I had a membership here for 1 year, but I had to change gyms when I moved to Hyde Park. Overall I liked coming here and they had all of the weights that I needed to lift with. The gym is only $20 per month and for that you get fairly decent amount of free weights and lifting equipment as well as various cardio machines. I also ended up becoming friends with most of the staff here. As far as cleanliness goes, I thought that the place was spotless. They also provide towel service while you are lifting, which is something I can't say about most gyms.
Most of the people that I encountered here were lifting recreationally compared to many of the other gyms I've attended. The gym is also rarely crowded to the point where you are waiting to use a machine. Although I've never done this, Cardinal Fitness also provides personal training for an extra fee.
The only thing that I didn't like about the gym was that sometimes they will try to close a couple minutes early, and they also don't have an indoor track or a pool. Sometimes I like running on a track because I get bored from running/biking/stepping in place.
Overall, it is a nice gym for its cost. There aren't too many gyms around for this price.
