I hate the Gillis location! Tiny, raggedy, dirty, old cardio, especially treadmills, hot as hell!…read moreOnce my membership is over, it's over! All the money this club chain is making alone in Fayetteville and the locations are disgusting, raggedy, and need to be 19.99!! Those who have the grandfather rate, kudos to you, because I'll be going to Fitness Connection its not worth your money. The facility at Fitness I know is clean, especially the restrooms. I don't care when I go to Owen/All American location, there's no soap, or the dispenser is not working. There are cleaners, but it doesn't look clean, the paper towel dispenser is empty, the bottles aren't filled up, and the bathrooms before the staff leaves are a mess. The better facility is the Raeford, even though they don't have a water bottle fountain!
The next worst location is Hopemills! The setup is horrible, especially for an aerobics class. You have to share a fan, which is hazardous once everyone starts sweating and the windows start fogging up due to poor ventilation. We're not going to start with the tiny little people sauna at Hopemills, despite it being said that All American was getting a tiny sauna too. The location was closed for two days and reopened to reveal an unclean building with no new sauna or mountain climbing wall.
Raeford advertised new equipment being cardio machine, but I haven't noticed anything new.
Overall, the equipment is Old and dated, especially the cardio machine at Gillis Hill, the spin class offered in Hopemills, All American, and Raeford. Most bikes don't work, or straps are missing or broken, no fan, have your insurance active for 911. Gillis Hill's gym on hell, heat rises, be hydrated or you'll pass out.
I do like the gym manager in Raeford; he's polite, friendly, and not fat, unlike some managers at gyms. Overall, the class selections suck, and the good ones are offered only in the morning. If you have ever experienced Body Pump and you loved it, don't sign up at Fit 4Life, go to Fitness Connection, there's no class in Fayetteville, NC!! Spin, I will say you'll love it, especially with Tia at Hope Mills and Andrea in Raeford! They have a 5 am versus 6 am spin, which are the earliest during the week, but these instructors work full-time jobs. Aerobics classes doesn't have cushioned flooring so hard impact and you have to go on the floor to get equipment, it doesn't have its own equipment. Aerobics isn't important to the company and only one instructor is smart maybe two and have functioning head sets so you can hear them over the load cardio music, thank you Tia!
Can't wait to cancel my membership. They clean once a month, or every two months, dirty facility, and old broke down equipment.
