    While in the valley, I wanted a place to workout away from home. I was excited to try this gym…read morebecause I hadn't gotten a chance to workout in the valley. I messaged crossfit on Facebook and asked if it was okay for me to drop in. They said yes and that the workout started at 10:00. I showed up to stretch and roll out at 9:45 with the impression that I would workout at 10:00. 10:00 rolled around and Jacob let me know that they typically waited a few minutes for people to finish coming in which was fine. It's now 10:20 and we are just now beginning the stretching/warm up/ plyometrics. I'm a little upset because typically by this time we should be warming up for the WOD. We begin warming up for the WOD at 10:30-10:35. We don't start the workout until 10:45. I unfortunately had to leave at 11 (which is the time it was supposed to end) because of a prior engagement so I was only able to complete half of the workout. I was pretty sad because I love working out and was really looking forward to trying this gym. I think this has potential, just needs a little refining.

    I was in town for a work trip and needed a good workout. I am used to high intensity workouts from…read moremy normal gym, but it's not a CrossFit box. The coaches, owners, and members made me feel right at home and welcomed me. I am not completely familiar with some of the movements (especially how to do them efficiently), but the coach was right there helping me along. Overall, a great gym with a good positive vibe. If I'm in town again I'll definitely be back.

    Gentry gym is a mix of powerlifing and bodybuilding. It carries equipment that other commercial…read moredon't have. The front desk is eye pleasing. The atmosphere of the gym is enjoyable, it gets you pumped to workout. Members are nice and especially the owners. I got nothing but good things to say about this place. I will definitely visit again... and again 5 Stars!

    I would strongly recommend getting the membership terms in writing before joining this gym, because…read moremy experience was very different from what I was told during the sign-up process. On my very first day, I was given a tour and explicitly told that the gym had no contracts, meaning we could "leave" whenever we wanted. I was also told something along the lines of "we don't have any secret fees." Those were major reasons I chose this gym. About three months later, I was charged an $80 "reup" fee, which is essentially a yearly fee. I had never been told about this during the sign-up process. I was also charged multiple $25 late fees. I keep most of my money in savings and transfer money to checking when I need to pay something, so I intended to manually make my payment through the app. Instead, the gym automatically attempted to charge my card at a specific time and immediately assessed a late fee when the payment didn't go through. To his credit, the manager, Rick, waived one of these fees for me, but I ultimately still had to pay one during the roughly six months I was a member. What really frustrated me was what happened when I decided to leave. Because I had specifically been told there was no contract and that I could leave whenever I wanted, I stopped paying and moved to another gym. I assumed the membership would simply be canceled or the payment would eventually stop being attempted. Instead, the monthly charges continued accumulating, along with additional fees for nonpayment. After about three months, I went in to ask why I was apparently being charged around $150 despite not using the gym. I was told that my membership was still active because I hadn't physically come in to cancel it. I then asked a very simple question: If my membership was supposedly still active, was I allowed to use the gym during those months? The answer was immediately no because of the unpaid balance. That's where I have a serious problem with the policy. I was being told that I had an active membership and owed monthly dues, while simultaneously being denied access to the gym because I hadn't paid those dues. I wasn't receiving the service I was supposedly being charged for. I also didn't appreciate the way my questions were repeatedly reframed by the manager as though I had received a service and was simply refusing to pay for it. From my perspective, I stopped using the gym because I relied on what I was explicitly told at signup: that there was no contract and that I could leave whenever I wanted. I now owe over $100 because I relied on that representation. I understand that Rick personally doesn't create the gym's policies, and he did waive one fee for me. But as the manager, he is also the person representing those policies to customers, and my experience was that the actual membership terms were substantially different from what I was told when I signed up. For me, the biggest issue isn't even the amount of money. It's the lack of transparency. If there is an annual/reup fee, say so upfront. If members have to formally cancel in person, say so upfront. If failing to pay results in accumulating membership charges and fees while simultaneously losing access to the gym, explain that clearly before someone signs up. I chose this gym specifically because I was told it was straightforward and cost-friendly. After my experience, I don't feel that description was accurate. Get every membership term in writing before signing up.

    Dear Daniel, You've…read morealways had a great business, you've always had great customers and friends. It's a damn shame there were so many haters in Harlingen and in McAllen with sticky fingers, five finger discounting your cash registers and your profits only because they don't own their own business. It is not easy hiring trust worthy people that are honest and know how to run an honest business and respect the owner who graciously gave them an opportunity to have a job. People think it's ok to steal from a cash register "WHEN IT'S NOT!" People need to respect the business that they work for and work as honestly as possible which means even respecting the customers time. You can do it again and I'm sure as long as you have the right people in place running the invoicing and the cashiering you will have a booming business. I've known you for a very long time and your original friends are the ones that know how much you struggled trying to find the right people just to build that "Body Building Group". Hey, man I'm sorry for all of your losses over time even with Russo's NYC Pizzeria, I actually got to manage one with Eric in Brownsville and another one in South Padre Island, TX. That is one of the most easiest businesses to run and it's a money maker. I wish I could afford to invest in one. Either way, I hope all is well with you and I hope you are able to overcome what's happening. I too am going through the bad business ordeal and am looking for employment. If you happen to want to open just a lean nutrition store in Harlingen. Let me know, just reply to this review and I'll be in touch. By the way how's Ronald in Mission, TX? God Bless you all!
