Sweat Fitness

Practically the worst in the area! The two men at the front desk are rude and judgmental but try to pull it off as genuine. The classes are just okay and then they have classes you have to pay extra for… what what? The toilets in the bathroom (ladies is all I know) are horridly small like for 3^nd graders except for the handicap one. The showers are always cold! If not they have to run a really long time… I really liked Zumba with tabitha (but she left) and anything Tatiana does (she teaches different classes). Jen has a great sexy dance/​fitness class that is more challenging then one might think. Other than that the iron equipment is average and not that plentiful as far duplicity but plentiful as far as variety. The elipticals, bikes, and treadmills are adequate. The cleaning guys/​gals are nicer than the desk and trainer staff. They love to talk amongst themselves or to others who linger at the front desk while you try to conduct business. The classes are weird hours as they I’d say the only reason I am still there is proximity to my job and the two fitness instructors left that I like. If you have closer or other options… go with it.

Really enjoyed killing a cockroach in the gym locker room today. Also, can’t spring for a few more towels considering the number of members that decide to start frequenting the gym after the 1^st of the year? Upkeep .look it up

This is a bad, poorly maintained gym with shady billing practices. Save your money.

If I could have given this a minus 1 star I would have. Front desk person on Saturday is miserable. Out of the 20 or so elliptical/​treadmills that have TV’s, one worked. I spent 20 minutes trying to find a machine that the TV worked and when I did it was so unlevel that it was making me dizzy. On the others, the channels skipped or were so fuzzy you couldn’t see anything. Isn’t it funny though that the 2 sports channels on EVERY one worked? Let’s make sure the guys are happy… Don’t waste your money… go elsewhere

disgustingly dirty!!! showers filthy… drains full of hair. soap scum… clogged!!! yuk! hire cleaning person!!!

The kickboxing classes are what saves this gym. I’ve been a member of Planet Fitness for years before switching over to Sweat due to proximity to my apartment. Compared to Planet Fitness and even LA Fitness, Sweat is a shame. The machines are pretty limited, there are no mats for stretching etc., and the service is pretty unfriendly. Actually, VERY unfriendly.
I decided to try this gym out through Groupon and the employee who was having problems with my voucher consistently gave me a very condescending and degrading attitude. Perhaps because I look younger, he didn’t take me seriously…
When I officially signed up for this gym, a female employee who helped me out was kind at first, but once I had questions, she made it perfectly aware that she was irritated at me. Additionally, she openly IGNORED me and told me to wait just to talk to a friend/​customer about irrelevant weekend plans rather than assist me with billing questions/​directions to the upper floor… How professional.
The good part: kickboxing classes. Lawrence does an amazing job at guiding a large class. He keeps you on your feet, provides an intense workout, and definitely helps you out if you’re not on beat! He’s a pleasure! Victoria is another weekly instructor who provides a decent workout, too. Her workouts are pretty routine so it can get boring but it does the job of giving you that intense workout nonetheless!
I say, come here if you’re in the need for a gym that gets your workout done and if you’re interested for a STELLAR kickboxing class.
However, you’re going to be better off at a different gym if you want good customer service and high quality gym equipment.

This is definitely not a luxury gym by any means but it gets the job done!
I got a Groupon for this place for a month and so far, so good. I love that I have access to all of the locations. I typically go here or to Fitler Square, since they are the most convenient to me. If they are looking into expanding, they should definitely look into the Fairmount area.
This is a no-​frills kind of place, which is fine by me. I was looking for a place with a solid weight area and this place works just fine. It does get a little busy on some days between 5:00 — 6:30, which is expected but it isn’t always the case. Just know that if you’re going during those times, you may have to wait a while to use the bench press or the squat rack.
My only real complaint is the state of the locker rooms. They are pretty dingy. But the worst are the bathrooms. There is virtually no space in the bathroom stalls. There is no way that those stalls comply with any sort of regulations regarding public restrooms. I’ve never seen anything like it before.
I have yet to try the Fitness classes but I will soon. I love that there are a lot of classes to choose from and at convenient times.
No complaints about the billing but I’m on a Groupon so it’s not something I currently have to worry about.

I get that this isn’t the best gym. It needs some serious updating and I’m not talking about cosmetic stuff. I could care less how «pretty» it looks.
But it does suck to not be able to use the toilets in the women’s locker room because there is not enough room between the toilet and the door to allow your knees to bend.
And to have to stand in a pubey fungal soup while rinsing off in the shower because the drains are clogged.
And as if you didn’t feel sorry enough for someone who needs to use a chair in the handicap shower, how about a shower chair that looks like it’s been caked with feces?
I voiced my concerns to a guy sitting at the front desk for the first time (in a nice manner as hard as that is to believe from the tone of this review), and he got defensive. He responded with excuses about the building being old and plumbing being expensive, «his» cleaning person calling out yesterday… The locker room hadn’t been touched in at least 4 days since the last time I was there. I was hoping to request that they make some repairs to the Island of Misfit toys that they call «the cardio room», but I knew I was getting nowhere with him.
I’d rather get my daily workout done in a cave before taking a rest day so I’ve managed to tolerate this particular Sweat location for a year now. However I will be looking for an alternative where I won’t risk getting ringworm and athletes foot because of the unsanitary conditions.

It’s my favorite Sweat location in the city but only because it’s the largest and has the most machines and amenities out of any of the other locations. Other than that it is just okay. The people at the front are kind of rude. They seem to be more interested than talking to eachother than greeting members that come in. I asked them a question (if there were bigger towels for showers– which there weren’t) and they seemed to be bothered that I had interrupted their conversation. The bathroom and locker room could be cleaner. The showers smell of mold and over flow. The one other positive thing I have to say is that most of the machines are always in working order which is nice and a nice change from other locations.

I’m not sure how many different ways I can ask to be removed from a mailing list…
The last time I was a Sweat Fitness member was four years ago. I have done everything short of sending a Vine video of me crying[1] to get them to leave me alone. Yet the steady stream of spammy e-​mails from Sweat Fitness continues.
Seriously. Stahp.
P. S. Fellow OKC Unilocaler, Ashley D. made an excellent suggestion about contacting the FCC in dealing with Sweat’s obnoxious spammery, so now I’m hoping they will keep sending me more emails.
[1]See (not me):

DO NOT SIGN UP!!! people who works there are ahole! specialy the front desk, when you try to cancel you cant cancel you have to call and they will put you on hold for hours! Then they give this Bullshit excuses and when finally give me approval for cancelation there is $ 90 fee!

I hate to be this person now, but I have to echo other sentiments. DO NOT JOIN THIS GYM!!! I followed everything carefully in my contract to make sure i canceled at my one year mark because i never went to the gym. I work with contracts for a living so i know how to read and understand one. Especially gym contracts, because I have been duped before. However, even though i did everything right i am still spending an hour on the phone trying to fight future payments. Their relationship with ABC Financial is a scam!!! The only good part of the gym was barre class with Catherine but it is not worth the aggravation. Their business practices are sooo shady it is ridiculous. I was given 3 «free» months at the end of my contract, and because they added them in i still have to pay club enhancement fees during this period! What is free with this? And it doesnt say it on the contract, although ABC tries to argue it does. I can assure it does not. This place is a fraud, please save yourself and your money.

It is close proximity to where I live. Has a running track. Water tastes fine. Not too many people.

Shady billing and business practices, deceptive behavior. Also gym smells like a gym and the clientele are seedy.
Customer service is insulting.
AVOID

I’ve been a member of this gym for about a month. It’s OK, nothing special. But seriously, they NEVER answer their phone. NEVER. The mailbox is always full so you can’t leave a message. It’s probably the most annoying thing about this place.
I took a spin class here and it was… well…it was weird. The class was not challenging at all. I guess I’m a bit of a spin snob since I was a member at Flywheel for so long, but I just couldn’t believe how bad the class was. Push ups on a bike? That doesn’t seem safe. Also, the bikes are from like 1953. Never again.
If I wasn’t locked in for 11 more months I’d probably find another place to workout.

Haven’t belong to Sweat in a while, and I’m posting this review now for prospective members to realize that this company does not do business honestly.
If you join, don’t give them your email address. They’ve been spamming me for years, despite me «Unsubscribing» from their lists. It goes away for 6 months before starting again, of course with some «rejoin for $ 1» offer.
This, coupled with them charging me for another two months of membership when I wanted to cancel (legal maybe because it was buried in the fine print in the contract, but questionably ethical to say the least) ensures that I will never rejoin despite being in the area.

The pool is a Petri dish. It’s completely green and cloudy. No one knows how to take care of it. I spoke with one of the staff yesterday about it who said he would call someone. Today it’s worse.
I took these photos on my iPad. There is no filter. The color looks green because it is green. The place is terrible. I cannot believe they would even allow someone to swim in this pool.

Could be nicer and I think they are lacking on classes, they need to add some more! Especially things like yoga, Pilates, and kick boxing that they only have one or a few times per week.
Took a while to turn on their air conditioning this summer so it was unbearable, but now it’s much better! Never have a problem getting in on a cardio machine and I LOVE the Barre class with Catherine! She’s the best.
Not intimidating to be on the floor with the weights and machines either. Plus they have a smoothie and juice bar on your way out! Thumbs up for this place :)

Sweat’s a nice gym. Solid. I will say the cardio equipment upstairs especially the tred mills need to be upgraded but other than that, love the main floor’s layout with all the machines and free weights (+ a nice heavy bag).
PROS:
— plenty of weights, ago dumbbells go up past 100lbs.
— like to open lay out of the main floor with the track upstairs on the 2^nd.
CONS:
— I would say the locker rooms seem a bit needing of an update as well
— cardio machines upstairs on the second floor could use an update — feel like the track on the tred-​mills need to be tightened up cause it does give to heavy 200lb + dudes when running on it. I should just lose some damn weight too but I like good solid tred mills
— only 1 squat rack — which always is an issue. 2 – 3 would be nice.
Other than that. Has what you need. They have a pool which I’ve seen, not big… Isn’t the newest or cleanest of gyms but it’s solid.

One year ago I tried their 21 day trial. I ended up canceling immediately because I was absolutely disappointed with the quality of their machines, instructors, facilities, and employees. But, somehow, I got locked into their 1 year contract and started getting charged monthly membership. I called the manager, who said I didn’t cancel on time, which was an absolute LIE. I asked to be transfered to someone else, who also ended up being utterly useless. I ended up having to call my credit card company to cancel the charges because they were fraudulent charges.
Then, my friend joined this gym recently and raved about it so I decided to give this place another try. Maybe they changed? WRONG. Still the same money-​guzzling worst-​customer service gym I’ve ever experienced.
I purchased their Groupon for 15 passes. However, their gym policy did not match the groupon policy, but their attitude about the situation was merely «too bad, so sad.» Also, when I mentioned that I wouldn’t be going to the gym 15 times in 30 days, the employee’s response, with absolute disgust and condemnation, was, «What? you won’t be going 15 times in 30 days? …» why yes, I don’t go to the gym every other day, as with the majority of this country, so drop your minimum-​wage look of disapproval off your face.
THEN, this guy had the nerve to try to convince me it would be just smarter to join their monthly membership. Why yes, I purchased a Groupon just to throw it away and sign my life away to your money-​hungry, don’t-care-a-thing-about-people-company.
Still trying to have an open mind (if possible), I attended one of the classes. On the way, I still saw the lazy instructor in his sweatshirt and beanie chilling while yelling at the patrons. Went downstairs to the dance camp, which started late, AND ended early. Still wondering what I was thinking to give this place another try, I go back upstairs to get my ID from the same man. I ended up having to stand there and waste time because he was too busy socializing on his personal cell-​phone to hand me back my ID. Judging me because I can’t go to the gym every other day? I judge you for not being competant enough to have the multi-​tasking ability to talk on a cell phone while handing someone an ID. My fifth graders can do that.
There are plenty of nearby gyms. Don’t come here unless you want to get ripped off and have lazy employees watch you sweat.
