    I recently went in to make a firearm purchase and Sara Hillmer was top notch. Her knowledge and customer service was impressive.

    For lack of better words. THE MANAGER IS A NIT!!! I promise…read moreI'm a genuinely nice, respectful person. I follow rules, I'm polite to everyone I meet, and anyone who knows me would vouch for that. But this manager brought out the absolute worst in me. I was off one morning and decided to go to the gym with my 4 year old son. When we got there, he wanted nothing to do with the "kids zone" they provide. So I asked the very polite young lady working in there if it was okay for him to stay with me. She said it wasn't a problem, he just couldn't be on the machines. Perfect. No issue. So we headed to the CrossFit section. As we walked over, we said hi to DJ (great guy), and he even greeted my son with no problem. We got into the CrossFit room, but a Zumba class was about to start. The instructor told me I could grab whatever equipment I needed but would have to use the small room on the other side of the gym and return the equipment afterward. Totally fine. So we grabbed a couple of small dumbbells, walked past DJ again, past the kids zone, and went to the small room to do some calisthenics. Out of nowhere, the manager approached me and said, "Excuse me, he can't be in here." I politely asked, "Oh, I'm sorry! Where can he be?" She told me he wasn't allowed anywhere in the gym except the kids zone. For context, the kids zone is basically a small room with old toys, ripped books, and a stranger your kid has never met. My son didn't want to be in there, so I told her we'd just head out. The conversation at this point was calm and respectful on both sides. We packed up and walked back toward the CrossFit room to return the dumbbells exactly as instructed. We didn't stop, didn't touch equipment, didn't take a different route. When we got there, the door was closed, but someone walked in and held it open. The class was on a break, so I asked the instructor if I could put the equipment back. She said absolutely. I put the dumbbells away quickly and left. As soon as I turned the corner, the manager was standing there and repeated her earlier statement but this time in a rude, condescending tone, as if I had ignored her and continued working out. Before anyone says, "Well, technically you did ignore her," let me be clear. There are signs everywhere saying to return equipment and re‑rack weights. There are no signs saying kids can't be in that area. The kids zone employee said it was fine. DJ saw us twice with no issue. The Zumba instructor had no problem with us. So I told the manager, "Yes, I know you already told me. I was just putting the weights back." She snapped back with, "I don't care. He can't be over here. It's a liability. He could get hurt. It's against the rules," and so on. She said all of this while following me and my son through the gym even though he wasn't touching anything, wasn't near any machines, and was literally just walking next to me. What was I supposed to do; leave the weights in the wrong room? If I had, I'm sure she would've yelled at me for that too. We left, and I was ready to just move on until we got to my truck and my son asked, "Daddy, why was that lady yelling at us? It made me really sad." That's when I decided we were going back to cancel my membership. We walked in, and of course, the manager was the one at the desk. I calmly yet sternly said I wanted to cancel my membership. She didn't acknowledge me, didn't say a word just printed a paper saying I owed $145. I asked what the charges were for, and she rudely replied, "$100 early cancellation and $45 because you haven't paid for next month." In my head I'm thinking, Why would I pay for next month if I'm canceling right now? But I simply explained that I wasn't planning to cancel until closer to my transfer date, but her behavior made me change my mind. She denied following me, denied being rude, and then claimed I was the rude one be I interrupted the Zumba class twice which was laughable because the class was literally on break or didn't start yet. I told her I'd come back later. As I walked out, she told me I couldn't take the paper with the cancellation amount on it. A paper with my own name and own information on it. Ridiculous. I put it back and left. I returned a few days later to cancel my contract and that interaction was no better than the first. But it's over now and I'm so glad it is and will NEVER recommend this place!

    Ever since Fitness for 10 was switched to PAC it has gone way downhill. No longer able to bring a…read moreguest for free for one thing. Additionally, I was randomly charged $69.98 this month, my membership is supposed to be $30, when I asked why I was just told "that's an admin fee." No prior notice or anything, no real explanation. Ridiculous. Will definitely be stopping by to cancel my membership today. Their group class selection also sucks.

    Since the new ownership took over, I've noticed that the gym mats have not been replaced and are in…read morevery poor condition. They are visibly worn, damaged, they don't come clean even after wiping them down with the sanitation wipes. It's disappointing that under new ownership, something as basic as clean equipment hasn't been addressed. I've been to the downtown location and while those mats aren't perfect/new, they are noticeably cleaner and better maintained. I really hope this location can prioritize replacing these mats soon, as cleanliness is extremely important for a gym to prioritize. I can bring my own mat but the gym should still be providing clean ones for members!

    Quality: I've never been there and seen a machine out of service or in need of repair…read more Machines with Screens: They have a great selection of treadmills and stair steppers that have a screen. These screens are awesome! You can create a profile for future logins. They allow you to watch content or watch a video of a trail or path as you run. There is also a place to wirelessly charge a phone, hold a drink, and even prop up an entire book to read (I've done this a few times and I highly recommend it). Machines That Focus on a Muscle Group: If there's a name for this category of machine, I just don't know it. They have 2 machines each of these kind of machines. Lock Rooms: Locker rooms have lockable lockers (bring a lock), showers, a dry sauna, and bathrooms. I've been very happy with the cleanliness here. I hear there's also a tanning booth but I haven't used them. Water: Water refill stations available. Other: I can see that they have areas for boxing - like punching bags - but I don't know much about it. I also see they have weight lifting machines aplenty but again my knowledge here is fuzzy at best. Overall I'm really pleased with this gym at this price point and it checks all the boxes for what I would like from my personal gym. Take advantage of the family deal! $10 for the memberships of immediate family members.
