A lot of these really low reviews seem to be people nitpicking certain aspects of the gym and not really giving the overall experience a rating... Or they have some sort of personal issue with the gym staff adhering to the principal that the member either doesn't remember, didn't read, or isn't paying attention to when they signed the contract.
When you sign your contract for a membership, they go over the things that are allowed and not allowed here such as no flip-flops, open toe shoes, etc... no bare feet, no personal promotion, having actual gym etiquette, (which most of you still don't have) not taking dumbbells out of the dumbbell area and not bogarting five sets of dumbbells so that everybody gets a chance, considering everyone else that's going there is also paying a membership and deserves to have the same access.
I used to be here before ownership changed hands from "World Gym" to "Legends" and I can tell you from experience that this place is night and day compared to what the last ownership group was. Almost everything in this place at this point is brand new or being refurbished, the layout of the gym is a lot easier to navigate instead of just a hodgepodge of junk thrown everywhere and you having to work your way through the gym like a maze in order to just complete your workout. Another thing that they upgraded when they changed ownership groups is that now everybody has to sign in individually, and they verify to make sure that the person signing in is the person on the computer monitor instead of one key card to scan and then six people walk through at the same time because nobody is at the desk. Now there's at least two people up at the front desk at all times to make sure that everyone who is coming in is the person paying for the membership. Just by doing that, I have seen a reduction in riffraff and people that don't actually pay for a membership contaminating the place.
The fact that the gym has stayed open and allowed its members to continue to work out while construction is going on, should not be understated as well, I've seen a lot of gripes on these reviews, talking about how long the construction has been taking, and that the locker rooms are still out of commission. The plumbing still works so while you're doing your workout, if you need to use the restroom you're still able, but refurbishing an already shitty locker room and trying to make it functional can't be a simple task, so I imagine once they do get them up and running, they'll have been worth the wait. Again, it just seems like a lot of reviews that are here that are negative are just sour grapes and people don't actually take time to appreciate all of the changes that have been made since this place used to be owned by seemingly an absentee owner, who only gave a shit about putting money in his pocket or people that want things done overnight.
They've also renovated other areas of the gym that were niche at best and now serve more of a purpose.
Thank you Legends for saving my gym. I appreciate it read more
