I'm coming up on my one year mark and I can honestly say it has been one of the best things I've ever done for myself! I never felt great about any gyms I've belonged to in the past. I'm not a huge group class person, and personal training has always been $$$$$. Enter: semi-personal training! Basically, each of the trainers here has a few clients at one time, but it still feels, well... personal. You get your own workout, there are just others around you doing theirs, and it actually adds a fun element of community at the same time. Instead of working out so hard that you can barely walk the next morning, the approach here is more reasonable and based on intentional repetition vs. killing yourself. I typically do three circuits made up of 3-4 exercises, 3-4 times each. My muscle growth has been slow but extremely consistent, and I'm finally seeing the exact results I've always wanted. Working out three times per week at Blue Ocean has kept me feeling so strong and healthy. As a bonus, when I have to travel for work, I can pause my membership--and they even give me workouts to do on the road. The trainers are fantastic people, and the clientele is great, too. I look forward to belonging to Blue Ocean for a long time!

I am extremely disappointed with how this gym has handled a membership cancellation and subsequent…read morebilling dispute. I first requested that my daughter's membership be canceled at the end of September 2025. I followed up again in October, spoke directly with the owner, Greg, in November, and raised the issue again in December. In December, Greg specifically told me that the membership had been canceled when I originally requested it. I relied on that representation. I recently discovered that I had continued to be charged approximately $145 per month for my daughter's membership for roughly a year despite those repeated cancellation requests. When I brought the issue to Greg's attention, I was then told that I had supposedly signed a one-year contract and that I had never completed the required cancellation form. I dispute both claims. My daughter's membership was arranged over the phone, and I do not recall ever signing or receiving a written one-year contract. I have now formally requested that the gym provide me with the agreement it claims I signed. There is also a disagreement regarding the membership price. Greg stated that my daughter's membership was $99 per month. That was not her rate. The $99 rate was a separately discussed rate for my boyfriend based on his circumstances and being a teacher. My daughter's charges were approximately $145 per month. Today, September 25, 2026, I personally delivered Greg a formal written dispute concerning the charges. I simply handed him the letter and told him that I would not be letting the matter go. Rather than keeping the interaction focused on the billing dispute, Greg told me this was why he "can't do people favors," accused me of "making a scene" and making people uncomfortable, told me I could leave, and stated that he would be canceling my membership. I found that response particularly disappointing. A customer should be able to dispute approximately a year of recurring charges and request documentation supporting those charges without the conversation becoming personal. For clarity, the billing dispute remains unresolved as of the date of this review. I have formally requested the alleged signed contract, the applicable cancellation requirements, the recurring-payment authorization, a complete accounting of the charges, and reimbursement of the disputed amounts. I have also provided the gym with the dispute by hand delivery, certified mail, and email. I will update this review if and when the gym provides the requested documentation or resolves the disputed charges. This review reflects my personal experience and the status of the dispute as of September 25, 2026.

It definitely attracts a specific crowd. I didn't feel intimidated because I'm so used to going to different gyms having moved around a lot, but I could see how one may be turned off by the vibe. I personally appreciated the metal music because it made me want to push myself, but not for everyone. I went with a friend because she wanted to check it out and she did end up signing up out of convenience being close by her work but she ended up cancelling. There was a woman who was just working out that offered to show us how to use a machine I'd never seen before. She was very friendly and so happened to be an instructor so we knew we were being taught correctly. It wasn't as crowded as club fitness, but definitely more serious gym goers. Take what you will from this!

Found in the little business center in the THF Valley by the hilton, F45 is a new workout brand to the STL area. The facility is large, with cubbies and sweat towels, along with a few showers for those on the go. Chelsea & Levi clearly care about growing their own community of happy, supportive, enthusiastic members that know each other. Out of 5 workouts I've taken, they've both been there, cheering us on, checking our form, high fiving between stations. The workouts: Alternating between cardio and resistance days, each workout varies from the prior of that same format, moving quickly between sets and stations. For someone new to working out, the number of stations and where to go next may seem intimidating, but there's a video screen showing each move, and where to go next, plus they show the moves before starting. For the seasoned athlete such as myself, I've enjoyed the mix of equipment used in New ways. Trx, pull up bars, rowers, ropes, and even sledgehammers have been some recent accessories I've enjoyed. The equipment/workouts can all be modified for whatever level of fit someone's at, but my recommendation is to know some basic weightlifting terms and form before trying F45 - not that you can't learn them during class, but so you can max the time during each station working instead of learning. So far, the classes have been fun, challenging, & welcoming.

However, in this city rec center I'm hard-pressed to think what someone might want that's not here. Outdoor workout equipment for the few comfortable days we have in St. Louis? An outdoor track? Perhaps a sauna? Renaud has an indoor pool with open (general) swim area, lap lanes, water features, and a hot tub. The gym includes workout machines and free weights. Cycling, rowing, walking and stair machines are nearby. Personal trainers can coach you for additional cost. The gym has multiple basketball courts for half-court play or single shooting practice, plus volleyball courts. A 1/10-mile overhead walking track circles the workout area and overlooks the basketball activity. At additional cost to the reasonable single, couple or family memberships are dozens of classes on health, fitness, personal growth, and entertainment for adults and children. Locker rooms include showers and no-charge locks are available. Convenient parking.

So, things were great here for about 10 years.

Somehow, my trainer even knew about the Jan 6 resurrection before it even happened. Then there was COVID-19, with claims of it being a "plandemic" and the refusal to close the gym per county directive, and refusal to get vaccinated or wear a mask in public. I was able to ignore all of this as I found it to be quite entertaining and often very funny. Over time, however, it became less funny, and a problematic distraction to a good training session. I do, however, recommend the CrossFit philosophy of fitness, and this gym is one of the best-equipped in the state.
