There's a nice parking lot right next to the building and the place is never too busy to do what I had planned on doing.

She'll spot me for some heavy lifts and gives me some advise and great support. A good Saint Paul team.

This gym is pretty great for your average workouts. There's a decent selection and the staff is…read morenice enough. Also, it's clean, which is a big deal. I would highly advise against this if you can't afford larger random payments to come out of your bank account. I was interested in trying personal training, and specifically mentioned multiple times to please not automatically charge my card. I have a job that keeps me really busy and I knew ahead of time that this wasn't a long term commitment I was willing to make. Now after emailing back and forth and explaining the serious financial spot the fraudulent $160 charge, I've been told it's going to take 3-5 business days, and if I want to speak with the owner I have wait until the end of the week. It's a Monday. And never mind their fees this cost me with my bank, they don't seem to have the power to waive my dues for a couple months. Cute little spot, does the trick, but I'd highly advise against it if you're someone that lives paycheck to paycheck.

Statera is small and clean. It has everything you need including a bunch of free weights, multiple squat racks, cardio machines, and lots of weight machines. It was a bit difficult to find a time when the front desk person was working so that I could pick up my key, but after that it was super convenient since everyone gets their own key and can buzz in at practically any time.

I started at Farrell's (FXB) because I was getting depressed at the end of the second Covid winter…read more Thank goodness I did! I've lost so much fat (and gained so much muscle!) There's a 10-week challenge to see who got strongest/lost most weight, and a party at the end, and when my wife and I went, she was so impressed by the changes everyone had made that she joined, too! I've had THREE other friends join since then, and we bought a year's subscription for our employee. It's so easy to make friends there because everyone is going through such an intense experience. The joke is, "No one joins an aerobic kickboxing gym because everything is going perfectly in their life". :-) The other saying I hear is, "People join for the aerobic kickboxing, but stay for the weightlifting." Man, I never ever thought I'd be into weightlifting, but getting strong and gaining muscle (even though I'm in my 50s!) is amazing! The people here are so diverse...gay, straight, trans...no-religion, Muslim, Christian...people in their 20s and people in their 70s(!) I made more friends here in one year than I've made in the 20 years I've lived in St Paul. What a supportive community. It's all group classes, with an instructor and fun music, and it alternates between aerobic kickboxing days (using a bag, not going against another person), and weightlifting days. I had never done either before...and now I love them both! Definitely recommend FXB on Selby Avenue! :-)

My main gym is Maplewood, but I thought this one would be convenient. I knew it was bad but not…read morethis bad. The only time worth going is 5-8am so it is not packed, and even when packed, it is full of terrible gym etiquette. I am not even talking about cleaning off your machine after using it, which is overkill unless you are leaving sweat marks. But I cannot tell you how many times it would be packed and someone is using three machines at once, on opposite corners of the gym, with no phone, water bottle, towel, or headphones to even indicate the machine is in use. This is the same for people using three different sets of dumbbells while it is packed. Machines being in service for weeks at a time is to be expected, and even people being loud while working out, not a problem. However, even the basics facilities are rough. I went on a Friday and all of their water fountains were not working, no sign, and a bucket underneath one to catch a leak. I tried to fill my preworkout and a staff member told me they shut it off for the pool and he would fix it. He did not, I drank it before he came up to me and it tasted like straight chlorine. If I was a woman I would never go after 8am. The people are rough and unabashedly stare at women squatting. The no guests for basketball rule is a great addition, since the other St. Paul location (my old go-to) was shut down after countless fights and squad cars parked out front. It just sucks paying what ends up to be $35+ a month for a real gym that is not a real gym. At this point I see why people suck it up and go to planet fitness, snap, or anytime, while people who can afford it go to Los Canpeones or Lifetime.
