Loooove Peoria Gold's! The instructors are the best around if you're into group fitness and if…read moreyou're not, try it out since it comes free with the membership anyway. The only class that doesn't come with the membership is Grit. It's a thirty minute HIT class similar to Insanity and it's amazing. I used to take it a couple times a week for a month and it does wonders. You'll see changes in your endurance and stamina. My running improved immensely after taking the classes and Nate, Kim, Taylor, and Holly are awesome, motivational instructors. It's $20 per class but you can get a month unlimited for $100 or buy a punch card. The gym itself gets a bit crowded around 4-6, so try to come before or after if you don't like working out around a bunch of people. No, membership isn't $10 a month, but you get what you pay for. Top of the line equipment, very spacious, and group fitness. They offer a free week pass to non-members looking to join so take advantage of that!

I have worked out in hundreds of different gyms due to travel and the fact I am old, and this is in…read morethe top 5 I have ever been to! The staff is so nice, it is always clean, most members clean after themselves and out the weights back, and you can leave your keys and bag out while your working out. They equipment is maintained, they have great variety and the recent renovation made it even better! I look forward to coming back to Peoria just because of Gold's!

Wow! After having been a member of a gym that was across town and 24 hours, I am so happy to not be…read morea part of that anymore. This place is awesome. Staff and the facilities are amazing. I have never felt like as valued and respected as I do now. I am so thrilled to be a part of this community. They are great people and give 150% of what people pay for. I'm hoping I can get my wife and grandsons to come in once in a while. Thank you, your manager Tye is amazing.

To get a sense of what Refinery is like, check out reviews for his apartment company: https://www.yelp.com/biz/campus-property-management-champaign-9?osq=cpm+apartments&override_cta=Request+information I called 4/16 and spoke to Bailey. I was interested in student plan $40 initiation fee, $35/mo. I visited 4/17 and dealt with the woman at the counter. I repeatedly told her that I wanted the $40/$35 student plan. She handed me a contract for a 12 month plan, which I did not want. After going in circles with her for a bit of time, she took my credit card and fiddled with her computer. Then she handed me paperwork showing completely incorrect charges. I asked her to reverse them and fix the problem. Eventually, she gave up and got her manager, Tony, involved. Tony worked on the computer for a bit and at one point, I had several pending $64 charges on my card. Then he seemed to have the problem under control and he charged my card $40 and $18.72. Since $18.72 is more than 1/2 of $35, that charge didn't make any sense for half a month. I called Tony on 4/17 and told him that I had several authorizations on my card still. I asked if we could just forget it all and cancel the membership and refund everything, including the $40 and $18.72. He said no problem, and I emailed him a copy of the credit card bill showing the current state of it. On 4/18, two charges moved from authorization to posted - $40 and $18.72. I emailed a copy of the statement to Tony and requested that he refund the charges, as we had both agreed. It's now nearly two weeks later and I still have charges on my card. I have filed complaints with BBB and Illinois Attorney General. If they don't come to their senses soon, I'll file a lawsuit in small claims court. Having all these authorizations on my card made it impossible for me to shop for groceries for three days. I wish businesses were much more careful with charges that they post to customer cards. Accidental charges aren't just frustrating to see and resolve, they can have unanticipated consequences for cardholders. For more information on management personnel and their names, check the BBB listing for Refinery. DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS GYM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE
