This is a meathead gym. And if you are into lifting, checking yourself in the mirror and grunting at the top of your lungs, this is the place for you. Guys do help each other, but the "smoothie" bar only really caters to the lifters and have too much sugar and not enough balance for the average Joe.
If you are a girl though, and not a lifter, be prepared to not be treated as nicely. I got leered at several times and one guy hit on me and was angry when I showed him my ring and told him I was just there to work out. After that, every time I'd encounter him, he'd state loudly that it wasn't okay to call women "sweetie" and hit on them anymore. Here's a clue buddy, we go to the gym to work out too and want to do so in a nice atmosphere free of creeps. Most of the guys aren't like that but there are a few guys who will just sit and stare at the pretty girls while they work out.
The locker rooms are really tiny, and in poor shape. One of the girls showers barely worked at all, and the other you had to really play with the faucet to keep it from shearing off your skin when you showered. There was no sign in the women's locker room stating that if you left your stuff in a locker (with a lock on it) they would cut the lock off and donate your things to charity. I had an emergency where I had to leave it for a few days and they took a brand new backpack, new shoes, a weight belt and cuffs, some headphones and my workout clothes and donated them to charity. My business card was in the front ID holder but no one called they just gave away about $120 in gear with no real apology except from the really nice girl at the front desk. There is a sign now, but you have to respect your paying customers and the owner really doesn't. He only respects the lifter.
The lifting equipment is in fair shape, but the cardio equipment is sparse and run down. A lot of the tethers and bolts are rusty and frayed and the handles of some of the stuff is broken down a bit. One of the treadmills (which there are only 6) was out for more than a week and a lot of the stuff is years and years old despite them taking a hefty fee every year.
So if you are a lifter, and are really into body building, I'm sure this is a good place to go to get advice, help and good bro time. But if you are a girl, you may have better luck in a more female friendly gym. And never ever leave anything in a locker, locked or not... read more
