I have held off on this review for a while. So this would refer to about a year ago but I don't…read morethink a lot has changed from the recent reviews I have read. I had a membership and was getting some individual training and paying for that. Then I got breast cancer and after my surgery and during radiation I requested to put my training and my membership on hold but told them I would return as soon as I could. I can't recall now but they have a policy of putting things on hold for only a limited amount of time and then it starts back up again - even with the letter from my surgeon and radiologist. So they were charging me while I was recovering from surgery, etc. For some strange reason - I had imagined they would be sympathetic and might want to partner with me in my recovery. But that would be a big no. They had zero sympathy and insisted that charging me was just their policy and that was that. I was super disappointed in them on many levels. I cancelled my membership and of course that was complicated as well. I spent money on many months of membership and personal training I could not use and showed very good reason for not being able to do so. Just sad - helping someone recover and get their strength and self esteem back after traumatic surgery ... well that would have been a nice review to write. Just wasn't going to happen here.

Some of my thoughts and opinions since trying out this gym. I went at around 6:30 pm friday which…read moreshould be somewhat busy. My first impression of the layout is that. Its extremely odd. As you come in theres a decent sized front desk area and waiting room. The layout of the gym is pretty open but its quite small for a gym in my opinion. You can see the entire gym from the front desk (besides a portion of the turf) which feels weird when youre working out. The most strange part is how someone thought it was a great idea to place the cardio section as the first are in the gym as u walk past the front desk. I dont know how many people feel comfortable with having everyone coming into the gym see you when youre most vulnerable lol. Theres also weird sectioned partition walls (about 3 ft) to cage this area in. I think they could of done away w this. The other main issue I have is how the gym smells like dirty socks/ mildew Other cons: - only 2 squat racks and 1 smith machine - limited cables - very dated bathrooms/lockers/gym - like i mean it looks like the tuscan italian 2000s kitchen aesthetic - didnt see any 2.5lb weight stack for the cables/machines (this couldve been hiding, but accessories should still be easily accessible) - overpriced for what it is. I think this gym is worth $20 a month w an max annual fee of $40. As of 1/14 the basic membership is $25/mo + $150 start up + $60 annual fee - womens sauna light wasnt working Pros: - somewhat new machines (but not well kept) - incremental dumbbells up to 30 lbs or something - gender saunas and in locker rooms ( the co ed communal saunas that r near the pools are never clean and nice) - nice and friendly front desk guy (younger 20s/teens - has a nice turf

I am certainly glad I was wrong about that, and after one workout I was hooked. The trainers are excellent at modifying moves for beginners or if you have any physical limitations. The team atmosphere and the workouts are like nothing I have ever experienced at any other gym. This place motivates you to get better and work harder every time you walk through the door, something that I wasn't getting at my regular gym. I would typically wander around doing a little of this and a little of that and convincing myself that it was better than nothing. I guess that would be true if I was in the shape that I want to be in, but I am not. At Crossfit the workouts are laid out for you and the atmosphere makes you push yourself to a level that you didn't even know you had. I know that after 6 weeks I feel stronger and leaner than I have in a very long time. If you really want to make a change in the way you look and feel, you should give it a try.
