The Sporting Club at The Bellevue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

“I will do pros, cons and overall. Pros: Best gym in the city hands down. Gorgeous interior design (coming from an architect!) Top notch facilities. As a triathlete, I have access to ALL my training tools in at the gym. I love the pool. The pool and locker room facilities are, for the most part, very clean. Excellent classes, great instructors, and great offerings for group fitness. The weightlifting floor is great. A”

“Hands down the best gym in the city. Itu2019s more than a gym, with so many amenities such as basketball gym, golf simulators, pool, sauna, barbershop, cafe, rooftop lounges and more. The staff (especially Thea who gave us tours and helped with the sign up) is incredible. Fresh towels, clean, attentive and always saying good morning. Not sure where the negative reviews come from, never an issue with scheduling or getting”

“Update as of January 21, 2026: Since the new year, itu2019s been nearly impossible to register for my usual classes. I set alarms just to secure a spot, and within two minutes, everything is fully booked. Iu2019m paying $200 a month to play this game almost daily, and itu2019s become completely unproductive. I shouldnt have to be glued to my phone for this. The final straw was finding out that influencers get free memberships, d”

“Such a quality experience overall. People are nice and respectful, spaces are clean and inviting, and the atmosphere is welcoming and not stuffy at all. I can comfortably spend all day here working out, getting work done on the terrace, playing pickleball, reading in the library, grabbing lunch and getting a haircut at the barbershop. I just honestly love it here.”

“I signed up today and was greeted with the rudest encounter Iu2019ve ever had in a gym setting. I was fully prepared to sign up on the spot, I asked for a day pass first just to check out the gym. I was told they donu2019t do day passes. Ok no big deal I said Iu2019ll just sign up for a membership then. Some older lady with grey hair ran out of her office and said something along the lines of u201cmaybe your goals would be better su”

“We just booked a stay at The Bellevue Hotel and we were able to use The Sporting Club during our stay. The expansive facility is truly one of a kind! If you have the chance to check it out while staying at The Bellevue itu2019s a must do. I really love the indoor walking track, lap pool, and wide open spaces on the workout floor; It really doesnu2019t feel crowded which is amazing. All the staff are so friendly and Thea took”

“Joining the Sporting Club has been life changing for me! Itu2019s so much more than just a gym- the amenities really make this a great value- things like hot tub, cold plunge, sauna, rooftop deck, cafe, workspaces, etc. Also the sheer quantity and variety of classes means I can always find a class I want to do and fit it into my busy schedule. Iu2019ve been a member of many other gyms, and Iu2019ve never gone as consistently and”

“Itu2019s disappointing the sporting club closes so quickly during heavy snow falls. I understand member and employee safety is very important, but other gyms remain open. At the very least stay open for a portion of the day and apologize that there may be a reduced staff.”
