I’ve been going to this gym practically since they opened, so I think about seven or eight years now. They are a small gym, but they have a great selection of free weights and machines. Unless you only go at peak hours, there’s usually no wait to use whatever equipment you want. I’ve had a great experience with them so far, and it’s great value for the money. The staff and other members are polite - no obnoxious or overly loud people like you have in big commercial gyms. The owner is really nice. I don’t do many of the classes, but I’ve only ever heard good things about them. My one complaint is that the benches were put together slightly incorrectly. The handle on the end of the bench should be bolted in two spots, but it’s only bolted in one, making the handle floppy. It makes the benches extremely difficult to move around, and I’ve hurt myself on it a couple times over the years. I’ve seen some older people have a really hard time and just give up on moving them. It would be an incredibly easy fix, so I’m not sure why it’s been that way for so many years. And also, they don’t have mirrors behind the squat racks anymore. That’s a really useful spot to have them to check your form.

I loved this facility and the group fitness instructors, and then Covid hit. Since reopening last May and a strong initial statement concerning Covid precautions, there have been no updates online. My doctor advised against gym attendance. Zoom classes were offered but recently discontinued. I was paying full price premium membership for these zoom classes only 2 or 3 times a week, even though I was not physically going into the gym at all, and even though the online classes would sometimes be cancelled without notice due to technical issues. Communication with management has been difficult at best, condescending and defensive at worst. After all, this facility adjoins Woodside and many of the members are in an at risk category. I feel that my questions and concerns were simply dismissed. I have cancelled my membership. Read your contract very carefully.

Another post had mentioned about the older lady (wont say any names for privacy and there is only one older lady there) but she was a bit rude as well. Not sure if thats her attitude normally.

I absolutely love this gym! I do large training classes here with Hannah and she is amazing. I’ve enjoyed every trainer I’ve had. They are all very knowledgeable and professional but also make working out fun! The staff is very attentive and welcoming. The gym itself is always clean and has nice, up to date equipment. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyobe who dreads working out and wants a fun place to go to motivate them!

Village Fitness is NOT your typical muscle head gym! You are not just a number...the staff know you by name and greet you with a smile at the front entrance. The facility is top-notch and the cleanest gym Ive ever worked out in. The trainers are always available to assist you when you are on the floor and the group fitness classes are like going to a huge fitness party. They make the workouts fun and exciting, and it is simply the best part of my day. They have many different levels of membership to accommodate every budget and training need and have been the most helpful with my success.Ive been a member at Golds and Achieve and they dont even compare to the level of attention you receive at Village Fitness. Ive been a member of Village Fitness over a year now and have lost close to 100 lbs. The Training Director at this facility is extremely knowledgeable and designs programs that work for each individual. He is constantly on the floor with his trainers making sure the members get the most out of each visit and achieve the results and motivation they came for. I have never had a gym membership where I feel like Im part of a family, and thats exactly how I feel at Village Fitness. You can see that the staff actually care about their members, because service doesnt stop after they have your signature on a contract. They are with you every step of your journey and make sure you are accountable.I am extremely happy with my gym and encourage everyone to come try it out!

I really enjoy working out at Village Fitness! Its a nice, clean gym with a family-like environment. The gym offers a variety of classes, but my favorite activities are small group training and the afterburn class. The trainers are knowledgeable and can modify exercises as needed. Come check out Village Fitness!

I have been going to this gym for about two years now and I love it. They have a wide variety of classes that fit all different types of activity levels and ages. Class schedules are available for working and non working people. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable and always there to assist with questions and meal plans. I would recommend this gym to anyone.

I signed up for a challenge last May and loved the experience so much that I joined as a Premium Level Member plus 1 small group training a week. The facility is well-maintained, clean, and has all the equipment I need in order to stay in shape. The staff are all very friendly. Trainers are knowledgeable and very helpful. I love that I can go to the gym and not feel like Im in a meat market. Everyone that Ive met that goes there is looking to better themselves and not hook up with someone. I also like that Im not just a number, but a valued member. I highly recommend Village Fitness!

Its great to finally workout in a clean facility. No odors, no mildew, no sweaty stains on headrests. Everything is spotless, and the locker rooms are out of this world. All the instructors are certified in the classes they teach, personal trainers are more concerned about form and function than weight lifted, and everyone has a genuine interest in helping members reach their goals.

I went in to join their challenge! I wanted to do something to be more healthy, lose weight just to get out of the rut I fell into. I knew I needed some help. When I was evaluated, I did not know how bad of shape I was in. I was not even sure that I could do the challenge. I did the challenge! I made it through! I not only made it, I look forward to working out! I lost to this day a total of 13 lbs and 16 inches through watching my diet and exercise! I recommend coming in and talk to Richard or Jason!

The facility is nice and the monthly price since I “worked” in the area (I don’t anymore) was okay, so I’m fine waiting out my contact even though I don’t use the facility, what I don’t like is being charged a late fee before my due date and paying double what I owe, It has happened before and they had it put back into my account but the last few times nobody will respond to my emails, so I would say don’t join it, join planet fitness or somewhere else unless you don’t mind paying extra money.

Nice and clean facilities. Staff is knowledgeable. 4 stars instead of 5 just because some of the equipment is inaccessible during group classes in the main part of the gym. My trainer set me up with a basic workout plans and I can’t do some of it because there are always classes when I go after work and the equipment i need is blocked off.

I want to give this place 5 stars, I used to work out here a year ago and I loved it. Recently I got a text offering a free 14 day pass & decided to try to use it for one of their classes before shortly shipping out to boot camp for the army. The older short haired lady at the front desk was extremely rude, condescending & uncooperative to me for wanting to use the pass just for the 14 days. I ended up not even working out there that morning; went to Golds. Great place with great classes, but geeze, dont treat people that way!

Wonderful place to work out! Great facilities, super helpful staff, and knowledgeable trainers!! Wouldn’t want to work out any other place in Aiken!

Beware of being given misleading information- certain claims were given to me when starting my membership, and I ended up being charged an extra $200-300 due to hidden contract clauses and fees. I was rushed into signing an agreement and was never given a copy of my contract. Aside from this, the group personal training classes are extremely crowded and not worth paying for. I would not recommend this gym to others based predatory behavior and similar facilities/ less crowding that you can find elsewhere at a better and more transparent rate.

I have belonged to many gyms in different places over the years. Village Fitness is by far the best! It is friendly, encouraging and positive. It has all the amenities you could want but in a smaller, personalized environment. I highly recommend the small group training and team training. The trainers and staff are great! Shout out to trainer Stephanie, she is a terrific teacher and so encouraging! I look forward to my workouts and that makes me more fit and healthy!
