Reviews of Family Fitness of Standale (Gym)

Susanna Rozema

We appreciated the time Lilly spent giving us a tour and explaining the membership benefits. Looking forward to expanded options at this gym.

Tania B

Really like the 24/7 access, lilly was great in helping us open our account

Dan DeWulf

Equipment is close together, but everything is clean and in working order. Good selection of weights, machines, and classes.

Amanda Casebolt

Well, I've read other poor reviews and am having the same issues. No one should give money to this company. They seem to want to harass me for $35 when I cancelled and they never responded AND have received far more of my $ then they EVER should have. The gym opened way after promised date. Nothing was complete there for weeks if not months. Equipment is garbage. I'll be going to BBB.

Marcus Washington

24 hours which is great, the staff is great and very friendly. Especially Mercedes and Brittany!

Brandi Hinton

I've been a member for a few months now, and Family Fitness has been very welcoming! They're very hospitable, the equipment is clean, and with them being open 24 hours it accommodates to my third shift work schedule great!

Brian Carmody

Heidi has helped me obtain my workout goals. Taylor was a great help at the desk. She helped with my card when it wasn't working for me.

Crystal Cunningham

Great staff and friendly atmosphere ! Well worth checking out

Patty Gebhard

I love the entire staff!! Kylee, Ty, Heidi, the classes are amazing... Travis with insanity! Ty with circuit training and boot camp, Crystal with yoga and tabata!!!! Love this gym so much!!! Heidi with circuit training!!!!

jacob debruyne

I love this place super friendly people, clean sanitary work out equipment. If your looking to get in shape come to this gym!! You won't regret it!!! PS I have to say every one here is my favorite. I can't list a favorite trainer or staff member their all awesome!!!

John Pennell

I had lost my card and DeJuan helped me out no problem! Great staff!

Jonathan Pyle

Well known as a scam company. Do some googling before giving them any of your information. Known for sending people who were on month to month contracts to collections months or years after the month to month contract is cancelled.

Jordan Bartnick

Awesome gym! I just joined today and I owe it all to Britney! She was very friendly and knowledgeable, and was willingness to help me in any way she could. I definitely would recommend this gym too anyone in the market for a new place too workout!

Sandra Griffor

Yoga three days a week at 8 am with Larry starts the day off right.

Phil Espinoza

Get creative in 2016 get started ! At family fitness in standale open 24/7 go for It! U CAN DO IT what's your plan superman.

connor Demeester

The 24 hour access is awesome. The staff is amazing and will help you with anything that you need help with especially Brittney and Mercedes.

Ann Lobert

Do not....I repeat DO NOT pay for a membership with a credit card at this establishment!! I've been a non active member for quite sometime and attempts are still being made to charge my credit card that they have on file!!! Thankfully this credit card # no longer exists but scary to think if it were what kind of unexpected charges could have been made to my account!!

Derek Pahl

Not bad overall. For the price better than Planet Fitness but how do they not get Fox Sports in there? I'm probably canceling because I cant watch the games while I workout because I got during those times because of work. I know there has to be other gyms that have it.

Jacob Knowlton

I come with a friend who has guest pass privileges! All of the employees are really friendly!

Ian Hilgendorf

I go super early so almost no one is there, which I like a lot. Decent selection. Wish they had a rowing machine and more kettle bells though.

Jordan Salinas

I've been coming to this gym for a little over a year! I like how I could freeze my account when I left for the summer. If you have any questions or want to get a membership, make sure you go and see Mercedes! She's the best

Lindsay Hummel

A little dated and missing some equipment I like, but it gets the job done.

Ryan Wickstrom

A few months into my membership and I really enjoy it. Great group of members, everyone seems to be really friendly. It's always clean and organized. Has everything you'd need for weight lifting and cardio. The manager, Shawn, has been able to get me and many of my friends a membership at a GREAT price.

Mrs. Herpin SLL SLL K-1

StAndale is Awesome! And Mercedes is great!

Brittany Dudick

WORST gym experience. you will get stuck in a long term contract with no way out

Steven Michael

I don't like this gym.

Lohith nimmala

Good but not great, just two bench press and squat equipment so be ready to be waiting in line

John Hopwood

Needs some updating but very convenient

Tina Rickert

Finally committing to my health! Mike has been so helpful in getting me there! Thanks

cheyenne Jordan

Scammed my friend out of a lot of money

Amanda Weckler

POSITIVE: I absolutely loved this gym. Having Ty as a personal trainer was great! I learned so much from him! NEGATIVE: I moved to Texas and since I did not have a permanent address to provide them with, they would not cancel my contract using the "moving fee" which was $75.. INSTEAD they made me pay them $300 to cancel my personal trainer contract..even though I showed them proof of my TWO new jobs in Texas, with my temporary address. I think it is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous that they would not accept these as proof. VERY UPSET.

Lyza Ingraham

I was looking for a way to get back into going back to the gym when I moved to Apple Ridge Apartments. The staff were wonderful and the process to start a membership with them was easy and informative! I love how close I am to the place! I feel comfortable and don't feel judged when I go in. I absolutely appreciate the women's zone in the back with the circuit training near the locker room! Another plus is that they are 24/7 and that works great with my 2nd shift job. All of the classes are included with membership which is another great way to get back into a work out regime! I would recommend getting a membership here! The cost of my monthly bill with Family Fitness for two people is less than some folks get for one membership other places! A great deal, wonderful staff, great workout options and they even have a tanning bed what more could you ask for?

Ricky Butrick

Mercedes, Britney and deJuan are awesome. They always greet me and make me feel welcome! I love that I can come in at any time and it's close to home! Grace keeps this location super clean. I really recommend this gym!

Teila Bauer

Great gym with a nice and clean environment. Staff is friendly, Jeff is very helpful.

Michael Lichter

My brother and I just got a membership here and we love it! They have all the machines I need and Britney and Mercedes are the coolest girls ever!

Matthew Linscott

Close to Home, 24 hours access, all the weights and machines I need, and an awesome staff. I highly recommend it.

Marie Johnson

I love the women's workout room and workout classes available! They have a lot of variety of machines to use. Everything I need is here at a reasonable price close to home

Stephanie Bridenstine

NO-DON’T GO- DON’T SIGN UP-NO

Justin Ball

The gym is great! The best part is the 24/7 access. There is nothing better than finishing a workout before other local gyms even open. The staff is also great. All of the employees are very helpful and friendly.

Blas Salazar

I really like this location very close to home. lilly explained everything very well when I opened our account.

Sam M

This place is a scam, do not sign a contract with them!

Tyler Purcell

This gym is right around the average marker. I was told I’d have VIP Guest Access with my membership, and is one of the sole reasons I signed a contract at this location. 4 months into my membership, they strip me of that privilege, and I get to pay the same full price I was paying. The only perks I have now are access to other Fam. Fitnesses and the fact that it’s a 24 hour gym (not impressive). One of the least cleanlier gyms I’ve been at, and the equipment is not prime whatsoever. I got charged a random $88 for an ‘Enhancement Fee’ that no one ever addressed with me when signing up. This is now my 5th month here, and I’ve been paying on average $53 a month for a lower-end, not highly maintained gym. I’d go elsewhere if at all possible. Staff is at least friendly, but don’t go out of their way to save you any money for real. Being a college student, it really hurts when you get hit with these random fees/have your $5 perks taken from you, and no discount ensured with the removal. Best, Tyler Purcell

Jenn P

I've been with Family Fitness Standale since they opened and I LOVE it!! I am meeting my fitness goals thanks to my personal trainer Lilly and Insanity instructor Travis! Not to mention I've made new friends who have similar goals and interests to mine.

A Lilley

Great clean place, friendly helpful staff!!

Andrew Jennings

Mercedes and Britney are dope

justin hindo

Mercedes was a great help! There are unlimited guest passes and they are open 24 hours which is perfect! Seriously a great gym and staff.

Ryan Dillon

Smaller than other locations, but convenient if you live close and want to get a quick workout. Clean facility with friendly staff. Not usually crowded.

Elie Sanestin

Awesome place to great a pump in. Large selection of machine and free weights.

christian deWit

I just wish there was more stuff and more variety. I love it though and I'm there almost daily

Travis V

I was solicited with a phone call saying I had won a 2 year contract. When I went to the gym for the first time the membership I had won was actually full price. I was disappointed that they would waste another persons time with such deceptive marketing.

Adam Zdybel

Family fitness of standale is a friendly clean facility and it's always open 24/7. I've been a member since they opened and have been satisfied ever since. Kylie was one of the first employees there from the beginning and she's always happy to help!

Janet Behrens

Standale location . The gym it's self is fine, but if the classes are what you want forget it. The schedule changes constantly and with no regard for attendance. Extremely poorly managed.

Matt Miller

Great gym! Its open 24/7 which is really convenient! The staff is super friendly, especially Brittney and Mercedes.

Ronald Rounsifer

I like the variety of classes offered and I really enjoy the fact that you have access to all of the gyms located around the country. Kaitlyn provided my girlfriend and I a very welcoming experience.

Brittany Cummings

Excellent place. I would definitely recommend this to anyone not your typical gym hulk Haven but u feel comfortable when u work out and not intimidated. I love this place and my favorite is Ms Heidi she is fantastic. Please if you looking for a gym come here!!!

Julia Vogel

I signed up for a membership here before the Standale location opened. While it did take them longer than expected to fully open, now that it's fully open I don't have any real complaints. I did sign a 3 year contract, but it was not unknowingly. I do not understand all of the reviews I've seen that state they were tricked into signing a 3 year contract or signed it unknowingly. How do you not know what you're signing? Read the contract, people. The annual "maintenance" fee of $44 seems silly, BUT it's not something that isn't written into the contract and that I wasn't told about. I am also very aware that if I want to cancel within my 3 years, it will be hard to get out of. But that's what a contract is. And if you want fitness to be part of your lifestyle, paying $25 a month for unlimited access to gyms all around Grand Rapids for 3 years is a decent deal. I've been going for a year and a half now and I don't intend to quit in the next year and a half. My ONLY concern is that when my 3 years are up, I'm not sure if they will try to auto-renew my membership or make me pay a fee to not renew it. I have seen dozens of reviews of people having a hard time breaking their contract before it expires, but I haven't seen many people talk about what the process is like for them once their contract is fully up.

Teri Krebsbach

I loved how easy it was to join and the rates are very reasonable. Heidi seems really nice so I cannot wait to start my workouts

David Strotheide

This place is great! I've been a member for a couple months now and Mercedes always has a smile on her face when I come in! She's the best

Ben Avery

Haven't heard from this gym in quite some time, but I'm just going to remind everyone that sees this that this place will scam you out of hundreds of dollars.

cody Ireland

Amazing gym Mercedes's and Britney are great staff!

Jm Fernandez

24/7 . Great place

Rick D.

Awesome atmosphere, very clean and no frills gym, and the variety of classes available is a great added bonus. Taylor especially is very knowledgeable, and answered any questions I had, very welcoming. Thank you!

Melanie Terpstra

Dejuan's my fav

Michael Kolarik

The location is perfect for my daily routine and commute. The staff is so friendly, especially Britney. Highly recommended.

Leticia Cuadra-Ballard

Just took zumba class with Aimer at Family Fitness Standale. She is great. I was able to follow her with no problem definitely will be back.

mert fish

I love the 24 hours option and the staff is really friendly. Plus the Zumba class is super fun!

Leigh Anne Yow

Family Fitness took awhile to get up and started but it is finally here and I love the fact that I can come anytime 24/7 days a week. The place is very clean and the workers are so nice and caring. My husband and I were so excited that a Family Fitness came to Standale. We needed a gym so bad. We have sent so many of our friends and family there and no complaints from anyone. Keep up the great job!!!!

Pat Hoogewind

Love Yoga with Terri

Luke Soltani

Clean gym & friendly staff

Alec Martelle

My girlfriend has been a part of this gym since September of 2015 and is wanting to cancel because of the cost (she pays for a personal trainer which is $100 a month on top of the normal $28 membership fee). In order to cancel (which is poorly translated in the contract) you have to submit a letter of cancellation to corporate 30 days in advance of payment (for such a small company this is pointless in my opinion) and in my girlfriends case, she has to pay a cancellation fee of $550 just for the personal trainer!! I personally find this ridiculous especially since the contract doesn't clearly indicate such an enormous charge. Family fitness has been known to have trouble before according to the Better Business Bureau. I find Family fitness's business tactics and prices disgusting especially since it's just a local gym. If I could give this organization a 0 out of 5, I would.

Maureen Nyenhuis

I really enjoy going to the Standale Family Fitness Center. The staff are great, all the people I've met there are great. Great trainers like Ty that really take their time to assure you are doing the best you can, and correctly.

Ray

Heads up, all the 5 star reviews get a member entered into drawings to win a television. Make sure you see information in writing before you sign anything, as there are hidden fees. Staff is friendly but make sure what they say is in writing. Place is clean, and has a lot of quality equipment. This location does not have childcare.

Aaron Amato

Really nice location with 24 hour access. The manager Kylee is awesome and she creates a great atmosphere here! Really happy this location is here along with all the other Family Fitness locations around town.

Cody Zink

Clean gym and a friendly staff. Always willing to help. Friendly atmosphere.

Lisa Carter

Pure amazing!

I. Ali

Awful Hardly any variety in equipment. Old equipment. Clean.

Derek Verbruggen

The convienence of 24 hours really makes working out fit into my schedule

Primitive Tech

Great place to workout! Very comfortable and friendly atmosphere! Offers many classes! Just love it!!

Adam Voss

So far I've been really happy with my experience here. Jason and the rest of the staff are super friendly and helpful, and its a nice atmosphere to work out in.

Lea Stoutenburg

Just got a membership here and I am loving it! Lilly did a great job getting me set up and excited to workout!

Tyler Stewart

Great gym!! Clean, friendly, competitive prices, and has all the equipment you will need!

John Brown

Gets the job done. I do heavy weightlifting so I use a power rack and I bench and deadlift so it has all I need, is cheap, and open 24 hours.

Sam Butterwick

Great service from Kylee, didn't push the service and explained everything in detail without blinking an eye. Thank you!

Christine Andersen-Chase

Our family has enjoyed the new Family Fitness facility! There is a lot of variety to meet everyone's needs! Heidi and the other staff are always eager to help!

charlene graham

I signed up back in January and didn't go for a while but when I finally got in I ended up getting a personal trainer Lilly and she is amazing! She keeps me motivated and pushes me without pushing me to far. She works with my schedule and my strength level and doesn't give up on me. They have an amazing payment schedule so I don't even need to worry about it and if I need to change a date they work with me which is amazing. They are such an amazing team and I love it. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for a great team who works with you!

Blahs1953 Loveme53

Family Fitness of Standale is a great place to get in shape!! I signed up w/Kylee and she does a wonderful job of creating a welcoming atmosphere, which akes it a pleasure to exercise. There are a wide varity of ages and all ae welcome. Ty is a great trainer and knows his job very well. Ome jon us!! It's a lot of fun and yu will great. Suzy where are the emojis

Alisha Doorn

The staff is very pushy but that's a good thing!

Madison Nichols

Excellent gym with a great amount of things to use.

Wendy Ballard

I have never committed to a gym membership so of course I was nervous to do so but Lilly the person who helped me was so friendly. She made sure I got the plan that worked for me.She wasn't pushy at all. She simply showed me their options and allowed me to choose a membership that worked best for me. Visiting other gyms there was always these backhanded compliments as if that would motivate me to work out. It's not that way here. I feel safe and comfortable to walk in and do my thing. It's also close to home, open 24 hours, and I have several friends who go there now too!

Rachel Moore

I love family fitness and that i can use any location! Britney at the standale location is super friendly and super overal! Highly recomend!!

amardeep sahota

Great classes, enjoyable

Murph

Very clean Gym with a solid free weight selection. Kylee was fantastic at explaining everything when I signed up!

Matthew Anderson

Cool staff. Come here and exercise instead of staying home doing nothing

Macarone

I love this gym! I always forget my scan card (on my other keys cause you know im a baller with two cars) and mercedes (who is so sweet) will scan me in. Come check them out!

SayianKINg420 DBZ

Great staff, really encouraging, and awsome enviorment overall. 3months in and couldn't see me having a complaint in the future. Use me as a recommendation if you need to.

Stephanie Bursley

I really like this gym and the fitzone for women- the staff is super friendly espcially Britney and mercedes!

Bethany Suttorp

I love the 24-7 access for members, the friendly staff (especially Dani who always has a smile on her face!), and the women's weight zone. The machines are easy to use and the atmosphere is generally happy and helpful.

Jodi-ann Currie

I love how convenient this gym. It really close it my home and school. Brittany at the first is really cool. She help a lot.

andrew opatik

Not bad. I wish the locker room was a bit better kept up. Dont dig seeing spatter in the toliet every time i go to use it....Gross

Alex Snyder

Great place to workout. Great environment and good equipment.

Jason Strube

Been with family fitness for a couple months now and Mercedes is by far my favorite employee! If you go there make sure you ask for her! This gym has everything I need.

Trisha Olree

Family Fitness is my favorite gym!

Sue Vankoevering

I love the place, the instructors and the people that work there are great. I so far have enjoyed all the classes I took. I even made a lot of new friends 5 stars for Standale. My favorite instructors are first Crystal and second Heidi. There classes are fun, and they teach you a lot.

gabriel castillo

hope you guys dont sign contracts. i was on a month to month basis and they still sent me to collections.

Heidi Campbell

I came in here to workout. Loved the staff and environment so much that I started working here...Kylee, Lilly, Taylor, Ty, and Jeff all made me feel right at home with them. I wouldn't go anywhere else besides here to workout!!

Connie Burggraaff

My favorite staff member is Heidi and I Love the cardio workout I can do while I'm there

Sylvia Erspamer

We have been going to FF in Standale since February. We (my husband and I) have had three trainers - Rachel, who left to continue her education in Iowa; Lily, who's class schedule this fall did not accomodate our schedule; and now Zak. Everyone of them has been great. What is important to me is their emphasis on correct form and knowledge of anatomy. No use doing the work if you are doing it wrong. Everyone is friendly and always helpful.

James McCarthy

The atmosphere is very friendly. The equipment is very high quality and Mercedes, Brittany, and Dejuam always give you a nice greeting and you know they're cheering you on.

steven Jeffrey

Awesome gym, its on my way home and the staff makes you feel welcome every time! Trainers are great and equipment is well kept!

Emerson Moore

This gym is perfect! I love how they offer 24/7 and I can bring my friend with me! Make sure you ask for Mercedes or Britney. They always have smiles on their face.

Devin Banagis

Family Fitness has great equipment and plenty of space to get a good workout in at. Kylee is always very polite and helpful when it comes to helping me increase my workouts

Daniel Prego

I love coming to this gym, the gym has equipment to fit the needs of myself (a strength athlete) as well as my wife who loves coming to the yoga classes. The staff is high energy and creates a fun and motivating environment, the manager Kylee keeps the gym running flawlessly. I definitely recommend Family Fitness gyms to everyone.

Mitch Hoffman

The staff is constantly cleaning the equipment and the gym as a whole, staff is very friendly and the fact that the gym never closes is a huge plus.

Rhonda Andringa

I have had 24 operations but the trainers have been very patient with me and I am in better shape than I have been in at least 20 years. I may need to do the exercises a different way but we are able to figure it out .I have had four different people at different times helping me and they are all very competent.

Christopher Brinks

The capacity is maxed out in the evening, the rules regarding abuse of equipment, chalk, swearing and music are constantly not enforced... Im leaving.

Alexa Linscott

Love all the class options and women's section of the gym!

Pat Hartuniewicz

I joined before they officially opened because of the location so near my home and wanted to start a journey to fitness. My personal trainer Ty has helped me accomplish things physically that I never dreamed I could do. With his help and encouragement I have lost inches and body fat percentage and gained strength and flexibility. They offer a great variety of classes and all the trainers are friendly and encouraging. I have never felt intimidated going there and that is what kept me away from gyms for so many years. Can I give them 6 stars instead of just 5?

Kameron Zemites

Tayler and Heidi are awesome!

Martin Scott

Gyms great

Emili Fletcher

The classes are welcoming and a great time!
