This is Texas. South Texas at that. And summer time.
This gym was apart of my blue cross blue shield fitness plan so I figured I'd slip planet and workout here for a day. Got signed up for an account, super easy. Guy was very friendly and explained everything well.
The front room was a little air conditioned? Had some older cardio equipment which was nice. But still rather dated. But it worked, and that's what's important.
Walked through to the actual gym, and was at first excited. Then very disappointed. It was that old school iron plate, ivanco dumbbell, smells like grit gym.
Then I started to notice how badly maintained the machines are. The ones that had the padding in any sort of operational order were out of order. The ones that you could use, mostly, we're so far beat up I was a bit grossed out and didn't do a lot of the machines that I wanted to. That being said they did have sanitation bottles everywhere for you to wipe down the equipment. So it was clean.
They did have two smith machines and a couple power racks, which were in good working order. And all the bars themselves had great knurling and we're pretty nice.
So the Texas thing? Why say all that? It's an open air, no ac, and a few poorly placed fans gym. It's uncomfortablely hot. Most everyone smelled okay but honestly it was too hot to get in a good workout. Had the machines been in better condition it might be a little different. But unfortunately with the state of the machines and how hot it was I'm going to cancel my membership, mostly because I wouldn't be utilizing it. If they had the machines re-covered they machines wouldnt be that bad.
Friendly. Absolutely. Clean? It was despite the padding on some machines Well maintained and worth coming back? For this reviewer, no. read more
