Reviews of The EDGE Sports & Fitness, Essex, VT (Gym)

kenneth surprise

they are not a heavy wieghtlifters gym. they lack ab and calf musle equipment. too many people in a small space and not enough equipment. have to find a special time to workout when u can actually workout without tripping on people. not willing to put in new equipment or let u make something that works out of what they have. for the price u pay and the amount of people there it should be larger with more options for workout equipment. only one bench for free wieghts. no real good decline bench and no open cage for free wieghts eather. the showers are open and set up like jail. i dont like the feeling of thinking im in jail when i want to shower. as far as im considered its just another rich greedy vermont person looking to make money and not reinvest back into the buissiness thats making them money.

Service ok but building is in dire need of work. The amount of money for a membership here you should have top notch facilities!

I simply can't figure out why this gym costs so much for a basic fitness membership. The equipment is very old and there is a dismal selection of free weights. There's a solid selection of machines but, again, they are old. It's not particularly clean or well staffed. The sign-in system for cardio is just a hot mess. There isn't even a fitness studio to use for floor work, just a tiny corner of the floor right by the entrance that was so dirty when I went there I couldn't bring myself to use it. I would happily pay the $70 a month for an updated, well equipped gym but sadly this just isn't it. If they offered prices on par with other gyms in the area (~$40) then it might be worth joining.

Love to swim there. Warm pool or cooler pool

Douglas Mort

I have not been to many fitness centers but this one is a little worn in but offers a little bit of everything. Staff are friendly as well which is a nice plus.

kikadin

It is close to my home and they have pools.

Mark Stephenson

Nice club for swimming or gym or basketball and 4 nice Tennis courts.

Jason Hao

Overall the best private athletic club around. They have pools, racquet ball and tennis courts, a small indoor track, basketball, a climbing wall, and the usual weights are cardio. This location also has a women's only area which my significant other really liked.

Kristina Love

Like the space but to join is waaaaay too expensive.

Lane McElree

Great place great work out areas

Rita Johnson

I love doing the Arc trainer, as well as hitting the pool and hot tub.

Van Dora Williams

Great classes and staff

Mario Carmona

Lots of different options from tennis to weights and cardio to basketball and even swimming. Staff can be inattentive at times. Also it's really, really busy all the time. Afternoons are terrible. Lots of people makes it difficult to keep clean I think. Locker rooms tend to have that "locker room" smell sometimes. Overall, its an okay place to workout and train as long as you can find out a time that isn't crawling with people

This is by far the best location in Burlington. In my experience, the staff has been friendly, helpful, and knowledgable. I am a professional athlete and I think that there is plenty of room to get my workout in. Although, some of the equipment is a bit bulky and outdated, I am still able to get a quality workout in. You also have to be mindful of the time that you decide to workout. Like any popular gym, it can get crowded and busy. Knowing this, if you come in with the mindset that you may have to wait a little longer for your favorite equipment, you'll be a little more at ease while you wait. Also, the members are friendly and don't mind you working in with them. My only wish is that this location had more rubberized bumper plates for olympic lifts.

Jordan Potvin

Played racquetball and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere.

Steven Hayes

Locker room much better than last year

Elizabeth stringer

Need new equipment, esp.stationery bikes

cynthia trimble

Very welcoming. Great yoga classes. Nice and clean

Robert Lafayette

old equipment, stained and torn carpets, leaking roof, filthy locker room with rival odor, broken basketball rim

Stuart Floyd

Very large gym, physical therapy, indoor pool and large number of programs for all ages. Gets very busy and often too many kids at pool. Several locations in Chittenden county.

Building is embarrassingly run down and not well maintained. Parking is almost always a pain, definitely not enough spaces for the numbers they have. Usually a skeleton crew working.. Really can't understand the appeal or how or why they can charge the monthly prices they do considering what you get.. the lack of competition in the area with the same variety of facilities (even if lacking) is to blame. If they don't step up their experience they will eventually lose out to more ambitious competition.

Rachel Wassel

Great gym, lots of classes and machines.

Robin Kirby

The Edge is amazing. I can work out on my own or with a personal trainer. This is a judgement free atmosphere. There is everything you need there for your individualized exercise plan. There is also a program called Genevix which is where I started. The program teaches all about foods. Reading labels, clean food and how foods are good and not so good. There is also an hour of exercise. Great program!!

Scott Friedman

Good variety of activities for all tastes.

Paula Delorme

Very accommodating to seasonal membership. I use the track only during winter months. Also a bit of a reduction for veterans which is a plus. I try to come in off peek hours to avoid congestion on the track. It's working for me!

Ashraf Mohamed

Very good place for sports

Mary Maslack

I’m a relatively new P.T. Client. I find the center very neat, someone always walking around and tidying up. The locker room is always nice and spacious. My instructors are wonderful and very patient with me and accommodating. Thanks Serena and Nicole!

Allan Cruz

Better than other alternatives. music is loud in the weight area and facilities sometimes not clean

Alpha Omega

A nice, friendly, gym, but equipment is a little dated and needs a update

Mery Moran

Outdated but ok , for a gym

david quaglietta

Good place

Tim Frizzell

Great place to work out!

Kevin Riddell

The Edge in Essex is the best place to go for almost every workout venture you can think of. The staff is cheerful and polite as well as helpful. The equipment, pool, and track are maintained well. My only issue is that the locker room/shower area almost always seems dirty. I know that in the winter and spring it's hard to keep anything clean but I'm talking about year round. I remember that like 6 to 7 years ago or so they never had that problem. Everything was always clean back then. Maybe they got a different cleaning company or something. Other than that, the place is great.

PattyAnn Gregoire-Gilbeau

Recently I was told I should do more physical activity and I made a plan and joined!

Travis Nagle

Like most gyms it suffers from frequent equipment breakage and lack of towels. The staff can be judgemental esp if you don't want to follow their regime

Rick F

It's a nice place that could be better. Weight machines and other exercise equipment need regular and more thorough cleaning.

Olga D.

Just a few classes during the day, no classes at all after 5:30 PM. Pretty expensive for that they offer. There are no real competitors in the area. Some people at Play Space are so rude, its also expensive.

Juan P. Alvez
