    I Tried out this gym via classpass, when I was looking for a local gym to complement my pilates training. After taking a few classes here, this is what I was able to discover Pros: I liked that this gym was very class-oriented Other women at the gym made me feel welcome Part of classpass, so no extra money wasted. Cons: Not enough equipment for the number of people in the class led to people using weights and equipment that shouldn't have been used. Modifications for exercises were not mentioned or discussed. The teacher loved to stand at the front of the room and bark out what to do (with a headset, really?! come on) while her minion demonstrated behind her. At no point was anyone ever corrected or any suggestions for form to be improved. If you are comfortable in a class with 20+ people, with no correction.. this place is for you. Personally, I rather have a smaller class size and more personal attention. This gym setup was just not for me.

    I was waiting to post an actual review because I wanted to try different classes and try to get to know everyone beforehand. I joined in March after purchasing a Groupon for 10 classes and quickly decided to join after taking two classes and mostly the fact that they are so close to home. Now, my reason for staying is mostly due to every instructor being fantastic, effective, helpful, and fun. Every instructor is different and they all have different styles and workouts and energies, it's really one of a kind and so motivating and inspiring to be apart of. I joined a couple gyms in the past and the staff is so detached from their members that it's very easy to fumble around and give up if you're not confident in your workout. At Vigorous, they're not only involved but they're welcoming and you can clearly see how much they care about their members and treat them like family. I'm happy and yes I do see amazing results! I go 3-4 times a week because I work a lot but it's definitely worth it and I'm definitely stronger and closer and closer to where I want to be.

    This gym is in walking distance from my house and I love it. The gym is so clean , you can eat off the floor. The equipment is very well maintained and you're never rushed or have to wait for anything. The staff is very courteous and always greet you with a smile. It's never overly crowded, so you're able to get in a full complete workout. I would highly recommend this gym to the weekly gym enthusiast.

    I hope people know this place doesn’t exist anymore. I booked on class pass and drove 15 mins only to find out this place doesnt exist. I called and the nice woman on the phone told me this place merged with W fitness club located on 65th st and wood haven blvd. There’s nothing at this location anymore it’s completely abandoned. Don’t go here

    I've been with Vigorous Fitness since they opened, and am still very happy here. 5 years and counting! From the start there's been a great vibe to the club - the staff are friendly and receptive every day, and the same great vibe is still here. As a member you feel like you count! And the instructors at this gym continue to be the best, most creative fitness instructors I've ever had. Love it!!

    Trained there yesterday, for the first time, it is a very good gym, had everything I could think of, everything i needed. Has the newest most up to date Hammer Strength, Cybex and Life Fitness equipment plus two squat racks, benches, for free weights. Been training for 49 years, this place impressed me. The clientele are really nice, employees friendly very knowledgeable. While lifting I could see and hear one of their trainers working with a member, I could tell he really knew what he was doing and took great care of the person he was training. Think his name was Manny Batiz. Highly recommend this place weather you are just starting out or lifting for 49 years, this place is very good.

    I love this place. Great arena for working out. Clean, working equipment, friendly atmosphere by the employees, trainers and attendees. No other gym compares to this one. (The shakes are pretty awesome too.) Get Motivated... Get Vigorous!

    Great gym. Great friendly staff. Would have given 5 stars if they opened at 5 A.M. unfortunately if there isn't a change in this time I will have to cancel my membership. I start work at 7:00 A.M. and just can't make it to work with the 6:00A.M. open time. Even 5:30 A.M. could make a difference.

    Love this boutique style gym. Great music and club feel. Not your typical chain gym like Crunch or NYSP. Very clean and welcoming feel. Close to home, easy street parking available. Victoria is awesome and extremely motivating, I came here a few times on ClassPass and quickly signed up for a 1 year membership. They have awesome protein shakes, classes and peloton available.

    I’ve been coming here for a whole month now and taking fitness classes. So far, so good. The instructor was clear and encouraging. The other staff are polite and welcoming.

  • 5/5 Alexander A. 3 years ago on Google • 7 reviews
    A great place for beginner and intermediate lifters and those who want to get fit. Also good for those who powerlift although too many of them in one night may lead to a 45lbs plate shortage haha

    Been here 2 years, love this gym, knocked off a star because I consider 5 stars to be perfection. I can't speak to classes, because I don't take them, and I train late at night so I don't know about peak hours. But the staff is friendly, the place is perfectly clean, they have a good variety of machines and free weights for a small gym, and it's got a unique lounge feel to it. No showers, no water fountains, no parking lot, but they make shakes and stuff, have towel service, and membership is reasonably priced and can be paid month-to-month (they also allow account freezing if you're going to be away for a while). I'm completely satisfied with it, it just depends what you're looking for.

  • 2/5 Marta 6 years ago on Google
    Bought a Groupon to try out the classes here. But was only able to use 4 out of the 10 classes because the classes I signed up for kept getting cancelled. Four of my classes were cancelled!! And they don't even notify you of the cancellations. Only reason I knew not to show up was that my sis-in-law always called to check status of class and then let me know no class. Feel like I wasted my money on my Groupon. 🙁 The only positive is that I really liked Emily's Classes.

    I can’t say enough good things about this place! From the motivating and caring trainers, front desk, and staff to the awesome friends I’ve made, Vigorous is a place I look forward to going and miss when I can’t! It’s not a gym, it’s a community of people who want to be healthier and motivate one another to work harder!

  • 5/5 Maria B. 7 years ago on Google
    This gym is absolutely amazing, the setting has a comfortable and warm feel. Equipment is great! Staff are great! Hours are great! Gym is clean and judgement free! In my opinion the best of all, are the classes. Some of my favorites are, "Comfort Zone Crush" by Victoria, "Synrgy 360" by Vicky, "Barreless Barre" by Emily, "Willpower Boot Camp" & "Willpower Cycling" both by Roy. These classes are incredible and there is so much more! Expect body changing results! Classes are held all day long. There is a two (2) week - free trial period going on! Come see what I'm talking about, trust me you'll be glad you did!

  • 5/5 Izabela S. 7 years ago on Google
    Member for about a month and a half now, very dedicated training panel; Currently signed for class program offered at a higher monthly rate but I would say worth the extra expense. Variety of classes offered at convenient hours, running 55 min each, spinning, hiit, with both cardio and strength elements, boot camps (toughest!) to name a few. No regrets.

  • 2/5 Adrian S. 7 years ago on Google
    Staff is extremely rude and the classes are scheduled so badly. What a waste of money on this membership.

  • 5/5 Lauren P. 9 years ago on Google
    Fabulous gym! The classes are wonderful - energetic, diverse, easy to follow, and tons of fun. The Vigorous staff are caring to your needs and extremely helpful. Join!

  • 3/5 Kevin R. 6 years ago on Google
    Great equipment, but good music is only played half of the time at most and air conditioning during the summer is horrible. Doesn't exactly help me focus on my workout even when I want to. Maybe play some pump up music rather than pop and actually invest in a decent air conditioning system, like the ones in restaurants.

    Great gym, Very great Genuine members & staff could not ask for more for a gym KISS. Also makes delicious protein that really does the job. Its pricey but its sure DAMN WORTH IT!! Should be no problem on achieving results.

  • 5/5 Keith W. 3 years ago on Google
    I'm really impressed with this gym. I feel safe coming here because they have all the equipment a safe distance apart and even have plexiglass between the machines!

  • 3/5 Max S. 4 years ago on Google
    Has a basic set of machines and free weights. But if other people are there you might have to wait. Upstairs class area.

  • 5/5 Lorraine S. 4 years ago on Google • 1 review
    This gym has something for everyone! It has a friendly atmosphere and a young vibe that's welcoming to members of all ages. You never feel like an outsider. The instructors are top-notch. The classes are challenging and fresh. They offer early-morning classes, which is a plus. They have-up-to date equipment, including Peloton bikes! The front desk staff is great -- warm and helpful. And there’s always some exciting activity going on to keep you motivated.

    Today I completed my very first Spartan race as part of the team from this gym and I wanted to comment on my very amazingly positive experience. I can definitely say that I would not have been able to cross that finish line without the help of the trainers and the members here. The trainers, Roy and Victoria, helped us train for this race and encouraged and pushed everyone to keep going when we thought we could not go any further making sure that we all made it through to the end. This is an excellent gym with great members, a great staff and a totally positive environment. There is a large assortment of classes for all fitness levels. I am very proud to have a membership here and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to challenge themselves.

    Absolutely love it! If you are tired of going to gym and doing the same thing every day, then this is the place for you. The classes are amazing and so much variety for whatever you are into (weight training, boot camp, spinning, Zumba, yoga, to name a few). I am a faithful follower of Victoria’s V Fusion classes and look forward to taking her classes every week. The staff is very friendly and is always there to assist. You won’t regret joining!
