The owners/managers know about it, but do nothing. My niece was bitten 12 times and had to be taken into the ER because it made her so sick!

I also hear GREAT things about the new ownership. My one and really only critique, is the kids room. It's sad and dark, and really just designed for some babies or tots. I have older kids too that just aren't quite old enough to be on the gym floor, or alone at home. Can we get a kids room update that is appealing for all aged kids? And maybe get rid of the fluorescent lighting, and dark feeling of the room? I would love if they considered these changes.

We brought my dad here to walk in the pool to strengthen his legs and while walking in the door he tripped and fell, knocking my mom down him, on the runner inside of door! The runner is not industrial, it's more like a runner you'd buy at Wayfair for your hallway at home. No elevators to help him get to second level to work on bikes. My last complaint is the customer service at front desk, two of the gals (Blond) are like dead fish! I just shake my head because well... it's not my business! Other than that, great facility and GREAT POOL!!!!

Cleanest gym in town. So much room! So much equipment! I definitely highly recommend Plaza Fitness.read more

I love plaza but do wish the rules were a bit more logical/reasonable…read more I see people doing heavy squats (up to 400+) all the time on the power rack without any type of safety stop or even a spotter. This is exactly how bodybuilder Justin Vicky died just last week squating 460lb (spurring me to write this). On the other hand, Plaza doubled the number of "Don't drop the dumbbells" signs a few months ago. Soon after that I saw a guy get chewed out for lowering some big dumbbells to the floor after a heavy flat press. He didn't drop them or even let them escape his hands, he just lowered them as slow as he could after doing flat presses, but it made a thud noise and that counted as dropping. So now anytime someone flat presses heavy dumbbells they've got to catch them on their knees while also catching their forward momentum before their head goes through the mirror in front of them? That's fine as long as you don't let the 100 to 150 dumbbells touch the floor and make a thud. Also, good luck if you have a shoulder problem because you'll be loosing your membership if you bail out of any kind of dumbbell press. In the mean time, don't worry about the other guy on the opposite side of the room deadlifting 405 and letting the weight free-fall from waste high to the ground with every rep. I love all the people, the atmosphere, and the equipment at Plaza. That's why it's got my 4 stars. But I've got to reserve the last star for when the rules become a little more focused on safety of the people and equipment. Honestly though, I couldn't care less about seeing additional rules added to the squat and deadlift area. I'd be fine to see natural selection and liability waivers in the membership contract work that issue out naturally. However, when the rules and the way they're enforced with the dumbbells don't allow them to be used as intended and in the safest manner (or even unsafely), that's not good for anybody.

This is an amazing gym... and I don't use that word lightly. I was planning on moving to Billings…read morebefore my company had other plans for me, but I did have the privilege of working out here while I was in Billings. The place is so clean, so spacious, so well-equipped. The clientele are all polite and clean and keep to themselves. The staff could not be nicer. The locker rooms are so large and clean. The pool has perfect chemistry. Towel service is done right. I'm so disappointed I didn't get to move to Billings- not least because I can't work out here. I would definitely recommend this gym, and I would hope other gyms would use them as an example of how to run a very high-quality gym.

Granite has serious culture problems from the Managment and owner. There's this strange dynamic…read morewhere most of the employees seem to be instructed to tell customers "I don't know" and point them to directly contact management via email. Which is cumbersome and a waste of everyone's time honestly. Then ultimately management will just brush you off, and give you non answers. Whilst also they like to give a sort of PC droid responses, as if they think they are speaking on CNN about politics. It's annoying because you're just a a paying human customer at the gym, and you just want another human to hear you and respond to you. But they won't. They waste your time and give you the run around about 10 different ways. Which makes you more frustrated in the end. The childcare is not licensed. Therefore they also don't have any accountability if you spot any problems. And the management will give you the runaround yet again if you just try to cordially speak with them about any problems. And when it comes to the care and protection of children... you would think any facility would 100% just want to do the right thing, and abide by the licensing regulations to protect children, which is also coming from the current AAP standards for childcare. Frequent issues with wildly inappropriate clothing, in what's supposed to be a "family gym" environment. I was uncomfortable with 3 teenage girls wearing thongs and g string bikinis in the pool area, and I just got non answers from the front desk again. And referred to management yet again. And management and the owner actually think that allowing underage girls to wear g strings in public, is somehow some kind of personal freedom choice that they "can't do anything about". But the basic laws about public decency in our city would say otherwise. The free weight areas needs a bit more guidance and regulating from the staff of the gym. There's pretty much always some goons taking up vital working space there, doing non free weight things. It's just kind of a free for all of people doing whatever they want, anywhere in the gym. And the manager and owner seem to think that that's just fine. It's very much like a low level budget gym vibe, like Gold's, or planet fitness, where very unserious people are doing weird things right up in the tiny free weight space, stopping you from appropriately using the free weight space as intended. Except here, you easily are spending over $100 a month for this low class vibe. The gym has the capacity overall to become something great. They have the space, and the equipment. But bad Managment and even worse ownership, with an elitist attitude that never seeks to serve the paying customer... it just really ruins everything the gym could have been. If they got better management that actually wanted to help people, and taught employees to actually do something and know something, and if they licensed the childcare and made a better effort there, and actually policed the spaces like the pool area and the free weights, so areas were used appropriately... then there could be great and massive enjoyment for all paying customers! But right now it's just a mess. An expensive mess.

Anytime outpaced the others in my book. It checked all of my boxes: close to home, open any time (they give you a key FOB for non-staffed hours), quiet and low-volume at the times I work out, and very clean equipment and showers/restrooms. I usually bike to this location in the early morning and there are only ever 3 or 4 people there with me. I can accomplish my workout without having to wait for a machine or weights and I love that I can use the training room with access to stretch bands, foam rollers, kettle bells, bosu balls, etc. etc. Alex, the new manager, is super friendly and will give you a 7 day free trial which includes the key FOB to access the gym outside of normal hours. They also set you up with a free goal-setting meeting with Stephanie, the trainer. She gives you your current stats and reviews your goals, works with you on a timeline for accomplishing those goals and sets up a free training session with her. There is no pressure to pay for personal training (OK, a little bit-hence the 4 stars) but the test session is well worth trying and Stephanie is very knowledgeable and professional. I have post-partum abdominal diastasis and she happened to have a book on specific exercises to heal the abdominal muscles for diastasis. Overall, very impressed with the customer service and attention, cleanliness, and accessibility. Bummed that the downtown location does not have more classes (spin)!!

I spoke with the director lady on this topic to be sure, and she confirmed it. Even with a clergy statement regarding religious beliefs, the Y still won't allow an exemption for your kiddo. It's disappointing, to say the least, and in a post COVID world I think it's crazy to still think that way. And I think the Y doesn't recall that they are supposed to be Christian.... It's right there in the name guys.

The employee I dealt with, Shane, came across as dismissive, rude, and completely uninterested in helping customers. Every question felt like an inconvenience, and the interaction left me wondering why someone working in customer service seemed so determined to make people feel unwelcome. A gym should be a place where members feel comfortable and supported, but this experience was the exact opposite. The facilities may be fine, but one negative interaction can completely change how people view a business. Based on my experience, management should seriously look into how customers are being treated at the front desk. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was frustrating enough that I felt others should know what to expect.

Every coach I've had has been great. They explain every step and are encouraging throughout the workout. The dark room and loud music definitely help keep the motivation going especially on tough circuits! Orange theory prides themselves on variety, you will never do the same workout twice. There are three areas: rowers, weight floor, and treadmills. During each session you work in these three areas but with different goals each time. They monitor your heart rate the entire time so you can keep track of where you stand the whole workout and it helps you understand how you are improving over time. If you want to utilize this feature you do need to purchase one of their heart rate monitors- I believe there are three different options right now. I still do weight training days at my other gym but this is quickly becoming my preferred method of fitness. Oh! And don't be afraid to go alone!
