    Ok, so I used to go to YMCA to work out, but they closed down. Then I went to The Complex for maybe…read more2 months. It was filthy, limited equipment and well, no gym etiquette. On to Big Curve Fitness. Lots of clean, well maintained equipment. The members are mostly Marines, because it's owned by a Marine. People are courteous, but keep to themselves. They maintain great gym etiquette. They are open 24 hours also. Great music is playing. I feel I am getting healthier because the environment is healthy and motivating.

    When I moved to Yuma a few months ago, my first task was to find a gym I could sign with. Big Curve…read morecaught my eye because of its proximity to my apartment, but also because it was family and veteran-owned and operated. On my first visit, I was offered a tour of the 10,000+ square-foot space and introduced to the staff. I liked the gym immediately as it had everything I could ever want: cardio equipment, strength equipment, free weights, a deadlift mat, core training, resistance bands, you name it! Being that my fiancée and I work in healthcare, the staff discounted our monthly rate. There were no gimmicks like sign-on fees, annual fees, or any of that nonsense. The monthly payments began, and so did my gym patronage. This gym is available 24/7. Members are given scan-cards that unlock the side entrance (next to Las Palapas). It takes some getting used to, and you might find yourself standing awkwardly outside from time to time trying to open the door, but you get the hang of it. The main room contains all the cardio equipment plus a lounge area to relax. If you're lucky, the owners' dog, Teddy, might come up to say hello to you. In the adjoining weight room, you will find all the strength equipment you need, from dumbells to barbells, hex bars to pull-up bars, dip stations to squat racks, and so forth. There's plenty of space, and they provide sanitation stations to keep the equipment clean. There are no locker rooms (this used to be a furniture warehouse), but there are two bathrooms and a filtered water station. I have had the pleasure of working out at Big Curve since November. It's nice getting to see the same people every day, sharing the equipment, and crushing PRs. I couldn't have asked for a better gym community since moving out here. So, if you're new to the area and looking to patronize a small business, look no further than Big Curve Fitness. You won't find a better place in Yuma to work out!
