We'll definitely be back!

The place is grimey, nobody cleans their machines after using them. The lack of safety is insane to me -- multiple people just throwing weights, not in areas that it is meant for. People walking under, through, around your squat rack/machines is so unsafe. There is so much non-working equipment. It is way too expensive to be constantly busy and never have enough room to workout. Icing on the cake is I requested a cancellation due to moving out of state. Emailed, called MULTIPLE times, and consistently got ignored by Jordan, the one person that manages accounts. He requested multiple forms of proof of move, which I happily provided, and again was ignored. My card continues to try to be processed, I have called and emailed yet another person multiple times, and get ignored. Extremely unprofessional and quite possibly the most ridiculous place ever.

All of the workers and the members are awesome and that's one of the reasons it is so enjoyable. I go to the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) mainly to workout and play basketball, so I can tell you that both facilities are great. They fit all of your workout needs, and the basketball gym is great to go shoot around, or run a couple games. The gym has many different machines and tools including racks of dumbbells, bench press, cables, and leg press machines. The gym is also nice because you are told to wipe down the machines once you are one to keep it sanitary. The pool is also very nice, and you can go and swim to get a nice little workout in.

There is plenty of parking, the staff are attentive when you need them, and it is not a bad gym at all. The machines are hardly ever out of order, they recently added new equipment, and it's not dirty at all compared to other places I have been to. The price is great, their in-store items are reasonably priced, they're open 24 hrs... just great honestly. It is nice to see all ages and athletic levels coming in to workout; it is also a very diverse spot. Yes, it gets busy, but I never had to wait more than 2 min for a machine. Lastly, you can cancel online if needed now... that alone is a great perk nowadays. Overall, I'd give this PF location a 9/10.

A friend dragged me into StrongerLife 3 yrs ago and my life hasn't been the same since. I discovered things about myself that I wouldn't have dreamed were true: StrongerLife taught me that I'm (and, helped me become) strong, more flexible, capable of lowering blood pressure and blood sugar, more energetic, walk 2-4 miles a day with ease, improve bone density and mental acuity. There are options for every movement or exercise in the event you have an injury, or are post-surgery. StrongerLife is way, way more than a gym. It's a community with classes, events, individual coaching, challenges, workshops....and, a slew of professional, accredited coaches (the founders are both Doctors of Physical Therapy) who help us to be the best "old people" we can be. Turns out: StrongerLifers don't think of themselves as old anymore. Many of us (including me) feel we're living our best lives Right Now! We're vibrant, motivated, gain so much social interaction with good friends we've come to love so much. ALL of these things are making my "golden years" gloriously enjoyable. I hope you'll give StrongerLife a try! By the way: A group of us walk every Wednesday morning at 9am throughout the Kenwick neighborhood.

TLDR: My first massage with one therapist was the opposite of what I asked for and was painful and…read moreunhelpful. My second massage, the Ashiatsu massage with Ashley was wonderful. This is why I gave five stars. Tale of two massages: I've had two massages at this place. The first was a 90 minute Swedish massage. I asked specifically for a gentle, relaxing massage and specified nothing deep and "no elbows." Must be something about all of my trigger points that therapists take as a challenge because my whole massage was intense and full of elbows. I gave some feedback that the pressure was too much, but should have been more specific in saying, "I really don't want any of this, just a nice, easy massage," but the masseuse seemed so intent on what she was doing. I understand that massage therapy has many facets, but I asked for a particular thing and didn't get it. Like another person said, I am still very sore, but not in a good way or a way that has loosened my muscles. In fact I think my neck, which is where I wanted the focus, but didn't get it, is worse than it was because I spent the whole time tightened up by pain. The 10 dollar scalp enhancement add on is not worth it either, as it was just a small bit of essential oil followed by a minute amount of time with one of those wire head scratcher/massage things. I thought it would be delivered by the masseuse. My second massage was the two hour long Ashiatsu massage, where the therapist suspends themselves with straps and bars to perform massage with their feet. I had this service with Ashley, who was wonderful from the beginning. The room was comfortable, the table was warm, and she explained how everything would work. She was very mindful of my pressure points and checked in with me from time to time to make sure her technique was not painful. For anyone looking for deep tissue that's not filled with sharp elbows, I can't recommend the Ashiatsu massage enough. Use of the feet may seem weird in the beginning, but it actually allows deep massage spread out over a larger area, with long, broad strokes that feel relaxing. The treatment was two hours and I couldn't believe it was over as fast as it was. I felt great after. The environment is clean and you can smell the salt. Everyone is professional, despite my initial poor encounter. I would go again, but ensure Ashley was my therapist.
