I was here working out this evening & right at 9pm (closing), the worker turned all of the lights…read moreoff with 2 customers still in the building, myself included. No mention of it being closing time, just lights off, time to go! On my way out, I asked him, "Do you have somewhere to be?" & that he "shouldn't turn the lights out with customers still inside." His response- "It's 9 o'clock." Which I responded, "Are you the owner?" & he responded "Yes." If this is the case, that the OWNER doesn't care about his customer's experience, I will for sure be taking my business elsewhere. I'm not sure where he was taught that his schedule getting out of work was more important than the paying customer's experience. As somebody who has worked in customer service my entire adult life (not to mention at this same gym 7 years ago), that's a foreign concept to me. As a manager or GM, if I found out my employees were putting themselves above the customers in this way, they'd be written up or let go. My advice? Do better. The BARE MINIMUM is you wait to close until everyone is gone. & if it gets to be 5-10mins after, you politely let the customers know you are closed & need to start closing. Customer Service 101, Day 1. If management, or (apparently) ownership encourages this type of customer service, it's no wonder places like Crunch Fitness & Victory Sports have taken what looks to be most of the business from East Coast.

Wayyyy too expensive considering the lack of amenities-- that being said, there's an abundance of…read moretreadmills and dumbells!! Basically, go with the Y instead. It costs only $5 more per month and offers a variety of activities and (free) courses; take advantage of the pools, rock climbing walls, yoga sessions, basketball and volleyball courts etc. It has much more of a community feel to it, to boot. Plus, I think we can all agree on the fact that Hamilton Plaza -- for some reason or another -- has become a rather depressing spot nowadays...am I right, or am I right?

Victory Sports is great for people of all training levels; they specialize in geriatric and high…read moreschool training, but it's also a surprisingly comfortable place for the average gym-goer (like me lol) At first I was intimidated by the fact that they requested a one-on-one meeting after signing up for a membership, but it turns out that it was hugely helpful - the co-owner (unfortunately can't remember her name) went into detail about the equipment offered, opportunity for trying new group classes, and also having a personal assessment to better gauge your needs and desires and allowing you personal training (if you want it!) The facility offers a good variety of equipment - the right side is the "grunter side" with lifting equipment and a green turf area for athletic training. The right side is geared towards cardio and machine weight training, with ample space for stretching and free weights as well. There are locker (and shower!) facilities for men and women, and each time I've been, I've been impressed by how clean it is and how often I see someone cleaning or checking up. Overall, a very friendly facility that is as personal as you want/need it to be, with great staff, amenities, and equipment. Highly recommend you at least come in to check it out if you're looking for a gym in the area!

Everyone is focused on improving themselves and being motivational and kind towards others. I've been working out with Scott Everhart now for almost a year and he is by far the best thing i could have done to physically improve myself! Great trainer who always is willing to go the extra mile for his clients! He wanrted to see first hand what goes into the sport i do to help train me better. So, instead of researching it on the computer he hopped in the truck with us one weekend and spent an entire day (6am-8pm) with my dad and I in New York! If thats not dedication, I don't know what is! I would highly recommend going in and asking for Scott to help you with whatever your goals are physically! He will help you reach and surpass them!!

A real student organization to set up activities would lead to more lively program in this space. Not using students to lead and program in this area is sad, and helps lead students to off-campus activities (e.g., drinking), because they are not offered leadership opportunities on campus. This is also leads to the HUB being not a leader in the ACUI.org You will not see a list of events. you will not see a lecture series (at least on the web site), you will not see a movie series. You will no longer see Late Night at Penn State (events on the weekends at night). You will not see student-led program initiatives. oh, and yeah, I'm glad the bookstore is there, but it sucks. it does not do its basic job very well, which is providing textbooks. But, you cannot complain to the university because they outsourced it. If you are in the HUB management, please do correct the web site and include more students in the leadership roles. They are messy and wrong, but they do turn into leaders and learn from it. That is really part of your job, if my dad taught me correctly. but, a great space, well used, and fulfills half of what a student union can do.

You simply cannot go wrong by practicing yoga with Erica Kauffman. She is an incredibly…read moreinspirational and encouraging yogini. Érica is exceptionally skilled at quickly identifying adjustments to significantly improve your practice. I've had virtual practices with her for over a year, and while I initially was skeptical of anyone's ability to provide meaningful coaching and corrections in a virtual setting I immediately experienced that I had nothing to worry about. If anything, I'm probably even more in touch w my body because I had to make every adjustment myself, without any physical assistance. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about Erica and her skill, expertise, compassion, and desire to make the world a better place!
