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.

My advice to ALL staff is... don't change a thing! You're all great!

I have worked out at other Planet Fitness facilities without any issue. The associate Ben was rude, unprofessional, and acted like he worked as a bouncer at a nightclub. The manager Destiny also was rude, and has no people skills or customer service skills whatsoever. I work in customer service and management and I could not believe how awful their attitudes are. You hired the wrong people to work with the general public and for your valued, paying current members. I was shocked by how terrible your staff is and I think your members deserve better. I will be most likely canceling.

She's been rude and kicked us out because of the shoes that i've worn and yesterday night March march 4 I went to work out with my dad and my brother and we went to work out on legs and we went to the leg press machine and somehow the screw went flying and hit my brother's leg not an issue for me I told him I don't know what they did, but the machine wasn't working not only that machines has been not working but other ones around it are also not OK. I had fallen from one two days prior and the seat fell down i know the gym has great potential Just the leaders that run it isn't okay the workers there quite literally have to do everything. They are the coolest people,just 2 ladies that have a problem with me Don't know for what but i hope someone can investigate it and change management

I walked in expecting to learn the basics of Pilates form as well as learning the basics of the reformer. The instructor Aileen provided the basics and a whole lot more!! Not only did we go through the basics of Pilates, including breath work, pelvic positioning, and technique, but we learned so much about the history of Pilates. While we performed basic movements the reformer, Aileen went into great detail about where Pilates originated during the war and how it became to be the widely loved practice it is today. This was definitely a beginners class so I wouldn't recommend if you're already experienced with the various pieces of equipment including the reformer and the chair.
