    Great place to work out. Lots of machines and free-weight area is big enough that you can ususally…read morefind a bench to use without much issue. Big cardio deck, I've noticed the old cardio equipment gets replaced fairly regularly. Change rooms are always cleaned and there are lots of showers and benches so you can get in and out of there quickly Price is high compared to other gyms in the area but as they say you "get what you pay for". Plus lots of classes if you're in to that. It does it busy at times but there's enough selection here that you don't need to worry about having to wait around to workout.

    The club started great but sadly, the management there is terrible. The management has no idea how…read moreto manage and sadly, they will manage it into the ground. They literally know nothing except "it's corporate policy." There is no membership loyalty there and they do nothing to maintain or try to help their existing members. They don't even try. Take that in. Don't even try! Even though I have been going there a couple years, my price increase this year is $263 plus tax! I was paying annually so I didn't have to worry about payment more that once/year. They have my money upfront to earn them interest for the year but It worked for me. Yet I get penalized for it. It was already expensive but they just priced themselves out of the market. I understand that everything in this world is more expensive, but wow! A gym membership is a luxury and they just don't understand that people won't be able to afford that kind of increase. They got many new members (greater than 100) after a gym in the area closed and they had a special to recruit them. If they can do that for them, why not for existing members? They managed to get that through "corporate." No customer retention period. Even the monthly payments are going up (according to their member experience supervisor) yet they claim that if you pay monthly or bi-weekly, your payments will stay the same. Say one thing, do another. Exactly what happened to me. Also, they aren't keeping up with little things there. The womens gym has had to tred mills broken for 3-4 months now claiming waiting for parts. One of the tred mills has buttons so hard to get to work everyone avoids it. They took 3 TV's out of the womens gym. Why? The pool is down for maintenace frequently. Black spots on the ceiling in the womens shower area...black mold? Just all the little things that are accumulating. Some of their class instrctors are amazing...I mean AMAZING! They go around the room and make sure you have good form so you don't injure yourself, are cheerful and interactive with the class, change up the class a bit each day so it doesn't get boring, move at a pace that isn't so fast members aren't at risk of injury from the shear speed they want us to move, show options and have fun with the people in the class. Others instructors get up infront of the room and just get a good workout themselves.They don't show what we should be doing, don't show different options (ie: easy, mid and harder) or correct if there are poor body mechanics or interact with the class. One of them claims there isn't enough room to move around the room but she claims corporate policy says they have to allow that many people in the class. Again, corporate policy and metrics following without forethought into actual member safety. So sad because it was a great place. Now they are just corporate machines that act without keeping in mind the customer experience counts for far more than they realize.
