Yelp.com Review - by Rick B.

5.0 of 5 stars. I used to live 2 blocks from this gym and loved it. It's kept pristinely clean out on the floor and in the locker rooms and rest rooms. Urban has a small army of trainers of all different types...

Everything you need in a gym

When I go to a gym, I'm looking for two things, appropriate, quality equipment, and a clean, inviting environment. Urban Body provides both. This is a neighborhood gym, not a massive, flashy gym. If you need...

You can do much better elsewhere

For a gym that charges about $500 a year for a membership, UBF is sorely lacking in amenites - basically offering a few racks of weights, a few wellworn machines, the usual handful of tired classes , limited...

Still in the dark ages

I can't believe the male dominated attitude that exists at this gym! If you are a guy you get all kinds of attention but for the female customers you can forget it. Totally sexist.
