Mediocre equipment and layout. The 'He-man" section (free weights and different machines) is huge and takes up disproportionate amount of space, and the circuit weight section is crammed in with old and out of date machines. In fact, the machines are on the dangerous side, in that they are difficult to change weights and body size, and can slam down, or are just plain difficult to adjust. I often use the prior person's adjustments just because it can be difficult to change. They need to encroach some of the other space and made the circuit weight section more pleasant and update the machines. It is crowded, and people lurk next to the machines and carry on conversations with people standing around. The ladies' section upstairs has even older equipment and is depressing. Absolutely no stretching or ab area, and they tell you to just take out a mat and lay down somewhere in between the machines. Which means people are stepping over you! Very unpleasant.
The aerobic area has plenty of treadmills and eliptical machines, and is the best part of the club. They have a coffee bar area which I have never seen used, but a couple of soft chairs are there. They supply hand towels and hand sanitizer. I believe the locker room area does not have shower towels, you bring your own.
The new pool is an attraction for families with kids. Lots of young kids abound, they do have baby sitting area in the club, but the kids and families trek through the circuit area and machines.
This club has a captive audience because the Kent Island basically has no other choice. There are a few other small, simple work out spots, but no real club environment. It could be much better. My friends do enjoy the classes, but if you like to do circuit weight training, it leaves a lot to be desired.
Parking lot can be crowded, especially now with the new pool. read more
