Reviews of American Fitness Center-Nashua (Gym)

Morganne MacKay

I started going to AFC about 3 years ago and it was the best decision I’ve made. Before finding AFC, I had trouble finding a gym that I felt excited to workout in everyday. The community of members, along with the outstanding staff and owner make AFC the #1 gym in New Hampshire in my opinion. Highly recommended. Regardless of the workout style you prefer, this gym has it all!

Best gym in Nashua! Has everything you need from free weights, machines, cardio equipment, strongman equipment, and punching bags. The turf area is great for warming up as well. They also offer fitness classes and the staff is always very helpful.

I joined about 3 weeks ago, and I love it, you can tell the staff really care about your progression and they are very involved with there members, military friendly, and have everything you could ever need for your workout, Highly recommend! Also the owner Jason is extremely approachable and makes you feel like you belong!

I'll get straight to the point. I love this gym! This gym pretty much has everything you need to get to whatever level of fitness you're trying to reach. I've gone through being in basketball shape, football shape, explosive power lifting shape and now being in "fighter" shape. Doing all of that from just this gym. This gym has a good cardio area, weight lifting area, cross training area and MMA style area. I switch up my workouts all the time because this gym makes it easy and allows me to. I haven't had an opportunity to work with the Trainers, but I do see a lot of sweat and fun going on in their small group sessions! It's all about atmosphere to me when it comes to a gym. This gym definitely has a fun and friendly atmosphere to it. If you are active duty military or are constantly leaving for long periods of time like myself, they are very easy to work with in that area. As long as you give them a heads up, they will freeze your account and welcome you back with open arms when your orders are complete!

I've gone to a lot of gyms in the past. I was introduced to American fitness center about 5 years ago. It's by far my favorite gym!! Jason, the owner is very nice, inviting and always says hi! (It's the little things, that make you feel at home there). He offers a variety, which is great!! From tire flipping, to a few obstacles, monkey bars, rope climb, cargo net. The weight lifting section, and my favorite are the classes!! I do three a week and they all leave me dripping sweat! They are there if you have any questions! My son has been going there as well for the past 4 years! I highly recommend American fitness center!

Scott Rancourt

Awesome place to train, great equipment and an awesome training staff including Deanna who really kicks up the group classes and makes you work for your progress in the one on one's. 5 stars for sure!

Chad Quinlan

Enormous variety of equipment - lifting, cardio, machines, free weights, obstacles, HIIT, and more. Friendly staff, very reasonable prices.

Keith Hock

For one, awesome staff, two, they have actual free weights and not just isolation equipment, however there's a good mix of both for those that'd want it. They have classes from boxing to weight loss, and personal trainers that would be happy to help you with anything. The staff actually know what they're doing, and I haven't had any issues asking for help if I didn't know what something was. I've been happily coming here almost 5 days a week for a few months, and I'll keep coming.

Great Gym ! Good place to get in and get work done! Never overly crowded and the staff is always friendly!

RelyTortuga

Great employees, they are always helpful and there if you need anything. The facility is always clean and everything is easily accessible.

I have been a member for over a year and love it! American Fitness provides very dynamic classes that fit multiple needs. It is a fun and motivating environment! The owner, Jason, and all of the trainers are all extremely approachable, honest and caring. Each one provides their own training style with very diverse workouts that benefit you. The best part is that they are focused on your goals and helping you do your best to achieve them.

I recently moved to Hudson, NH from Lawrence, MA where I spent a lot of time in a group HIIT gym and trained for OCRs. I was afraid I wouldn't find another gym that focused on group classes and functional training that was fun and tough. I feel really lucky that we found AFC. We have the group training membership and go 2x per week religiously at 5am before work. Andy, Deanna and Jason are amazing and each has a unique style to the workouts so it keeps your body guessing. One day you might spend an hour with Deanna working your shoulders and hips, the next you might be doing a crazy circuit workout with Jason or Andy. The workouts are tough and its a great way to start the day. The gym is also expanding to include even more training space than there already is which is terrific news. I don't use the lifting equipment but It's clear there's plenty of it and there's a lot of regulars who use it. Great gym, great group classes if you want a tough workout, right here in southern NH. Come on down!

Colleen Brennan

American Fitness Center has the coolest, most hardworking people around. This gym is Southern New Hampshire's best kept secret. People who workout there are like family, make you feel comfortable, just like a gym atmosphere should be. Whatever your goals are this gym can assist you in reaching them!

Karla Black

This gym is like no other I've been a member of. The classes ROCK and the trainers are clearly doing what they love to do. It is the most fun I've had outside of my masters swim group. The staff are super friendly and take the intimidation factor out of weight lifting.

joe fisher

AFC is a good gym that is friendly to all types of fitness from general fitness to Olympic lifting or powerlifting. Has a good amount of equipment. I would definitely recommend this gym.

Lauren McConrad

Don't get me wrong, I love AFC. However, after 2 years of coming here I may have to switch gyms because of their lack of ellipticals. The elliptical is my cardio of choice and they only have one machine (that's modern enough to accurately track my workout, so obviously everyone flocks to the newest machine). While they have plenty of bikes and treadmills, the ellipticals are lacking. Every night it seems there's someone else on the machine and sometimes it takes up to an hour before the machine frees up. Unfortunately, I can no longer waste time waiting for the machine. If you enjoy the elliptical, I wouldn't recommend this gym. Unless of course they add one or two more newer machines, which I'm not sure is happening anytime soon. I love everything else about this gym so if the elliptical isn't your thing, I'd definitely put this gym at the top of your list!

GloboGym and Average Joe's Gym have nothing on this fitness center. AFC has the equipment and competent staff you need to win.

Jenny Eng

Love this gym. My favorite part is that it's never crowded (at least when I go in the morning!). Tuesday and Thursday kickboxing classes are a great way to get your cardio in. Or plenty of equipment with a bunch of squat racks, jacob's ladder, rowers, kettle bells and more to get your own workout in. Staff is knowledgable and genuinely care about you. It's my second home.

Amy Alberta

Gyms can be intimidating. Especially for people who are new to working out or looking to start a fitness plan. AFC made me feel welcome and comfortable the minute I walked in to check it out. They offer a variety of equipment, weights, boxing, obstacle course stations, group classes and amazing trainers for all fitness levels. The group classes are small and tailored to fit every ability. The community at this gym is like no other, friendly, supportive and inspiring.

Gregory Gush

My 17-year-old daughter has been going to AFC in Nashua for the last year and LOVES it. They treat her very well and go out of their way to make sure their members are happy. They're even allowing graduating seniors from local high schools to go to the gym free for the summer! Great gym and I'm very happy my daughter has a safe and reliable place to exercise.

Jenai Johnson

I recently moved to the area and I feel like I really hit the jackpot having this place so close by! It has all the equipment you could possibly ever need, and everyone is very friendly, especially Jason, the owner. It’s also never too busy during peak hours, so you’ll get a great workout anytime you go. I love the old school feel and really appreciate how clean it always is. And on top of that, it’s so incredibly affordable, and there are no contracts. Does it get any better than that?! American Fitness Center is my unicorn gym. If you read all the other reviews, you’ll see I’m not the only one who thinks this place is special.

Lauren Scurini

Great gym, been coming here for years! Awesome variety of machines and equipment for different types of workouts.

Kate Drouin

I started at American Fitness Center by taking boot camp classes in December of 2016. I wanted to get in shape for my wedding in October the following year. I took boot camp classes twice a week and then eventually did boot camp and kickboxing classes. I can honestly say I have NEVER been so in shape. I have muscle definition in my arms and my back that I have NEVER had before. All the trainers are wicked knowledgeable regarding form and technique for each exercise. They will also gladly modify an exercise if you are sore or have an injury. I am so glad I found this gym and I know I will look amazing in my wedding dress thanks to American Fitness Center.

Thomas McKillop

I’m incredibly thankful that I found this gym and decided to give it a shot. After taking a 7 year break from the gym and losing all confidence in my fitness, I finally decided to bite the bullet and get back. The staff at the gym is friendly and more importantly so are the members. Everyone seems to be there to work, and I feel that there’s never any judgement being passed. This makes it enjoyable to go, and has enabled me to make the gym my habit again. The gym has a ton to offer as well. With a huge open space for all sorts of training (sleds, Big tires, ropes, heavy bags, etc), it makes it easy to change up your workouts so that you don’t get bored. Furthermore, there are group classes almost everyday and they offer personal training (which includes dietary education) as well. I decided to sign on to personal training to add a level of accountability and keep me on track. I have to say, Michelle is an amazing trainer and mentor, and I know she truly cares about the success and results of her clients. Results speak for themselves. It’s been 6 weeks and I’ve lost almost 25 pounds and gained definition back in muscles I haven’t noticed in awhile. If anyone is on the fence about trying a gym that they haven’t heard commercials for on tv, know that you’re one of the lucky ones that found American Fitness Center!

Adam Dickerson

Never the same workout twice, great selection of different equipment to pick from, staff couldn't be friendlier. Very happy with this gym.

Lauren Kelley

I’ve been using this gym for several months now and it’s honestly the longest that I’ve stuck with a fitness routine in my adult life. It’s more than treadmills, lifting and equipment- it’s fun and motivational. Staff is great!

Sidney Calvagna

Absolutely love this place. I never been to a gym that feels more welcoming, hard working, and actually enjoyable. The trainers are wonderful to work with and extremely approachable. And the boxing, bootcamp, and strength training classes are also a great option- they're fun to do and great workouts! Going to American Fitness Center makes me excited to workout.

John Fagan

Great facility and very welcoming staff. All the basic equipment you will need plus a great area for those who enjoy martial arts or boxing training and cardio. Jason took time to help me with a lift I was struggling with and was very knowledgable and approachable.

Robert Voigt

We went in today for a day pass. The owner, Jason, was really nice and gave us a tour of the place. As an OCR athlete, this gym offers a lot of equipment that a typical gym doesn't such as rope climbing, monkey bars, rings, tires, etc. Had an awesome workout and will definitely be returning! Highly recommend

Ben Setzer

I've been going to AFC for over two years and it is the best gym I have ever been to. If you're into powerlifting it has plenty of racks and other equipment to do your exercises without having to wait. Theres also plenty of room to do more functional and dynamic exercises such as walking lunges, sleds, tire flips or TRX training. If you're into boxing or MMA they have heavy bags and speed bags which can be a fun way to get cardio in or work on rhythm and technique. The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They don't hesitate to help you out if you have simple questions or looking for advice on alternative exercises, remediate injuries or tips and tricks if you're trying something new.

Mason Miller

Staff is always extremely approachable and quick to help! Great Gym !

Elisa brennan

This gym is fantastic!!!!!!! They have everything from flipping tires, battling ropes & a indoor obstacle course! Great place to train for tuff mudder or any of the other races!!!!!!!! The staff is super friendly & very helpful!!!!

Kristin Andrews

I decided to join AFC at the beginning of February 2017. The two main reasons I joined were convenience and what the facility has to offer. AFC offers a variety of classes at very reasonable prices and the staff is always encouraging and willing to help. I am a stay at home mom to 3 little ones and it has been too easy to say "I don't have time to go to the gym". AFC has helped me not only find the time, but find ME again. Since I started back at the gym I have been taking 2 group classes a week and participated in personal training once a week. The trainers here are phenomenal. They are always willing to listen to my goals and the struggles that I am trying to work through and help me come up with a plan for how to achieve the goals I am looking for. The combination of workout and nutritional coaching has made a huge difference for me. To date I have lost 20+ lbs and have enjoyed every minute that I have spent at AFC.

Kate Marony

After graduating as a collegiate athlete, I struggled to maintain a driven, purposeful workout regimen. I would go to the gym to strength train several times a week, but I wasn't seeing results OR enjoying my time. About a year ago, I decided to enroll at AFC and take advantage of the super affordable group training classes. I've always wanted to learn how to box, and the Cardio Kickboxing classes at AFC were absolutely PERFECT for beginners. As your skills develop and you become more comfortable with your technique, Jason is more than happy to tailor workouts to push you to your limits. The boxing classes at AFC are the highlight of my week, not only for the high-calorie burning workout, but also for socializing with my boxing crew! AFC has built a wonderfully supportive community of members that make going to the gym genuinely enjoyable. In the past 4 months I have lost 20 pounds of body fat, while building lean muscle. It's also worth noting that my energy levels, mood, and overall health are the best they have been in years. Jason and AFC staff have re-ignited the passion for fitness that I forgot I had. Thanks to the continued support and mentorship that I have received, I am now pursuing a certification in personal training and will be coaching small group classes here at AFC! From a client, to a fitness professional, American Fitness Center has helped shaped my life in all facets. I am now a happier and healthier version of myself. I couldn't have done it anywhere else, or with anyone else.

Alexander Lacasse

I’ve been going to American Fitness Center for a little over 8 months, and it has been the best gym I’ve ever been a member of. Whether you want group classes, one-on-one training, or to just work out on your own, AFC has it all; reasonable prices combined with a wide variety of workout equipment. The staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel welcome and at home. There is a relaxed vibe about AFC that made it an obvious choice over some of the local chain gyms in the area. After visiting gyms in Nashua all day back in April, I walked into AFC, signed up after a brief tour, and have enjoyed being a member ever since.

Avinash Hr

I liked the approach of trying different classes before deciding which you like and feel comfortable. All the trainers are very friendly and helpful. You can approach any trainer and ask them for suggestions or tips. I like the way Jason conducts the kickboxing classes, he mixes it up and pushes everybody based on their abilities. The gym, equipments are clean and available at any given point.

cheetah jes

The staff here is amazing! The equipment and classes are an awesome opportunity and I've seen people of all ages, genders, and skill levels.

Diane Sirvydas

I've been a member for almost 2 years... friendly atmosphere, great trainers and challenging classes!
