Wow! Where to start!? This is one of the BEST gyms in the Mankato area! I have been a member at FF10 for 3 years and have enjoyed every moment! Having a very clean, comfortable and spacious gym is a feeling like no other. The value and quality that you are able to receive by being a regular member of just 10 bucks a month is quite unreal when you look at this gym. They offer a large classroom where you are able to participate in virtual workout sessions through a large video screen. This room also offers a large space where they hold yoga class on Monday and Wednesdays! As with any gym certain times of the day are much more busy than non peak hours. However, even when I have arrived to workout during peak hours I have never had a problem having a machine to do cardio or to get on a weight station. Its a great feeling everytime I arrive at gym because the front desk staff is always there to greet you and ask how you are doing. At times when I have had questions regarding nutrition or proper techniques you can always ask one of the personal trainers on staff. At 24/7 gyms this can be difficult because they are not always staff; not at FF10 though, they always have someone there to help in any way! Having a clean gym is something you may not care about until you see dirt, hair and dust on machines at other gyms. It is very rare when Im at the gym that the staff is not cleaning equipment or cleaning the floors. Fitness for 10 also has a great locker room with showers and lockers. I would highly recommended checking out Fitness for 10 if you are considering a new home gym. I have been a member at Snap Fitness, Anytime Fitnnes and student at MSU using Otto fitness center, and this gym by far exceeds them all in quality, space, and location. Go check it out! ***I am in no way afilated with the gym nor do I work here. I am senior at MSU and am simply a very happy member at Fintess for 10 who had to give this a 5 start review for how awesome this gym is. Its truly become my second home! Craig S.

I have held memberships at several different gyms in my life. As a former athlete, fitness has always been important to me. Fitness for $10 is hands down the best gym I have ever been a member of. The staff is incredible; friendly and always willing to assist. Manager Chad does a great job of hiring the right people, brining in the latest equipment, maintenance issues are handled quickly, and he genuinely listens to his customers concerns. Rarely is the gym so crowded I cant get on the right equipment. You will never know your in the basement as it is well lit and very spacious. Machines are not stacked on top of each other. Highly recommend this gym to anyone from HS and College athletes, to retired individuals looking to maintain their health.

The front desk staff is friendly and the gym and locker room are always clean. The equipment is in good shape and despite the gym being busy it seems like everyone is able to get on a machine they want fairly quickly. This will probably be even better once the expansion is done. I like the studio area where they hold classes and the option to do a video class on your own. I havent done the tanning or hydro massage but overall the gym is an incredible value, especially since VIP members can bring guests for free. The only thing that could make the gym better would be free provided towels, though Im sure not having this keeps costs down, and some fans in the treadmill area.

Have been a member for a while now. Moving out of Mankato and went to cancel my account. That was fine. What isnt fine was that my wife will be charged her annual dues the month that she cancels. Of course, we already paid this years annual dues. The dues that are taking is for the year that we wont be there. Talked to the manager told me there was nothing they could do. Disappointed they couldnt help two members who are moving states and have to leave. Not like we are switching to a different gym in the area. We were talking about doing the XGT classes this summer. Guess since they want to take annual dues out right before we leave that wont be happening.

I have been a member going on 3 years! Have always had a greeting from the front desk with a smile (even at 5:30 am). The staff is friendly, very help willing to show you how to use a machine if you are unfamiliar with them. Always clean!!! (A +++) I signed up October 2015 with a trainer, Nate has been excellent to work with! Nate, Adam, and Cloe are always there to encourage me to keep pushing! Thank you Fitness for 10! Helping lose my weight, hit some goals and gain some Muscles! Have alot more work ahead, but wouldnt be where I am today with my weight loss with out your every day encouragement! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

Workout and equipment was great, however it comes at a price much greater than $10 a month. Signed up for a personal trainer and cancelled before I even had one session because I realized I couldnt afford it..I was charged a $500 cancellation fee that was written at the bottom of the back of my contract. My trainer had read aloud most of the contract to me but conveniently skipped that part. While I am to blame for trusting, I know tricking me was the objective. So I paid $500 for a piece of paper. Other unexplained charges were taken from my checking account as well more than once. Dont recommend it.

Im giving it 4 stars because I wish it was open on Fri. - Sun. nights. It is a good value for the money. I had a snafu with billing, but Chad, the manager, reimbursed me for the over-payments AND gave me a free year membership! There is a 2 week trial for group training sessions and they were awesome. There is something for everyone: free weights, machines, cardio machines, yoga classes, video on demand classes, stretching equipment, plyo boxes, med balls, Bosus, you name it. If you have a VIP membership, you can tan and get hydro-massages for free and also bring guests.

Fitness for $10 has a large variety of equipment to help vary my workouts. From weight machines, to free weights to cardio machines and other equipment such as the bands, boxes and Bosu balls create a challenging atmosphere to stop boredom from happening. The only challenge can be finding space to do box jumps, wall balls, etc due to the rooms having classes at peak times. Doing those things at 4:30-6p on some days isnt an option. The only option then ends up being is very early in the morning before the 5:30am class starts. So more space would be awesome.

Fitness for $10 is awesome! I have tried to for years to find an affordable way to work out since I was no longer a student. The gym is always really clean, the hydro massage is a great way to cool down, and give a little TLC to those sore areas after a work out. There is always access to machines, and adequate weights for what I need to do, and the staff are really friendly, and professional. I worked out there before I left on my last deployment, and came back to it when I got home, and the transition in and out was super easy! Thanks Fitness for $10!
