Simply Strong has been the simply perfect choice for my personal training. As an older adult who…read morehas had 2 back surgeries and a shoulder surgery I had concerns about working with a trainer who understands the specific physical concerns related to my status and could tailor a program for those specific needs. That's exactly what I found at Simply Strong. This isn't a big gym with areas for cardio, cross training, etc. It's a small, family owned and run facility specifically focusing on strength training. On my first visit they reviewed my health history and we discussed my specific needs and restrictions. I started out with fairly easy workouts on 5 machines with one on one coaching. As I became comfortable with the the technique the trainers began slowly increasing the weight to get me to muscle fatigue on each muscle group. It's amazing how a workout in less than 20 minutes can leave you with limp noodle muscles in multiple areas of the body, but that's exactly the goal. In the 3 months I've been working out twice weekly I've seen the weight I can handle steadily increase. I have muscle definition in my arms and legs that I didn't have before, and I can feel that I'm stronger in daily activities like hiking, climbing stairs, carrying groceries, etc. Every time I work out everyone calls me by name. They inquire before every workout about my status that day, and if necessary we modify what I'm doing that day. At the end of the workout we review how it went. I think this is a great place for anyone wanting personalized strength training, but particularly if you are an older adult or someone with specific health concerns this is the place to go for professional trainers who understand how to tailor a workout to your specific needs.

In my time there I have seen young and old come and workout here with no issues. The gym being as large as it is gives a good selection of things to do. All the equipment is new and very well maintained. However it being such a great gym means more people and your typical busy hours are BUSY. 5-7 pm is a madhouse. If you can swing earlier or later than that I would unless you don't mind waiting for equipment. This gym has free classes that a treated as first come first serve which is very nice. My wife had done their spin class and loves it. Also they have included with membership FREE tans in very nice tanning beds. I believes they have about 8 beds and I have never had to wait for one. That being said if you did have to wait, they have comfortable seating as well as FREE fully body massage chairs in a dim lit room to relax in. I have been a member of many gyms and this one for what it offers at the low price of 25.00$ a MONTH! It's an amazing deal. I have one complaint and this I believe is aimed more towards gym goers than staff. The men's locker room specifically the bathroom side has been very dirty at times. I don't know if it's the carelessness of the members to splash water all over the sink and floor or to not flush the toilets and leave paper towels on the ground but come on, grown ass adults here clean up your shit. This is a very busy gym with people coming and going throughout the day and staff can't singlehandedly stay on top of picking up after all the dirty people. Clean up your shit. Long story short, 25$ includes gym, classes, massage chairs, and tanning. Try and top that anywhere else in the area.

The YMCA is a great community resource and does a lot of great things with classes, programs for kids, has a pool and a sauna and a Jacuzzi. But my exercise routine for years has been to use the treadmill and then to use weight machines. Planet Fitness has an interesting business model. They take over existing spaces, this used to be a Staples, and it's a really big space. For what I do this really meets my needs. Parking is much easier than at the YMCA. They have duplicates on most of the machines and they're not crowded together. To keep their costs low they don't have classes, fitness trainers, or a lot of other things. There are usually two people working and they are attentive to any questions or problems I've had. If I want the full experience of Jacuzzi, sauna, or other things I'll go to the Y. But just to have my regular workout Planet Fitness is very convenient and it's always clean. Recently I was in Bend and went to the Planet Fitness there. The parking lot was really crowded, it's in a strip mall. The machines were much more crowded together and it felt a little bit claustrophobic. But the staff was really nice and helpful when I had some trouble figuring out the treadmill

What kind of gym only has one staff member available? Since I couldn't tour, I stayed in the lobby and looked at the equipment within eyesight. After 10 minutes rude Karen TELLS ME I CAN'T DO THAT and that I need to leave. I explained I wasn't bothering anyone and asked why she's talking to a potential customer like this? But she said she wasn't going to argue with me and "At this point, you just need to leave." Jeez. No wonder Planet Fitness has a garbage reputation. I'm so glad Karen at the front desk stopped me from becoming a customer. Just 20 min earlier, I toured a different gym a block away. The staff were kind, respectful, and let me tour and try out their equipment as much as I wanted. I know it isn't too much to have decent customer service!

I used to love this place, but they started using heavy fragrance by way of added air freshener…read morechemicals not only in the automated sprayers in the bathrooms, but also in the overhead fan units about 6 months ago. You walk in and immediately get hit with chemicals, and it's difficult to work out in an environment (esp where asthma or chemical sensitivities aren't considered), and an owner that doesn't make health a #1 priority for everyone. Just go online and you can find that these chemicals are irritants for lungs and mucus membranes. Hello? We're breathing hard in there working out! In speaking with the owner on the phone directly, she made mention that people complained about the bathrooms smelling and thus why they now pump chemicals throughout. The solution isn't to pump chemicals into the entire facility. Keep it in the bathrooms if that's the issue. She wasn't willing to bend on reducing the chemical use. Very disappointing. I really like the atmosphere otherwise, nice people, decent equipment. I Just wish the owner had more tact around keeping the air healthy for everyone, as 15 minutes is about all I can tolerate in this place at any given time.
