FITWORKS — Local services in Stow

The good: The gym has plenty of benches and 4 squat racks if lifting is important to you. There are also plenty of ellipticals and treadmillls plus a stairstepper. There is also a cardio fitness room so you can watch a movie and workout. The club is 24 hour with key card access. The atmosphere is very laid back and the other members are great.

The bad: Management does not care about this location and we have not had a new piece of equipment in the 20 years that I have been a member here. We get old equipment from clubs they do invest in and about 12 years ago, we got old equipment from another gym in the area that shut down. The air conditioning sometimes goes out and it can take weeks to get it repaired.

The automatic door has repeatedly broken down this summer and the gym does not have the courtesy to let members know when they will be able to workout.

I would avoid unless they can confirm they have these...

The staff is rude, standoffish and "bratty" on a good day, the 24 hour thing is straight up fabricated, and the prices are an outright lie. The sign may say 9.99 per month, but the actual rate is twice that and that doesn't even even includes the $40 yearly "maintenance fee" that you will only find if you search for it yourself in the contract. The manager is nice enough, the dumbbells are heavy enough, and the equipment selection is diverse, but the positives end there. If they had any real competition, they'd be out of business with their current model. Terrible establishment, but unfortunately it's the only suitable option I have at the moment.

For weight lifters, go to buckeye instead (if you're close enough). For everyone else that's just looking for a place to exercise, grab a membership at snap or the Kent Wellness center. You'll be much...

The gym is very good with a variety of free weights and machines. The only issue with them is the charges. It’s already overpriced and has short hours especially on the weekends. If you want 24/7 access they charge you even more it’s $40/month!!! And they add some other benefits but to most people they’re completely minuscule. There were also MULTIPLE instances of them charging me twice in one month. After I cancelled my membership, they also told me that in the future if I want to come back I can use their student discount, which was never offered to me, meaning they basically stole money from me. This gym is great, but they are not good at promoting offers to customers and making sure that their customers get the best...
