And I can't forget how kind the girl working the ActiveMeals counter was with answering my questions (on 8/17/23). She made the recommendation, then the smoothie, then turned my world upside down! (Don't get jelly, wifey.) The smoothie was delicious. But I forgot you're here because of the gym review, so read on fitness freaks. The front desk staff is nice and attentive. They have plenty of GB3 trainers working with individuals, as well as housekeeping staff keeping this joint clean. The space is quite a bit smaller than I remember from our previous visits 8 years ago. But to be honest, it just looks like they've utilized there provided space more efficiently, which is NOT a good thing. Being spatially aware of my surroundings, I set myself up near the straight and curled weighted barbells so as to provide space for those who need to grab their weight and for those to pass me and the person doing seared cable rows in front of me. Out of proper consideration, people were avoiding passing in both directions. I could have taken the barbell elsewhere, but those spaces were occupied by motormouths and other fitness folk. Another example of this was at the flat bench press. It is positioned painfully close to the decline row machine that, 1) the guy using that was courteous enough to move his bag but providing him little foot room, and 2) when he sets the leverage bar handles back to rest, the handles stick out with just enough space between them and the end of the barbell from my setup of less then 14 inches. Sure I can pass, or GE can, or I change my weight from an awkward extension, making me concerned that a less capable or older feller trying to put 45s on could likely injure themselves. I did opt to share my machine with a trainer training a person looking to improve their health, so that's always a positive experience. The machines are in average shape, but they are lacking wipe, paper towel, and sanitizer stations (compared to other GB3s and other gyms.) This would put my review of this gym at 2.4 out of 5 stars. What brings it up to the 3 stars is the smoothie experience at ActiveMeals. $8 price withstanding, they saved this GB3 location from a negative review.

This may not sound…read morelike a big deal, but I've mentioned multiple times that the front counter staff can use a lesson in decency. And as I suspected, without any of the ladies that ignore people with intention, the absence of their peer pressure allowed this guy some humanity. He said both "Hi" and"how are you?" This is leaps and bounds better than I'd ever experienced here since pre-COVID. He's allowed GB3's 2 stars to go up to a 3 stars.

At GB3, the dudes work out bare chested and some of the women verge on obscene revealing clothes. The music overhead is the worst. I've outlived my stay there. They can have it!

Pretty solid gym overall, but there are definitely some things that could be improved. The biggest…read moreissue for me is the layout. It's basically one large open space where everything is mixed together--treadmills, weightlifting, and machines all in the same area. There are a couple of smaller rooms off to the side, but for the most part, about 95% of the gym is just one big open room with equipment stacked everywhere. It can honestly feel a little overwhelming. When you look around, it feels like a zoo at times with a huge number of people bouncing from one machine to the next. That said, I didn't really have an issue waiting for machines, even when it was busy--it's just crowded almost all the time. On the positive side, they do offer a lot of amenities: a pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, and showers. I used the steam room and showers, which were nice, but keep in mind you need to bring your own towel and your own lock for the wall lockers. A day pass is $10, which isn't bad at all for what you get. Parking was pretty easy, and they also have a protein bar along with premade healthy meals available for purchase, which is convenient. Overall, it's a decent facility with good amenities and value, but the constant crowd and open layout make it feel more chaotic than relaxing.

Shouldn't take 3 weeks to clean pool grates, and kill bugs. Dont look at the window sills by the equipment facing the pool. Brown sweat is gross.

I really like the concept and training that Valley Athletics provides. There is a lot of potential…read morefor athletes to learn, improve their skills, and build confidence in a positive environment. My biggest concern is that I would like to see more hands-on coaching, guidance, and encouragement from the coaching staff during training. At times, it can feel like a few athletes who are more outspoken or eager to "take the spotlight" dominate the opportunities, while other girls don't always get the same chance to participate, receive feedback, or demonstrate what they've learned. I believe training should be a true team environment where every athlete has an opportunity to learn, make mistakes, receive coaching, and grow. Coaches being more intentional about including and encouraging all athletes would make the experience even better. Overall, I appreciate what Valley Athletics offers and the skills they are teaching. I just hope the program continues to focus on creating an environment where every athlete feels seen, supported, and given a fair opportunity to improve.

A few years ago, my daughter broke her leg, and Erik was able to tell without me saying a word. He told me by the way that she was running, he could tell that she had been injured in the past. I was shocked. Erik is highly knowledgeable in his field. One of my favorite things about him is that he talks to her and not at her. As a parent watching on the sideline, that means a lot to me. Erik is able to encourage her and push her in a positive way. My daughter has been working with Erik a little over a month and I can tell a significant difference, this man is absolutely amazing. Another fantastic fact is he is very clean and constantly disinfecting workout equipment.

THE ENTIRE GYM AND PARKING LOT SMELLS OF CANNABIS…read more We are aware of what occurs outside, inside the restrooms, as well as what some members were doing before they entered the gym (especially at this location). Other complaints I have about this gym are with the stationary bikes. They are too close to one another, and many need their bike pedals replaced or retightened. There are always problems with the speakers, which are not in sync with the televisions. Many of the TVs are not working, and management is in no hurry to address the issues. On a positive note, the weekend staff is generally warm and friendly. And there is usually someone on shift restocking paper towels, cleaning supplies, or doing a quick wipe down. Moreover, this location is not as busy as the one in Clovis near me on weekends. I do not have to wait as long to get on one of the benches or use the Smith machine. I also appreciate the warm greeting I usually get when I step into this gym.
