Revive Fitness

Owners Amie Adcock and Robert Jones abruptly closed without emailing an explanation to their clients. Amie outright lied to me about the future of Revive. Robert said he’d contact me and never did. Some clients paid in advance and deserve answers. We get it– they didn’t market their business well and separate themselves from the fitness pack, so they ran out of money and folded. That doesn’t excuse them from showing respect to people to whom they owe money and answers.

So I tried to hold off on this since I really really liked this studio; however, Revive has apparently fallen off of the grid with absolutely no information provided to any of us who currently hold class packages there.
Over 4^th of July weekend, a bunch of classes were canceled. It annoyed me, but I can handle the idea that people are on vacation. We were promised an email explaining the situation but never received one. It would have been more professional to give advance notice to your customers, however.
Then, about two weeks ago, I went to sign up on their online scheduler and no classes were scheduled at all. I posted something on their facebook page, sent an email, and received no response. According to other facebook posts, the phone had been disconnected. Sometime about a WEEK later, one of the co-​owners posted something about apologizing saying it was «out of her hands» and again promising an explanatory email. It never came. (Do you see a pattern here?)
These owners took over the space of another studio, where they both worked, that did exactly the same thing — disappeared, took people’s money, and never explained anything. There was some serious bad talking about the other studio when Revive opened, and I’m super disappointed to see them doing the same thing. There is no excuse not to send out an email saying that «at the end of the month/​week, revive has to close it’s doors.»

I found Revive Fitness on Unilocal and am so happy to have found this little gem!
I travel to Philadelphia frequently on business and was seeking somewhere to work out in the area. The class offerings at Revive piqued my interest, so I attended a class taught by Robert.
The class was awesome! It had the perfect amount of people (not too crowded like some other gyms that pack people into every available square inch), Robert was an amazing instructor, and everyone else in the class was super warm and inviting to the newbie in the room.
Robert thoughtfully presented multiple variations for each movement to accommodate all ranges of abilities — from me in my first class to the people who were obviously veterans. He was great at leading and paced the class perfectly.
I will definitely be back! Thanks Robert!

Finally made it to my first Revive Fitness Class. This new studio is in the same spot as the now defunct VersaFit, but has new owners and a new layout. I knew I had to check this place out because of Amie. I was addicted to her spin and sculpt classes at Versa, and she has brought them back again. Not a huge fan of the bikes they brought in, but still got a great work out. Unlike my experiences at another gym recently, I know Amie will be there when she says she will be. She’s also a great person to talk to about nutrition, and personal training. Really glad I can get back into my Tuesday/​Thursday morning work out routine!
