If you’re looking to get in shape, FitClub has got you covered. With three locations and long hours (The west branch is open 24 hours during the week.), FitClub is probably the most accessible health outfit in the city. They have the latest high-tech equipment, pools at two locations, and lots of the more traditional weights and exercise machines. FitClub goes by what they call the Four Pillars of Fitness: nutrition, exercise, supplements and coaching. Need motivation and guidance? They offer group exercise classes or their certified personal trainers work one-on-one to create custom workout plans. Of the 200-plus group exercise sessions they hold each week, there are classes on cycling, Pilates, core strengthening, weightlifting, cardio, conditioning, water aerobics and more. All ages are welcome, and they’ll work with any fitness level or ability. They even offer free child care while you’re working out. Voters lauded FitClub’s equipment, staff and prices. That’s probably why they’ve won this category for several years running. Runner-up: YMCA
