Stopped in last night, after a full day of travel. As a business traveller - hundreds of days each…read moreyear - this is quite normal. The facility is big! Or maybe it seems so because it is two floors. Nice open concept. I like it. The equipment was clean and in good working order. Weights were available in the area where I was, up to 45 pounds. Likely there were more somewhere else. My only "complaint" is about some of the patrons - and I haven't let that impact my review of the business, but... There were 3 benches near the weights. Only me and one young couple back there. They had taken all 3 benches - one to hold their phones, and one for each of them to sit on. I asked, politely, to use the "phone bench" and they obliged. I was doing some circuits. 3 rounds. Db press, shoulder press, push ups. Round one was smooth. On my second round, as I was doing pushups in the floor - directly behind the bench - one of them sat on the bench I was using and started doing chest presses. I had to wait for her to finish. Listen, I have zero issue working in with other people when it's busy - it wasn't - but, having to wait while one person uses 3 benches; including one to hold cells?Seems a bit much. How do we educate people on proper gym etiquette? Thank for the decent place to work out. I plan to visit throughout the week, after class.

Maryville Fitness is different, & it is exactly the right fit for me! At Maryville Fitness, you get personalized workouts/training in a small group setting. Dustin is an excellent trainer. He is committed to supporting you in your goals, very easy going while still providing the accountability and the push you need for training. He is very conscious of form and breathing. He is consistently supporting his clients in noticing what muscles are being worked & adjusting if there are any aches or pains (and the adjustments are just as good if not better than the original exercise!). I love the intuitive movement and embodiment that this encourages! Also, the atmosphere at Maryville Fitness is truly very welcoming of all body sizes & abilities, which can be hard to find in a gym. In addition to all of these things, I love that we can schedule our own workouts on our own time via an app & there are plenty of times to choose from. This has been extremely supportive to me in being consistent, which I have been the entire time I've been going - which is a big deal for me! Lastly - there are no mirrors and no intimidation! I could go on and on about how great Maryville Fitness is - I cannot believe we have access to such a great gym/training experience right here in our community! If you are thinking about it - just go; it's so worth checking out!

Truth be told I go to the one in Collinsville so my review will be for that one. Hometown Gym,…read morechill, has plenty of equipment, that is updated. Mark and Jimmy and everyone else does a wonderful job. Its affordable, and for the amenities it has its really good. The only negative is the hours, but I can work around it and make it work (its not that big of a negative). There are few few Gyms that have a sauna, indoor pool and a hot tub that I can think of in the St. Louis area, and none in Illinois apart from SIUE. This place is the best, stop by take a tour, and see if it works for you.

They have one power rack (which some dumba$$ was nice enough to use as part of his full-gym superset, so nobody else got a turn for a while). They have one squat stand (no adjustable hooks nor adjustable safety pins, and a Smith machine. Lots of other machines and cable stuff that I dont tend to use. They have cardio, room for classes, floor work, etc. Also looks like they have vending machines that actually carry recovery drinks too, and not just speed, like most other gyms. Kudos to them for that. All in all, it would be awesome if they had just one more power rack. Squat stands just aren't as safe for heavy lifting. That would push it up to 5 stars for sure. I'd say solid 4 stars on this one, would come back.

After check-in we are asked to sign in on a special sign in sheet which asks for our names, emails, where we are visiting from, and why we're visiting.

Of course they don't know our reason for visiting the area, but that's none of their business.
