Not only is Erin an effective trainer, she is fun to be around and creates a safe gym environment for all. I truly can't recommend Erin Hawkins as a personal trainer enough!

I've been weight training with Ashley Day out of Styrka Gym for a few weeks now. I will keep you…read moreupdated as I go, but so far, it has been a very fun, authentic and surprisingly empowering experience. - The gym itself has never been overcrowded. There is plenty of space and equipment to accommodate everyone comfortably. - I love that parking is quick and easy. (I was a tad worried about the 71st street traffic when I initially saw the address... but it's actually a bit removed from mall traffic... so the traffic had never been an issue for me.) - I love the 24/7 access pass. As a female, I feel very safe... even later in the evening if I'm the only one there. It's very secure. - Everyone's been very friendly, considerate... and everyone is REAL... I workout with REAL people (they don't look "plastic" or "photoshopped")... they are real people who take their goals seriously. Everyone you meet at Styrka is there to better themselves... and it's totally fine wherever YOU may be in that self improvement process. Even if you're just starting out, or it's been a while... and you're trying to get back into the swing of things... you WILL feel welcomed and supported... no matter your skill level. - It's very clean and tidy. The bathrooms are always clean and people are really good about tidying up after themselves. Love that! - Another cool thing about this place, if you have a question... people around are happy to help. (That might be the best part... that Styrka is a community...) It's not impersonal... you don't get lost in the crowd... And you actually get to put names with smiling faces. One final tip: If you are newer to the gym or if the correct form has always been a bit of a mystery to you... it's worth investing in some sessions with one of the trainers that work out of Styrka. Even just a little bit of coaching will boost your knowledge and confidence immensely. Don't suffer in silence. Having an expert guiding you puts you on the fast track to RESULTS! Hope this helps! :)

As a regular VASA member for six months plus, I have observed the gym's crowd levels, which, while…read moresometimes busy, are more manageable compared to other gyms. The staff's professionalism and welcoming nature are notable. The cleanliness of the facility is generally good, though temperature and lighting could be improved as it is very bright and very hot in there. My primary concerns are the use of tripods and video recording, which seems unrestricted, and the differing expectations for male and female attire, as the males are asked to keep their shirts on, while the females walk around in nothing more than a bra and panties. Implementing a universal dress code requiring shirts would promote a more inclusive environment. Moreover, moderating the music volume and diversifying the playlist would cater to a broader range of preferences as I'm sure most people would agree we do not want to listen to songs by Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys from their very first albums. I do suggest something more culturally diverse and less drag queen show. Thanks in advance.

I've been a member of planet fitness since 2012, today I canceled my membership. I've been using…read morethe riverside location for several years now and I've never had to many complaints and I've never voiced a complaint while working out at the club. Since last year there has been multiple incidents of older Karen's approaching me while using different machines and very rudely asking if I'm done with the machine while I'm clearly not, every time I say I'm still using it they then role there eyes or say something under there breath while walking away from me. Today another Karen approached me and again same situation happened, but this time after being disrespectful she then went to a manager and complained about me for not bowing down to her and kissing her feet and I wasn't going as fast as she wanted me to. She then pointed at me and kept staring at me while complaining. She then exited the gym. There was 100 different machines that could have been used for triceps instead she wanted to start a confrontation at that point. This is the reason I really canceled the membership, I approached the manager very calmly after she left and basically was just venting, I wasn't yelling and there wasn't anyone around us to hear out conversation. I told him that she was trying to start a confrontation and I didn't appreciate her approaching me like that and he basically blew me off, I wasn't demanding he revoke her membership or even chew her out, I basically wanted him to acknowledge that I shouldn't had been talked to like that. He wouldn't even look me in the face when he was talking to me and tried to dismiss my complaint like it's not a big deal and tried making me out to be the bad guy. All he had to say was I understand how you feel and if she does that again come and report it to him, I'm not going to a place where I'm consistently getting disrespected by members and there staff. He provided terrible customer service and I hope he gets better training on how to listen and not dismiss people with a legitimate complaint. And I hope with more training he better understands by dismissing complaints like that he is missing the bigger problem that when you have members who are clearly trying to start confrontations that needs to be addressed not dismissed because they are going to have a much bigger problem in the future because she's going to do that to someone isn't as nice as I am. The other staff at the club have always been nice and never disrespectful as he was and the fact how he was trying dismiss me and trying move me along so didn't have to do his job was pushing me to cause a scene and get even more angrier because how terrible he handled that situation, luckily I chose to be a bigger person and leave because I have way more respect for the club than he does. Whoever reads this review just know that if you have a serious complaint and your trying peacefully resolve it because of members trying to start altercations with you don't go to the guy with the mullet go to someone above him or call corporate because he's not going to take your complaint seriously and will handle it very poorly even if you've been a member for many than a decade.
