanks guys.

*EDITED: The owner reached out to me and refunded by money for the month and apologized for the service. My original review is below.*I signed up for the 30 day free trial. I had issues with the bench press bar being too high so did not want to continue at the gym. I went in to cancel my membership a week after I signed up for the free trial since the membership would automatically roll into a monthly membership. The staff there told me she would take care of it and cancel my membership and said she would send me email confirmation. I never received confirmation so I called in to check on the status and once again a different staff member told me he would take care of it. A few weeks later I get a bill in my email to pay for the membership. I called in to see why my membership was never cancelled and turns out I had to cancel through a the billing company, which no one ever told me. I ended up still having to pay despite talking to another staff member about my situation. This is no way to do business, especially since I had tried to cancel my membership way before the trial was over. Dont fall into this trap and get scammed out of your money too.

Could be the coolest gym in Philly. Very slick decor but hardcore with the weights and machines. I was sore for days after an Optimal Workout. Its the best. You should try it. I def recommend.

15$ for a day pass is a little high priced. The gym was most definitely cold might be due to being in a basement. Other then that it was a great place to workout. Very nice staff. All the free weights and bumper plates one could need.

What can I say? By far, one of the best gyms! The staff is friendly and the environment along with music, sets the pace for my workout. The trainers are awesome and so helpful. The value is great for the price.

Great gym with kind and friendly staff!

I was really impressed by how clean the gym is. The staff is very friendly and there is plenty of room to workout. This is by far the best gym in the area...

Relaxed, friendly, and non-judgemental workout environment

Optimal Fitness is the temple of iron that we need in these trying times. The gym has everything a fit young buck like myself needs to prepare my glorious body. They offer two rows of treadmills for you to run from your past sins and into a brighter future. In addition to that they offer a varied selection of machines for you to use. I however will conquer this battle of man vs machine with the help of my heroic trainers, who are experts with both individual attention as well as group classes. I myself dedicate my craft toward the free weights as is tradition in my nordic family. After leaving such a welcoming community o health the only thing more optimal than your physique is the free wifi signal for members. Bravo Optimal Fitness, bravo!

By far the best, cleanest and friendliest gym in Philadelphia. Theres plenty of machines and its very convenient for me to get to. I highly recommend Optimal Sport 1315.Kevin ShapiroMae Downs & Co.

This is a great gym in every way. It is always clean, the staff is really nice, and they have a variety of different classes that I enjoy attending. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone!

Great gym in a great location! They have everything you need to get in shape. Top notch equipment, 1on1 training, and group training all in a nice modern gym just off of Broad and Walnut!

Now that Im getting older, my fitness goals needed a reassessment. The folks at Optimal worked with me to develop a strategy to achieve greater core strength, better balance and overall fitness. Ive how an amazing trainer, Dan B, who is very knowledgeable and committed to my success. He just gets it! Good equipment and cardio machines. And the best- they have rowing machines- my favorite cardio workout!

Awesome Gym, with cool staff and always clean. never has its weights all over the ground like those overcrowded gyms. prices are very reasonable.

The better of the 2 center city locations in my opinion. I say that because it is a larger sized gym with an extensive amount of equipment! This location has a great class selection and the classroom is amazing! The energy in this club will get you motivated, and, coupled with the amazing staff, you will never be disappointed in your workout! The bootcamp style class on Wednesday is top-notch! I recommend it to everyone! The training staff at this location is beyond knowledgable, professional, and down right extraordinary! This gym is by leaps and bounds the best value in center city Philly!

Absolutely love this gym!! The staff and the service are fantastic. The equipment is solid and the trainers are exceptional. Love it here!

The best gym around! The staff is extremely friendly and the facility is very clean. I highly recommend this gym to everyone.

Would give 0 stars if possible. One of the worst experiences I have had with any gym and I have belonged to about a dozen. The facilities are fine but the management constantly lied about the Curtis Center location and the future in the building. They caused people to sign contracts and would not let them out of it after the gym closed. You read that right, they continued to charge people for a gym that was no longer open. If you are thinking about joining this gym, READ the contract and try to get a clause added that says it will terminate if/when the gym closes.

Stayed in the area on business and used this guy... It worked out great for me

Fantastic place. It is a place you cant afford to miss!!

$29 late fee on membership? Scummy.EDIT: WOW. The owner left a message on my cell phone bargaining to waive the late fee in exchange for removing my review. Super scummy.Furthermore, the responses are lies. I have a record one exactly one call from the club AFTER posting this review, a call from someones cell phone AFTER posting this review, one email reminder, and one call from their payment processor informing me of the late fee.You know, Ill stop in to make sure I receive a document validating my membership termination. Based on the previous reviews regarding your business and your payment processor, it sounds as though theres more going on here. Your dismissive tone in any negative review of your business and your clear misunderstanding of your own business practices speaks volumes.

Extremely friendly front staff and clean facilities, a great value for the money.

Friendly staff, clean environment. overall an excellent value. Best gym in the city

Great Gym with friendly staffers. Always very clean. Proud to work here.

Almost done with my 7-day free trial, and I absolutely love it! Everything is clean and neat, and the staff is very helpful.

Amazing staff and great communication with members! Hours are phenomenal and work with my busy schedule.

So awesome, dope and diverse. Great folks.

I love the staffs at this gym, they are very friendly. The gym is clean, good equipments, and they have very good trainers.

There is a nice vibe at this gym in the center of it all. Friendly staff, clean and the best trainers.

I love this gym, great vibe, clean, friendly and not over price.I recommend this gym to any one.

Great place to work out! Equipment is always working, friendly staff with a wide variety of classes and trainers.

I called to cancel my membership months in advance, and I was told it was cancelled. Then I called back, a month before my membership was set to expire, and they confirmed my membership had been cancelled. Then they continued to bill me after my membership supposed ended, and refused to refund me, when I spoke to the manager about it. I spoke with Marissa, who was no help, and told me that they had switched my membership without telling me.

REAL GYM. REAL PEOPLE. REAL RESULTS!
