Eastlake Athletic Club - Mold and rusty shower

Eastlake Athletic Club

1.7(16 reviews)

I have been a longtime member of Eastlake Athletic Club, particularly the Goshen location dating…read moreback to when it was known as Area Fitness. I used to genuinely enjoy coming here, as it was undoubtedly the best gym in Elkhart County. The previous owners were deeply invested in their members and clearly cared about fostering a high-quality gym and a strong sense of community. However, since the change in ownership--and more recently, what seems to be a shift in management--the gym has turned its back on its members and the culture that was so highly valued. The implementation of several seemingly arbitrary rules, combined with ongoing issues such as ceiling leaks, broken equipment/amenities, and providing substandard repairs and replacements, has significantly diminished the quality and experience that members once enjoyed. Some of these new rules include: 1. Discontinuing the use of metal weights in certain areas 2. A permanent ban on chalk usage And the recent and, in my opinion, the most ridiculous rule implemented 3. Prohibiting water use, including water for consumption, in the sauna In addition, the music selection has been drastically altered, replacing the motivating playlists that gym-goers had grown accustomed to with a lighter, pop-oriented selection that does little to inspire or energize members. Music plays a critical role in creating a motivating environment, and this change has detracted from the gym's atmosphere. This morning, I came to the gym for a workout and to use the sauna, fully respectung the no-water rule of the sauna. However, I was rudely informed by staff that the sauna was closed and was told to leave. When I politely inquired about how long the sauna would be out of service, the staff member dismissed my question with a curt "I don't know." Eastlake states on their website, "We are devoted to providing exceptional sports and fitness amenities to help keep Michiana active and healthy." This a bold claim to be made as decisions and actions do not reflect this statement and in reality have been nothing but a disappointment to it's members. The sole reason you have a gym is because of it's members not in spite of them. It's clear the owners Jason Evers & Justin Evers along with the entire Eastlake team have prioritized enforcing the strict rules over addressing members' concerns or fostering positive interactions. Members have even been threatened with termination of their memberships for infractions. I have made every effort to respect the direction the gym is taking, although it's evident that there is a significant disconnect between Eastlake and the members they serve. The recent threat to permanently close the sauna is especially concerning and would be a huge mistake. For many members, the sauna is a key reason they are willing to pay the membership fees. Removing this amenity would undoubtedly result in frustration and dissatisfaction among a large portion of the membership base. It should come as no surprise to Eastlake and its team if members begin canceling their memberships and choosing to go elsewhere.

DISGUSTING. The CR 17 facility is a disaster. I tried to your before joining but they were…read more"having trouble keeping it staffed" so I figured how bad could it be? The showers they have listed is actually a singular shower filled with mold and rust that smells of old piss. That is because someone pissed on top of the urinal and it's been there long enough to dry.... Decent machine selection and free weights if you like your 55lbs next to the 5's and the 10's on the floor and well who knows where the other sizes are... Are dead bugs your thing? Great, check out the should press but not sure how long this little guy has been there but it almost looks like a fossil. The no lighting approach really helps hide the uncleanliness of the facility. They have a few spray bottles scattered that may or may not have a rag to use to wipe down the machines. After your done you put the rag back for someone else to use and wipe down their sweat. If you go at night you prolly get a nice cocktail of everyone's sweat from the day or week, I've never seen anyone in there so not sure when they even wash those things. I'd rather go to the purple place where at least it's clean...
