Not only that, but the equipment, the cleanliness, and the overall merry attitude of the staff had me affected once or twice. When I had first started working out, I'd asked for help with my form from a mean looking jacked staff member, who in turn, with great class and charima, helped get my row right. Matthew is the man. Not only that, but to this day, every interaction I've had with with the front desk members has had left me with either a lesson, or a positive impact on my being. If you ever see a joyous brunette with a tenacious vernacular and mental acumen, don't let the head turning scare you away. She's a doll.

First of all, the facility, class offerings and over all work out experience are 5 stars. If you…read moreare a single adult you will love this place. No problem there. This facility is not friendly to Alumni families. Faculty/Staff/Students or community members are all offered the option of a family membership but not Alumni. Our teenager can not even come and walk on the track or play basketball for less than a $10/day guest pass. I don't expect child care, or other offerings for kids, but it would be nice to have a family pass so we can all get some exercise together. If you have kids of any age, stick with the YMCA.

I will not give them a chance for a third and do not recommend them to anyone not wanting to get into a fight at their local gym. Just a thought maybe get a big guy at the desk instead of leaving a 110 lb young girl as the only employee at the front to act as your bouncer.

I've been frequenting this place more often since this is where I train with my personal trainer. I can tell that everyone here is friendly because each time I go, there are at least 2 people that say hello to her! Don't expect luxury amenities here. It's an above-average gym with all the equipment you could ever need for whatever exercise! I'd say this gym is more geared for fitness enthusiasts vs. beginners. It does get pretty busy around 4 PM-7 PM for the after-work rush. I recommend going anytime before or after that window! They also offer after-workout drinks and snacks! The location is also very conveniently located with ample parking!

I've lived in this neighborhood for decades and remember when this space was Acme, so I've been…read morehere for a while. The biggest disappointment is lack of diversity on the staff. Even the new hires is only diverse in age but still look the same. The staff does not reflect the patrons or neighborhood and it's hard to believe that they can't hire from more than 1 nonwhite staff person. Representation matters especially for a chain business in an urban neighborhood. Do better with your hiring practicing and make more of an effort to bring in other demographics onto the team. The team is friendly and I enjoy visiting the facility but I would also enjoy seeing more diverse staff that best represents the diversity of your patrons.

The bad I could only safely use 2 machines in the entire place. I am 6' 240lbs and regularly lift my body weight+ But it was impossible for me to transfer from wheelchair to any of the machines due to nowhere on machines to grab hold of. I did get on ab and triceps machines but almost fell on both. They were able to take off the seat for the hand elipticle machine and I could use the rope cable machine but thats it. Moved away from my old gym that over half the machines had multiple places welded/or built onto them from manufacture to grab onto. Not "planet"? fitness. Perhaps if we have some more 10+ year wars and more GI Joes come back gimped more businesses might tap into their profits to accomadate us???

Lisa was my trainer from 1993 until she moved away from San Francisco a few months ago. She is…read moreincredibly talented and knowledgeable. She is also personable and fun. Lisa knows how to balance strength-building with injury prevention--she teaches strict adherence to form. Over the years, my goals changed and Lisa always worked with me to tailor my workouts. Lisa takes lifelong learning very seriously and she has applied this to her training approach. She has become very skilled in working with and understanding the needs of aging bodies. She became a certified coach and uses what she learned to motivate her clients. One of the great things about Lisa is that she practices what she preaches. She keeps herself in great shape and never asks her clients to do anything that she hasn't already tried (and perfected). I highly recommend Lisa to anyone who is serious about their fitness goals and wants to achieve them safely.
