Updating my review: I've avoided this specific location because the last few times I was in, I was…read moredumbfounded at how dirty and dusty the place was getting, and it seems like members believe that wiping down equipment after use is not necessary. I know the latter is out of the control of the gym staff/franchise, but it's just inconsiderate. I had also quietly shared with management my observations of rogue personal trainers training their clients in this location. It wasn't just once or twice, it was a frequent occurrence at this location, by repeat offenders. Today took the cake. I decided to try out this location after a month had passed. The place was dirty, dusty. The bathroom was a mess: pieces of toilet paper, paper towel, hair balls, hair ties, and other assorted pieces of trash on the floor. One of the toilets was stuck on flush. I let the front desk person know, and he said he would "have her look at it". I can only assume that he was referring to his female associate. After my workout, I walked into the same, messy/gross ladies room. A temp out of order sign was placed on the stall door. Nothing had been cleaned up or picked up off the floor. Additionally, the same personal trainer, was obviously and blatantly training someone, while staff were in clear view/earshot. I was there for over two hours. The three staff members I saw at the front desk stayed at the front desk, scrolling on their phones and horsing around, when they could've put in the effort to tidy the place up. It's unfortunate because the management and some staff members at this location do work so hard.

The only negative I have may be a positive attribute for you, it is a family gym. There are plenty of activities and child care options to allow parents to fill the gym with kids, young and old. Also- cleaning wipes were not readily available. I had to search and eventually ask where cleaning wipes are to wipe down machines! Daily rate: $10 The weight room is large and well stocked. (Plenty of squat racks to go around!) I was there midday on a weekday and the crowd was so nice! However around 3 PM a group of teenage boys did make their way in and begin to easily overwhelm certain pieces of equipment, which is not ideal. The cross training area is incredible, full turf to allow sled pushing/tire flipping. There is a large jungle gym to allow for diverse and versatile workouts. The gym has two types of locker rooms, a quick change which has about 30 lockers (bring your own lock) and two full bathrooms. Also executive style locker rooms which are plush and include saunas. Their gym cinema option is awesome. It has treadmills and ellipticals, in front of a huge movie theater screen in a darkened room. There is as pool! The manager and his son are pleasures to work with! When I'm in Orangeburg I'll be sure to stop by again.

Video monitors show the movements throughout the class but there's also a coach present to demonstrate and make corrections, if necessary. At the clock's 3-2-1 you perform 6 sets of 25 second of work followed by 10 seconds of rest then you have 40? Seconds to switch stations. You do this for ~45:00 and then you're done! From what I understand, some days are more cardio / agility / body weight and some days are more strength focused. The coach also helps you modify any challenging movements to suit your personal abilities and goals! I will definitely be going back for more. The energy of the group was stellar ( I went at 12:15 ). I felt welcomed and got an excellent workout!

The hardwood floor in the basketball gym and secondary workout room is great for jumping on without much impact on the knees. A day pass is $8 (as of 3/2011) and they hold onto my driver's license until I'm ready to leave. Their low monthly rates are on their website. There aren't that many lockers surprisingly--a lot of people just carry their things with them around the gym. Showers are individual stalls, good-sized and well maintained. The front desk staff is very courteous and efficient--as a first time day member, I'm surprised I was checked in so quickly. There seems to be a wide variety of teachers offering different classes, they were all very friendly and enthusiastic. Some have more demanding classes than others, but they're all very good and provide individual attention. There is plenty of parking up front and in the back. Check their website for all sorts of seasonal activities (baseball, movie night, soccer, etc.). Their website schedule is up to date and the Y has smartphone calendar apps as well. 2013 Update. The yoga mats are showing their age since they opened, some students use them with their shoes on, so they're gnarled up at the ends. Bring your own mat or a towel to cover it up if you can. They'll be getting new Keiser spin bikes at the end of the April 2013. The facilities are still clean and people are still nice. :)
