This is still a decent gym after a re-visit. I was in between gyms. I had just divorced myself…read morefrom CBRC, but still wanted a gym. Years ago I had lived in Kennewick, and I used to go to a gym called World Gym. It was nicely-sized (not microscopic or gargantuan). It had the basics: pool, basket ball court, cardio, weights, steam rooms, juice bar, etc. The most important thing: it was new. So this place was super clean. The pool was crystal clear. The basketball court floor had a mirror shine. I was falling for my gym. But then I moved to Richland, away from World Gym, and awkwardly started "dating" the CBRC. I had broken up with her years ago, too. But they were close to where I lived. We had a tumultuous, expensive, and dirty relationship. I finally had the guts to call it quits. Enter Kia Ora. You see, World Gym is now Kia Ora Fitness. I had daydreamed about her all the time when I was at CBRC. I missed her. So, yeah. Even if she changed her name (I hope she didn't change her name just to escape me!), I still wanted her back. I joined up for a cool 8-Week Study deal they had going. For $50 I could go to this gym for 2-months. I just had to make sure to take 3-classes a week. This was harder than I thought. My schedule can be busy, so it was hard to make all the classes I wanted, but I made it work. The classes were a little hard for me to get used to at first. Although I didn't like CBRC, I did like their excellent instructors. But yeah, after a while, the Kia Ora instructors grew on me, and they were awesome. I pretty much just did the classes here (3-classes/week is tough to make!). I should say that World Gym....errr...Kia Ora has lost some of her shine. The machines are a little dusty, the pool is a little cloudy with green spots on the floor, the basketball floor is scuffed and a little battered. So yeah, she was a little aged, but y'know. She's still a nice gym. It wasn't ever super crowded (although the Sunday Body Flow class would get packed). The people here were cool. The staff here are nice. Oh, I didn't like the RPM class. This class was always packed. I guess you have to reserve bikes ahead of time. I had my towel on a bike and stepped out for a sec and found my towel on the floor. Jerk! Guy didn't even say anything to me. Anyway, they seemed pretty stuck up in here, and that was the last I tried RPM. Overall, it's a decent gym. It's independently-owned. And the people are nice here---for the most part. (This is my favorite gym in the Tri-Cities, so far. I just hope they survive the Gold's Gym Invasion. I just signed up for the new one being built in Richland.)

I wasn't entirely impressed by this gym when we signed up but I loved the idea that it is 24 hours…read moreand that they had separate saunas for men and women. It was important to us that my daughter(16) could access the gym any time after staffed hours. Two employees assured me that she would have full access. (For clarity she just wanted to be able to go to the gym after work. Gym is unstaffed after 8pm and sometimes she was off at 8:45) She utilized the gym after staffed hours numerous times, until the other day she was not allowed entry. I went to the gym and let her in thinking it was a malfunction with her finger print. The next day I received an email with a list of penalties and fees for letting a minor enter after staffed hours. This information was not included in our welcome package and when I contacted the gym, the receptionist assured me she was a full access member. He was unsure of the issue. I was still waiting for a call back from a manager or the owner. Yesterday I went to the gym and was working out when the female owner interrupted me to give me unsolicited advice on where and how I was performing my box jumps. I kindly declined her suggestion . As she walked away she yelled "you'll break your shins doing that" I informed her that I am a personal trainer but thank you. Side note: she was literally walking around the gym without socks or shoes. I approached the male owner to discuss the issue and she just couldn't help herself. She just had to try and get her point across. Even after I told her I wasn't speaking to her. Carl said he could cancel my membership for me with out penalty. I am going to check tomorrow to see if it's been done.
