I highly recommend Mitchs Gym. They have every workout machine you could possibly need and probably the nicest staff you could encounter as well. It truly felt they valued each and every member who walked through the door. Much better than any commercial gym in the area and it felt really good to support local business. Great work guys!

I’ve been a member of Mitch’s for just over a month now, and can confidently say it is the most community-oriented fitness center I’ve ever joined. The staff members are committed to knowing you on a first name basis and are always incredibly friendly and helpful. Rory helped me set up my membership and voiced his commitment to accommodating any of my needs from the get-go. Mitch’s has also taken pandemic protocol very seriously with their mask and equipment sanitation policies, something the more immuno-vulnerable gym goer can especially appreciate. If you like an old school feel with iron weights and none of the flash and long wait times of a corporate gym, this is your place.

I have been a member of Mitchs since its opening and there has never been a time that I have been disappointed with their professional attitudes and friendship. They are overwhelmingly understanding of unique circumstances that may at time interfere with routine visits and have been extremely generous in their offerings; free consultation, on the spot advice, and always friendly greetings and chats. While Mitchs does not boast a fancy backdrop for exercising, the gym and locker room is always clean and equipment in working order. I would not consider another gym as I always feel welcome and comfortable at our Hometown Gym.

I have been a member since Spring, 2009, first using the facilities twice per week. Over the years I come to the gym more often and now try to get here every work day (and even some holidays). I didnt think Id miss it when Im out of town but I surely do, and couldnt wait for the reopening in early July. They have a great staff and a small town feel. Check it out.

I love Mitches Gym. I went to other area Gyms last year and came back and have been very happy I did. The atmosphere they have cultivated makes it truly feel like a family gym. Their classes are great and enjoy going there to get work out.

Mitch’s Market Street gym is amazing, great gym, great staff! I have been training with Doug Slabach off and on for several years now, and truly believe he is one of the most experienced and committed trainers around!! I started training twice a week prior to having children and postpartum. He even trained me during my second pregnancy up until I was almost 8 months! I really enjoy the variety and challenge he puts into the sessions, but most of all I LOVE THE RESULTS! He ensures that my technique is always correct to avoid any injuries and he is extremely reliable and punctual. Always set up and ready to start training ahead of time, with an exercise routine planned. Doug is focused on helping me achieve my goals and makes every session challenging and somehow fun. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their fitness with a dedicated trainer. I promise, you will not be disappointed with the results.

I wish I could give ten stars to my personal trainer, Doug Slabach who works at Mitchs Gym. If I worked with him years ago, Id avoided all those trips to the chiropractor.Dougs knowledge about the body and movement frames his creative approach to exercise. Each session offers new exercises keeping it fresh and challenging.His precision in utilizing a series of weight bearing exercises and resistance combined with his laser-like attention ensures that his client works at their edge without injury. Training with Doug was a really smart move. The massage with the deep muscle stimulator at the end of the session isnt bad either.

I rejoined Mitchs Gym after taking a position out of the area for one year. I have had a great experience so far! I jumped into the RipFit program and I have made great strides in improving my conditioning and getting leaner and stronger. Six weeks ago, I wanted to increase my commitment with a goal toward gaining strength and body composition so I started personal training with Zach. I chose Zach because his bio mentions nutrition and strength training as his areas of focus, exactly what I was looking for in a trainer. Fast forward to now, I just finished a 12 session training pack and I couldnt be happier with the results! All credit goes to my personal trainer Zach Lewandowski! I really enjoy working with him. He breaks down each training movement and emphasizes form and technique to achieve maximum results. In short, he trains you smarter, not necessarily harder. Im looking forward to continuing my training after the holidays. For those of you who are interested in getting more out of your time at the gym, personal training is the way to go. There is no substitute for a professional teaching you the proper way to do things. I am extremely impressed by Zachs knowledge of strength training and the way in which he communicates the movements. By the way, Zach also has a great personality, he makes training fun. I couldnt have found a better personal trainer for me!

Mitchs Market Street Gym is a wonderful and friendly gym. No matter what your age or gender, you are made to feel welcome and part of their family. Ive never felt judged by my age (65) or my weight (working on it!!).Every time that I come in, they greet me & always have time to answer any questions that I might have about their up to date equipment.Mitchs is also a real asset to the West Chester community. Their Toys For Tots boxes are always overflowing. They frequently have blood drives and encourage their members to sign up. Every time there is a festival in town, they are there to support the causes.I highly recommend Mitchs to be your hometown gym!!

I am an over 60, overweight off balance woman. In the time I have been working with Doug Slabach. he has helped me loose weight, gain endurance,and generally help me feel stronger. His experience knowledge and patience have given me a great deal of confidence and determination to keep going .

Ive worked out at Mitchs for 21 years. The past 10 years have been the most rewarding because of my association with the gyms Master Trainer Doug Slabach. My 5 star rating reflects that Doug is exceptionally great in his profession. He is very knowledgeable about the human body and how to care for it from the standpoint of strength, flexibility, endurance, balance and nutrition; his training methods are not cookie cutter but rather are focused on the individual. I started with Doug at age 65 and now Im in my mid-70s. Through the years, Doug tailored training to meet my needs as Ive aged. Because of Doug, today I am physically fit and in excellent health. Hes addressed my various aches and pains with various training modalities to aid my body heal itself. I could go on, but staying with Doug for 10 years should be recommendation enough; if the results werent great I would have moved on.If you want training excellence to improve your health, strength, endurance, flexibility and nutrition, you should sign up with Doug Slabach.

After years of wanting to make a lifestyle change but continually putting off joining a gym, I decided to get an introductory package at Mitchs Gym which included personal training sessions. All I can say is, WOW! What a positive and amazing experience it has been so far all thanks to my personal trainer Zack Lewandowski. As someone who has taken years off from training, I was intimidated at the process of starting from scratch. From the beginning, Zack has been very helpful in listening to my fitness goals and creating a workout that allowed me to start from a beginners level and go at my own pace, while also pushing and motivating me along the way. I began seeing and feeling results almost immediately, and Zack is always attentive to check in to see how things are going and tweak workouts as needed. While I would normally stop my workouts after I finished a package in the past, I have enjoyed Mitchs Gym so much that renewed my membership and purchased 24 additional personal training session. Although the different packages and memberships are pricey and are somewhat confusing and cumbersome, I enjoy working out with Zack so much and have seen results that I was able to overlook this. The facilities at Mitchs Gym are top notch and I really enjoy that there are different workout areas and that I was able to start my personal training in a private room 1 on 1 with Zack. I would highly recommend anyone to join Mitchs Gym and in particular, ask for Zack Lewandowski if looking for a personal trainer.

This is the best gym in the West Chester area. It has a diverse membership: people of all ages and fitness levels congregate here. The facilities are always clean; the equipment is modern and well-maintained. All of the staff members are super friendly and knowledgeable. The trainers are all nationally certified. There is never any wait for equipment. They participate in local blood drives and charity events. I could go on and on.This is the premier gym in West Chester and it is worth every penny. I can not say enough good things about Mitchs. You will not be disappointed.Source: I have been a member for over five years.

I really love this gym. I had a temporary membership last year since I didnt live in the area, I just visited sometimes. I recently moved to West Chester, and was there for the first time this morning. Its simple and clean, and everyone is friendly. It feels like home! The atmosphere is welcoming, which is much different than Ive experienced at other gyms. Im also happy to support a local business. Thanks Rory & Brian...you guys are great.

I have been going to Mitchs Gym for about 15 years. Ive worked out on my own and used a trainer. The staff is friendly and helpful, the gym is clean and there are plenty of machines and weights. Mitchs has a real hometown feel to it. You can talk to the owner and you can get advice from any of the trainers. Mitchs has everything you need to raise your fitness to the next level. You really should try it out.

Mitchs is a great gym, and hometown gym says it all. It is not a chain operation so the overall vibe is like being with good friends. The main floor is surrounded by huge windows on all sides and the gym is bathed in light. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. The equipment is top notch and carefully maintained. You cant go wrong here, it is a great place to get and stay in shape.

Mitchs is a great gym overall and I have especially benefitted greatly from working with their personal trainers. Doug Slabach is extremely knowledgeable about anatomy, strength training, conditioning and nutrition. He has pushed and motivated me beyond my personal limitations, always keeping my safety in mind. Whether you are a performance athlete or just looking to make lifestyle changes, Mitchs is your base and Doug is your catalyst.

Mitchs Gym is just a great place to work out! Ive been a member since they opened many years ago. After being at one gym or another for my whole (long) adult life, Ill never go anywhere else! Mitchs has everything I need in a gym, and the staff are fantastic! I especially like the upstairs workout area. You are surrounded by windows! Much better than the typical cave feel of a lot of windowless fitness clubs. Join up and enjoy!

Plus, the fitness classes are incredible - they really work you and are always fun! If you havent tried Mitchs yet - you really should!!!

Ive been a member of Mitchs since January 2018, and this is the first experience Ive had at a gym where I didnt throw the towel in after a few months. Its a really unique space, which makes working out feel more enjoyable - and the staff is terrific! Would definitely recommend.

Great gym. Always friendly staff! If youre looking for a serious gym to stay in shape, help you get back into the right track, or just a place to relieve stress. Then this is the place for you! Its never too crowded where youre consistently waiting to use a machine. The free weights are always available as they have at least a pair of each weight. There are alot of other amenities that I have not listed. Check it out and you wont be disappointed!

I love this gym! Their EZ Fit program is the only fitness program Ive ever stuck to, personalized but you can go anytime and the workouts are waiting for you, with the help of a trainer as needed. The gym is very clean, very spacious, the staff is super friendly and helpful (as I often dont know what I am doing with some of the equipment!) and the group classes and gym hours are very convenient. Plus, I am a local business owner and love to support other local business owners. See you there!

Mitchs is a fantastic hometown gym. The staff truly cares about the members, and each staff member is available and willing to help. The age range seen at Mitchs is unparalleled- from young athletes to older people trying to stay healthy, Mitchs has something for everyone.

Nice people working there. Not too many d-bags Ive come across while working out, that counts for some extra points. I like the set-up they have in there, its unique to the area - lofty/warehouse building. Always had enough cardio equipment when Ive been there. The thing I like too is theyll share the numbers with you so you can plan to go at less-busier times if you have that ability.

Great laid back no-fluff gym. Lots of natural light in a clean, rustic, old warehouse style setting. Solid equipment for those serious about training. Great alternative to the franchise gyms filled with bros and people taking selfies and looking at their phones every 15 seconds.

Ive been a member of Mitchs for 6 years. I have a personal trainer I meet with 3 times a week. Shes helped me achieve long standing fitness goals and helped me become a healthier, happier person. I participate in a number of the group classes including yoga, piyo and RipFit. Each has its unique benefits. The entire staff, as well as the other members, are all friendly and welcoming. They even allow their employees to bring their dogs to work -- who doesnt love having the chance to pet a dog before, during or after your workout?

Ive been a member of Mitchs since March 2015. In the beginning, I thought it would be a good testing ground to see if I liked it and would use it. At 62 and being new to physical activity, I was really planning to join a gym with a pool & spa, since thats what I knew I would use. Well, Mitchs was just so darned friendly and easy feeling, I discovered this was the place I was always looking for. They do have a sauna, which has so many more health benefits than a hot tub! While there are plenty of body-builder & fitness guru types, I never felt out of place or embarrassed by my extraordinary level of UNfitness. There are plenty of us, too! I cant say enough good things about the place or the staff. And, they are saving my life! Try it!

I have been working out for 20 plus years. I have done body pump, Pilates, curves, you name it. Ripfit is by far the best workout of them all! It is different every time. The instructors are great and everyone can do it because you do anything for 2 minutes! Mitchs has a great attitude, great employees and all are welcome.

Mitchs truly has a great neighborhood vibe. You always see the same folks, everyone is friendly, and if you go often, youll be known by name! Donna, the owner, is sweet and caring, and so is the staff. They recently got new treadmills which are good quality. Its also nice to have a gym within walking distance from home. My only gripe is this gym is missing some of the more standard updates that you see in other gyms, like wifi! And the music is usually not so great, so bring headphones for sure.UPDATE! 1/20/15 The music has significantly improved over the past few months, and as of yesterday there is wifi :) 5 stars all around!
