I started my Journey in November 2021. I was nervous since it had been 30 yrs since I have been to a gym of any type. As soon as I walked I felt an immediate welcome from not just the staff but also the other members. Brandon has been very helpful with sharing his knowledge and taking time to show this old goat all the equipment and how it works. Giving encouragement to keep going and a daily "Hello or How are you doing today?" He always makes time for all of the members. This a safe , clean, comfortable environment for all. All the employees are always welcoming and very helpful with even the simplest questions I may have. I recommend Riverside Athletic Club completely. Come in and see how they can help you start your road to being a better and healthier you!

I started 2 years ago. I was overweight, and severe arthritis. I started loosing weight and moving better. Then I had a lengthy surgery and did my therapy in the same facility, I was back in the gym in two weeks afterwards. Everyone is pleasant and extremely helpful, not even a year and I'm going 3-4 times a week. I feel this gym saved me from ending up stuck in a wheelchair!

Recently joined the gym and absolutely love it here. I enjoy the classes that are offered and they have classes that are geared for everyone. I would like it if they offered more for kids under 16, for younger children ages 5 to 10. I think it's great to teach kids about good health and exercise early. Some suggestions would be kid camps for sports, swimming lessons, more openings for gymnastics, etc... I would also suggest putting descriptions of the classes offered, on the website. Most people joining for the first time may not know what many of the classes entail. I've met some wonderful people at the classes and the front desk staff is amazing, kind, friendly and very helpful. I recommend anyone who is thinking of joining, to definitely check it out!!
