  I have been an active member of RI based gyms for 15 years and was an instructor at three gyms during my early 20s. I have never experienced a management team as unprofessional as YouFit North Providence. In November 2023 I paid in full for a one year membership. After the contract ended, I visited the gym periodically with a friend’s guest pass. During a visit in October 2025 YouFit front desk staff explained that my membership was automatically re-enrolled in 11/2024 and asked for payment. After clarifying that my contract was for o my a year, they confirmed that ownership and the policy had changed within the year of my 11/2023-11/2024 contract and more recent contracts (not mine) now automatically re-enrolled. They provided a number to the membership management company YouFit outsourced to, ABCFinancial, but told me my membership renewal was an error and they would speak with management about correcting the fees charged past 11/2024. In November 2025 I received contact from ABCFinancial asking for payment of 11/2024-11/2025. I again explained the misunderstanding and requested a copy of my original contract to verify the explanation. In December 2025 ABCFinancial contacted me again asking for payment of 11/2024-11/2025 and 11/2025-11/2026. They explain that they do not have a record of my request to cancel my membership in 10/2025 so I would now be responsible for 11/2025-11/2026. I then received a copy of what they stated was my original contract. Though it did not have my signature or date of when it was originated. It is now April 2026, management at YouFit gym refuses to cancel my membership which will now re-enroll on 11/2026, they will not accept or return my calls, I have not received a copy of my original contract with my signature, yet I am receiving daily calls from debt collectors. After this post I will be reporting YouFit to the Better Business Bureau. Long story short, I discourage anyone from enrolling in a membership with YouFit North Providence because of how truly illogical this process has been and the impact YouFit’s poor management can have on a member’s financial credit. It is an inexpensive membership, but not if you are refused the option to cancel.

  Cory at the front is the best ever! Will always make you feel welcomed when you walk in and leave. The gym atmosphere is 10/10 and all the workers are amazing. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

  As a retired ,inactive male since COVID I stopped in to the North Providence location to check it out. Never having been to a gym before I was nervous. The first people I met were Andrew and John. They listened to my concerns, then did an assessment to gauge my abilities. Since then I’ve worked with John and are impressed with his professionalism, knowledge, and personality. I’m doing things now unthinkable before. All of the staff are excellent. Shannon, AJ, and all make me feel welcome. Thank you to all for your dedication.💪💪👍

  I absolutely love YouFit – North Providence! This gym genuinely feels like a community, and the people are the best part. Everyone is welcoming, encouraging, and it’s the kind of place where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are. My personal trainer, AJ Vieira, has been a complete game changer for me. With his help I’ve been able to build muscle and lose over 50 pounds, and I’m stronger and more confident than I’ve ever been. What I appreciate most is that AJ truly listens. I have a disability and some days come with real limitations, but AJ always meets me where I am. He adjusts my workouts based on how I’m feeling and what I’m able to do that day, without judgment or pressure, just support and smart modifications that keep me moving forward safely. I also want to shout out the general manager, Shannon. She leads by example in the best way. I’ve literally seen her shoveling snow out of the handicapped parking spaces, cleaning up messes, and running the vacuum when it’s needed. She clearly cares about the members and the gym, and it shows. If you’ve been hesitant to work with a trainer because of a disability (or because you’re not feeling 100%), I can’t recommend AJ enough. He will listen to you, respect your limits, and still help you do your best. I highly recommend this location!

  It’s easy to reduce gyms to simple metrics like cleanliness, availability of the equipment, etc. I’ve worked out in gyms in Boston and New York City and in these respects, most competent gyms are basically the same. YouFit North Providence sets itself apart in a few ways: community, customer service, and training expertise. The community that goes to this gym is tight-knit. The vast majority are regulars who are eager to welcome others into the fold, which is actually really rare. People want to help each other, but don't encroach on one another; people want to spark conversation, but don't force interaction. The clientele is a wide array of shapes, sizes, ages, and backgrounds, so truly no one is out of place. The community is reinforced by the friendliness and helpfulness of the team members on staff. The staff members are caring and positive without being fake. Shannon, the general manager, has been spotted cleaning up water during a plumbing mishap or shoveling piles of snow off of handicap parking spaces. Members of the front desk staff and trainers have been seen helping clients with mobility issues get from their cars into the gym to work out. The most important piece for me, personally, is the training expertise. I work with a personal trainer, AJ Viera, who has over 20 years of experience in training lifters of all ability levels. I was afraid to get a personal trainer before, having been a distance runner for so many years and embarrassed that I didn’t really know some basic techniques. AJ made me feel at home in strength training, helped deprogram me from all the YouTube fitness influencer nonsense, and coached me as I recovered from a long standing QL/Core/Glute asymmetry issue. When I faced flares during my recovery, AJ was there to let me know I wasn’t fragile or broken, that I was going to recover and get back to intensity. He modified programs while I worked on PT, put safety and my recovery first, and made me feel like I was still an athlete even when I felt like I was down and out. I’ve looked around at other gyms in the area and sure, they all have great equipment, convenient hours, and helpful staff, but in my experience, it’s rare to have a confluence of a community, caring staff, and a set of really knowledgeable trainers under one roof like they have at YouFit.
