The Fitness Factory 512 Warren Avenue, Portland, ME 04103

"I went here for years. Most of the time it was good but in the end they continued to charge my account after I left despite giving them 2 months notice. I tried to speak with management and they wouldn’t even respond. Good gym with some shady practices."

"A lot a free weights and ample equipment even when busy. The staff is also very friendly."

"Best gym I have ever been to. Recently renovated. Men's locker room is getting better but still makes me gag. Otherwise, great atmosphere, very welcoming and helpful."

"This gym is great! The price is very cheap and you get a great amount of equipment to use. It never seems to be too busy no matter when I go. They have a large variety of different and specialty barbells to choose from, plenty of squat racks, and plenty of room to deadlift. There are plenty of dumbell benches, and the dumbells go up to the 150s. Plus, there are a set of 195 lbs dumbells. With plenty of great free weights, machines, and cardio equipment, this gym would be great for most people's fitness goals!"

"Tried it after Life Styles Gym went out of business on Warren Avenue in Portland. Best gym -in my opinion. When I tried it, it just did not. have that Life Style personal touch. They did put in new Equipment at some point which was nice. The TVs are NOT on the individual machines so hard to enjoy. The classes which I loved, and the main reason I went to the gym, have been eliminated. I went to them at 5 am before working full time... now they are no more. Very sad about that. Overall I guess I would give it an average score since it does not meet everyones needs; since the day care has been eliminated and the classes have been eliminated. The prices are not cheap like planet fitness either, you would think with no classes or day care care, they would be able to lower the prices. The gym is near where I live, so if they did do classes again, I would reconsider."
