I’m a new member (joined the end of September). I’m really enjoying the club. It’s one of the best things that has happened to me in 2025. A visit to Movati is like a mini-vacation in the middle of my day. I enjoy the workout and feel great when I leave after a hot sauna and shower (and maybe a protein smoothie on the way out the door ;-). I’m already feeling so much stronger and healthier (I just turned 70 and have had both cancer and a hip replacement over the past 5 years - my body has taken a beating, but I am turning a corner!! LOL.)
There are many things I like about the club. There is a wide assortment of equipment, and it’s all well maintained....read full review
Really solid gym overall. The machine selection is great and the equipment is always clean and well-maintained. The front desk staff are super friendly and welcoming, especially Jimmy, Abby, and Libby, who always make a point of greeting members and creating a positive atmosphere. Definitely one of the better gyms I’ve been to.
I love going to this place, especially for the classes. All the instructors are awesome and the vibe of the place is incomparable. Good machines and clean space. Definitely recommended.
