Colanzi's Moira'mensing Cafe

Warhorse Barbell Club

Gym

👍👍 I can’t say enough great things about Warhorse. Before I came here, I had lifted a few times here or there, but mostly did group fitness classes.

Fight Club Philadelphia

Boxing club

👍👍 I've been coming to FCP since April 2021. Without their support, I'd have never been able to lose over 100 lbs. Every day they challenge the member to be "better than yesterday." I'm so grateful to be part of this gym!

As someone with no previous martial arts experience, I figured getting my butt handed to me daily would be the ultimate cure for a rough summer. And boy, was I right! 😂💪 Now, when I say my butt got handed to me daily, I'm not kidding! I've...
