Unlike other gyms, there's less people filming themselves (which is F**King stupid). NO phones on in lockerrooms. I've been to a thousand gyms in my life. This is a better one.

Going in the evening you risk not being able to find a parking spot (happened to me last night at 6:30). There's no where else near by to park and walk that is safe, especially when it's dark out.

I recently signed my grandson up for swim lessons and I was extremely impressed at how the instructor handles and teaches the kids. After reading some of the scathing reviews from 2019, my suspicion is that the staff has completely changed over prior to 2020. I'd recommend giving this place another try. The facility is clean, all of the weight machines are in working order. Unlike other places I have swam at, if the lap lanes are filled up when I or another shows up, the lifeguard always opens up another lane for us lap swimmers.

They provide clean towels and clean restrooms with a shower. Jordan is awesome and the care he puts into maintaining the space and the equipment is evident every time you visit. If I had the money and space to build a home gym, I would, but thankfully because of Train I always have a clean, quiet, and often empty space to get my workouts done. It's almost a secret that's too good to keep!

You don't have to be a member of the Brown County Community YMCA to visit! Just pay a small fee,…read moreand you get access to all of the facilities. One of the cool and unusual features about this YMCA is that the swimming pool is salt water! And it's huge. When I visited, I saw some people swimming laps, and some people just chillin' inside it. There's also a wet and dry sauna in the pool area. The gym area is small, but the essentials are there, including ellipticals, treadmills, free weights and weight machines. Circling the gym is a walking track. Sixteen laps equals a mile, which gives you an idea of how small the track is. The center is pretty old and needs to be updated, but things are clean and the people who work here are welcoming and friendly. It's just what you'd want from a community YMCA.

I had come before and was originally bothered by the rules and political signs. After having gone to other gyms, I realized I didn't really mind their signs and rules. I've upgraded my review to reflect the quality, cleanliness, and equipment in the gym.

The weights are always back in its place unlike other gyms in the area. It kinda feels like your own personal gym when your there. I love it. It's an old school type of gym which I love also.

I'm updating my previous rating from 2 to 3 stars…read more I was really impressed that the owner, Ryan, contacted me via email/yelp to amend the situation I addressed in my previous review. He offered a month of training gratis, and I took him up on the offer. As for the experience, Force seems to be a great place to get a quick workout in. The staff are friendly, and knowledgeable. The actual 'work' done in a session ranges from 15-40 minutes. Warm up includes a bit of foam rolling, and some dynamic stretching exercises. The actual workout involves circuit-type functional training. I like that they incorporate explosive plyometric movements for people who are more fit, and yet find modifications for people who are just getting into fitness. Advantages: 1) No need to think. These people do the programming, you only need to show up 2) Matt (the trainer I had) was great about checking form and providing modifications to the suggested exercises. 3) I like the community. It is nice to see familiar faces at each workout... definitely helps in keeping me motivated. 4) Facility is clean, nice shower/changing rooms. 5) I like the fact that you choose particular days and times for classes in advance; it really helps keep you on track and accountable. Disadvantages: 1) I personally found the workouts to be too boring and easy (I don't think I ever woke up with a sore muscle after a workout). I come from a personal training background, and I'm used to spending more time at the gym. This program is likely ideal for a person of average fitness. Often after a workout at Force I head to the campus gym to get more cardio training and lifting in. 2) I find the location of this place to be less-than-ideal. This is just me. 3) Certain days of the week (namely days that involve isometric type exercises) are incredibly boring. (My friends have had similar complaints) 4) Pricing: this place is a bit expensive. Suggestions: 1) Perhaps have certain boot camp sessions cater to beginner or advanced levels of fitness. As it stands, there are too many people in a class with too many different issues to target. It is kind of a mess. 2) If you are already an athlete or experienced in training, I suggest you forgo the boot camp sessions, and try out personal training (this may be more rigorous and tailored) Summary: After this bootcamp, I will not be returning to Force (I may not even finish the boot camp that was offered). It is located on the outskirt of town, far from where I work/live, and the workouts aren't really working out for me. I know a lot of other people who love this place (secretaries, neighbors, friends, etc.) but it just isn't my thing.

The coaching is literally world-class, and you WILL get the results you're searching for (ask yourself, are you reaching them with what you're doing now?)! Personally, I lost 90lbs and gained a fabulous family/community along with an amazing education in fitness, nutrition and myself. This gym and it's various programs really are for all levels. The bootcamp is great and there is no one to blame if you don't get a great workout in but yourself. People in a more advanced athletic state are expected to do more advanced movements with heavier weights at faster speeds. Key Words: High performance athlete training, student (youth) athlete training, weight loss, high intensity interval training, personal training, group training, nutrition, Olympic Weightlifting, strength and conditioning, safety, Functional Movement Screen (FMS), mobility, MovNat, CrossFit, Brazilian Ju Jitsu, Precision Nutrition, Whole 9/30, paleo/primal, boot camp, mindfulness, play/sport, constant improvement, support, acceptance, open space. State of the art gym (and clean!) with the best group of coaches, trainers and administrators in the business. I could go on and on. I've been doing this fitness/weight loss thing a long, long time and this gym is the height of what you can get. I've had to move out of state, and there's nothing I mourn more than the loss of Force. Give it a chance.
