I have a love-hate relationship with this gym.
People that work here are all genuinely friendly and helpful. No one gets in a way, no one gives you attitude. It feels nice.
Where the gym is lacking, however, is in equipment. For a beginner or an intermediate trainee, it's not too bad. You have you standard set of treadmills, machines, some weights, stretching area.
For anyone serious about training, the gym is mediocre-ish:
- Dumbbells go only up to 38kg (and they have 36kg missing)
- Kettlebells selection is pretty limited (there's 2x8kg, 2x12kg, 2x16kg, 20kg, 24kg)
- They don't have belt w. chain for weighted pull-ups/dips
- The bench press has an awkward height (it's either too high or too low)
- There's only 1 squat rack
And, of course, this is a standard commercial gym, which means no rings, sleds, prowlers, sprint tracks, ropes, etc.
On the plus side, they have foam rollers, few bands, some heavy bags (although no full-height; kicks not allowed) and a standalone pull-up bar with plenty of space on top, where you can do muscle-ups.
One more thing -- while the trainers are nice folks, barely anyone is actually competent, so think twice before getting one :/ Things I've seen: coaching someone ridiculously-looking snatch (if you can call it that); telling a client "good job" while she's doing half-good-morning-half-squat with poor form; making someone kick a heavy bag with absolutely atrocious form; making someone half-squat on a bosu ball while holding onto dumbbells; coach improper squat-like swings; etc.
