    I've been coming to this location since it opened last year and enjoy that it is spacious, has lots…read moreof equipment, and offers many classes. There's also great amenities such as a cardio theatre, smoothie bar, and hydro-massage chairs to name a few. I only come to this location for classes and the hydro-massage chairs, so I can't comment too much on anything else. However the class instructors are extremely professional while fun, and will lead you through a great workout! That hydro-massage chairs are a great perk to membership and great way to relax for 10 minutes before heading out. I'm impressed with the safety measures they've implemented since COVID. On each visit they take temperatures upon entry and ask if you're experiencing any COVID symptoms. I've also seen employees cleaning the locker rooms more frequently than before. Additionally, they added lines to the floor in the class rooms to reduce capacity, and I personally love the extra space. I'd recommend this location if you enjoy taking classes, they offer a good variety at different times of the day.

    Another one star review..... disappointing. I really feel that this was a bait and switch. I…read morejoined through Active & Fit. That covers the general membership only. I went for a gym tour about 3 weeks ago to figure out whether I was going to switch. The representative told me that for an additional $10 per month, I could switch to the ultimate membership but I would need to commit to that for a year. I was and am fine with that. So I switched and went to the gym today, eager to get going. Now for the switch. Mia says that an additional $10 per month (plus the $ I pay to active and fit) will only get me fitness classes - and none of the recovery amenities, etc. She made no attempt to discover how the miscommunication happened or what could be done about it. For context, it was completely reasonable to believe that they were up front with me initially because the difference in price between the normal membership and the ultimate is only $10 per month. It is a shame that this gym management is so poor. It seemed to me to be a gym I could see myself working out in regularly.

    I am extremely disappointed with the customer service I have received from Kelly. Every time I…read morepurchase a drink, she snatches it out of my hand instead of handing it to me respectfully. On one occasion, as I was leaving, she called me a racial slur--the N-word. That behavior is completely unacceptable and should never be tolerated in any workplace. In addition, she is constantly on the phone with her boyfriend while serving customers. There is rarely a greeting or any acknowledgment when I come in because she continues her personal phone conversation instead of focusing on customers. This level of unprofessionalism and disrespect creates a very uncomfortable environment. I hope management takes this complaint seriously and addresses the situation.

    DO NOT get a membership at catalyst, they are incompetent and greedy. They messed up my original…read morecontract, it was supposed to be $30 a month and they were charging me $33 a month. Not much of a difference but I had to make them fix it and I'm not even sure how that happened as their plans are $20, $30 & $40 a month. Trying to cancel your membership? A fkn nightmare. I spoke to the front desk in April 2026 and they told me my membership expired on 5/27/26 (12 mo contract was up) and would not renew. They gave me an email and number for cancellations and told me to just email to confirm it ended 5/27. I emailed 5/4 and they say they have a 30 day cancellation policy and I will now be charged an extra month which directly contradicts what the front desk employees told me. To make matters worse, I see a $50 charge on my account separate from the $30 monthly fee. I assume it was a cancellation fee but there was no mention of any fee being charged and there shouldn't be one since my contract was up. They do not care about you and only care about getting as much money out of you as possible. Save yourself the hassle and go somewhere else.

    Overall, my family has been pretty happy with the Y. The workout facilities, locker rooms and…read morebathrooms are much cleaner than what I've experienced at places like LA fitness. I love that they have lockers with locks in the main workout area (you do need to bring your own lock for the locker room), although currently many of the lockers are broken so I hope they repair them soon. I've taken quite a few good classes here although the classes do tend to get crowded so you really have to show up early to make sure you have a spot. We also enjoy swimming both in the lap pool and with our son in the zero depth pool. The one frustration I have had is with the adventure room. This is a great indoor playground which my toddler son loves. However, unlike the rest of the facilities, it is covered in dust. I worry that if they aren't maintaining this area, not only is it covered in germs from the children, but they may not be regularly inspecting the safety of the structure. Overall, it seems like a safe playspace but anytime you have kids climbing at such high heights, a piece of broken equipment could become a serious danger. I always watch my son closely and check out the equipment myself while he's playing. The other problem with this area is that although there is an app with schedules, it is frequently incorrect when it comes to the adventure room. The open hours for children under five are very limited and as you can imagine, it is very difficult to get a toddler out of the house, bring him to his favorite place only to have to tell him that it is unexpectedly closed. I have brought up this issue to the staff multiple times, but it still has not been addressed. In general, I would say the Y is worth it, especially if you were planning on utilizing all of the facilities

    The excercise classes in the pool led by Sara are wonderful. Overall, the staff is friendly,…read morehelpful, and professional. The facilities are 1st rate.
