 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say how nice this gym is. A good amount of the gyms around have all these flashy perks that are never used. EB Fitness obviously decided to skip that and invest in a huge area (waiting for equipment is the worst), more specific gym equipment than I have ever seen at any gym (a ton of Hammer Strength and free weights) and it is unbelievably clean. I would expect nothing less from a gym owned by an actual body builder and not some huge corporation. I cannot say enough about how grateful I am that North Ridgeville is starting to grow and that we have something this quality in our city.

Edit: I am still absolutely loving Pope Fitness. They have added many different additional pieces of equipment and are adding a masseuse and body scanning equipment. This is by far my favorite gym I have ever worked out at, everyone here is kind and will gladly spot you if you ask. Not a lot of ego but a lot of support and kind people.

They have two Trainers they have are amazing!! Travis Reynold’s and Travis Leon. Travis Reynold’s is mine he is great! Pope takes Silver Sneakers!! I am 72 years old and Travis has helped me immensely. He helped me recover from my total knee replacement. At Pope they can accommodate young to Seniors. I highly recommend Pope Fitness!!
