10 Best gym in Springfield, Missouri (MO) 2024

I joined this gym back in January as part of my journey to get back on track with my fitness goals. I’ve leveraged their nutrition services, performance classes, and some of their testing services. The whole experience has been wonderful, the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The performance programming is well thought out and even works on strengthening muscles groups that are often neglected. Very happy to be part of this gym! ~Phillip

I have always been intimidated by the gym setting, and especially so after my accident that left me with a permanent disability. I have eased myself into personal training with Sara, who absolutely gives me the confidence I need to continue on my hard days. The gym is small and has a family vibe as you see the same people day in and day out. You will always be greeted by the owners….whether it’s a high-five, hello, good job today or just making sure you are getting the most out of your workout. I highly recommend Propel to anyone! ~Lisa

Just joined silver sneakers( its free) at center. I went to Chesterfield fitness center this morning for the 9:30 class in low impact Aqua aerobics but there was no teacher and the ladies there told me to go to the Cox Health Fitness Center there's teachers and it's a bigger pool and it also has a therapy pool it looks really nice it's very clean very nice very big and it has a Subway sandwich shop in the lobby ~Lucy

I'm going to preface this by saying that I haven't been in many gyms, and I have only ever gone during the unstaffed hours. With that said, the gym feels crowded. Not with people, but with the equipment and lack of space. Evens with all the equipment, I seem to always be waiting to use it. 5/5 for being open 24 hours 2/5 for environment ~Matthew

HANDS DOWN BEST PLACE TO GET IN SHAPE! It was challenging at first but I'm now a year in and loving every bit of my fitness journey here! Since starting to workout here I've leaned out, built muscle tone, learned how to do pullups and handstand walk (still perfecting this one) and so much more! You'll feel like a beast when you finish your workout. WARNING: you might have a hard time going back to the conventional gym after working out here a few times. 😆 No two workouts are the same so you're never bored and the people here are so friendly. This gym is like a family. 😄 If you're on the fence, there is a free try-out workout! ~Abigail

I buldged a disk in my back along with compressing the spine. I had been in pain for a couple of years. In that couple of years I got out of shape and had pain from my back daily. I decided I needed a change and Pavel has helped me make that change. He has so much knowledge of how the body works and what muscles you need to use to strengthen different parts of your body. I have been pain free since I started training with him. I no longer need heating pads for my back or medicine. I would highly recommend him if you have any kind of back issue! He can get your body into better shape and help strengthen you back. ~Amber

Shem and his team have blown us away. My 11 year old son, Dylan, is so excited every Friday night because he gets to gi work out on Saturday morning. Shem has added so many different classes this fall. Dylan works his rear off and has so much fun. It has been a joy to see his confidence soar through the roof. Shem works the kids hard and has FUN! Dylan does boxing and agility this season and he loves it. Shem has a nice clean gym with a very positive atmosphere. We recommend Primal Fitness and Shem Johnson for families looking to get their kids involved in an activity that pushes them physically and mentally. Thank you Shem! Dylan's Mom. ~Lindsey

I just started getting back in the gym after a few years break. I loved doing CrossFit when I was AD, but was a little apprehensive to get back to an actual gym. I'm not in the shape I once was and I know it can be intimidating to attend a class like CrossFit, especially when there are some great athletes in the classes. There WAS NOTHING TO FEAR HERE! They are super friendly and welcoming. The coaches are great and offer outstanding advice and encouragement throughout the workouts. They ensure you're safe and the only competition is with yourself. There is plenty of space and equipment. The prices are reasonable, especially for the valuable coaching they provide. I'm so thankful to have found this gym, I think I'm hooked. ~Nathan

Young, old, experienced or new to working out. this is the place for you to grow strength and friendships. Great community and coaches. Signed——— stewbacca ~Stewart
