You belong needs to go since they took out the 30 minute space to put other equipment. They no longer care about us older folks. We no longer belong, it’s a money making gym. Half of the Heaver equipment put in isn’t even used , too many of the same.
They don’t care if we BELONG.

This place has a lot of machines ad weights and plenty of space to work out.
Bur the owner and clientele are less than desirable. It's supposed to be a "non-judgemt" place, but it is NOT!
When I was in the locker room after getting in my work out gear, 3 guys came in and one guy took his shirt off, another got on his knees and I thought to myself this is so weird. Why would they do that.
Another day some guy was obviously mistreating in a stall, making noises. I'm thinking, why do that in here?
Then the owner, Jack, said I wasn't welcome at his place.
Thank God
It made me uncomfortable just being in there.
If I could put zero stars,I would.
The lowest is one.
This place is strictly for creepers only.
Beware of this place
Before the pandemic i used to go to Blue Bell and Norristown and it was NOT like Jenkintown
I'm a Christian so I won't say exactly what I'm thinking.

I have been a member of this gym for many years and have previously given the Jenkintown PF glowing reviews, but recently after returning from being away for some months I have discovered that many things about this gym that I used to enjoy have changed. The new, young manager is polite and friendly but seems to have no clue about how to manage a club this size. Many of the elliptical machines have been eliminated and the six machines that remain are so close together that you are touching elbows with person next to you. Other aerobic machines are positioned the same way. It isn't that there isn't room to separate the machines, apparently, it is their perverse way of preventing lawsuits. Half of the second floor space remains vacant and unused. I can't wait until the winter when viruses are running rampant and I can catch the flu from someone who is exercising next to me. Really?
The other issue I have is with the HVAC system. This is a closed environment building that depends on this system to provide fresh air. Aerobic activity requires heavy and strong breathing to be effective, and when the gym is occupied by many members at one time, the CO2 level in the building rises dramatically. I have found on many occasions that half of the units that provide ventilation in this building are not operating according to the readings on the thermostats. This is a large building and it requires 8 zones to properly condition the air. It seems that the management is deliberately disabling 3 or 4 of these zone units to possibly save money on their electric bill. Why else would these units be chronically not in operation? Perhaps they guess that the large ceiling fans will make up for the very expensive operation of the proper cooling and ventilation equipment. It doesn't.
Other than those main issues there is little more to say. Choose this gym if you think breathing in foul and recirculated used air is good for you.

I used to love this location. The recent equipment “additions” and layout changes leave a lot to be desired. The weight machines are laid out in a manner that leaves you wandering around aimlessly searching for the next part of your workout. There’s also less of the popular weight machines so you have to wait longer or stalk people to get your workout in. The removal of so much equipment has also left the area feeling empty and gives the impression that they’re struggling to stay in business. This location needs to radically rethink the equipment layout so it’s intuitive and actually have the equipment most people use.

They just removed half the machines. The gym is not crowded on a Monday morning but there are no machines available. Im considering changing because this is ridiculous the down size.
