This is review rating may not be for everyone.
Amerifit is a gym where many serious body builders work out. This is an anti-Planet Fitness (there are no pizza days). This place is where private personal trainers take on clients who do not have an affiliation with Planet Fitness. You can pay $5 per day if you want to meet occasionally.
What the casual person may see upon entering:
You will hear lots of grunting and weights being dropped. Do not be intimidated. The folks (men and ladies) are doing this for competitions (usually).
The place may seem run down (older weights / machines). Do not let this deceive you.
The place may seem small. Again - do not let this deceive you. They have smaller rooms / areas.
They do have classes upstairs that seem pretty intense (not my cup of tea).
Why 4 Stars:
1. I followed my trainer (which means I chose my trainer at a location where we could work out). My previous trainers were great but I did not necessarily like the gym (too crowded or not enough room to work out).
2. Equipment variety. Example - Cardio Equipment. Usually when you go into a gym, you will have a treadmill, a stepper, a recumbent bike, bike, elliptical) - All one type. Amerifit provides a variety of machines such as Cybex. Cybex is your traditional elliptical but you can control the elevation as well. They also have machines that will simulate ice skating
3. Intensity - You do see people seriously working out. This can either motivate or intimidate you. It motivates me. I can also see folks doing exercises correctly.
4. The folks are nice. All the associates I have met are very nice.
I apologize to the serious body builders for writing this review, but I think this is a very good secret to share. Find you a trainer, meet him/her at Amerifit, and workout.
This is not a chain gym where everything is new with standard (usually leased) equipment.
