Shock Fitness Studio — Local services in Riverdale

I am grateful for all of the retaliation, this business has shown many customers who decided that they don’t want to be members anymore & customers who were honest in the reviews.

Thank you so much, for continuing to email, continuing to spam, continuing to manipulate in the name of Black business, in the name of Black history.

Thank you, for taking full advantage of people who are vulnerable, including that random.. 33-year-old disabled veteran who thought it was a good idea to join because it seemed like a safe space for women and men… Oh yea, Thanks Coop, for laughing at me too, when i could hardly walk to my car, lol. Thanks. 😊 Its so funny to be hurt & young.

Oh yea… shoutout to Ebony, for trying to support me during Yoga.. despite all of the obvious issues with our community. Her kindness kept me a little longer than it should.

Thank you, Shock Fitness, for not beating around the bush, and showing publicly, and privately that this gym is only for certain people. It doesn’t matter how many owners this place has had or not had. If you do not read these reviews and you still decide to join, you are just as dumb as me… not the company that still remains. I don’t want the company to go away. Everything they’re doing is LEGAL. 5 stars for surviving as a business.

The only thing I wanted was to be able to cancel and move on with my life. But no, you will not be able to do that, not at any business on this side of town. They all know the game out here cause they invented it. My PTSD just made me forget. Im sorry.

This is not a spam review. And even if you remove the review.. or reply to it… the truth will still remain… spoken...

I absolutely love this gym! The ambiance is great! I love how welcomed and comfortable the staff makes me feel. I never feel out of place, insecure nor intimidated. Being a super unfit person, gym life has always been not the best experience for me but here it feels almost like we’re a ‘Phamily’. The gym is super clean with great music to get you in the vibe that’s not too loud. Ample equipments with staff that will teach you how to use them even if you’re not enrolled in Personal Training. I love that it’s locally owned and that they give back to the community. They have a free session every Saturday morning for kids in the community plus a free bootcamp for all members. They have members appreciation days every month with small treats and tokens for members, a calendar with many different activities for each month, they celebrate holidays with us(they gave us roses/flowers for Mother’s Day!), yoga and sooooo much more! It’s very well managed and it’s clear that the staff is just as happy to be there. The membership fee and personal training is affordable unlike other gyms close by. Alan, my personal trainer, is a rockstar and has me lifting weights that at one point I only dreamt of doing. He’s super flexible with scheduling and very understanding. He’s thorough with his explanations on what we’re doing, why we’re doing it and the benefits of doing it. We talk about nutrition, healthy habits outside of the gym and how to work out independently on days I don’t have personal training. I love how the focus is on teaching! I’m only on month 2 and I’m excited to continue on this journey! Don’t think twice! You should definitely...

Shock Fitness Studio is literally THE BEST!! The gym ALWAYS smells clean, friendly staff, and lots to offer. They offer personal training, group training, spin classes, yoga, bootcamp, and a variety of other classes along with open gym. The owners make it a POINT to greet you and know who their members are no matter what! It’s truly refreshing!! The reviews on this gym before April don’t apply because it wasn’t Shock Fitness and it was different owners. The new owners have turned this place around big time. KUDOS to them for them trying to impact the community. Don’t believe me? Come by and try it out!!

Personal training sessions are TOP TIER!! The trainers take their time to develop a personalized plan for each and every client. Everyone has different fitness levels and they recognize that and adjust. They will PUSH you to your potential but it’s in a LOVING way!! I appreciate the way they can pivot the workout to match your needs.

Lastly they GET RESULTS!!! If you put in the work and stay consistent you will reach and exceed your fitness goals!! You may see the videos of people in the gym dancing and partying but TRUST me that’s after they have worked hard!! Consider the dancing a way of celebrating surviving the workout!!

The gym makes you feel like FAMILY!! We truly do LOVE IT HERE!!! Best GYM EVA!! Again, don’t believe me? Come by and check it out...
