VASA Fitness may not have invented the HVLP (high-value-low-price) gym category—but it sure is defining it. That means they pack an insane amount of amenities and services, at great pricing to boot. Here's what you can expect:
HVLP also means gyms packed with all the right equipment and gear. Members at VASA get access to standard gym offerings like:
VASA Fitness was founded in 1997 in Orem, Utah, USA. The current CEO is Cory Brightwell. The headquarters are located in Orem, Utah, USA.
The exact times are different for every location, but the most common we've seen:

Room for activities! Average square footage of their gyms.
How much you can expect to pay for the entry-level membership every month
The hardcore dedication to be one of the best gyms in the entire country. Seriously: VASA has that ability as they continue to grow. It starts with a gigantic amenity set—available at the majority of locations.
Quite possibly the best value of all gym chains out there. We look at all the available amenities (at each of their locations) and compare it to average price (at each of their locations).
Huge clubs, packed with things to do. Our math comes out to clubs with an average size of 49,888 square feet!
Childcare is a priority! 47 of 51 locations (92% of their total) offer up a safe spot for your kids to play... while you do the same. Everybody wins!
We know that VASA Fitness is a great all around option that satisfies their members, but nobody is perfect. Here are a few things we'd like to see form them.
We wish VASA would spread their magic far across the country. Everybody should have the opportunity to join such a well rounded fitness chain.
Would be nice to see locations open 24-hours-a-day. In our experience, only a small percentage of members workout at night—but they may do so at 24 Hour Fitness and Anytime Fitness.
VASA should show some love to popular sports like pickleball, tennis, racquetball and squash. These are (typically) higher-end activities you'll see at luxury country club-style gyms.
VASA gyms are stuffed with incredible amenities. Surprisingly, they also don't charge an arm and leg for access—here are their membership types:
We're ecstatic that most locations have this pricing setup. Their $10/$25/$50 price-points are the same at most of their locations: it's primarily the enrollment fee that fluctuates during their promotional periods.
Also, not all locations have all amenities—so for example, in Phoenix at Premium membership you'll get basketball, light therapy and kidcare. The Salt Lake City Brickyard,at Premium membership brings in a massage lounge, tanning and fitness cinema.
We like how you don't have to pay first-and-last dues during signup, just the first. You'll also get a $49.99 "Rate Guarantee Fee" every year as the annual fee—billed for your first time 60 days after signing up.
We all have different bodies, different goals and different fitness journeys. Some gyms may fit a person better than others. So who would enjoy this gym most?

It's no secret: we're huge fans of VASA Fitness, and you should be too. Sometimes a gym will have all the most amazing amenities. Sometimes a gym will have excellent pricing options. In this case for VASA, both are true at the same time.
At this price-point, it's often equivalent to other gyms' entry offering. Comparing a VASA location in Phoenix to an LA Fitness 10min away: $39.99 a month, with a higher initiation and annual fee. They don't have tanning nor guest privileges like VASA too.
In this case: absolutely worth it. Let's keep going though—
Let's end with the VASA experience, ambiance and attitude. You get newer, fresher, cleaner locations. Many of their gyms were built or refreshed in the past five years, giving members an up-to-date and modern experience during their workouts. That means treadmills that aren't always broken, Or StairMasters that don't clunk and make noise. What about bathrooms that aren't falling apart?
While this won't be true at every single one of their locations, the general trend with VASA remains: their gyms are younger and better kept.
Altogether, it looks like VASA cracked the high-value-low-price code, providing members with incredible value in fantastic spaces. Members seem to agree, with an average 4.2 Google score across all 50 gyms we're tracking. We're sure they're enjoying their fitness journey here, and you probably will too. VASA: 100% worth it!
