    This location is like most other planet fitness locations, and I really like planet fitness due to…read morethe ease of going to anyone of them for a low price. In terms of the facility, it's a bit smaller than many other planet fitnesses I've been to. Perhaps if they just removed one or two machines per row there would be enough space. They do have every machine and most are in view of televisions on various channels. Music is louder than other ones I've been to. For the cardio, the elliptical machine in particular, are a bit unlevel. I often wiped sweat off my brow and the machine was teetering like a table at a restaurant that is unlevel. Maybe I just needed to crumple some napkins to put underneath :). Daily visits between 6-8am and weekends between 10am-12pm were only about 20 people or less.

    the gym itself is fine and I enjoyed going. I have a problem with businesses making it difficult to…read morecancel memberships. If there is not an easy way to do so on a web page or app, I am suspicious. I tried to call them to cancel over the phone, but they either want a certified letter (who does that???) or I have to come in and tell them to their face. That's not customer service, that is putting blocks in my path to do something I have a right to do and it should not be difficult. I might have been tempted to switch to a less costly membership, but because of the hoops the business forces me to take to end my membership, I don't want to to business with them. It kind of feels like trying to end a relationship with an alpha. FT!

    It must have been a bad week for Xcel fitness with me. Having just moved to the area i visited…read morethree Gyms. The first day i went to Xcel and a very pleasant woman showed me around and outlined the various plans. I liked the variety of machines and cardio equipment . While the locker room has a strange layout it didn't matter as i seldom use it. In her spiel and on the web site they pitch their Personal Training ability and how they guide you. So when i signed up i specifically asked how PT works. Well, actually they don't have PT themselves but instead they have independent contractors who work for them. In order to get PT i have to call one of their trainers and organize it myself. This seemed very odd but the woman then handed me two cards and suggested that i call them. Okay, i thought it odd but i took the cards. I then left and called both trainers and left messages with them...twice. 4 days later i still hadn't heard back from either of them. So, i went back to the gym in the morning. The gym was essentially empty so i asked the guy at the front desk if he could walk me through a simple circuit using the machines. He told me sure and that he would be right with me. I wanted to get started so i said i would start on Cardio and when he had a chance just come grab me....50 minutes later i was still on the treadmill and i had watched this guy walk by a few times and chat with friends and wipe down a few machines. Twice i waved at him and he gave me the "be there in a second wave." Finally i finished my cardio and went back to the desk and now he was gone. So I left. 3 days later and still no word from the trainers I went back in and talked to the front desk yet again. I explained the situation and pointed out that no trainer had called me back . The woman at the front desk asked who i called and i literally pulled the two cards sitting on the desk and showed her. She said looking at one card "Oh he doesn't work here anymore"...huh? them why is his card on the desk...That seemed to baffle her as .much as it did me. The other trainer "she hadn't seen for awhile" Huh? She said there was a trainer hanging out there she could call. To be honest I had had it . I explained that on my last trip I had tried to get help for 50 minutes and was ignored. She seemed uninterested. Finally, i decided i would just cancel my membership. Of course , having been a member for a week, and having no trainer call me and be given a card from a guy who didn't work there at all anymore and having been shuffled off by the front desk guy on the last trip she still would have to charge me 75 dollars to cancel. Seriously? To be honest i would have paid 100 to get out of this disorganized mess. Clearly, misinformation and false promises meant little to these folks so it seemed an expensive yet valuable lesson. I ended up joining Spa Athletic where the owner took me on a tour and had a personal trainer call me to set up an appointment an hour after joining. Like i said maybe it was just a bad few days at Xcel but i find it hard to believe that i'm the only one who experienced this. Again, its a nice workout space but thats all i could see going for it after my experience .
