A well equipped commercial gym with a women's gym section that is very convenient if you aren't…read morecomfortable with the open floor. Machines are well loved but rarely broken or damaged. If a machine is being repaired, there's usually a second machine to use. It's not as clean as other gyms but that is not solely the gym's responsibility. The cleaning stations commonly need to be replenished but there's also nearly cleaning stations you can resort to. Plus you get extra steps, win? At times it may be too hot but I see the benefit of a heated gym- it's not always optimal during the summer. For the convenience and practicality of a gym, it meets the standards. Nothing fancy but nothing lacking. They could use a better range of fitness classes. The only classic ever see is Zumba and cycling. You can't beat the amenities for the price!

Be VERY cautious before signing up for personal training here…read more The initial "free session" was mostly a high-pressure sales process, which in hindsight should have been a red flag. Some aspects of the program also didn't match how they were presented during sign-up (things like guidance around goals, communication, and support outside of sessions). I do want to say that my trainer herself was kind and genuinely good during the sessions I had with her. I don't think the issue is the individual trainers as much as the structure of the program. That said, I did run into a couple of scheduling issues where I showed up for confirmed appointments that had been reassigned, and communication overall was inconsistent. I also would have appreciated more proactive follow-up--I needed to cancel my last session in December, life has been crazy, it's now Mid April and I never heard from anyone again--though I acknowledge I could have reached out as well. *****The biggest issue, however, has been the cancellation process.***** The contract requires written notice through a specific support email, and in practice, that process has been slow and difficult to navigate. It took multiple attempts to get clear direction, and communication was limited to being routed back to the same support channel without meaningful follow-through. Based on my experience and similar complaints from other customers, this appears to be a pattern. This creates a situation where it's easy to sign up, but MUCH harder than expected to cancel. I would strongly encourage anyone considering signing up to carefully review the cancellation terms and be prepared for a potentially frustrating process if you decide to end the program.

OVERCHARGED BY $300. QUIT DUE TO NOT WANTING TO LISTEN TO RELIGIOUS MUSIC WHILE WORKING OUT; no…read morerefund despite agreeing on cancellation and refund. Kenneth is not the type to make conversation, will charge you more than discussed, and is 100% the type to force you to listen to Christian music, though not advertised as a Christian trainer. I was enjoying the convenience and accountability of working with a trainer so close to home, until I came in to Christian music again. I politely asked, "Could we listen to something else?" He immediately became defensive and asked, "What do you mean?" I asked for something other than Christian music and he said, "No." I genuinely thought he was joking; I think it's a given that you don't bring up religion or politics with clients and you certainly shouldn't force it on someone. He kept playing the music and I politely asked again. I even gently let him know that for me it is extra sensitive since as a lesbian, my parents' religion is the reason they disowned me. He said Christianity is why he's a trainer? He asked what I'd prefer. Trying to find common ground, I recommended Jay-Z, since he'd played this often in the past. This is when he became a little reactive and illogical. He asked if I'd rather listen to rap music talking about bitches and hoes and drugs--this after asking him to play a musician he loves and plays often. There are limitless non-religious R&B, pop and rap stars that don't mention any of that. He also listens to Kanye, who also loves Jesus and hates Jews--so no real leg to stand on. At that point, I said I'd like to cancel my membership. He said I was almost done with my 24 appointments anyway. I wasn't worried about a refund on the few remaining sessions, but I let him know I had been charged again for $300 and he said he'd refund it. That was weeks ago. There has been no refund. A copy of my initial contract was never sent, but I thought I could trust Kenneth. I would have rated Kenneth a 3 for affordability and simply advised anyone that doesn't want to listen to Christian music to avoid him, but I was led to believe I was paying for 24 semi-private session total for $300 to be used over the course of 120 days, per the contract and expressly discussed, which would be an amazing price if it was what I was actually charged. Kenneth and I had discussed that I could only workout in the morning and that I would go in about 2x/week--so 24 sessions would cover about 3 months for $300. I have been charged $600 since September, though I have not been in for 24 sessions.

The amenities are decent and they have a nice range of machines and weights, but there are no saunas or steam rooms to enjoy and decompress.

You can bring your work bag here and do some work before or after a session knowing they have a full cafe available with coffee and cold brew! I'm enjoying my time at this location since they have a four lane outdoor lap pool, but if you don't mind a drive check out the other location a bit more up 183 and see which location is best for you.

I just wanted to say he's really great at his job and it deserves to be recognized. Aside from him, I have also never had a bad interaction with the front staff at this location.

If you want to cancel, a $50 "cancellation fee" will be taken DIRECTLY out of your checking account. Also, instead of the advertised $1 "startup fee", they were gonna charge an extra $1.86 to "pro-rate" the month (see attached pics). TOTAL SCAM "PROMOTION"!!!!

Tons of weights but surprised to not see any 2.5 lb plates. Maybe I just couldn't find them, but I didn't see a single one. Equipment is nice and they have enough to get 90% of what you want done, but so many chest machines? I wish we could have more cable towers as the cable section is always cramped.
