I feel like it is a good place to decompress, get in a good spinning or hot yoga class, feel energized, and to start the day off to a good start! The place is very clean, so beautiful, chic, and the instructors and staff are very friendly. Hit all the marks. A+

I was here working out this evening & right at 9pm (closing), the worker turned all of the lights…read moreoff with 2 customers still in the building, myself included. No mention of it being closing time, just lights off, time to go! On my way out, I asked him, "Do you have somewhere to be?" & that he "shouldn't turn the lights out with customers still inside." His response- "It's 9 o'clock." Which I responded, "Are you the owner?" & he responded "Yes." If this is the case, that the OWNER doesn't care about his customer's experience, I will for sure be taking my business elsewhere. I'm not sure where he was taught that his schedule getting out of work was more important than the paying customer's experience. As somebody who has worked in customer service my entire adult life (not to mention at this same gym 7 years ago), that's a foreign concept to me. As a manager or GM, if I found out my employees were putting themselves above the customers in this way, they'd be written up or let go. My advice? Do better. The BARE MINIMUM is you wait to close until everyone is gone. & if it gets to be 5-10mins after, you politely let the customers know you are closed & need to start closing. Customer Service 101, Day 1. If management, or (apparently) ownership encourages this type of customer service, it's no wonder places like Crunch Fitness & Victory Sports have taken what looks to be most of the business from East Coast.

It costs only $5 more per month and offers a variety of activities and (free) courses; take advantage of the pools, rock climbing walls, yoga sessions, basketball and volleyball courts etc. It has much more of a community feel to it, to boot. Plus, I think we can all agree on the fact that Hamilton Plaza -- for some reason or another -- has become a rather depressing spot nowadays...am I right, or am I right?

I cannot speak to the current condition of all the others, but the State College Y is easily in the best material condition of any Y in my life.

They just finished redoing the locker rooms, new everything as far as I can tell. The Therapy pool is a balmy 90F, which is great for a recent Miami transplant, and the lap pool is a not too shabby 80F.

The free weights, exercise balls, gym space, and other random equipment is both plentiful and good quality. The pool is indoors only and warmer than I like, but I'm in the minority in enjoying a cold-ish pool. The only thing lacking is a nice, separate free weights room, but that really isn't important to me. Oh, and did I mention that it has a rock climbing wall? Not too shabby!
