    I want to share my disappointing experience with Randy, the owner of Metro Fitness. I moved In July…read moreand was committed to investing in my health before starting a really stressful job. In July, I purchased a $700 pass for 10 personal training sessions as part of a "summer special", with the promise that a master's-educated trainer would be available. Unfortunately, that trainer never started working at the gym, and I was not informed of this until late September--months after waiting and following up. Despite knowing my schedule, Randy repeatedly suggested trainers who were already fully booked. He then set me up with an unqualified intern who worked at the front desk. When I expressed my concerns, he acknowledged that this wasn't acceptable and offered Pilates as an alternative. However, that turned out to be another false promise, as no sessions or teachers were actually available. After months of back and forth and empty promises, I requested a refund, as it was clear I was not receiving the services I had paid for. Randy initially agreed but then delayed the refund, citing financial excuses like needing to wait until after the "metro gala." By November, I still hadn't received my money, and he stopped responding to my calls and texts entirely. Now it is mid January. This has been a frustrating and disheartening experience, especially as someone in a low-paying position after completing graduate school. I share this in hopes of warning others about this gym and Randy's business practices. If anyone has advice on handling situations like this, I would greatly appreciate your guidance. As an aside, I had a bad experience with a trainer there who was really creepy and asked extremely personal questions. Most of the gym is dedicated to the personal training space. There are never wipes or cleaning supplies convenient or restocked to clean equipment after use.

    I'm enjoying my personal training sessions very much. They're not always easy, but that's the…read morepoint. Douglas, my trainer, is pushing me the right amount to make a difference and I always leave feeling good about the work I've done and his partnership in my progress. Also it's just a great gym. It's a great place to focus on the workout but you always run into cheerful people that work there.

Being corporate it does give you access to use other locations, but unless you travel routinely the higher price and loss of personality isn't worth it. Personally I don't like the heart rate monitor and comparison aspect of class, but the workout is good and the staff seems helpful and motivating.

We easily made our workout reservation through the Orangetheory App and followed up with a phone call to ensure our place in the class. We were told to arrive a little earlier to get a tour of their studio. Parking is really plentiful in this lot, next to a Nature-Tyme and petco. It is much different and larger than ours, with a couple of showers (and sign up boards for the showers), a locker room with locks and a coat room (we don't see coat rooms in So Cal). Towels were available for purchase for $10 each (double the cost than our Tustin location). We signed waivers and grabbed a treadmill card, awaiting class. The day we went you could test out Reebox shoes during your class for purchase later. Hannah was our coach for the hour and she was great! She explained the goal of 12+ splat points and the exercises and switches. I loved the layout of this studio--staggered weight stations so no one was in anyone's way, though not sure how that works on TRX days. She motivated throughout the class and played great music. The hour was a fantastic workout with a 35 point splat day for me! I don't expect to be back in Syracuse in the foreseeable future but if you can take a class here, do it! It's really great!
