The staff is so inviting and helpful especially when I first joined and the equipment is so new that the adjustments are completely different than what I'm used to. No one hovering over you waiting like other gyms, this place is so clean. If you told me they bought all the equipment yesterday, I would believe you. I met the owner the first visit while he was fixing up the selfie rooms. He apologized for the mess and introduced himself. Very community spirited gym, but not the pushy type to get you involved if you don't want to. If you like quiet, keep in mind the classes on the turf Saturday mornings especially around holiday time. I'm not a morning person so it definitely woke me up but nothing to keep me from still going to this gym. I am on the petite side and there are some machines where I can't put any weight on or else there would be no movement and if I put the lowest weight it's too heavy to push/pull. So there are some machines that aren't beginner friendly. I'd say it's definitely a gym to go to where you've already started your fitness journey and want to enhance it or just wait to use those machines after you build some more strength. I don't think I've heard the same song twice and every song is great and pumps me up. Whoever is controlling the tunes is doing fantastic!

Was not overly crowded in the weight area, but there was a class happening on the other side of the gym. The equipment in this gym is by far the best I've seen anywhere lately. Gym rules are pretty solid for maintaining a clean and respectful space for its members as well. 10/10.

This has helped save ice time as the conditioning can be done here vs on the ice. Ice time is very expensive, so this is a great benefit for our team. He is really good with the kids and makes all the activities fun and sometimes a little competitive to help push them. I cant give a good enough review of what he brings.

I thought pilates might help improve my balance and weakness from sitting so much of the day. But…read moremost of my previous gym experiences didn't really help build my confidence. So I was hesitant. The difference at Club Pilates is smaller classes, where the instructor can really focus on helping improve your form so you are safely and effectively working out. I've bounced around and tried a few instructors and each is a little different. Classes are divided into 3 different skill levels and several different focuses - general pilates, cardio, stretch and balance and others - so you can find what works for you. The app is intuitive and easy to use. The one drawback: smaller classes means you might have to be on a waitlist for your class and time. It's not been a problem so far, people must cancel frequently. As long as you cancel at least 12 hours before your class starts, it doesn't count against you. I'm really enjoying my membership at Club Pilates!

I signed up for Black Card membership and have yet to been able to take advantage of the various amenities, because nobody is focused on ensuring members can utilize the services in the Black Card area. It's sad because while there must be over 10 members of the staff walking around or manning the front desk, they are all focused on signing. People up or walking potential members around. That leaves current members struggling how to operate the various machines in the "Black Card" zone. Maybe I should have waited until they were better established. Currently, I would recommend just signing up for a basic membership until such time as they can operate the facility and ensure new Black Card members can utilize the facility. The facility is great though. Staff appears a bit overwhelmed.
