User Reviews of Zum

Yelp.com Review - by J C.

2.0 of 5 stars. Having seen and trained at other gyms, I'd have to lower my star rating. Zum simply has outdated machines and the space is too small. The staff is nice, but I am not sure that is worth over $160/month...

Yelp.com Review - by Crystal L.

4.0 of 5 stars. Lauren found my earring! I'm a member of Zum, and I lost my earring in the locker room a couple months ago. I saw it roll under the lockers, so I was sure I lost it there. I went to the front desk...

Kym Beldon at Zum is a miracle worker!

I've gone to Zum now for almost 4 years. I've trained with several of the trainers there -- all were excellent. But none that I've worked with was as amazing as Kym Beldon. Kym knows how the body works better...

5.0 of 5 stars. I just completed my free week pass at ZUM and was completely satisfied, but just couldn't fork out the $150 a month. I was in it for the classes which were all AMAZING. Saturday morning I went to 3...

5.0 of 5 stars. Zum is fantastic. This is a high end gym without the high end attitude. Staff and clients alike are laid back and happy. Some clients are serious athletes (like olympics serious), most are not. I...

Down to earth people who care about your health-NOT snobby or pretentious

I love Zum. I was intimidated to go at first. It was so nice looking that I thought that it meant snobby and pretentious, but I was COMPLETELY wrong. I have never been at a gym where everyone was so nice and...

You Get What You Pay For

I notice that most of the negative reviews are from people who haven't actually worked out at ZUM. Hmmm. ZUM ain't cheap, especially if you're comparing the costs of monthly membership to places like Bally's,...

FOR YUPPIES ONLY

I found Zum to be chic and phony, well suited to yuppies instead of regular folks. They are extremely expensive and seem to care more about the money than the people. Their staff is kind of weird, to say the...

I love the facility, staff and members at ZUM. Really different and better than mass-market clubs.

ZUM is an amazing place. I've been around it since the beginning, and it just keeps improving.The facility is compact, but the space is used well. It's been decorated by a high-end interior designer, so it...

Zum's not the coolest, but it's cool.

The club makes an obvious effort to be cool, and it sort of is. It's a small space, but they somehow cram a lot of gym in there. Full free weight setup, although I was all alone and in someone's way...
