Truth be told I go to the one in Collinsville so my review will be for that one. Hometown Gym,…read morechill, has plenty of equipment, that is updated. Mark and Jimmy and everyone else does a wonderful job. Its affordable, and for the amenities it has its really good. The only negative is the hours, but I can work around it and make it work (its not that big of a negative). There are few few Gyms that have a sauna, indoor pool and a hot tub that I can think of in the St. Louis area, and none in Illinois apart from SIUE. This place is the best, stop by take a tour, and see if it works for you.

Overall a good gym to work out at!…read more I mostly use the cardio equipment and there is always plenty to go around (even with some of the machines being shut down due to social distancing). They seem to be doing a good job about cleaning everything. The only thing that is unfortunate right now is Im paying for 24 hour access and they aren't doing that right now. I get why they aren't doing it though so it's not a big deal!

Lots of free weights and some fun classes. The big downside to this gym is that it is really dirty…read more On the weekend, you will find the staff ignoring members at the desk while on their phones or watching TV's. The women's locker room is usually a mess, none of the weights are reracked, there is trash around the gym floor, and the machines are pretty dirty. I only hit this gym once a week to get in a deadlift. Otherwise, there are much cleaner options in town.

After check-in we are asked to sign in on a special sign in sheet which asks for our names, emails, where we are visiting from, and why we're visiting. This extra requirement seems like harassment, especially considering that most of the info is available to them as soon as we scan in. Of course they don't know our reason for visiting the area, but that's none of their business. We travel frequently and have never encountered another Planet Fitness that demands this extra requirement for visitors from other PFs

They fired my first trainer because he was giving performing enhancing drugs to children, and they fired my next trainer for accusations of sleeping with a client.

It just wasn't worth the money in the end.

The Meyer YMCA is kept clean and the staff are always so friendly and helpful. We are only staying…read morein the area for a few months and needed the amenities offered at this Y, but didn't want to pay the activation fee for such short use so they waived it for us. Prices for activities and clubs are reasonable, factoring in the membership fee. The workout area is always kept in great condition, and rarely do they have machines not working. When they do, they are fixed very quickly. The only thing I am not so pleased with is the pool. It would be better for families if they had an infant area for toddlers/young children to paddle and an indoor pool at this location would be a plus since the Esic YMCA location is older and less appealing/boring. We did have a negative experience at the boot camp at the Esic, where the female instructor paid absolutely no attention to us as newcomers and people who were unfamiliar with the exercises. We looked stupid standing around and frequently did the wrong thing since we couldn't remember the circuit. She was too busy working out herself.... not pleased.

I had been going here for a year as a family plan member on my sister's account and while sometimes…read moretheir computer system has had trouble finding me we have always been able to show proof with our phone login account and been able to continue on our day. Today however when this issue came up, an older woman named Mary Ann was adamant that I was not listed on the account and could not stay. We showed the phone login that clearly lists me as a family member on the account and showed the email from a year ago where I signed the appropriate waivers. Mary Ann informed us that all of that didn't matter, and when we told her we had been doing this for a year with no issues she responded with "well then we fucked up. But there's smart people working at the front now". And during all of this the two younger girls working the counter were making rude side commentary and giving our family dirty looks. We insisted a manager be contacted but when Mary Ann called the manager she openly lied with us there stating we were refusing to sign waivers. We called her out and said that isn't true we are fining signing paperwork again but Mary Ann also insisted that we would only be allowed to have me with them this one last time even with the paperwork. So we left, cancelled the membership and will be going elsewhere. The entire experience was bad enough but with the kind of language Mary Ann used and the disparaging comments about previous workers clearly show this is not a family friendly establishment. I'm also not unconvinced that some of the attitudes stemmed from their personal discrimination opinions as it was also obvious my sisters are part of a same sex marriage relationship.

Honestly, I have taken restorative classes around the world and this is THE BEST class I have ever…read moretaken!!! The location is easy to get to and there is ample parking. Once you get into the studio, it is welcoming, there's a water station, two bathrooms, and everything you need for new and seasoned yogis!!! And then the class begins and it's like the set of Cheers where everybody knows your name and if you're new, like I was, they're so glad you came!! When you walk into the space, there are candles and stations set up around the room for every participant - bolsters, blankets, eye masks, weighted blankets...you name it, they are there AND crystal bowls for a live sound bath!! This I the first class I have taken where I didn't have to do anything - Nancy hooks you up...she helps you get into the poses, she adjusts everything, she places the weighted blankets on you...she does EVERYTHING!!! It is the most relaxing class I have taken! She plays the bowls and shares words of wisdom all while you are nestled in a little personal cocoon...it was amazing!!! And when the class ends, Nancy is adamant that you do NOT clean up! This hour is your hour - your hour for reflection, your hour for relaxation, your hour for self care...and it was the best hour I spent that week! I look forward to the next time I am able to visit and take this class!! What an amazing class and studio and most importantly, Nancy is an instructor who gives 200% to her students and it is so appreciated! If you're looking for an opportunity to give yourself an hour of love and care and deep relaxation - check out this class, it will be the best money you spend!!!
