GBVent Switching to Vent from Planet Fitness was a great choice for me personally as the gym seems more focused on serious fitness-minded individuals. This is motivational if anything. I don’t consider myself a gym rat by any stretch, but working out (primarily weight training) in a gym with a catered selection of machines, benches, dumbells, and free weights, accompanied by serious weight lifters, is a good atmosphere to promote more desire to progress. I like that all four locations do not have the exact same equipment. It switches up the atmosphere if there is a certain machine at Latham that Clifton Park doesn’t have for the day you do shoulders (just an example). The staff is relatively friendly and the facilities are sufficient. Some machines, like the cables at Clifton Park, could use some attention (minor repairs, tune ups, etc). The cardio equipment at Latham is a bit outdated. Some of the hammer strength machines have awkward positioning, (i.e. seated military press) but that is likely an individual preference on my part. Overall, I am more than pleased that I joined Vent.

GBSolid larger gym experience Easy going great place to work out. Even when there are a lot of bodies in the gym, it's easy to get to weights and equipment. I wish this (Latham) branch offered all of the available amenities that some other branches have and also would like to see another water fountain or bottle fill station somewhere on the floor

GBAmazing!! From day one, my experience at Vent was nothing but positive all around. Front desk staff, trainers and even members have been so outgoing and friendly. I just tried a small class size, and there was definitely a learning curve. I was not made to feel like an outsider or inconvenience for not knowing the steps. Both aember and a trainer went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. I’m so grateful for this chance to reinvent myself.

GBGreat place! I am really happy with vent. As a busy mom, they have everything I need to get in and out. The only reason I give them 4 stars instead of 5 is because I wish they allowed their level 1 members to participate in their other services (for higher level members) on an ala carte basis. But otherwise, clean, plenty of machines, well maintained, and great technology choices with their cardio equipment.

GBEverything rocks...except the new Vent app I generally enjoy my membership at Vent. I love the vibe and all the amenities you get with the $30 Level 2. My PT, Ian, is a fantastic trainer. He's supportive, motivating, and truly invested in your general health and wellbeing. My only gripe is the new Vent app. You used to get points to spend on shakes or merch, or even training sessions on the old app. It connected to my Fitbit and tracked workouts in the app, and you could record workouts on cardio equipment at the gym. The new app does not connect to any devices besides the Vent heart monitor that you have to buy and wear every time you workout to track progress and get points. It's the horrible kind that you have to strap across your chest and is terribly uncomfortable when you are doing floor exercises. It's disappointing to be forced to be uncomfortable in order to track your fitness progress. I really hope Vent app developers hear this from more than just one member and consider adding the option to connect other devices, as the old app allowed. If they did that, I'd be 100% happy with Vent.
