Jackie couldn't welcome us, show us around, tell us what to use to clean machines once we're done, nothing. Couldn't even tell us how to check in when we arrive. I have to finally ask "do we just walk in?" When I ask do we get towels her response was "towels?" as she's standing there folding towels. You would think new members would get at least a welcome to the club and a short walk through. I guess for $15 a month you get what you pay for.

Management was courteous and let me in the door to workout in less than 60 seconds. Atmosphere - lift, go heavy or go home, love it! If I lived in Rockford, I would join this gym in a second. It has everything you need to get stronger and more fit. Squat racks, nice benches, dumbells all in tact, more calf machines than you can imagine, including one that will work your calves better than any machine at any other gym -- donkey machine. You need a poster of Arnold or you can't call yourself a gym -- these guys have one. The regulars didn't bother me and were also courteous. The only complaint I have is that now at home I have to go to a fancy gym where nobody is even sweating. Thank you Asylum, hope to see you next year. Dan

This review is for the Loves Park location. Haven't tried the State St. location. Posted my review…read morebefore realizing it was for the wrong location and can't seem to be able to delete it. However, I anticipate the review to be very similar since it's the same gym run by the same people with the same business structure. Loves Park Peak: The gym is spacious and offers a lot of equipment which is nice. However, customer service is lacking. You walk in and the front desk is more of a hang out spot for the employees to chat amongst themselves instead of being customer service oriented. It's a higher end gym, you would think the members would be treated as such. The classes, have the right equipment, but the up beat energy of instructors to motivate and hype up the members and command a class is missing. I took a cycling class, great music, great ambiance and lighting, but the motivation, excitement, and hype at the front of the room from the instructors was sad and lacking. I tried many different times and different instructors, but sadly didn't find anything other than lacking. They seemed nice though. I do come from a high end gym, Club Studio, in Irvine CA. where their classes are all one big epic party while working out with great ambiance, great sound system, great mood lighting, and top notch instructors that elevate and motivate you throughout the whole class. Sadly, they do not have a Club Studio yet in Rockford and I did end up leaving Peak. Couldn't really justify the price of the membership at Peak when you can get close to the same amenities at any other gym in the area. Good gym. Nothing special. Not worth the hype.
