Philly Fitness of Overbrook Park — Attraction in Philadelphia

I'm going to give a comprehensive review of this gym. The positives are the big open space, large turf area, friendly staff and cleanliness. You don't have to worry about dirty bathrooms or dumbbells being scattered throughout the gym. Additionally, they have some nice and rare hip/glute plate-loaded machines made by GluteBuilder. All types of Precor machines, 4 platforms with squat racks, a bunch of multi-cable units, and tons of cardio equipment. Phenomenal gym for the average gym goer.

The downsides are mainly going to be for the hardcore lifters. The DBs only go up to 85lb. I hear even Planet Fitness goes up to 90s. It is a must that they improve this and have them go up to 100lb minimally or up to 130lb preferred. The gym is outfitted by PRECOR which is a decent brand for machines but terrible for benches. The benches for bench press are way too thin and too low to the ground putting you at a disadvantage biomechanically. You'll notice the difference when you go to other gyms with standard width benches. If they get heavier DBs and better benches it will be...

Good evening Google Family. This was my first time visiting Philly Fitness. This new gym has been open since New Year's Eve. So close and near where the old Shop Rite was. There is also a Family dollar and a Dollar Tree here. I was introduced to the place by employee, Jared, who was simply a Doll!! So informative, and so efficient. Jared took the time to explain to me all of the equipment, as we were walking around the gym, pointed out the amenities and just provided an all round great scenic tour. I appreciate the time that Jared took me to show me everything. This gym is literally walking distance from my house. I have never patronized a gym that is so close to my home. I am a member of Edge Fitness Club, however it would be so tempting to come here to work out. I love that everything is on one floor. I toured the ladies' bathrooms, locker rooms and showers. Everything is so neat and clean. I would definitely like to come back again to visit. Good night Google Family and don't forget to get Fit...

Philly Fit In Overbrook:

The gym is big, clean and well lit. Staff are very friendly and welcoming to everyone. They have a lot of machines and equipment to do any type of work out you desire.

A few things that I observed while being there were the cleaning stations which, are around but. you have search for them and there are no signs reminding people to clean off the equipment when finished. I know you are trying to cut cost but using the same microfiber cloth as someone else is not good especially with colds, viruses and covid still around.

The televisions should have different programs on them not just sports or news. Yes you do come to workout but being on the bikes, treadmills, elliptical, etc.it helps pass the time until you move onto something else.

I recommend staff have knowledge of each machine to give examples of what they do when asked by people who may be making a decision to join.

These are just my observations and thoughts. I hope you take in consideration. Keep up...
