I've been an Express Fitness member for over a decade. A previously great gym, I have grown…read morefrustrated with how the parent gym, Executive, seems eager to find ways to nickle and dime members, advertise disingenuously, and how staff attention has waned. Many gyms seem to have a cost model of a sign-up fee plus monthly charge. At New Year, to entice potential customers, the start-up fee is often waived. However, Express is the only gym I know which has started to carry this supplemental forward year after year. When is a $29.99/monthly fee really a $34.16 monthly fee? When they tack a hidden $50 "maintenance fee" onto your account at yearly renewal time. It's slimy fake advertising. If you have issues with credit card numbers getting stolen, Express will want to charge you for that, too. The second time my billing card was compromised and account number changed, Express issued a $35 charge for a bounced $24.99 charge (monthly fee at the time) against a closed card. This fee was $10 more than the actual charge that bounced! Do you want to use the top row lockers so you're not hunched over using the bottom row lockers? Express will want to charge you a rental fee for that, too. The parent gym, Executive, actually locks all the top row lockers so you're forced to use the bottom ones. "Hunch over for health?" In fairness, they're not yet all locked in Hooksett. A friend left Express in 2016 when they instituted the "maintenance fee" and speaks quite highly of his Planet Fitness membership at half the price. Staff there is always out and about cleaning up and organizing equipment, a refreshing change from the mess that sometimes greets late day visitors at Express. (Express also has at least one slob member who trims his beard and leaves the trimmings around the sink which may sit there for hours. This has gone on for years.) There are some pluses. There is new equipment starting in 2018. There is free childcare with ample toys. Care quality varies by employee, however: sometimes there is interactive child engagement, sometimes a student is busy doing homework while the TV provides entertainment. Regardless, I am very happy Express has a nut-free policy. If you care about building functional full-body strength and balance, doing things like barbell squats and dead-lifts are a key training component you can do at Express. Planet Fitness is all about machines so you'd miss those there. I used to love Express, now I sound like crotchety old man describing it. I still go because it's the closest place I can lift heavy weights once or twice a week. I try to work around the class schedule, since many group exercise instructors blast class music so it's louder than the ambient music in the rest of the gym. My "light" days are now at home with a doorway pull-up bar, Bowflex adjustable dumbbells, and an incline bench. A few small fixes, and some integrity in the billing office, would be all it would take to make Express great again.

He really wanted to go,this year Again, he would have only had an hour and maybe 15 minutes to swim if that. I drove 45 minutes to get there. I called the day prior and the young man couldn't have been nicer. He assured me we were all set. I told the woman that I spoke to and that he wasn't sure how it worked as I had been one time last year. The one woman at the computer closest to us said she found me in the computer as I offered my license to see if she found the paperwork. The other woman with shorter, darker gray hair sitting closest to the windows or wall away from us. Said something to the effect that the child needed his parent or guardian to sign... I must have said he was my grandchild. I said, well, last year it was only he and I and I signed for him, I asked if I could call his Mom, she said no. She literally refused us , the little one could not swim. I get policies... yet I also get that and I told her I spoke to someone the previous day... We left, I was very angry, so angry that I said nothing and walked out, We got to the car and the little one tried so. hard to not cry, also he said he thought the YMCA was about children, community, doing healthy activities etc He said he is so hurt and sad that he never wants to go back there again. He was crushed. I had said I was undecided if I'd be joining or how I would as I could go where we live and where we vacation etc we were at the Goffstown pumpkin fest the prior year and the man who was the face of YMCA, there was so exuberant and caught the fancy of our little guy which is why he wanted to go last year and he met another young boy and they swam and did tricks with the pool noodles etc really enjoyed themselves. I also called on 2 occasions after being treated poorly imho and one time I got the director's vm as I had requested, I left a message and no phone number, I called back and they put me to another vm, not saying it again, called again same thing, I 'm fairly certain it was ms snarky who was telling the woman looking up our information what to do and put the kibosh on our swim visit...and also to not put me through to the director. My grandchild was sad, yet now we have a much better gym with so much more to offer and they have done all the pools over; they are salt water pools which is healthier and I prefer... YMCA is kinda dank imho , yet for the few times we'd go I was going to sacrifice and go... I hate chlorine, it's poison and goes through your skin... so much of it is used in a public pool. I was upset and even angry at the cold hag; yet should thank her... it was a first lesson for our little guy that some people are not nice at all. Who knows if we had another happy experience would I have joined... so now it's off the table... I'm not calling back to give my number as I do not wish to hear from them at all..
