The staff is nice, the weights are in pretty good shape, the machines look pretty new, and it has everything that you would want to work out. Not to mention, it has a few racquetball courts, a pool, locker rooms, and even a basketball hoop. I'm not sure of the price and that is something to call about. Luckily, I get in for only $5 due to my profession. Overall, it's great.

This chain of gyms was bought out by Lifestyle Fitness…read more That's when things started going down the drain. I have been treated rudely several times by the employees. Either they are not trained properly or they follow the owners' directions (even worse). The employees (and probably the owners) know absolutely nothing about gym etiquette. Seems like they just bought this business w/o a clue of what a gym should be like to have satisfied customers. First of all, I have never heard of a gym opening at 10 o'clock, same time that the first class starts! Not even the courtesy of opening few minutes earlier to get the people in so they can do some warm up and take care of various business, like getting dressed!! They used to close at 8:30 M-Th (the earliest of any gym I've been), now they close at 7!! Incredible, never heard of such a thing. Oh, okay they sell 24-7 cards. So, I guess you're kind of steered that direction. That's pretty crappy. The monthly fee is as high as I've paid anywhere else. But now, I've not seen that monthly charge reduced to compensate for the shorter hours. They have all kinds of rules posted around the gym. You can actually walk around just to look at all the signs to entertain yourself (done that myself few times). And the funny (?) thing is that their own trainers don't follow them!! On two occasions I personally saw a woman trainer load the leg press with 4 45-lb plates per side and just leave it there ... for the next one to unload. I've been called a "ghost" by one of those working at the desk. I've been asked "to leave with me" by a woman at the desk when it was approaching 5 min. to closing. The same one that, when I pointed at the sign showing closing time half hour later, called her boss to complain because she would have gotten stuck there another 30 min. They immediately got rid of that sign and put a new one up. Every gym I've been, there is a courtesy of giving people 5/10 extra minutes to complete their workout. Don't expect that here!! Part of a gym's etiquette is to not bother someone while he is training. Don't expect that here!! I have been interrupted few times and once when I actually was under the weights! I see my review is getting pretty long. More on next installment.

I've been a life long practitioner of martial arts and found Wing Tsun within the last few years and knew this is what I wanted to train for the rest of my life. I really can't state strongly enough how lucky this area is to have this school, Sifu Randall is one of the greatest practitioners and teachers of Wing Tsun in the United States, I would even be as bold as to say in the world. If you are wanting to train in something truly special and effective Southeast WingTsun is the obvious choice.

It is a very small gym and you can absolutely hear everything, especially on the elipticals and treadmills. There were two women on the elipticals, having the time of their life talking (again loudly). I was on a nearby machine trying to listen to a book when my husband told them they were disruptive. As we were leaving the owner told us to never come back because my husband had actually talked to one of the women. The also said that he wasn't going to say anything to them and WE were the disruptive ones. We were equally entitled to be treated respectively as we also were PAYING MEMBERS of this gym. This is a very social gym with a LOT of talking. But hey! We found a great gym with with more amenities, machines and welcoming staff the very next day. So, thanks Stan you did us a favor.
