My family and I have been going to this gym for over a year. It's perfect for our needs. It's…read moreamazing, clean, and has a very friendly environment. ABOUT THE GYM OWNERSHIP AND MEMBERSHIP: This Gym is called Genesis now, but it was previous known as "Esporta" before they were acquired over a year ago. They honored all old memberships before changing their company, which we really appreciated. Their Facebook and website is always updated, and they are always VERY open and clear about how much their monthly fees are, what the rules are for other local locations, and so on. ABOUT THE CAFE: Other than a few vending machines, their previous cafe that WAS here is now CLOSED. I dont know what they plan to do with their little kitchen spot near the front doors, but it seems like they are just keeping the vending machines stocked for now. ABOUT THE POOL: Recently re-done! They completely redid the bottom of the pool, cleaned out the water, and they have a clip board sheet at the front desk about what times what lanes have been claimed. They also offer classes although I am not too plugged in to what kinds of classes they can do. I often see swimming classes in the mornings on the weekends there, however. ABOUT ME: I am going to speak more from the angle of a person who is here in the mornings, lightly works out to maintain fitness and health, and walks and runs the circular track upstairs on the 2nd floor all the time. I have gotten nothing but friendliness and kindness from the entire staff here. I always read the previous negative reviews of a business before I post, and all I can say is that I never ran into a billing issue or anyone who mumbles. They seem to rotate staff a bit frequently, perhaps... but in any event, showing up in the mornings to speak to a manager instead of showing up in the evenings after work, when more helpful people are unfortunately more likely to not be around, has probably been a major bonus for me getting great customer support. THEY HAVE A DAYCARE!!!!! It was closed when we first joined more than a year ago, but thankfully as my toddler began aging into his hyperactive wildness, they opened it back up!!! Finally after "Covid". Heaven, what a blessing!! HERE are the daycare hours: Monday: 8:30am-12pm, 4pm to 8pm Tuesday: 8:30am-12pm, 4pm to 8pm Wednesday: 8:30am-12pm, 4pm to 8pm Thursday: 8:30am-12pm, 4pm to 8pm Friday: 8:30am-12pm ONLY Saturday: 8:30am to 12pm ONLY Sunday: CLOSED So basically, this means that there is a several hour gap of NO daycare employee in the MIDDLE of the day Mondays through Thursdays, and Fridays and Saturdays they are only open in the mornings, but then Sundays they offer no daycare at all. The morning daycare staff IS different than the evening daycare staff, too. And wow, these people are ABSOLUTE SWEETHEARTS to my Autistic Boy . Such amazing energy! My son never wants to leave, and there is NO TIME LIMIT for him being here? The assurance and relaxation I get from their ability to call me or find me if there is an issue makes my workout just that much more peaceful. Overall, give it a try! If you are looking for a place to start off, then definitley go with the month to month or 6 month trial. Billing has always been on time, and again, managers always seem to be there in the mornings in their office when you first walk in, just incase there are any issues.

The staff was friendly and helpful as a newcomer I didn't know where things were.

For this, I could not be more grateful. They will patiently and expertly adjust to your level and needs. There are now four youngsters from my extended family benefiting from BBS.

I highly recommend this affordable and collegial no-judgment zone. Truthfully, sometimes I have to reluctantly drag my sorry rear end there but I always feel so much better after my group or individual session. My next goal is to try their much praised Pilates classes. Again, give BBS a shot, you will not regret it.

The place is grimey, nobody cleans their machines after using them. The lack of safety is insane to me -- multiple people just throwing weights, not in areas that it is meant for. People walking under, through, around your squat rack/machines is so unsafe. There is so much non-working equipment. It is way too expensive to be constantly busy and never have enough room to workout. Icing on the cake is I requested a cancellation due to moving out of state. Emailed, called MULTIPLE times, and consistently got ignored by Jordan, the one person that manages accounts. He requested multiple forms of proof of move, which I happily provided, and again was ignored.
