The good:
- The members are very respectful and no one steals or has any issues with taking things that don't belong to them.
- The equipment is well maintained and cared for.
- Open 24/7 but you do need to be trained on opening and closing procedures.
The bad:
- I personally do not agree with the way the owner interacts with his clientele. If you make a mistake such as leaving something out, the owner will post a clip in the chat letting everyone know you made the mistake, he will not address it with you directly, he will blast you within the group chat. Lastly, the owner has removed their own messages within the group chat to obfuscate his behavior.
- Additionally the communication needs work. I attempted to take equipment outside for a strongman event training session. The owner came to the gym with the sole intention of aggressively lecturing me and demanded I put everything back at that moment, citing his sign on the front for only bringing out "beater plates". This sign did NOT specify which plates and was also hung over a rack of rubber plates leading one to assume these were acceptable, and they were not. Which lead to a hostile message sent within our group chat stating that if this type of incident happened again he would revoke memberships on the spot. Later, he had to clarify within our group chat multiple times which plates were acceptable because members still did not understand. He consolidated them all to one place and stated "these ones on x machines" which would still lead to me taking metal plates outside damaging the parking lot and the plates attempting to do my specific training. There was no acknowledgement of fault on the owners end for this miscommunication. read more
