Snap Fitness Canal Fulton…read more
Fast * Convenient * Affordable is the wall decal you are greeted with upon entering. What you may notice first is the cleanliness and order of the entire facility, something I see lacking in most gyms. Secondly, every piece of equipment is in EXCELLENT repair. I've been a member for nearly 18 months, and not once have I had anything break down or is out of service.
The Staff:
Courteous, friendly, knowledgeable and willing to help with questions from membership to proper use of machines and are fantastic personal trainers. That's another benefit: They offer not only personal trainers at an extremely fair price, but also various classes throughout the week. Information is always available up front or towards the back office on the bulletin board. Ken, the owner, is a great guy and exceptionally knowledgeable. He or any of the staff will be happy to set you up.
The Facility:
As I mentioned before, clean. Very clean. Equipment is in near-perfect if not perfect condition. Many pieces of equipment have multiple machines making it convenient even when the gym is a little crowded. The heaviest time is Mon-Fri 5-7PM but I think that goes for most gyms as many of us are just getting off work. The main room has most of the equipment: Smith Machine, preacher bench, chest presses, leg press, butterfly, treadmills, multiple benches, loads of free weights (also in perfect condition), ellipticals and tons more. The second room back and to the right, contains additional benches, mats, core and back machines, more weights, jump ropes, medicine balls and more. The third room has a door and is separated from the other two in order to allow privacy for classes. It can be accessed whenever a class is not in session. My girlfriend uses it to practice posing for her fitness competitions. As the walls are lined with large mirrors, it comes in handy for her.
Extremely relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. You're not going to see "huge" individuals tossing weights around and grunting like a grizzly bear. Let's face it, gyms can be intimidating places. I didn't have to worry about that here and that in itself was a blessing.
Parking:
Ample, both in the front as well as the back with entrances at both sides. Both doors are secure access only, so don't forget your key card! Since they share a plaza with a small Verizon and a large AutoZone, you may need to use the rear lot at times.
Bonuses:
Specialized classes for whatever you may be looking for. 24 hour key card access. Many health insurances cover the cost of your membership 100%. Even if it doesn't, the cost for an individual is around $40 after taxes and only $53 for a couple. I paid the standard couple fee for a year before my new health insurance covered my membership entirely. Flexible membership options that won't lock you into a long-term contract - huge perk.
In closing, Snap Fitness Canal Fulton is one of the best kept secrets in the area. Even after moving from Canal Fulton to Jackson Twp., we stayed with this gym because of all the amazing people and equipment. I highly recommend paying them a visit and checking it out for yourself.
