If youre looking for a fitness club with personalized attention by knowledgeable owners, look no further. Ive been a fan of The Crest since it was located on Lumina Ave., and can personally vouch for their high level of cleanliness, quality equipment, and dedication to members and guests. Go check it out! Youll feel like family.
I highly recommend this fitness club
I recently joined Crest Fitness with my husband Joe after 17years at various gyms. I wish I had joined long ago before wasting all those years. We have been amazed at how clean and organized and private the Club is. We always feel welcome by Nick and Wanda. My husband chose to work with Nick 3 times a week and enjoys it which he never has with previous trainers. Nick has him on the right road which includes nutrition and fitness. We both can tell Nick sincerely cares. The location is superb and the hours are great. Thanks Marylou
Best Workout in Town! If you want to workout where the owners really care about your fitness experience & well being, look no further than the Crest. The owners strive to ensure their facility is spotless, the equipment is in good order, the instructors are professionally trained and your time spent there is well spent. Given that its a more personal experience working out in a smaller facility than the big box gyms, the Crest members also treat each other with great respect, making sure the machines are wiped down, weights returned to their starting locations, and warm welcomes by most. If you want the latest fad workout, the Crest is not for you, but if you want to lock into a place thats not just a recurring charge on your credit card & you actually look forward to going to routinely, this is the place. Thanks for keeping me healthy & fit, Nick & Wanda!
I have been into physical fitness and bodybuilding for my entire life. That said I have been a member of and worked out in many fitness centers and gyms. Crest Fitness Club is by far the best, friendliest and cleanest establishment in the Wilmington area. The equipment/machines as well as the free weights are in great shape and well maintained. I actually had 6 months left at the previous gym I belonged to and stopped going once I discovered Crest. Owners are fantastic people as well. Highly recommend.
I am in town for a few days and I just needed a spot to get a good workout in. Although I ended up not being able to hit the gym (had to do a home workout) due to a scheduling conflict, I had an awesome conversation with Nick about The Crest. If the facility is anything like the owner, this is an amazing spot!*Highly recommend giving it a shot*
This is by far the BEST place I have ever worked out! Nick and Wanda and the entire staff are amazing - very knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to answer questions. I have been training with Nick for almost 4 years and he has helped me to not only reach my goals but also maintain them without the excessive dieting and/or over-the-top workouts that other gyms promote which are not sustainable. If you are looking for a great place to get your sweat on I would definitely recommend giving The Crest a try!!
I love Crest! Super clean always, the owners are always available during the day when/if needed, they offer a great smoothie bar out front ( in my opinion some of the best snd most affordable in town ), they do offer a range of free classes that you get to use upon signing up for a memebership not much of a class person my self but they are available!, they have plenty of equipment for whatever you are wanting to do in the gym from strength and core training to cardio! We searched for quite awhile for a gym that we really liked here in town where we would want to start our fitness journey, finding something local to support was very important to me and I’m so glad we came upon this place!Wish the classroom was open until 11:00 like the rest of the gym! The only part of the gym that isn’t available after the owners close the front.
I dont usually write reviews but this place is an exception, The Crest Fitness Club is an outstanding facility. From the time you walk in the door and are greeted by one of the owners to the time you leave after a tour or workout you are treated with respect by kind hearted people. The owners, Nick and Wanda, are superb. They are so welcoming and really care about their members. They go above and beyond what one would expect with a gym membership. I can honestly say for the first time that love having a membership at a gym that doesnt make me feel unwanted or insecure, where I dont feel judged and where I feel I belong. The other members are really nice and welcoming too, making me feel like Im part of a family. The Crest has a wide range of equipment, machines and classes, is very clean and a laid back place to workout.
Great place to work out! Clean machines, no wait, pleasant staff and clients. I’ve been a member several years and appreciate the convenience, hours and great classes! It is a private club at a very reasonable rate. All classrs are included free.
The Crest is a gem of a gym. From the moment you walk in, Wanda greets you by name and a smile. Nick is available to help and make sure that you are using proper technique. The equipment is always clean. Its a relaxed, friendly place to work out.
I recently moved to the Wilmington area and first on my agenda is to get fit and feel better! I had suffered some serious health issues and some very stressful life situations. I googled a list of fitness clubs and set out on a daylong adventure to check them out. The Crest Fitlnes Club by far was the best choice for me! Nick and Wanda (the actual owners) were working in the club. They made me feel very welcome immediately! My first visit to the other gyms left me feel defeated. So, it was like, Here is ALL the equipment, have at it! I havent been inside a gym in 25 years! I didnt know where to begin! I was so frustrated! Another gym was full of VERY fit women, it looked like a boot camp going on! Just watching them made me feel like I was 110 years old! I felt even worse there. Another gym had such loud music playing that I couldnt even count to myself because the booming of the music echoed through my whole body!Even though I have to travel a little farther to get there, Crest Fitness was my choice. I just started and after one week, my spirits are lifted and I am sleeping better. Most of all, I feel better about myself. Dont get me wrong, there are plenty of fit folks working out in there, but the culture of the place is like a family and you are accepted just as you are. Nick is great at guiding me to get started. He is designing a workout just for me. I want to get stronger, more fit and loose weight. Nick is also very knowledgeable about nutrition.They also have a great nutritional juice bar with real natural fruit and ingredients.I am looking forward to my move to Wilmington! If most of the people here are as friendly and helpful as Nick and Wanda, then I am going to love it here!Cheers to good health!
Best gym in town, far above Golds and Planet Fitness. There is no blaring music, the entire facility is spotless, and the staff and members are courteous and respectful. All equipment is maintained properly (looking at you, Golds) and there is always enough room and weights/machines available.
Just started a trial here and its nice. No crowds, owners are here working and remember your name. No meatheads so far. Not a scene like some of the bigger box gyms. Definitely a neighborhood gym if you like smaller less intimidating atmosphere
Great place to workout. Clean equipment, great facility, friendly staff and the personal training is excellent. Highly recommended.
I have been doing some personal training with Nick recently and must say I love it. Nick is a great coach and super knowledgeable about health and fitness. The gym is clean and not smelly... Staff is great. I would highly recommend this place if asked.
Have been a member here for several years, what I like most is that it is never over crowded so you can get in and out in a timely manner. Staff is always pleasant and willing to help and answer any questions you have. The smoothie bar is the best, they use real fruit, not that sugary syrup other places use.
Best Gym in town, hands down!Friendly and welcoming, owners Nick and Wanda are always on site to ensure all members are 100% satified with a positive workout experience. Immaculately clean ; with fresh laundered towels available creates a healthy environment you can count on.State of the art equipment is maintained regularly and kept in working order which is rare in other gyms I have found.Fitness classes including yoga and pilates are offered by professional trainees and teachers.Crest Fitness is a 24 hr access gym with safety as a priority.What more can one say? Oh yea, Wanda makes the best delicious smoothies ever!!
Choose carefully.Instead of a smile and a “good morning” members are met with a scowl and a growl by the co-owner who is under a mistaken impression that customers are there for them. Customer service is nonexistent. Space is limited and annual fee is no bargain.Plenty of other options in town.
Great gym, the people who work there make great conversation and as long as you follow the rules you’ll get a great workout. Also their juice bar is great too!!!
Very knowledgeable and attentive staff. They certainly always provide a common sense practical approach to helping you achieve the results you desire. The owner, Nick, is passionate about health and fitness. He has a genuine desire to see you succeed.
We were past members of the Crest at the old location and rejoined in 2014 when we were eligible for the Silvers Sneakers program. The move to the new location is definitely an improvement for the facility. The staff is friendly and courteous, the gym is clean and the equipment has been upgraded. However, the owner is extremely rude. We were met in the parking lot yesterday and very rudely told that we couldnt use the gym during peak hours and that he didnt make anything on Silver Sneakers and the limit was 30 minutes on cardio equipment. He assumed we knew this but we had never received any written notice of the changes. If he doesnt want Silver Sneakers then he needs to take the Crest off the list of gyms participating in the program. He could have handled this differently and with a better attitude. We wont be back.
I belong to Crest and ❤️️ It the location is great and the owners are fantastic! Its always very nice and clean and NEVER overcrowded. There is a tues/thurs class at 5:30 instructed by Paul that is a great fun one hour workout. I highly recommend checking this place out.
Great classes, and clean exercise equipment!
I love this gym!!! It’s clean, people is lovely, easy to access machines!!
I only joined because I LOVED the Monday and Wednesday zumba instructor at the time but, the instructor left, so I left also lol!!! The bathrooms are always clean and the front people are nice!!
Needs to change their website. Says visitors can buy day passes and multiple punch cards. Called in and an employee said that only associates guests can come. Clean up your site and stop wasting my time.
