In August, before my sister's wedding, I booked an appointment at this salon based on a friend's…read morerecommendation. I was very specific about the techniques and cut I wanted and was assured they could handle it. When I arrived, I was told my appointment had been switched to a "more experienced" stylist. Her previous client was unhappy with her color, so instead of focusing on my appointment, the stylist kept going back and forth, working on that client's color while also cutting my hair. She completely ignored me, barely consulted with me, and kept insisting the haircut I wanted "wasn't that hard," as if I was making a big deal over nothing. The result was a terrible haircut that was not what I asked for at all. At first I thought I might be overreacting and tried to give it time, but months later my hair is still completely messed up and uneven from that cut. This was an incredibly disappointing experience, especially before such an important event. Terrible customer service and I would not return or recommend this salon

Pros : It's 24 hours and has single person bathrooms. Also very friendly staff. That's it…read more Cons : This is a very very small gym with an incredibly mediocre setup. They charge a monthly maintenance fee which is completely fine, however equipment is consistently breaking down and takes forever to be fixed. In one of the pictures the pullup bar is missing a grip on one side and it has been this way for AT LEAST 6 months. When I asked a team member about it they gave some bs excuse about it and said it would be fixed soon. 3 months later still nothing. Also noticing what appears to be black mold on the ceilings(I'm not an expert.) I stay here because it is extremely close to my job and is basically the only gym available when I'm off that I know of. If any other options become available that can even come close to the convenience that this gym offers I will immediately cancel my 2 year contract and happily pay whatever cancellation fee comes with it. Also goodluck going during the afternoon.Thanks for reading

A couple of months into my workout - one day, during my workout, the general manager approached me…read moreand offered to cancel my gym membership because I dropped my weights during my deadlifting. Before I signed up, I specifically asked three questions: 1) Whether I can do deadlifts; 2) Whether I can drop weights; and 3) Whether I can use chalk. The staff (a young boy) at the front desk answered affirmatively to all three questions, so I joined the gym. Many Planet Fitness type of commercial gyms have noise rules - that was why I asked. Given the explicit initial verbal consent when I signed up, I was furious and felt not welcomed. I argued with the manager and then left immediately without finishing my workout. I came back a second time to get my refund (and btw they refused to refund my annual fee). Now the young boy who signed me up claimed I only asked whether I could do deadlifts. And he claimed that he had warned me multiple times. These were flat out lies. About two week ago (and a couple of months into my training), he asked me to put mats underneath and I complied. That was the only time that we had a discussion about the noise. I pressed for details about those supposed "warnings" and the boy refused to clarify. I've trained at the gym for four months at different hours. Most of the time I saw only teens at the front desk. The general manager claimed he never saw me before that day's incident - thus I realized that the gym never had proper professional management. If the gym decides to hire underaged staff to help, that's perfectly okay. The problem is - if the teens - who lack the professionalism of adult trained staff - decide to handle matters in a teen's way - customers will have limited resort. The manager pointed out that the gym has rules forbidding weight dropping (and I am not disputing their general rules), but the gym also has rules that people must wear their masks at all times, as well as you must put weights back on the rack. But the rules are never enforced. People wander around, or grunt heavily, a lot of them without masks especially the teens. I have been training for a couple of months and I was under the impression that it was a gym managed in - let's say - a quite libertine way. I told him that this club is among the most dysfunctional in terms of weights arrangements (and I have toured more than a dozen gyms in different areas) - every single time I went there there were always some weights on the bars/machines (sometimes only on one side) and I had to put those weights back by myself. Different categories of weights are often stacked together. Also, having three 45lbs plates only on one end of the barbell hanging on a rack without people attending is actually dangerous. When I pointed out these apparent irregularities, the general manager - rather than acknowledging that things could improve - exploded at me. He shouted that it was not feasible to have staff sleeping on the floor all day to observe gym etiquette and enforcing the rules - and he would not stand me "insulting" his gym. So this is an interesting development. But after reading other comments on Yelp now I perfectly understand that I am not the only customer who got shouted at by the general manager. To sum up - the gym is not professionally managed compared to industry peers. The training environment is passable but not among the top tier. There are a lot of teens who train here and teens have different manners. For the mask conscious people - I've been to gyms that stringently enforce mask rules but this is not one of them. People frequently don't disinfect the equipment despite the explicit rules mandating disinfection. The locker rooms are not dirty but they are a bit beaten down (I have only seen the male lockers). Its pricing point ($45) should warrant a better environment but it is not the case. And the last word I heard from them is - you are no longer a customer, bye-bye. Well indeed. That's just the perfect way to treat your customers, even former ones. Congratulations.

I had just enough stamina to make it from my desk to the closest vending machine and back. I was at my all time heaviest and needed a change, so I turned to Lauren Lauren's approach is gentle and encouraging. If you are looking for the kind of trainer who screams in your face and frightens you into compliance, look elsewhere. However, Lauren WILL challenge you. She WILL test your limits, but in a kind way. In my case, I would push myself extra because I didn't want to let her down. Lauren has her own studio. This is awesome because you don't have to worry about looking stupid in front of randos the way you would at a regular gym. I was able to really focus on exercising without feeling self conscious. The space is on the smallish side, but very well equipped, with everything needed for strength training, an exercise bike, treadmill, and a plethora of extras (balance board, bosu, stability balls, etc...) About 4 months after I initially started training, I was down 32 lbs and feeling good. My stamina and endurance had greatly improved. About 7 months after I started training, I was doing things in the gym that I thought I would never do--the kind of exercises that only "atheletes" could do. I also worked with Lauren throughout my ENTIRE pregnancy. She knew which exercises to modify and which to avoid. I was actually strength training with Lauren the very day my daughter was born. I truly believe that the training I had during my pregnancy helped me keep my strength and stamina up through labor and delivery. I don't get to train with her as much these days since I moved away from the area. However, she does provide written copies of workouts, so I still use those. If you are looking to make a change for your health, I highly recommend giving Lauren a call.
