IMB Akron/TFC Wellness, Inc. Reviews

A very mediocre gym. Cardio equipment and the resistance machines are starting to show their age. The free weight area is pretty crowded. Nobody seems to rerack anything during unstaffed hours.

I would recommend unsubscribing from the mailing list. Matt and the staff like to constantly spam you via text and email with an inane newsletter pushing their personal training services.

If you don't immediately fill our their surveys when they send it out they will hound you about it until you do. As you can tell I am grumpy and annoyed by it.

Britta..."In the last few months I ve been doing FIT I ve lost another 10 lbs, but more importantly I m seeing my body change. Now not only am I losing weight but I m gaining muscle, increasing my endurance, and gaining a new found confidence in myself. In my weight loss journey these last couple years PWC has played such a critical role everyone I come into contact with is so supportive and encouraging, they really give me the confidence that I needed to push myself that extra mile."

I m sure the other amenities are great, but hoping to see some improvement in the weight room. I ve been to many gyms and am a fitness instructor myself, never have I been to a gym that did not implement some kind of reracking policy. I will walk in and weights will be everywhere, all over the floor, on the wrong tree and many members don t even bother to Unrack off of the barbells. For a facility with an older clientele, I would think this would be a priority as many cannot I tack 225lbs.

Never a wait for any of the machines...always a fun environment with music and I feel rejuvenated when I leave... We are very lucky to have this facility in the valley of West Akron

There is no finer place to exercise! The instructors and trainers are very knowledgeable -- and even better - they have the ability to make working fun ! This is not a gym for critical, elite snobbery.... there is no feeling of intimidation there. Everyone is encouraging and no one is judgmental. It's a comfortable environment -- with every level of intensity available....from Silver Sneakers for seniors to a very strenuous "boot camp" -- and everything in between.The goal is clearly customized to produce a workout appropriate for each client. Nikki and Kim are two of the finest trainers and instructors. .I don't know her name but I'm told that the woman who teaches yoga is also fantastic! Dave is so welcoming -- and Matt is conscientious and always meeting and exceeding the high level of customer expectations.

Being in a silver sneaker class myself, I look forward to Monday, Wednesday and Friday sessions with people who have rapidly become friends. It really helps to keep me enthused about never missing a class if I can possibly make it !

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.

I've been working out here for over four years and I've never regretted my choice. I visited and tried out other gyms in the area but chose the Wellness Center (RP Fitness when I joined) because of the people. The management/employees have created an environment that is very conducive to long term engagement and success. It's a fairly large space and they offer just about any kind of equipment you could ask for. However, there are many gyms I visited with similar or better accommodations. The difference is the people. Since starting at RP Fitness years ago, I've invited friends and family to come and check it out and every single one of them joined and still works out here.

Not safe after the staff is gone. I have been a member for over 2 years. We dropped our membership after in July after the issue of safety could not be fixed. They have someone who props open the doors so you can walk in the building and go straight up to the track without having to use your key card. After bringing this to their attention, I was told it wasn't possible to get up their without the key card, but they would look into it. I have a video of myself walking in the back door of the building and all the way up to the track with no key card scanning at all. Due to not feeling safe, we decided to let our membership go.

Now for the last month I've been trying to reach Matt the owner and have been completely ignored. This is a terrible way to end a membership. I highly recommend, especially women, not to sign up with this gym at this time.
