Big Sky has changed my entire lifestyle and mindset. The staff are always helpful, respectful and go out of their way to make your gym session even better, whether it stocking the equipment or cleaning supplies or making delicious pre/post shakes. Working with my trainer Tiffany has made me look forward to coming to the gym!

Big Sky is hands down the best gym in CT. It’s always well-maintained, has great equipment, and the staff are super helpful and friendly. Eric and DeRon have both been amazing resources. Vinny at the front desk always has a positive attitude, and is happy to help with any questions!

A truly incredible gym run by people with great energy and a passion for fitness. Go and see Johnny for a refreshing protein shake after your workout. This is a great gym to begin, maintain or enhance your own fitness journey, and people are there to motivate you throughout your way. Great place.

Been coming here since I was 13 years old and 5 years later it hasn’t changed. It is hands down the best gym in the Hartford county for students that are looking for a focused and supportive environment!

I have been a member of Big Sky for nearly 15 years. This gym is far better than others all around with its size and variety of equipment for whatever your fitness goals may be. 10/10 recommend!

Amazing facility with plenty of options of cardio equipment, free weights and machines. The trainers here are friendly and eager to help anyone willing to learn. After your workout the shake bar is a great option to get my protein in. The worker behind the counter “Elizer” made a great shake and we had a great conversation. If I could rate it higher than 5 stars I would, 100% recommend.

I’ve been coming to Big Sky in New Britain for a while now, and it’s easily one of the best gyms in the area. The facility is always clean, the equipment is well-maintained, and there’s a ton of variety when it comes to equipment availability. The staff is friendly, big shout out to Holden, Liam and Julian. The environment is super welcoming whether you’re a beginner or a gym regular. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re looking for a solid place to work out!

I’ve been here for about a month now and this has been the best gym I’ve ever been in hands down! The staff is incredibly helpful and pleasant-and create such a wonderful atmosphere to be in. I started training with Ryan pretty much as soon as I signed up, and he is just amazing. He’s been insanely helpful in my weight loss journey and is incredibly knowledgeable in what he does. His group sessions are always motivating, and I never feel like I am behind or looked over as I have felt in other places. I recommend all of my friends to go here, and can’t wait to make new ones that are already here! Plus-the shakes are the best.

I enjoy going to Big Sky (I’m kind of hard to appease, lol). First, the gym is extremely clean, and I love that there are gentle reminders posted all over the gym to remind everyone to clean the machines after using them. Next, the staff are extremely polite and courteous.There is always someone that greets you as you walk through the door. The atmosphere of the gym is warm and welcoming, and coming from someone whose job entails creating and maintaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere, Big Sky definitely accomplishes this goal. The prices for the membership and the personal training are unbeatable, and the location is great.
Now let’s discuss what sets Big Sky apart from the rest of the gyms. My trainer is ERIC! Eric is the epitome of what it means to truly support and inspire others. Eric is thoughtful, professional, courteous , encouraging, and empathetic. Eric doesn’t just care about “losing weight”; he genuinely cares about your overall health and works cohesively with you to help you achieve your goals. Since working with Eric, not only have I lost weight and gotten stronger, but my doctor also told me she’s proud of my results. Eric also helps me with maintaining a realistic and balanced diet. Additionally, what I appreciate about Eric is he is culturally aware and it is evident that he engages in cultural humility. With that being said, if you’re looking for a gym, give Big Sky a try. They really stand by their credo of aiming to empower individuals through diverse avenues to help them with achieving more than fitness goals.

As someone who travels and tries different gyms, Big Sky is a good gym to visit. They have a decent amount of workout equipment and after your workout you can go to the desk and buy a protein shake. The staff is real nice and has been very helpful.

Big Sky Vernon is the place to go! The front desk staff is exceptionally friendly and willing to help out with any problem I may have either with my membership or scheduling appointments with a personal trainer. The gym is very clean and up to my standards!

I recently joined Big Sky in Vernon, I’ve been doing a spin class for about 10 years, since joining Big Sky I’ve been doing Bryan’s spinning class, Tuesday, Thursday 6:15am , I’ve never had a better instructor! Your not only working your lower body he incorporates the upper body in a fun way, and let me tell you, you’ll feel it! So if you spin you’ve got to try Bryan’s class, you won’t regret it! Shout out to Jamie at the front desk who represents Big Sky with a smile, thanks to both of you.
Matt E. from Coventry

I can’t say enough great things about Big Sky Gym in Vernon! From the moment you walk in, it’s clear this place is something special. The atmosphere is positive, clean, and motivating—exactly what you want when working toward your fitness goals.
A huge shoutout to my personal trainer Brett, who has been instrumental in helping me stay focused and consistent. Thanks to his guidance, expertise, and encouragement, I’ve lost 40 lbs and feel better than ever. He genuinely cares and pushes you to be your best.
Angela is truly the star of the show. She’s there bright and early making sure everything is spotless and ready to go before the doors open, and her protein shakes are seriously the best—perfect post-workout fuel!
Also, a special thanks to Bella and Kelli, the morning trainers who always greet you with a smile and bring such a great energy to the gym. They’re friendly, helpful, and make early morning workouts something to look forward to.
If you’re looking for a supportive, high-quality gym with an amazing team, Big Sky Vernon is it. Highly recommend!

Besides this facility being clean, incredibly spacious and well maintained, it’s also run by competent people who truly care about their members and their satisfaction at the gym. The staff are friendly and always willing to help. I appreciate the variety of classes available from yoga, cycling, body pump, zumba, group synergy, HIIT, strength training, cardio kickboxing, step, and they even offer classes that teach you to defend yourself. The equipment is modern and well kept and their smoothie and shake bar has so many options. Just overall a great atmosphere.

I haven’t joined a gym since Planet Fitness about 10 years ago. Since then, I was on my own wellness journey, figuring out how to eat and workout best for my body. I finally felt ready to really get going in January 2025 and joined Big Sky. I took some group training classes with Tiffany and never looked back! Tiffany is an incredible trainer, resource, and human and knows how to tailor and modify workouts for each person. I also love the class aspect at Big Sky – unlimited classes on the middle tier takes away any excuses for not exercising! Such a great community and I would recommend to anyone.
Keira W. from Tariffville

Big Sky’s the best gym I’ve been to by a long shot!
Bella was my trainer for over a year and she was not only knowledgable but she always pushes you to go for your best. (Can’t recomend her enough! She’s kick ass) They will guide you on nutrition and stregnth/flexibility/body weight goals.
In regards to equipment there is a ton of variety and if you look around the corner you can always find a free rack or treadmill.
There’s a great culture and lots of friendly members, but if you like to keep to yourself you won’t be pestered either.
They have a juice bar with creatine blends for both pre/post workout.
The calendar is full of events, and they offer a choice of classes on different fitness focuses as well as self defense courses.

I’ve been going to the gym for about two months now, and I can honestly say it’s amazing. The service is excellent, the staff is wonderful, and there’s a fantastic range of machines available. I highly recommend it!
Kate D. from West Hartford
March 2025
I’ve been a member of several gyms in my time, but Big Sky in Simsbury stands out in a great way. It’s clear that the staff takes great pride in maintaining a clean and friendly environment. Also, the cost of the membership is well below what I’ve paid for lesser gyms in the past. So it’s a great value for a great price!
I do have to mention, though, if you’re coming in during peak hours, be prepared for a bit of a tight squeeze in the parking lot. It’s really the only downside I’ve noticed.
Overall, my experience at Big Sky Gym has been nothing short of fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone in the local area.
Kris Anne K. from Simsbury

I signed up for training sessions with Natasha approximately 3 months ago. Her approach has aligned in the best way possible with my strengths and weaknesses. She takes the time to listen and modify my workouts to ensure I get the most out of them without hurting myself (I have a bad knee). It is amazing to me how much of a difference that “minor” corrections in form can make on progress (she has a keen eye and misses nothing! even in a group setting). Constructive and supportive without over correcting. The entire process has been extremely beneficial. If you are committed to the process, Natasha will be just as committed.
Jonathan V. from Avon

Awesome gym, close to both home and work. Clean and a really friendly gym. I started my journey back in October and I have no regrets. I signed up with a trainer in January and not only do I feel good I’m starting to look good as well. Would recommend this gym and this location.

I’ve been coming to Big Sky for a couple years, It’s a very good, clean gym. It’s busy at times but that’s because it’s good gym.
I was having trouble gaining muscle. I reached out to Bella, a personal trainer at Big Sky. She has been so good for me. She takes her time, explains what an exercise is designed to do. She’s always available when I have questions. I have back issues so Bella knew solid exercises to help me. I’m now 50, I have abs, I’m at 12% body fat and stronger than ever. If you need a gym and/or a trainer, see Bella and Big Sky. You wont regret it.

I don’t even have a membership at Big Sky New Britain, but I literally drive there just for their shakes (they’re that good, especially the peanut butter dream one.) Hands down the best protein shakes I’ve had anywhere. They’re always made fresh, taste amazing, and have the perfect consistency. On top of that, the customer service is top-notch. The staff is super friendly and always welcoming, even though I’m just there for the shakes. If you’re in the area, it’s 100% worth stopping by!
Shaday M. from Vernon

Eli’s smoothies are nothing short of amazing, blending fresh, high-quality ingredients into vibrant and flavorful creations. Each sip is a perfect balance of natural sweetness and refreshing taste, making them a go-to treat for anyone seeking a healthy yet indulgent option. Whether you’re craving a classic berry mix or a tropical escape with mango and pineapple, Eli’s combinations never disappoint. The creamy texture and bold flavors make every smoothie feel like a handcrafted masterpiece, leaving you energized and satisfied. Eli’s dedication to using wholesome ingredients truly sets these smoothies apart

Big Sky is truly the best! The staff are always so kind and amazing—special shoutout to Eli, Danny, and Ellie for going above and beyond. While I occasionally visit the Vernon location, which is also nice, the Simsbury gym has an unmatched atmosphere that makes every visit so much better..

I’m so happy I made the switch and started going to Big Sky! My workouts used to be repetitive, but the environment and equipment at Big Sky has completely changed that! Elizer is just one of the employees that is welcoming, brings a positive energy, and genuinely cares about his gym goers. I always look forward to seeing him working front desk! 🙂

Big Sky is a fantastic gym to go to. It’s very diverse and welcoming. And I wouldn’t have started working out again if it wasn’t for Danny M. Seeing him work out and being friends with him for so long made me realize that if he can do it and change his health for the better, than who better than a friend to get me back into the gym.

I never would have thought of myself as a gym rat, but now after 9 years of going to Big Sky almost daily, I guess I am. I look forward to the warm smile and greeting I get every morning from staff and my neighbors – it has almost become like a town square for me. Whenever I have had a concern the managers have been quick to address it. Most importantly for me though, it is a quiet place where I can go focus on my health, wellness and fitness. When I started at Big Sky, I had barely exercised in more than 20 years, weighed a good solid 40 lbs more than I do now, and was in pretty poor health. I am so much stronger now. The team at Big Sky welcomed me and helped me make that possible.

I’ve been going to Big Sky for around 4 years now. I can’t say enough positive things about this place. The members, the staff, the atmosphere and fellow members. Everyone here truly wants to see you progress, which is an awesome feeling while you’re in the gym! I remember when I first came in Angela helped me and I signed up later on that month. Every time I come into the gym she’s always a friendly face to see and has a positive attitude. I’ve also been working with one of the coaches, Noah Shaw. Noah and I have made unbelievable progress on my fitness goals and I have truly been able to level up with his guidance. I strongly encourage anyone who is looking for a place to workout or a center to better themselves at to give Big Sky a try! You will not regret it!!

Hifza S. from New Britain
September 2024
I have been going to the gym for a year and am really enjoying it! The staff is so welcoming and will help you if you have any questions. Also, the rest of the people who come in to workout make sure to clean their area before leaving which I appreciate. I recommend this gym to everyone — beginners or pros!
Meghan V. from Farmington
September 2024
Big Sky in Farmington is hands-down the best gym and tennis center in the area! The all-encompassing tennis program, featuring six indoor courts and a plethora of lesson options, is the main reason I just upgraded my membership. My favorite pros Marshal, Rachel, and Nick are exceptional – they’re deeply invested in their players and take the time to teach the fundamentals and nurture our skills.
Aside from the tennis program, the amenities are extensive and up-to-date. Big Sky really offers so much with indoor and outdoor pools, a wide range of group fitness and spinning classes, and a kid’s club that includes childcare, tennis programming, swim lessons, and even a summer camp. You have all the cardio and strength equipment you would expect at any fitness center, and the space is so massive that it rarely feels crowded. I also love the newly renovated lobby, complete with super friendly staff members and a shake bar with tables and tvs where you can hang out and watch tennis or catch the news.
There’s a reason Big Sky has been voted the number one gym in the area—it’s a unique spot and we’re lucky to have it right here in Farmington!
Louis F. from Southington
September 2024
Big Sky Fitness is awesome. Especially, Trainer Jesse. He helped me get my life back on track after multiple injuries and surgeries. I feel better than I have in many years. The gym, staff, and facilities are all the best. I moved from Ct. and am nervous I’ll never find a spot as good at BSF again!
Kimberly L. from Farmington

Love it here! Especially amidst the renovations in the Farmington location, the facilities are beautiful. The gym space is open, and the equipment is always in great condition. The staff and trainers are all so kind and friendly. I’ve been an avid big sky supporter for almost 3 years now!!!

I have been to so many other gyms in the central Connecticut area and none of them compare to this gym. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and I find it’s not as crowded and overwhelming as the other gyms. I don’t have to wait too long for machines even when I go during peak hours.

I’ve been going to the gym for nearly 5 years now and I’ve always been impressed by the customer service the gym trainers and employees have shown me. The gym has all the necessary equipment and has a wonderful culture. Would strongly recommend this gym to anyone who wants to workout!
Elizabeth K. from Farmington
August 2024
I have been going to Big Sky now for 4 years on and off while I was home from college during winter and summer breaks. I recently moved to California and I miss Big Sky so much! Not only is it a very well-equipped gym with all the machines, free weights, and cardio equipment needed for a good training session but the gym culture just does not compare to any other gym I have been too. I was there at 5:45am nearly everyday this past summer and while I usually kept to myself I still felt such a sense of support being surrounded by other early gym goers and it was very motivating. The first words I spoke everyday were a good morning to the person at the front desk and it always set my day off right. The gym culture here makes you excited and want to go to the gym even on the days when you don’t think you have it in you. Also a big thank you to the front desk staff and the staff who keeps the celsius and barebell selection top notch. Nearly everyday did I walk out with one or the other or both. Also thank you for having my favorite flavor peach raspberry because they are so hard to find. So, thank you Big Sky for being my second home whenever I was in CT. Counting down the days till I can come back for a quick workout, whenever that may be! 🙂
Amber H. from South Windsor

Big Sky Newington is by far the best gym I have ever joined. The entire staff is very polite and friendly every time. It is kept clean at all times and they have all sorts of different weights and machines for no matter what kind of workout you are looking for.

I love this gym. Have been a member for 20+ years. I have joined other gyms but never cancelled big sky; dabbled in CrossFit for a few years, picked up a gym with a pool closer than the nearest big sky pool… but through all that, all 20+ years of my fitness life, Big Sky has been my home base. They have the best weights, strike a perfect balance between accessible to everyone but welcoming to serious lifters… Want to do oly lifts with bumper plates? Go for it. Want to just walk on a treadmill no problem. Going for a 405 bench PR? Someone will be happy to spot you. Great community, great locations, great home base gym.
Sage D. from Newington

I’ve been going here since 2018 and they really have it all. You get everyone from college students to parents to older folks coming to do a variety of workouts, so there’s no intimidation or exclusivity. When I started I took advantage of their free group classes, which really helped me get to the gym multiple times a week. The classes can go from cardio to bootcamp style to strength or yoga/flexibility. A few years ago I started working with their personal trainers and they all brought interesting, fun workouts to the table. I worked out my entire pregnancy last year and I’m convinced that the catered workouts I was doing helped with the delivery and recovery period. Plus their front desk associates are friendly/attentive, and the shakes they make are amazing!
Chelse’ T. from New Britain

Big Sky has awesome facilities to train throughout CT! The staff at the Vernon location create a friendly yet supportive environment to achieve all your health goals!

You won’t be disappointed, check out Big Sky.

Cynthia E. from Farmington

Love Big Sky Farmington. It’s been five years now that I’ve been going to this gym. It’s become my home away from home. This location is very spacious and has all of the equipment I need and want to get a full body workout involving weights and cardio.
More than that, the staff and members are simply great people. When you spend enough time there, you become part of a very special family. We lookout for one another, motivate each other. I’ll never go anywhere else. Lastly the fees are far more affordable than most other gyms in the area.
Joseph G. from Windsor Locks

Dope experience. Staff are really nice, and on top of all that, if you have any issue with payments, they’re super understanding and help you figure it out. 100% recommend it if you’re in the Hartford area.

Writing a review for Mike and the ‘Defend Yourself Training’ offered here. Mike is great, the work is practical and fun and he’s an incredibly (!!) knowledgable instructor. As someone who tends to strongly prefer being on their own in the gym, Mike’s knowledge, evolving workouts and personable nature have made a huge difference for my enjoyment of a training-style environment.
I would be remiss if I didn’t say, I honestly didn’t want to like this as much as I did. I have had my workout routine for a while and prefer to be in that routine. Working with Mike has me learning a ton, getting a great workout, and is a wonderful change of pace to work into my lifting plan. Mike has, hands down, been the best part about switching to Big Sky from my old gym.
Hanna P. from Barkhamsted
March 2024
I’ve been a member for several years now and it is hands down the best fitness community in the area! Besides the great range of facilities and equipment, it’s just an awesome space to be in. Everyone who works at Big Sky is always kind, supportive and encouraging.
I can’t say enough good things about their personal trainers! Sarah is an amazing trainer who is not only professional and super knowledgeable but also an incredible human being! She takes the time to understand you specific goals and needs, and personalizes the workout plan based on your unique abilities and preferences. And her positive attitude and ongoing support makes even the toughest workout enjoyable.
Overall, this is a great place to be a part of!

She broke down everything and was really knowledgeable on the different packages that were provided. I’ve been committed going to the gym as much as I can throughout the week ever since I’ve committed to go on the journey of self-improvement. I feel like it has been changing my life for the better and I am appreciative. Big sky has a really friendly environment with a great staff !!

This gym is great. I started coming here back in September 2023, and have totally loved it. The gym itself is clean, well-maintained, has plenty of room for everyone, and more than enough equipment. There are treadmills and bikes on the main floor, with extra up in auxiliary rooms. I mostly use the turf area for free weight and strength training. It’s never been overly crowded, and people are positive to one another. There are tons of weights, kettlebells, etc.
The staff is super friendly. I’ve talked with the trainers on the turf and they’ve always been encouraging, even though I’m not a client. Sydney at the front desk is incredibly upbeat, which is no small task at 5:30 in the morning! We appreciate her remembering our names whenever we walk in.
The price is also unbeatable. I highly recommend this gym – one of the best!

I LOVE Big Sky in Farmington. Having worked in a gym before, I know how hard it can be to maintain a clean and organized environment and Big Sky does that so well. The staff are incredibly friendly, especially Sydney at the front desk. Even at 5 a.m., she has a smile and a kind, welcoming word for everyone. My husband and I joined about 6 months ago and we’ve never looked back. Big Sky rocks!

Syd is the first thing I see when I come to Big Sky in the morning, greeting me always with the best smile and hello’s.

I have to say, out of all the gyms I’ve been to… Big Sky is without a doubt the best out of all of them. Better than The Edge, better than LA and Esporta. The gym community is vibrant and you don’t have to worry about waiting years for machines because of tiktokers. The staff makes it very pleasant at the shake bar, one of them being Caroline. She is very friendly, will you greet with a great smile! 5/5 stars!

Jennifer S. from Southington

This gym is fantastic for so many reasons, as people have posted. Great staff, the environment is extremely supportive and friendly, but mostly the reason for my review today is because of Cary, my trainer. Cary is thorough, pays attention to every detail, and consistently communicates with her clients and offers such helpful feedback during sessions and outside of sessions. Cary is passionate about what she does and works hard to help people succeed with whatever goals they set. And she is always ready to help clients in whatever ways they need. Working with Cary over the past couple of years has been one of the best decisions in my life. I have been successful for two reasons- my own desire to get healthy and Cary. She genuinely cares about her clients. Her approach to fitness and being healthy, her knowledge, and her unwavering support have helped me change my life. And I know I am not alone in sharing these sentiments. I am so grateful. Thank you, Cary!

I’ve been going to Big Sky for a while now. 2020-2021 I went to the Farmington location and that one’s quite nice with an outdoor and indoor pool and a huge locker room. Now 2022-2023 I’ve been going to the Vernon location and the showers are beautiful. There are plenty squat racks and everything you’d want in a gym. I’ve also been a member of Edge which is nearby and Big Sky is better in my opinion because there are less people at all times it seems lol. And Big Sky has a hugeee shake menu (Edge has small selection). Not to mention the promotions they run on memberships and rewards for referrals.
Also I’m friends with Rob at the front desk and he’s been so helpful the past couple months – when I needed assistance switching from my student prepaid membership once it expired to the monthly (came with 2 month free promotion online), with shake recommendations, when I need help looking for specific equipment, when I needed help with the reward for referring others, and is just generally nice to talk to and joke around with.

One day when I was having a really bad day (I went through this horrible break up and then my cat died) after going through this depressing moment in my life I decided to change my life around and start going to the gym. I used to go to Planet Fitness but soon upgraded to Big Sky.
During my first month of repeatedly going to Big Sky not only have the workers and people there helped me, but they are such amazing and kind people to talk with. I’ve had several conversations with a few workers, a young lady named Jeannie and another worker named Syd, and I’m always greeted with a smile and nice small talk.
I look forward to more nice and kind workers in the future such as Jeannie and syd. Such great work those two do!!

Great clean facility, cool staff, and lots of equipment. Never fighting for space even when the parking lot is full. The one on one coaching with Noah is exactly what I need to stick to my routine and improve my health. The staff behind the smoothie bar is great too. Always cheery and happy to customize your smoothie. Don’t leave without grabbing a peanut butter dream after your routine!

Big Sky is my favorite of all the gyms I’ve been a member of. And trust me, I’ve been around. The staff is always upbeat, friendly, helpful – Shout out to Angela, Melissa, and Katrina. The trainers like Noah and Eric are top notch. If you want to make changes to your membership, AJ is there to assist. The equipment variety is such that there is something for everyone whether you’re into powerlifting, bodybuilding, a CrossFit enthusiast, or simply working on general fitness. And there is So. Much. Turf. Space. I could go on and on, but I’ll end by saying: make sure you stop by for a post workout shake. They are out of this world.
Jeremiah C. from Enfield
February 2023
One of the best gyms in CT. Newly renovated and plenty of equipment & dumbbells to do any workout imaginable. Front bar staff are genuinely helpful and easy to approach. Angela makes the best post workout shakes, no doubt about it!

Love the atmosphere. Always clean facility. Many classes offered. Love the “bar” always stocked. Staff is friendly. Feels good walking to a gym with a welcoming atmosphere. Plenty of equipment. Multiple machines. Parking lot might look full but there’s always plenty of machines.
A down side is if you are new to the gym you might not know where to start, but ask a staff member. If you signed up for membership, use your free training sessions to get to know the equipment.

Ive been a member at this location since it was Farmington Farms. When Big Sky bought it, the owners communicated what changes to expect and they immediately started making much needed improvements. The pandemic closed the gym and slowed down the work. Ownership was fair to members and did not charge the months they weren’t open. Flash forward, the improvements continue. Its a huge facility with two pools, indoor tennis courts, a childcare center, large locker rooms and numerous fitness areas. Currently the front desk/entrance and smoothie bar are being renovated. The locker rooms are pretty bad right now, but I hear they’re slated for renovation this spring. I like the home-town feel of this gym. The core staff seem pretty consistent, and its nice to see their familiar and friendly faces.

Big Sky has changed my entire lifestyle and mindset. The staff are always helpful, respectful and go out of their way to make your gym session even better, whether it stocking the equipment or cleaning supplies or making delicious pre/post shakes. Working with my trainer Tiffany has made me look forward to coming to the gym!

This is a fantastic gym! The culture at Big Sky makes for an inviting, friendly, and supportive community. This facility is open, clean, and has accommodations for everyone regardless of where they are in their fitness journey. As an early morning gym goer, it is great to start the day with the friendly smiles of Angela and Melissa (they also make incredibly tasting shakes). I definitely recommend Big Sky to my friends and family.
