Bee Fit Health Club — Attraction in Forest Park

If you just want to lift weights, then sure I'd recommend it. But if you like doing exercises that are HIIT/calisthenics/crossfit style, then I wouldn't really recommend. There's little to no space for it. The turf was already limited when it first opened. Then a punching bag rig was put on it that takes up a good 1/3 of the turf. And if you do MMA type sparring, you risk twisting/spraining your ankle cause the turf will slide/twist under your foot. Then an stretching machine was put on the turf, taking the only place to do a high wall ball, when there are plenty of other places it could have been put. And now equipment has been put in front of the only solid wall in the entire gym. So now no wall exercises can be done. You can have 4 people on the turf before you all start getting into each other's personal space. It seems like equipment is just being thrown into the gym without any consideration for the members that workout here or consideration for functionality. The gym has a lot more potential than it is currently at. And it feels to me at this moment that we were more concerned about the placement of trashcans than functionality of the gym itself. Not to mention that almost every morning there is someone loading up all the machines and leaving it. As if to challenge the gym. There are signs telling us to rerack or you'll have your membership taken away. This person seems to be testing if that's true and so far I'd have to say it's not. Unless something just recently was done about it. And idk about them men's, but the women's steam room spat out puddles of hot water multiple times. I just stopped using it cause I don't want to risk...

Forest park-area cincinnatians. If you are going to another gym, you are doing it wrong. The owner, Jeff, is down-to-earth and a breath of fresh air when it comes to gym employees.

I was in town visiting my family (I live in CA now) and needed a place to work out (gold star, tafts ale house, rhinegeist, graeters... you get it) so i stopped in here. I explained to Jeff that I didn't want to dishonestly get a free 7 day trial pass. He appreciated it and charged me $15 for the week. I was floored.

Moving on to the gym itself, the equipment is all in great shape and it wasnt overly crowded. In addition, it's super clean! In front of the squat rack, there isnt the normal accumulation of spit you see at the globo gyms of the world. I'm doing stronglifts as my current regimen, and even the 2.5 lb plates were easy to find.

All in all, if you live close to this gym, JOIN. Its a great use of a now-eyesore of a dead cincinnati mills mall and a great...

Fantastic gym. Just about all the equipment you could need and a wide variety of free weights available, much more than most gyms seem to have. Open areas available to do exercises requiring extra space, and the gym is never crowded. I mostly weightlift, and some more CrossFit-ish exercises, and have never had issues setting up circuits or moving quickly to different stations throughout the gym.

Of my 20+ visits, only once have I had to wait (and only 10 minutes). Showers, lockers, an upper studio so rarely used that you can practically have them to yourself. Honestly, I don't know why, because the quality of everything is so high.

Location is great. Parking is great. People at the gym are friendly, helpful, and never intimidating. The owner (Jeff) is great and nearly always available, in person or on the phone.

Give it a try. It's quite cheap, no commitment, and there's a week free trial without any sales pressure or...
