Very poorly managed facility. Management is more concerned with "signing you up" then with…read moremanaging the facility properly. There are other better facilities in town. Equipment is old or often broken and not repaired for weeks to months. Padding on equipment is worn, torn, or just not there. Local "clique" members are not required to follow the rules of the gym, and when gym managers are asked for help it often is ignored. If your not just visiting and are a member, good luck getting in during unstaffed hours as the gym door often will not respond to your key scan and if no one else is inside, you are out of luck. Don't confuse this with Active Physical Therapy located in the same location, they are absolutely top notch. Too bad the gym doesn't follow suit.

Unfortunately there are very few options in the area when you are just passing through town. And on top of it the cost is $10 a person for an antiquated facility. But better then nothing.

It may not be as new as some is the others, but the friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness of the facilities, and the great classes and equipment make it just as nice, if not superior to the others. The huge indoor pool is great for the kids to play in, or for the serious swimmer to get their laps down. My favorite, the gymnasium, is perfect for some afternoon hoops and there's a track above that overlooks the court as you walk/run. There's a machine for everyone in the nautilus center And is for certain a come as you are atmosphere. Everyone here is there to help you become a new you and support you in your Fitness and health goals. Do yourself a favor, skip the big box places and go where everyone knows your name!

There is a slower techniques class where Freddie teaches boxing combinations and footwork basics. The next session includes music, cheering, and sweating. The format is circuit workouts with four stations; station 1 is boxing mitts and heavy bags, station 2 is active recovery with a dip/pull-up station, water bags, aerobic steps. You can also opt to run a lap around the block. Station 3 is active recovery and has battle ropes, weights, kettle bells, and yoga mats. Station 4 is active recovery and has speed bags, stationary bikes, jump ropes and a tire flip. You spend 3 minutes at each station and go through 4-5 cycles. You go as easy or hard as you want during active recovery but be ready to get your heart rate up when you get to the mitts and heavy bags. There are all ages, fitness levels and body types in these classes. Everyone treats each other like family and support each other with no judging. There is a kids' class and they occasionally have an after-dark blacklight party class that is a blast. If you like to exercise or just want to try something different for fitness, this is the place for you. It's friends, fun, and fitness all rolled up into an hour that seems to be over too soon.
