Been with the gym for almost 2 years now and I don’t regret a single moment of it! The facility is nice and open, the swimming pool is great to workout in, and the staff are absolutely fantastic. Definitely sign up if you want to build those gains!

Been coming here since 2013. Best gym out there. Great staff. Great equipment. Extremely rare you find broken equipment. And if it is, usually replaced very quickly.

I’ve been going here for a few years now. Staff is super kind and they make coming to the gym more personal. They work to create a connection with their clients. Equipment is great and the people who go there are really nice and supportive. Highly recommend.

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!

Been going to Big Sky in Farmington since they opened and they have been continually committed to improving. It seems like every few months they are making investments to make this place better. The weight room is quite extensive and there is a new protein shake bar.

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

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!

I always feel welcomed and supported by them, Angela at the desk is top knotch. There are tons of machines, floor space, and class options to meet any fitness desire. The trainers are also friendly and eager to help you get to your goals. Noah is a great trainer if you are looking for strength and power. I like lifting heavy with Noah.

Big Sky is a great gym, the staff is so friendly. I love that the heart-pumping Group-X classes are included in the membership. Rick is a very motivating and energetic Coach and Group-X Fitness Instructor. His knowledge of fitness pushes you to your limits while having a blast sweating it out. The results are real! I would recommend Rick and Big Sky to anyone.

Every time I come into this gym to work out I’m always greeted by the employees and it make me feel welcomed to come to this gym. After my workout I usually get a protein shake and the employees will always recommend different shakes to try and they always say goodbye, not just to me but to everyone who leaves after their workout. They have good workout machines and keep the gym clean but the big thing that makes me keep coming back to Big Sky is the great customer service keep it up guys!!!

Kellyann B. from Wethersfield

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.

Lucci M. from Vernon
