I’ve been going to Fitness Edge for almost a month, and I’ve been so happy with the variety of workouts, the instructors’ knowledge, and how kind everyone is here. Would 100% recommend for those who want to experience classes that focus on both strengthening and cardio. I can already notice increases in my strength and endurance. 5 stars for sure!

Rachel, thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review! We’re thrilled you’re enjoying the variety of classes, knowledgeable instructors, and friendly community. It’s great to hear you’re already noticing improvements in strength and endurance. We appreciate the recommendation and look forward to supporting your continued progress.
I showed up at Fitness Edge old and out of shape. I wasn’t interested in classes and was afraid of all the barbells and dumbbells that replaced the fitness machines I was accustomed to. But I can’t imagine being anywhere else now. Owner Darius and trainers Will and Sydney welcomed me, encouraged me and showed me I definitely do have a place there. I LOVE being a part of this community. And I love how strong I see myself becoming as a result of showing up!

The best gym in Lakewood! I joined Fitness Edge six months ago with very little weightlifting experience, and from day one all of the coaches made me feel comfortable and welcomed. Between coaches and members everyone is incredibly helpful and kind. They’ve helped me build confidence and learn proper techniques without ever feeling intimidated. I couldn’t ask for a better gym. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend Fitness Edge! They offer a wide variety of classes, all challenging in a different way. The staff is encouraging, fun and highly trained. It’s a 10/10 for me, get a membership you won’t regret it!

Thank you so much, Carrie! We’re thrilled you’re enjoying our variety of classes and that our team has been encouraging and fun. We appreciate the 10/10 recommendation and can’t wait to see you in class again.
I don't want to tank the ratings because I still enjoy this gym, but my once-a-week trainer cancels every other week because of their other job. I would love to be able to get in on off days and rely on my trainer to be available on the "on day", but I just get texts in the morning to reschedule. Tough to reschedule with work meetings planned out around one session once a week.
When I first moved to Cleveland 2 years ago, I had tried many gyms. Fitness Edge was the gym that finally felt like home to me. The coaches are amazing and got to know me so quickly. They are able to push me to my greatest potential. I have gotten so much stronger in my 2 years that I have been working out at Fitness Edge. Also, shoutout to Syd for the fire playlists!!
Couldn't say enough good things about Fitness Edge. It's the gym that helped me change my
Life. In 2009, I lost 110 pounds with the help of the Og crew, and now I'm working to be my
Strongest self. Darius, the owner, is always welcoming and interested in learning about
You, inspiring you, Will, and Syd are THE BEST TRAINERS.
I can't stress enough, this is a place to come as you are, and they will only support you
Your growth. It doesn't matter if you have to lie down for half of the class when you first start 😂 I can attest to this.
Whether you are looking to get into the best shape of your life or need to start from the beginning, this is your place.

Darius, Will, and Syd will be thrilled to hear your praise, and we always aim to make members feel welcome and supported no matter where they start. Your words mean a lot and will inspire others to begin their own journeys.
I recently began coming to Fitness Edge even though ive been in the neighbourhood for a few years now.. i had no clue that this special place was so close by!
The coaches that run the classes are so fun, kind, supportive, and knowledgeable about fitness!
The classes are designed with the science of movement in mind and I love how intentional everything is!
Each class is challenging but it keeps you coming back!
