And I can't forget how kind the girl working the ActiveMeals counter was with answering my questions (on 8/17/23). She made the recommendation, then the smoothie, then turned my world upside down! (Don't get jelly, wifey.) The smoothie was delicious. But I forgot you're here because of the gym review, so read on fitness freaks. The front desk staff is nice and attentive. They have plenty of GB3 trainers working with individuals, as well as housekeeping staff keeping this joint clean. The space is quite a bit smaller than I remember from our previous visits 8 years ago. But to be honest, it just looks like they've utilized there provided space more efficiently, which is NOT a good thing. Being spatially aware of my surroundings, I set myself up near the straight and curled weighted barbells so as to provide space for those who need to grab their weight and for those to pass me and the person doing seared cable rows in front of me. Out of proper consideration, people were avoiding passing in both directions. I could have taken the barbell elsewhere, but those spaces were occupied by motormouths and other fitness folk. Another example of this was at the flat bench press. It is positioned painfully close to the decline row machine that, 1) the guy using that was courteous enough to move his bag but providing him little foot room, and 2) when he sets the leverage bar handles back to rest, the handles stick out with just enough space between them and the end of the barbell from my setup of less then 14 inches. Sure I can pass, or GE can, or I change my weight from an awkward extension, making me concerned that a less capable or older feller trying to put 45s on could likely injure themselves. I did opt to share my machine with a trainer training a person looking to improve their health, so that's always a positive experience. The machines are in average shape, but they are lacking wipe, paper towel, and sanitizer stations (compared to other GB3s and other gyms.) This would put my review of this gym at 2.4 out of 5 stars. What brings it up to the 3 stars is the smoothie experience at ActiveMeals. $8 price withstanding, they saved this GB3 location from a negative review.

Dipping into year number 3 of absolutely consistent focused weight training. Even as I'm leaving…read morethe gym, I can't WAIT to get back in! I've increased my days and am now also doing the treadmill, too. Whatever insomnia I initially suffered from was RESOLVED the first week of training. It's virtually impossible to NOT fall asleep in 3-4 minutes and I mean EVERY NIGHT! That alone was worth getting busy, stopping with making excuses and taking greater responsibility for MY "HEALTH SPAN." Who else gonna do that? It's a super disciplined time of my life and that extends to every habit, what I eat, drink, watch, listen to, allow myself to be around and it's GOOD! I give all glory to God for giving me clarity with each issue, to not dither on important matters! I AM thinking about tomorrows! This gym, its variety, the proximity and the range of what's possible over time is intriguing. As a sci-fi fan, who years ago named his 'voice-controlled' home, "Moon Base Alpha," the design of this gym compliments my aesthetic. EVERY cell in your body will benefit and it doesn't hurt that I look like a freaking stud! lol Didn't set out that way, but I'll take it 'cause it came along with targeting my insomnia through weight training. Lot's of hormones going on at any gym and it's not hard to shut down 'the look' from both guys and gals. Psst, take a number! lol In no way is the gym a social thing for me. It's the most greedy/selfish time of the day, by NECESSITY! Any air expended beyond that to achieve lift is conserved! The greatest gains I've made have been with prep/warm ups and doing each lift to exhaustion with only '1 or none' left in the tank. Not hard to understand, it's a stimulus/response sending the signals to the cells to BUILD capacity. But here's the thing... Dedicated and consistent exercise/weight training WILL improve EVERY organ in the body when combined with a solid diet and hydration with unsweetened water. A case could be made for some carbs doing an intense, longer training demand. I'm using 50% watermelon juice and 50% water. Occasionally, post-workout I hit "ultra filtered milk" and some ovalteen. Although I'm not lactose intolerant, that u-filted milk is much higher in protein and calcium so I'm upping my intake. I do NOT use powders, creatine or health related 'products,' bars, drinks... Instead I use REAL foods, full of fiber and eat proteins with meals, tons of grains, fruits, veggies, nuts, yogurt, etc. I do NOT buy into all the gym bodybuilding hype out there with folks 'selling' stuff. And I know from my own gains that 'the fundamentals' are safer and it's working. As a guy with a mesomorph body type, it's getting good! Viking ancestor genes ACTIVATE! As expected, IF one does not simply begin somewhere, build gradually, and then put that work in, you may be kicking important cans down the road. With the understanding that there ARE 168 hours in the week, I asked myself 'how MANY of those hours are folks/myself actually investing/using to exercise?' It's an interesting question. All the personal benefits, gains, enhancements in body/mind/soul--the disease avoidance/mitigations possible--are among the things that I've come to most value. KNOWING the efforts are sound. And even if you're not 'shopping' it's always nice to be noticed positively. Like any tool used to accomplish a task, the gym is perhaps the most significant one I have to take advantage of and I'm grateful to the Lord for always providing what I most need, insight! Walking into the right decisions is critical! I can only imagine how this consistent effort will preserve and enhance function, independence and ability into every season of life! Highly social elsewhere, when I enter any GB3, it's TIME to get busy. The world stops turning, I don't respond to calls or texts. Here, I'm selfish and focused 'by NECESSITY!' The most talking likely to come from me is relegated to asking someone, "How many sets left?" :) -G

Pretty solid gym overall, but there are definitely some things that could be improved. The biggest…read moreissue for me is the layout. It's basically one large open space where everything is mixed together--treadmills, weightlifting, and machines all in the same area. There are a couple of smaller rooms off to the side, but for the most part, about 95% of the gym is just one big open room with equipment stacked everywhere. It can honestly feel a little overwhelming. When you look around, it feels like a zoo at times with a huge number of people bouncing from one machine to the next. That said, I didn't really have an issue waiting for machines, even when it was busy--it's just crowded almost all the time. On the positive side, they do offer a lot of amenities: a pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, and showers. I used the steam room and showers, which were nice, but keep in mind you need to bring your own towel and your own lock for the wall lockers. A day pass is $10, which isn't bad at all for what you get. Parking was pretty easy, and they also have a protein bar along with premade healthy meals available for purchase, which is convenient. Overall, it's a decent facility with good amenities and value, but the constant crowd and open layout make it feel more chaotic than relaxing.

The pool deck screens are covered with yuck, flying bugs in the handicap shower, today paper and old bandaids on the cement. Water was cloudy last Monday and Tuesday pool was closed.

Shouldn't take 3 weeks to clean pool grates, and kill bugs. Dont look at the window sills by the equipment facing the pool. Brown sweat is gross.

If you…read morepark in the red zone speculation is that you get a ticket; we parked in the parking lot adjacent to this building. If you come and play on court, 1 or 3 bring a fan. It is hot in this building that is made out of metal. You have a lady policing the gym to see if everybody has a bracelet to get in and has paid; so don't try sneaking in or she's gonna come looking for you. It didn't really look like you had to pay. It looks like a snack bar so that is where you pay. When a place is hosting such a big event there should be some sort of flowing air. When you have a place that is charging you to get in and there is no AC running, kind of doesn't make sense. The kids were grinding for sure but it was tough watching the game. When I asked the police lady where the money was going if not to central air she said "you don't have to come." Not a bad comeback to my sarcastic question.

Another fantastic fact is he is very clean and constantly disinfecting workout equipment.
