Hi everyone, out of nowhere Sweat fitness in Manayunk is closing and I was wondering if anyone knew of any good free weight gyms in the area?

I know some people who work out at Fire for Effect and love it. Lots of free weights even some strongman stuff.

AFC in Bala Cynwyd; just off the Pencoyd bridge. 20-25 min walk from the center of Main Street so not great, but large space

There's a Planet Fitness on Ridge.

Does anyone know what the old Sweat space will become? Hoping it’s another gym

Sweat seems to be circling the drain everywhere. They recently closed the Queen's Village location without telling members, turns out they didn't pay rent

City Fitness is taking over a few of the closed Sweat Locations. Not sure if that's the case here.

The LA fitness across the river is solid but it's always a mess. I've never seen so many weights left lying around.

They closed everywhere except for Passyunk, and that gym will stay open under new ownership. Kind of scummy because they closed with no notice and automatically transferred everyone's membership to the Passyunk location on the last day of the month. As for Manayunk, AFC is probably your best bet.

Hopefully it isn't a pain in the dick to cancel our membership
