    Great gym…but why do they have to play that damned music so loud is beyond me. Do they think everyone is deaf? It should be more of a background volume instead of the head-banging concert level volume they use.. It’s so freaking annoying. You can’t even talk to anyone. It’s the main reason I don’t go there much. They should take a cue from the Catalyst over in Lancaster…they’re volume is perfect.

    I signed up today, online. I was surprised that it was a contract that I actually signed up for, and didn’t know until I got to the actual gym, and the manager told me. I almost canceled but then I realized it’s not that expensive if I wanted to cancel the contract, so I kept the membership for now. I wanted to at least see if I actually liked the gym instead of being forced into a contract, which is why I preferred the month to month. The manager explained if I did I’d have to pay an extra fee which lead to close to 100$ upfront which was not something I wanted to do. It is a nice gym, very spacious and I joined mainly for yoga classes but the people at the front desk were not very friendly or welcoming. I just didn’t like the vibe I got from the staff, which is why I’m leaving 3 stars.

    Their billing department is trying to collect on a gym membership I have never used and had paid for over a year for. Every month, they call with a new higher amount owed, and it's gotten to the point that it can never be paid off. Now, they are threatening to send it to collections and have it run my credit. They really will destroy your life over nothing. Stay far, far away.

    Going there since it was Golds Gym. I give it 3 stars because the gym needs a total redo. Old machines.. not much new in years. BUT we hear the owners are refurbishing to make it an old school bodybuilding gym! I will give a million stars if it happens. For now it’s close I love Bob the trainer and nice staff. It had what we need.

    Employees need to strictly enforce turf rules. Too many people laying down/blocking/leaving equipment on the lanes. It’s a safety issue if I’m tripping over someone laying down!

    Always been good. But constantly improving. Could be quicker with broken machines.

  • 5/5 Frank L. 9 months ago on Google

  • 3/5 Syfe 7 months ago on Google
    It’s not bad but I don’t like how the women be wearing tight cloth and it’s just my opinion and the gym is over all good.

  • 3/5 Celly T. 9 months ago on Google
    Been over a month now the ac is either broke or needs service. But if feel like your slaving the heat and air is so bad in here. Been a member for over 10 years. These is very disappointing and unfair to the members. We're all complaining!

  • 4/5 Senghor E. 10 months ago on Google
    Catalust has always been a great place to workout. Have wnjoyed beinf a member for a couple of years now. I just wosh they offer more service and options.

  • 5/5 Anthony T. 11 months ago on Google
    This location was World's Gym back in the day. When I 1st went back it was dated, using Worlds equipment. But came back and pleasantly surprised,they remodeled and put new equipment. I was going to Maple but this location has more and better stuff to workout. They give you a nice variety between Machines and free weights to work with. If you want a good workout this is the spot.

    Good gym. Locker room and showers are in need of renovation.

  • 5/5 Jamie B. 1 year ago on Google
    Best gym in Buffalo, hands down. Great equipment, has all you could ask for!

  • 5/5 Brett I. 1 year ago on Google
    Just added this location onto my plan (or upgraded) and it was one of the best choices I’ve made all year. Very much appreciate the layout and staff I’ve encountered so far and it’s worth the extra distance to drive for me! Their equipment is rock solid.

  • 4/5 Ronald R. 1 year ago on Google
    The facility on Wehrle seems busier since the Eggert location closed, but this is still one of the cleanest gyms I have ever used.

  • 1/5 Peter M. 1 year ago on Google
    Gym is decent but my contract expired and I am still being charged and staff is making it extremely difficult to deal with this.

  • 5/5 Douglas M. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic equipment, always clean, and a friendly staff. Open longer hours than some of the other local gyms.

  • 4/5 Alex 8. 2 years ago on Google
    Catalyst is very nice and all, but it is a bit annoying I can't just tack on the water massage chairs for X per month and have to do a new contract. Nice clean gym though. I sort of prefer smaller places but the wife gets her classes and whatnot. If you're against a lot of people around you I would say go smaller but that statement is not really in their control so no complaints on my end.

  • 4/5 cynthia s. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm just so glad to be back. I did come back right after it reopened. The gym not only helps me physically but mentally to. I like the new make over of the gym also it needed it. Keep up the good work

  • 3/5 Brianna J. 1 year ago on Google
    I want to love this gym!! But the stuffiness sometimes is too much for me. I can’t get through a workout like that. I have to go to the Amherst location on the stuffy days. Please crank up the AC so I don’t have to drive further 🙏🏽

    Maple is my current "home" facility, closest to where I live and signed up for my membership. But I checked out the Wehrle location todat and it is pretty nice. Was able to get in a nice push day workout on my first visit. I think some features could maybe use a remodel. The locker rooms, restrooms etc. have kind of an 80s feel to them. But they seem decently maintained otherwise. I used a few weight machines and they all worked fine. I was also able to get ahold of a bench for some exercises which is pretty much impossible at the maple location with how crowded it gets. Seems to have much of the same equipment with regard to machines that Maple does. I did not see any racks for squats/powerlifting. However, as I was leaving I noticed that this location does have a room with turf. So there is a good chance I just missed seeing them and some other pieces of equipment. Would consider visiting again.

😠 Management clearly does not care about the gym or it’s members. The gym is regularly opened hours late due to staff not showing up, multiple pieces of equipment have been out of order for 6+ months, and the gym itself is in need of repair (damaged/water stained ceilings and floors). A waste of your...

😐 Overall a decent gym, but there are some things that need attention. One year ago they replaced Life Fitness cable+pulley multi-stations with Precor, which are woefully inadequate for commercial use. The result is that 3 of the 5 Precor stations have been out-of-order for 4 weeks, with broken/fraye...

😠 Even during Covid and the gyms are open, they still charge me full price even when I pay to have a guest. They are nothing but a money hungry company that does not abide by the contracts they have people sign. Time to find a new gym and I will never say anything good about this gym.ever. If I can gi...
