Personal trainer and gyms in West Chester/Newtown Square area (Drexel Hill: house, YMCA)

[Giles]

Hi,
I will be working in the Newtown Square area and living in West Chester, all along West Chester Pike.
Any recommendations for a good gym to join? I like spinning classes, so any place that has a lot of classes, both early morning and evening, would be ideal. I went to Gold's Gym in Broomall and the spinning bikes were good, but class offerings were slim. I don't care for the crowded, meat-market gyms, but if they offer good class times, I don't mind as much.
Also, I am looking for a good personal trainer. I have used the ones in Gold's, but they tend to be young and inexperienced. I am fine with going to an independent trainer/gym. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks very much.

There is a new Y being built on Paoli Pike that will likely have a lot of what you seek at a reasonable price. Also, not sure about spinning availability, but there's a nice, small private company gym called Elite Athletic Club at 1155 Phoenixville Pike

I know West Chester also has a YMCA...as does Berwyn...

Try Ellis Athletic Center in Newtown Square. I have been a member there for two years. The classes are great. It's a little gem of Newtown Square. Ellis Athletic Center - Full service fitness center and gym in Newtown Square
