Here's what we love about City Fitness

City Fitness gets the basics right and adds a few extras.

  • There's a sauna at most clubs.

  • Group fitness classes run at nearly every club, so you don't have to plan every workout yourself.

  • Personal training is available at nearly every club if you want a coach.

Here are the things we wish City Fitness would improve

City Fitness does plenty right. A few gaps are worth knowing before you sign.

  • Pools are rare. Only a few clubs have one, so check before you join if you swim.

  • No childcare, so parents need a plan for the kids.

  • No club is open 24 hours, so late-night and very early lifters are out of luck on some days.

How much does it cost to join City Fitness?

I don't have current City Fitness pricing yet. Check your club's join page for plans and fees before you sign.

  • I don't have City Fitness's annual fee yet. Ask your club before you sign.
  • I don't have City Fitness's enrollment fee yet. Ask your club before you sign.
  • Gym prices got you stressed out? Start with a free trial instead.

Final thoughts — Is worth it?

Yes, if you want a sauna. Most clubs have a sauna.

​

It fits you best if you like group classes. If you swim, count on childcare, or train late at night, City Fitness is a weaker pick, because only a few clubs have a pool, no club offers childcare, and no club is open 24 hours. Read your club's reviews and take a tour first.

​

My take: City Fitness is worth a tour if you want a sauna. Ask about pricing at your club before you sign.
