I've been working out at VASA for a few months now and this is my honest review. The gym itself…read morehas great equipment and everything you would need to get a great workout in. The hours are extremely flexible being open from 4am-12am most days of the week and I really love that they have a big kids club for parents to be able to have childcare during their workouts. All the staff I've interacted with have always been very polite. Now for the not so good. Most hours of the day, this place is crowded. Certain machines that are extremely popular are very hard to get access to which requires me to wait around for the machine I need. I also get approached numerous times by people asking me how many sets I have left or if they can work in with me. There are a lot of people in their late teens/very early 20s that use this gym as a social club. They will utilize the machines together and stay on for over 30 minutes not allowing other members to have a turn. A lot of people do not wipe their equipment and there seems to be no signage or enforcement to encourage people to do so. I have also noticed that weights don't get put back in the correct spaces or at all in some cases with a few wobbly weight benches and divots in the floors next to the weight racks that you can easily trip in. I love the recovery room and red light therapy but I really wish that yoga was a part of the regular membership instead of requiring an upgrade. The locker room doesn't provide hair dryers, towels or any hygienic items as other gyms do. I'm continuing to use Vasa as of now, but I'm keeping my options open for other gyms in the area that would be less crowded.

Then proceeds to hit on her younger sister who's 16. He may still be there since the GM Brian stood by his side even after i submit complaints to him and my PT at the time, Dan. i think the assistant manager Nicole started hiring even younger girls too. Also the PT Andrea has her kid in tae kwon do and learning about asian culture and yet liked to repress and oppress me for singing or expressing myself through YouTube content. Koreans are loud and expressive people, we've been oppressed for it for centuries. Cultural appropriation much. I wonder if this review will even be published with all the censorship going on

I attended a Gong Immersion event at Avani Studios at Sky Fitness…read more A gong immersion, or gong bath, does not involve water but instead being immersed in the sound vibrations of a gong, believed to be healing to the body by entering a relaxing or meditative state. I knew what to expect because I had attended a gong bath many years ago. That experience had me falling asleep, experiencing synaesthesia, seeing explosions of light, color and sound, as well as feeling very peaceful and relaxed. This immersion was held in the yoga studio and was at capacity. You set down a mat, and other blankets, with feet in the direction of the gong. (This event had five sound healers and gongs). We started with some stretches and yoga. Then you lie down, palms up, legs uncrossed and listen. It's hard to describe the sound. It's deep, almost like a rumble, kinda like the cymbals, but more than just hearing, I also felt it in my pulse. With five gongs it's almost like a symphony with sounds and vibrations building on top of each other but you don't just hear it coming from the direction of your feet, it seems to be coming from every direction, immersing you in vibration. At this point I went in and out of sleep and certain sounds made my limbs twitch. One certain sound seemed to jolt me awake and I saw yellow or green pops of color (my eyes were closed). After that, I started to get restless and could not stay still and needed to stretch. I think at that point I had enough and it was maybe 10 minutes more (the total gong portion was 75 min?). I felt very tired (perhaps extremely relaxed?) and calm, my eyes were tearing (???), and we then had a short deep breathing and meditation. The gong practitioners were lovely, beautiful souls who promoted peace and healing. I felt at peace and in a more refreshed state of mind than when I started. I would attend another of these events but next time I would bring more blankets.

And no, a confrontation by a man trying to…read moreintimidate a female member off a machine by standing next to her and staring her in the face is not a disagreement between "two reasonable adults." And no, I didn't start it. Nearly every day, the seated leg press machine is constantly in use. There is only one machine of this exact kind, and it's a popular machine. I have to wait more than 1/2 hour for it sometimes. This includes waiting for people scrolling their phones, talking to their friends, etc. So when I finally do get to use it, I'd appreciate it if I didn't have a club member in his undershirt staring me in the face. When I told him to move away, he resorted to a series of insults that were reported to management. I really don't know what his psychiatric situation is or how long he's been a member. No one should have to tolerate this, and it should not be dignified as "two reasonable adults." He's clearly used to getting his own way. he was sneering the rest of the time he was there, occupying said machine for a long time. If I'm spoken to like this again, it will be a police matter. Nor should your desk or housekeeping staff have to tolerate anything like this. Thank you.
