I'm a month in to my membership at PD and I'm super happy with everything so far. Rates are great, the place is clean and maintained, and the staff are courteous and responsive. I have not tried any of the programming out yet, because it does not align with my personal schedule, but at the price for membership I was a bit surprised they even had programming.
I paid for the black membership, which allows me to bring a friend and attend the "spa". I would note that friends can't join you in the spa, but they've been flexible to allow new friends try it out to see if they'd like it.
They advertise it as a "no judgment zone" and I'll be honest apprehension about starting my fitness journey and how I look held me back from joining for some time. I really should not have. No one's given me a second look and actually everyone's pretty nice.
My only thing I would flag is that they sometimes run out of paper towel and need to just change it faster but to be fair this is because attendees do an excellent job of cleaning off equipment so it's out because it's being used and if you flag it staff change it immediately.
I considered 5 stars but I'm just being reasonable in that some bells and whistles from gyms that cost 4x as much is not here, but I see zero reason to pay the premium those gyms want. I'm satisfied and if I need a sauna I'll go to a sauna rather than paying an extra $100 a month to go to one at another gym. read more
