Best fitness center in Carmel, Indiana (IN) 2025

After being a member for about 2 years, I decided to go elsewhere. Finally getting around to writing my review. There are a handful of pro’s and con’s about this gym. In summary this is a good gym that could be greatly improved by a few small tweaks. Equipment: Although I really enjoyed the weight equipment, the treadmills and ellipticals are ancient. Facility: The facility is somewhat well kept. However the bathrooms are filthy. The showers in particular are horrendous. This was surprising to me as every news letter I got boasted about the cleanliness of the facility. Atmosphere: Overall the atmosphere is casual, but has some pretty serious "bro" vibes...One trainer made an unsolicited point to critique every single exercise I did. Lastly, the receptionist, never said hi, smiled, or greeted me. I’d expect that at local gym. ~Adam

Shred415: a great workout studio that doesn't take itself too seriously, unlike a similar place with a color in its name... if you catch my drift. Every time I take a Shred class I leave in a better mood. Everyone (and I mean everyone) on staff is friendly and genuinely seems happy that you're there. The music is great and the workouts are challenging but also very customizable to how you're feeling that day. I don't live in Indianapolis anymore but when I'm home, my trip feels incomplete if I'm not able to get at least one Shred class in. ~Clare

Better Bodies is a hidden gem of so many gyms in the Carmel area. Very private, never busy, with new equipment. Extremely clean. Wilson gave us a tour and processed our enrollment. He is very friendly and responsive. Great gym and staff! Thank you. ~Michael
