Fitness Connection — Local services in Pasadena

I believe the gym is great. I definitely like the sauna due to its many benefits. Although I do not recommend getting a personal trainer. I accepted the free voucher that lasts only a week whenever you purchase your membership so I did about an hour training with their third-party personal trainer. After the training was over, the asked if I would like their services. I said yes only if it's not a contract. I was informed that I would have to put a deposit of $50. So I put the deposit of $50 and had a training plan for $240 a month . With the 240 I was going to cover one day of training for 30 minutes each week. The next day I came into the office and I decided that I didn't want that plan after all. So I canceled. they asked me why I canceled I told him I just didn't want to pay $240 a month for one training a week. So he said how about you pay $50 a month for one training a month and ask for $100 down. So I went ahead and did that. After a few days I decided that was not a good deal considering the days that I did go that I was scheduled to see my trainer I wasn't able to get trained because the trainer was not there. So I decided I didn't want this plan either so I asked the manager I wanted said to close out my account.He said no because I owe $50 and that if I didn't pay the $50 that he was going to report it to my credit since it was a contract. That's when I told him the first person I dealt with said it was not a contract. Even after I canceled the first one the next month there are still charging my debit card $240. So I end up paying off a total of $200 for one workout session. I asked the manager to refund my money he just kept saying that he can offer me for free workouts with a trainer. Well it's definitely not going to be free considering I already paid I just want my money back. I never...

Wow, this gym is actually really good, I’m basing this off customer service and the quality of the atmosphere of the gym, locker rooms, and other features to the gym..

First of all when I first applied guy super nice, yea he might be a sales guy but he kinda saw that I looked lose he showed kindness and helped me sign up, what a good sales person, then I ended up seeing him the next day when he was off and said if I needed help using any of the machines I’d just ask him, such a nice guy that’s give a clap to him anyways.

This place also has an indoor basketball court for those who want a basketball in there gym, haven’t used in yet cause most of the time in the gym im sore from the chest and arms and it’s hard to shoot a ball but it’s clean and it’s nice.

People trying to lose weight, this gym is also helpful for you guys too.. there’s even a theatre gym, it’s the best and I go there whenever people that school that don’t really like me that much, there’s always like 3 or 1 person there on the treadmills there.

Also the locker rooms are clean and surprisingly the equipment/machines are in really good condition.

I would recommend going to this gym if you’re a teenager looking to get in shape, that’s why I’m here, not to mess around or play basketball, just gain muscle and yea thank you...

Sauna Shark checking in: Fitness Connection saunas have been an integral part of my survival for the past nine months to date. My health declined for seven years while over fourty specialists of Houston and Dallas have tried to diagnose my deteriorating condition; it has only been recently identified as inherited iron overload. Severe pain and horrific neurological episodes have plagued me, known as H63D Syndrome; my symptoms were originally disregarded as mental stress. We’ve since identified damaging iron deposits in my joints and brain, and the only relief is heat shock therapy along with complete avoidance of all iron bearing foods which includes American iron fortified breads, flours, and cereals. Thank you to Fitness Connection and their saunas. The Pasadena location operates at 140degF which is perfect for a daily 30 minute heat shock session; heat shock allows for heavy sweat sessions which remove excess iron. I’m slowly regaining the ability to walk after almost seven years of being wheelchair bound, and it’s an excellent way to control pain from iron deposits (it feels like glass in my joints and arteries). I’ve been visiting the Fitness Connection saunas daily since June 2024. If I had this knowledge 20 years ago I could have saved my...
