So I came into this place with my friends, there was no one at the desk to greet us. As I walk approximately 25 ft on the left hand side there were cardio machines outdated machines I should state. In the middle there were outdated strength machines however in good condition and the hardcore strength machines that I'm accustomed to using. These machines out beat some of those play play machines as I call them found in other gyms that feed you pizza and bagels. As I move further into the gym I must admit it was very bright and colorful. The walls did not have much of an appeal to them without motivational images or statements so it lackluster in that department. Why not go to a gym that will motivate you while you're sitting on a machine with words blaring at you constantly instead of a plain yellow or green wall? When I moved further into the gym there was an aerobics area that had a stench to it. Yes all gyms have their own funk but this one smelled of mold and onions. It was roomy enough for maybe 25 people to work out. I didn't work out there I came mainly for the weight lifting. I was very disappointed to see paint on the floors and the equipment. There's a certain type an appeal a gym should have and it should not be paint on the gym floors ,equipment or in places its not supposed to be. THERE was also DIRT PILES on the floors in the corners which doesn't make for a healthy gym. I don't know about you but I don't want to be breathing dust balls as I work out. People are paying a healthy penny for this gym . they need to really upgrade equipment , equipment is left out on the floors all over the place. You can't blame the customers mainly for this because it is the responsibility of the staff to make sure people are not hurt or injured so why can't the staff members pick up these items and put them back to their place? There should be no excuse for this type of behavior due to not having adequate Staffing nor being unaware. Each reason given is not an excuse, hire enough staff members and make sure they are continuously checking to make sure there are no equipment scattered around the floor so that people can exercise and walk around safely. The staff members I met are stuckup and that's not a great attitude to have when you are a business owner, employee or trying to give the idea as you are all for one. Nonetheless judge 4 yourself. I've worked out at some of the 4 and 5 star fitness centers and this is just my opinion on this place. It works for some not for all. MUCH, much improvement is needed. Actually I'm really shocked that with the prices that they charge their members they do not upgrade the cardio equipment, clean up the messy paint and dirt, and hire more staff or pay them better to keep the equipment in their proper places. I'd rather work out in a safe and cleaner environment. read more

This is my gym. Aside from the friendly relaxed atmosphere, I can get in a great workout without the nonsense that goes on at Planet Fitness. It is extremely affordable and offers a wide variety of activities such as boot camp, Zumba and the metabolic playground. read more

I love this gym & I love Damola! Try a zumba class with the owner, Damola & you'll change your mind forever!

This is by far the dirtiest gym I've ever worked out in. A real mess. The spin class was a joke. Three bikes set up in the weight area with the instructor playing a portable CD player. read more

Here to take my weekly Krav Maga class, which I love , the area we trained on is artificial type turf, its ok, just wondering if they clean it often because of other classes sweating on it, ,we have blaring zumba music next door and treadmill/ ellipticals going on in the rear, not much privacy, bathrooms are ok too read more

If you are serious about working out, you should get the week trial. I did and now I am a member. They have cross fit, weight training and the best Zumba classes in town. read more

I can't believe I've never reviewed Ayo before. I guess it's because I'm there all the time and it's become my second home; my family. I've never thought of myself as a gym person. I was dancing since I was 5 years old, all throughout high school. When I graduated in 2009, I was searching for somewhere to get my dance fix. A friend, Gail Jackson said to me "Luisa, have I got the place for you!" She told me about a place nearby that I would love, called Studio Ayo. I figured I'd give it a try, so off I went as her guest in my first Zumba class. I was hooked. The music, the atmosphere, everything about it. It was a workout disguised as a dance party. If this was working out, I could get used to the idea of it. Fast forward to now, 7 years later and I'm at Ayo most nights of the week. Here I am, a TOTAL gym person! Ayo Fitness is not your average gym. When you enter the building, you're greeted with a smile, and you become a member of the Ayo family. Everyone looks out for you, and you look forward to working out and seeing everyone. We have so much fun, we hardly realize we're working out. I recommend my gym to anyone and everyone I meet and if you haven't been yet, you're missing out! #ayostrong #ayolove #ayofitness read more

I am impressed with the amount of equipment they have and the staff is very friendly and personable.

I've been a member of AYO Gym for about 3 years. Although I have yet to venture to the machines, I am still taking Zumba classes 3-4 times a week without getting bored...which is pretty amazing and a real credit to the instructors, all of whom are different and excellent. I added Zee's cardio/abs/toning class 3 times a week about a year ago and absolutely love it. Zee is the best teacher and motivator as she coaches, corrects, and cheerleads us through our ever-changing routines that challenge us and work our bodies. The friendly and welcoming atmosphere, Damola's infectious smile and spirituality, the Zumbathons which support local causes close to the heart, and the positive energy of the staff make AYO Gym the best!! read more

So I stumbled upon this gym while on a business trip and I refused to pay $20 per day at a national change and it was an excellent idea. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, a solid product and a great variety so not much to complain about. read more
