I wanted to wait a little before writing this review. I signed up a few weeks ago and this gym…read moreprovides incredible value for what you pay. It has major equipment one would need to reach their fitness goals. Huge value in a low cost: I've been a member of many of the larger gyms where you pay skyrocket prices, however I just don't need all of the extra services that those gyms offer, especially at the rates being offered. At this gym I use the free weights, boxing bags, battle ropes, pull up rope, core station, open mat area, basketball net, cardio equipment, showers, and sauna. It's an incredible value as I've found it to be under $40/month, and sometimes less if you pay for the year upfront or utilize their ongoing deals. 24 hour availability: A huge benefit is it being available 24 hours. I find this to be a peace of mind as I occasionally will need after hour access due to my limited schedule during the day. This is almost unheard at many other smaller gyms and at this rate. Quick facts: -Towels are provided (but can run out quickly during busy times), it may be a good idea to pack one as a backup just in case -Yoga mats are available for usage outside of class times -The basketball net is probably not for more serious players as the roof is low and some angles require a low shot or you'll hit the beams of the roof. Probably meant for just casual shooting around. -bring your own locks, the lockers don't have their own locks. -there are short and long lockers available, the long lockers are big enough to fit your gym bag most of the time -saunas are in each locker room, so no mixed gender saunas (a plus for those with religious sensitivities)

One of my favorite gyms in the area! For only $50 a month, you get a 24/7 gym stocked with all the…read moreequipment you need (sled, barbells, dumbbells, cardio equipment, foam rollers, etc.) as well as a sauna. Never too busy so you are always able to get your workout done. I really think this is a great value.

I'm not a member at Life Time but I've been lucky enough to be a guest here a few times. I've…read morelifted here and most recently, took a vinyasa yoga class. The facility is massive -- it almost feels like a mall. There's a cafe, indoor pool, plenty of fitness areas, and spacious locker rooms. Everything felt very clean here which is a plus. The Sunday 10:45am vinyasa class was advertised as "medium heat" but it barely felt heated. The instructor wasn't my favorite and the flow felt clunky and disorganized. Her queueing wasn't very clear and if I were a newbie yogi, I'd be pretty confused. Most of the class was spent in child's pose or savasana and I would've preferred more time to flow and play. The studio itself is fairly small for the size of the rest of the gym. As a guest recently, I had to download the app in order to get my guest pass which was pretty annoying. I've never seen another gym do that and didn't appreciate the extra hoops to jump through. Overall, if this gym was closer and less expensive I'd consider it but for now, I appreciate the chance to be a guest here.

I went to this gym from 2023 - 2025 and finally canceled my membership in December. The staff are…read moreincredibly nice, honestly they are the best. But the crazy expensive cost is not worth it. It feels like all the money goes to extras like the sitting areas, pickleball courts, classes that cost additional money, etc. The only gym area is the second floor, and even that is taken up by classes. Machines are often broken and dirty, kids are CONSTANTLY running around unsupervised and playing on the equipment, and the gym etiquette has taken a severe hit. You see people filming, reading up multiple machines, sitting for an hour while scrolling, and not putting things back. I had to change my workout so many times because the free weights were missing entire bands of weights. Again, the staff is incredibly kind and nice. But the gym does not deserve the almost $200 a month price point. I would pay $40.

As a Black Card member, I like to bounce around and check out different Planet Fitness locations. I…read morevisited the Columbia gym for the first time this morning during my normal gym time. It has your typical PF layout and all the machines I wanted to use were working. One big plus was that it wasn't too crowded, which is always nice. They had plenty of spray and towels available, and I did see people actively wiping down their machines after use. However, a few things missed the mark for me. The equipment is a bit dated, the ellipticals I was using seemed like much older models, so it doesn't look like they've updated this location recently. Also, while everything in the bathroom area was working, the floors and shower tiles could have been a lot cleaner, especially considering it was still early in the morning. They might need to strip those shower tiles or do a deeper clean. Overall, it's an okay spot, but nothing really stood out to me. Because of the dated equipment and the locker room cleanliness, it wouldn't be my first choice. I don't think I'd make a special trip to go back to this particular location over others in the area.

All the night shift staff are wonderful! they put pride and joy into keeping the gym very clean! i…read morealmost doesn't even smell like a gym that's how spotless it is! my only thing keeping it at 4 stars is the lack of equipment. i wish there was most variety like pasadena has. example, for the glutes and legs.

My favorite out of all the Columbia Association gyms due to…read morethe variety of equipments, extensive weight lifting space in the basement and long hours, they are open from 4AM to Midnight daily. Staff is friendly, facility is clean. One frustration is sometimes being abruptly asked to leave a room due to an upcoming class, outside of this love love love this gym. They offer lots of classes, have cleaning wipes and sanitizing sprays for members yo use. They have trainers who offer personal training and also run the classes.

Hey friends! I'm on the hunt for a new gym. Im looking for proximity, amenities and foot traffic…read morelevels. I used their free day pass. First of all, the facility is HUGE. It features a pool & hot tub, pickleball/racquetball/tennis courts, a group fitness room, sauna, a track for walking and TWO levels of fitness equipment. I went on a Tuesday around 11am and it was pretty quiet. I loved that the crowd is mixed age, gender and race. The facility was very clean. I love that there are multiple sanitizer stations as well as clean towels and sanitizer spray available to use. The top level of fitness equipment was more so cardio and a personal training room. Downstairs you can find two sets of free weights, pull up bars, smith machines and so much more. They have a wide range of equipment which I love so there is less of a chance of wait times for equipment. Locker rooms are stocked with complimentary towels and hair dryers. The pool was decent size with about 5 lanes. The hot tub is a great size to space out in. My only distaste is that the locker room and pool are on different levels. The walk to the pool is a little far from the locker room. You have to go down a long hallway and down TWO flights of steps. I can foresee this being annoying especially on leg day lol. I hope you enjoy!

I love this gym. Small but has everything you need! Great atmosphere and it's 24/7 access which is…read moregreat. The room that they host classes in you're free to work out in when no classes are being hosted! It is often times empty so it's nice if you want mirror space and to be away from the other people working out in the main room. Pricing is more than fair and there's always clean bathrooms and fully stocked wipes and cleaning spray to clean your machines. I was going to the Columbia Golds Gym previously until it shut down during COVID and this one while smaller is just as high quality. Bathrooms are always really clean, and the staff is nice. I really love working out here and I highly recommend!

I started my membership here around New Years, prior to the Covid outbreak…read more Today I made my first trip back to the gym since it's reopened and I really couldn't be more disappointed. 1. Machines weren't spaced out at all to a lot for social distancing. 2. An employee checked my temperature at the door and went over the rules with me, but then proceeded to work out himself with no one monitoring the entrance. Nobody was going around cleaning machines -- it was complete honor system. Once the employee finished his work out, he left and nobody was watching the gym at all. 3. They couldn't even be bothered to add more wipe stations so that you don't have to walk half way across the gym to get and throw out a hand wipe. No new wipe stations, no new garbage cans to dispose of them. This encourages you to walk past other gym members. 4. Since nobody was enforcing masks, people regularly had them off. The employee told me you can have it off when lifting or doing cardio, but people were forgetting to put them back on and their cramped layout and lack of wipe stations/disposal bins encouraged people to get close to one another. 5. No signs on the walls about masks, no markers on the floor. 6. While on a cardio machine, I had a guy like 4 feet away from me on an adjacent machine not wearing a mask because he was working out. 7. When I came in, they told me that they purchased hand sanitizer. They pretty much bought 3 big push bottles of hand sanitizer, but they couldn't even be bothered to space them out on opposite sides of the gym. 2 of the 3 were on the counter at the entryway and the other one was by the Cardio equipment -- again ensuring that you have to walk past people to sanitize your hands. The only things that they've done that are positive: They closed the locker rooms with the exception of being able to use the bathrooms and told guests not to use the water fountains. They had the employee check my temperature, but since he was off working out himself it was easy for people to sneak by (also since he left early). I called the mainline from the parking lot and expressed my concerns and the guy on the phone was nice enough and told me that if I didn't feel safe I could suspend my membership for 6 months, which he said that he would do for me. He told me that they were going to get signs and filters etc next week. But, truth be told, that just made me angry because they obviously weren't ready to reopen and did anyway. I can't believe this was the best they could come up with after having 3 months to think about how to safely reopen. I told them that I would monitor their Facebook page and may come back when they've made positive changes, but upon thinking about it more, it really angered me how lightly they are taking customer safety. With about $500 they could have gone from 1 out of 10 in terms of Covid safety to at least a 4-10. It's either laziness, incompetence or apathy. I intend on looking for a new gym this weekend that's taking proper safety measures.

Top Tier easily accommodates a class of 20 athletes, all properly distanced six feet apart, with plenty of equipment for everyone. The Coach leads Athletes through a targeted warm up (specific to the goals of training that day), strength workout (e.g. deadlift/squat/clean/snatch/etc.), and then an intense CrossFit style workout of the day. After all Athletes finish, the Coach leads them in cleaning/sanitizing all equipment and putting it away, followed by a targeted cool down. Since COVID-19 hit, many of my friends, colleagues, and peers were worried about reentering a gym for fear of catching the virus or lack of cleanliness, but the Top Tier staff is working hard to ensure the safety of all Athletes who want to improve themselves.

The space is huge, clean, and beautiful with a lot of people who look like they know what they are doing, hence my intimidation. As I started my class, I became a lot more comfortable, the staff is very nice and knowledgeable. I am very excited on returning and looking forward to the new challenges. Would defined recommend for all activity levels.
