Up until about 2 months ago I really liked this gym, now I dread going.
It makes me sad because this is probably one of the best gyms in the area, for the best price, and biggest in size.
If you are planning on going at 3-5 pm, I suggest you switch up your workout routine. The place is swarming with college kids who all have to workout together and hover over one machine for an hour. If they're not hovering then they need the perfect lighting for their selfies and take up spots near the free weights to do so.
The gym can't control that it's busy, that's great for them that they're getting all this business, especially during these times. It's just annoying for those that want to be there to get a good workout in. I have left the gym early multiple times recently as there was 1. No room or 2. Just out of being annoyed with nothing being available.
A common problem has been people going back and forth using two machines at once.. you can't do that when the gym is packed!
If you do sign up early morning hours, or right before close I have found to work best. The hours are also very frustrating especially on the weekends, I wish they were open until at least 6 pm for those of us that work weekends as well.
I would switch over to somewhere else, but...... we don't really have options around here. Staff here is very friendly, and they are on top of all of their cleaning and enforcing people to wear masks.
In regards to personal trainers, this isn't directly linked to the gym I learned. They're third parties who utilize the gym, but their services are separate. I did not partake in any classes, my friend did, and it was a complete waste of money. Dave was her trainer and not once, not twice, but three times in less than a month she showed up for her sessions and he was no where to be found, to send a text later saying he forgot they were scheduled and he was busy..... On multiple instances very unprofessional. Just seems like he's there to flirt with the ladies. Would not recommend him, other trainers I have seen around seem great! read more
