This is a great local gym that has proven to me that big chain have outgrown their client base. I…read morecurrently have an xsport membership but xsport has been slow to reopen. I was already thinking about canceling my xsport membership before all the covid stuff happened. Now I can say that since I found and joined gym addict, I won't be returning to xsport. Gym addict is a smaller gym. It looks really small on the outside but I can assure you once you go inside you will be surprised how much space there is to move around and workout without being bunched together. They have several machines, free weights, squat racks and an open area for stretching or any other exercise you can think of doing. The one thing they also have that caught my attention was the two heavyweight bags they have set up near the back of the gym. I love boxing and since my boxing gym has yet to reopen, this really saved the day. The owners are very helpful. They are a husband and wife and I would much rather support a family owned establishment then to keep giving money to a corporation that only cares about your money. You can tell the owners take alot of pride in their gym. The gym is always clean, the equipment is well kept a and up to date, there are cleaning/sanitizing supplies all over the gym. The bathrooms are extremely clean and have everything you need for after a workout in case you forget anything at home. You can also receive personal training here if it suits you. Overall, I'm glad I stopped in and joined. If you are unhappy with your current health club or you're just looking for a closer/better option, I would highly suggest you give Gym Addict a try.

Hygiene is the worst in this place. Everywhere you turn it's dust and rust. Sticky machines, smells…read morehumid no AC they open the back door for more humidity. It's a disaster. No one cares. Be watchful when you leave that gym, they'll keep on debiting your account. They'll NOT refund you. Mishandled business.

So proud to be the first to review my trainer…read more My wife and I have been weight training with Mercedes for just over a year. I started after losing 45 pounds on a Keto diet and my wife 32 pounds. Since beginning my training I have lost another waist size and I have put on roughly 30 pounds of muscle. Its been a life-changing experience and we made a friend along the way. I am attaching the before and after photo for myself and a photo of my wife and me at the one year mark worth of weight training. Mercedes has been amazing. She motivates and drives us. She provides a meal plan and support. Outside of weight training, she runs bootcamps and other programs for groups. Strongly recommend!

I would avoid this place and the owner's new venture. I was a member here and took time off because…read moreI gave birth and had surgery as well. This gym is closing at the end of Jan'25. The owner posted a YouTube video which he took down within 48 hours of posting stating he was in financial debt and having financial struggles and therefore was closing the gym. In the time I was out, my friend (who is a member) decided to buy me a 3-month membership worth $510 for me to get back into the gym, she specifically told him "it's going to be OK that she is not coming back until Feb 2025 and he said there was no problem" he listed the expiration date as 03-31-2025. It was shady to sell this membership knowing you were closing the business, and the membership would not be valid. I reached out, and asked how we can remedy this and asked for at least a partial refund back to the original purchaser since the membership was invalid. He has made no attempts to contact me back, I also made a claim with Better Business Bureau which he hasn't responded to the claim. I would avoid his new gym he is opening, due to shady practices.

The coaches (Perla, Rani, and Anais) are fantastic! I couldn't sleep the night before my first class. I wondered if it was crazy to start a new sport that I had no experience with. But after my first class I was sure I'd made the right decision! The environment is extremely welcoming. The coaches took their time with me and introduced me to the sport step by step. For the first few months I was going to classes once a week. Now, I go three times a week! I love UBG, and I couldn't recommend it more!
