Can't say enough good things about this place

2026-04-30T00:28:09.093Z

I have been going here for over a decade now and can’t recommend it enough for people of all fitness levels. The gym has a great variety of free weights and machines. Cleanliness has never been a problem for me whatsoever. Matt the owner does a great job at keeping everything in line and up to par. The amenities are very good, I enjoy the sauna and the 24/7 access. They have a wide variety of group classes as well as private and semi-private classes, ensuring options for everyone. The front desk staff is incredible as well, Mary and Carol are very accommodating. Can’t recommend it enough to anyone in the Akron area looking for a solid gym with lots of options at a good price point.

I just L0VE THIS GYM !! No one is pretentious…everyone is just there to work ! My pilates instructor, Marlys, is so fabulous that I’m going to see if I can pay for a second class each week. The stretching that she has me doing is bringing my nasty back pain down to a bare minimum….maybe one more weekly session and I’ll have that problem become almost non-existent….but to keep things that way, I need to stick with her program. The woman knows her stuff and analyses every move I make to help me make corrections. I can’t say enough about my changes since I started her classes several months ago !!!!!!!!!

I have been going to PWC for many years. The staff are friendly, and I've never felt judged or intimidated by anyone which i cannot say of other gyms I've belonged to.I do the semi-private training and I like my trainers. They provide challenging workouts that are appropriate for me and my goals. They are knowledgeable and helpful in making sure I do the exercises correctly so as to get the most benefit without injury.Now for my mea culpa. Recently, I provided a review I've since removed noting my frustration with the cleanliness of the training room and the lack of AC on the 4th floor. I was frustrated and should have gone to the owner directly. He phoned me and we had a good conversation about the situation and the issues have either been resolved or are in process. I sincerely appreciate his taking the time to talk to me about my concerns. A lot of managers at other businesses wouldn't do that. Thank you!

I like this gym for the equipment and the two workers who are always there is nice. It’s not bad if you don’t mind there somehow always being an 80yr old goofing off on the machine next to you like a toddler. It’s like they start across the entire gym working a completely different bodypart and somehow end up right next to you working the same thing you’re working. It’s uncanny, and sometimes smelly, but they don’t bother you, so, whatever I guess.Don’t ever try to superset 2 machines at once though, or an 80yr old doing bicep curls WILL walk across the almost entirely empty gym and up a flight of steps to take the Leg Press you’re trying to use (there’s 3 other similar machines) for a set of 80 half reps that takes 20 minutes. It’s fine though… good equipment ig…

Great gym. 24 hours. Really cool indoor track. One gripe is I’m used to always cleaning equipment and working out at night there’s never wipes left to clean. Now, I’m not getting sweat all over the machines and am a clean person..but it still makes me feel like a jerk. Not to mention I have no clue what grossness I may be sitting on 🫣 This is the only reason I removed a star.I can’t speak for the men’s area, but I do see comments about smell. It is an old building for sure..but I have a very sensitive nose and have had no issues so I can’t say what that’s all about. I don’t feel the gym is dirty in general either. Sauna is always on in the women’s side.

One of the best gyms around. What I enjoy most is 24/7 access and the price, not to say the equipment.👍

i just started going here. So far I like it. I dont think people realize how near impossible a former bally's is to maintain. It is a huge facility that underneath is older than a lot of the gyms in the area. I mainly use the cable based machines on the upper floor with the track. I tried a 7 day trial and one of the machines had been broken having had its cable snap. I stopped by three days later on my last day of the free trial to see if it had been fixed already ( thats never happened that fast in my years of gyms) and it had. My only real complaint is that the lockerooms need some TLC. You can tell they are basically unchanged from the scandanavian days. The benches wobble when you sit and the toilet are just looks worn out. Also it looks like they are trying to use the most minimal lighting in the locker room. it is dark! With a few minor locker room updates it would be awesome. Love that there is a smoothie bar, premade shakes... etc etc etc etc ... keep it up...

The staff at this gym is great to work with. They realize everyone has different fitness goals and budgets and do whatever it takes to get results. Top notch!!

I've been a member at your facility for a little over a year, along with a few family members. I just want to express my appreciation for everything you all do and offer. Your facility is always clean, everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. Your receptionist are always kind and greets everyone with a smile, it's always an uplifting energy when I walk in and when I leave after my workout. I especially want to express my gratitude for you all personally signing and send me a card wishing me a happy birthday. It really means a lot and I can't thank you all enough. Things like that really mean a lot to people and again I just want to thank you.

Two weeks ago I was shopping for a new gym and I went into PWC. My plan wasn’t to sign up but just shop around. I was greeted by Mary who was super friendly and she showed me around. Mary did such a phenomenal job making me feel welcomed I signed up. I recently moved back to Akron after living in Arizona for ten years. I've been a member simultaneously at different gyms for various reasons. I must say Personalized Wellness Center holds up with the best of them. After being a member for two weeks at PWC and coming in at different times here is my sincere review. 🔵1. PWC has a nutrition bar where they make fresh smoothies and offer supplements. (get a fresh smoothie after/before working out) 🔵2. PWC is open 24/7 so you can work out at your convenience. 🔵3.PWC has free weights,bicycles,treadmills,ellipticals, a track and a ton of machines. 🔵4.PWC also has a daycare for kids,a rehabilitation center and also personal trainers. 🔵5. PWC has a practical and reasonable monthly subscription 🔵6.Mature crowd 🔵7.Sauna 🎯I've been to gyms on the west coast were you pay $129 a month and gym's were you pay $19 a month. It's the same workout,whether you pay 10k for a rolex or ten dollars for a timex they both tell the same time. 🎯The more expensive gym's, yes did have newer equipment, fancier tv's, state of the art sound systems, big smoothie and supplement stores. 🎯At the end of the day your body & health transformation depends on YOU!! You have to go into the gym you have to lift the weights,you have to get on the treadmill and you have to want it. Typically not always but typically those big "franchised gyms' it's more of a social hour and people wearing too much cologne/perfume. That doesn't happen at PWC I highly recommend PWC it has everything a big franchise gym has but yet gives you the at home feel

Great gym, clean, well maintained equipment, friendly staff.

2022-03-01T16:09:40.467Z

I've been a member for over 30 years, various owners. This owner is best. If you want low cost exercise, you can get it...if you want personalized training they have that too. Clean and nice people. Good value

2022-02-13T10:43:13.000Z

These guys do personal training right way. They’ve got very good equipment, very good people. Jordan Duncan in particular does great - gets the most out of me and pushes me in a very nice way to get better.

2022-01-25T16:32:21.000Z

How concerned everyone is about your health, I love how friendly they all are. Highly recommend this place if you are looking to get yourself in a better state. Thank you so much PWC.

2021-10-10T06:43:11.000Z

Great environment for all your exercise needs from weight training to more high intensity fitness. Not an overcrowded place and able to perform your workout. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Very clean which is important for me.

2020-11-14T15:36:42.449Z

PWC is a spacious, updated facility with a very accommodating and motivating staff. I have been exercising here for the past six years. Couldn’t be more pleased.

2020-11-13T06:14:16.000Z

The Personalized Wellness Center has an attentive and highly skilled set of personal trainers who will create a routine of workouts to help you reach your fitness goals. The people who workout there are friendly and remember your name. It is not like a big impersonal gym franchise - but is more like a group of friends that get together and exercise.
