We have been coming to Elite for about a year and a half now. First and most important in my…read moreopinion is the cleanliness of the gym and all the equipment. They really take care of things and it always looks bright and new. The equipment is top of the line. And there are plenty of free weights for everyone, no "lunk alarm" here! The employees are always friendly and helpful if needed. They have childcare which is something we must have or I wouldn't be able to work out. My kids love the care workers, and play room. On the weekend they can join a workout class with other kids their age and they love that as well. They have seperate mens/women's locker rooms with a shower if that is something you need. They also offer many work out classes throughout the day in addition to all the awesome weightlifting equipment. At the end of your workout, on occasion, you can grab a fresh piece of fruit. They are an amazing gym, and we are so happy to have found them. The people that go are friendly and I never feel out of place or unwelcomed. And it never feels so busy that you're constantly waiting for the equipment. Will snap pics next time I am there, but go check it out for yourself!

Horrible, classless owner that has an excuse for everything that's wrong in her gym. She is greedy…read moreand dishonest. If you sign up, watch for random charges on your account. If you need proof, just look the Google reviews and the responses she gives to anyone that is even slightly critical of her poor business practices.

CLUBWAKA Coed Adult Sports Leagues - Albuquerque

Updated after 5 years of playing in the kickball and dodgeball leagues. Overall, Clubwaka in Abq is…read morepretty clutch. I don't feel there is enough variety of activities for the young professionals in Albuquerque. That said, if you want to get away from the gym, work, life stress, and spend time making friends in a boozy fraternity like atmosphere then this is the right scene for you. It's a great forum for meeting lots of people (if in kickball, it's mostly for drinking and less athletic, with dodgeball it's inverse to that), with a range of interests including drinking, hooking up, and being somewhat athletic (aka glory days). Kickball is great for fun times and making you curse more in a game than you have in a year when your 'fun' team gets crushed by the competitive teams. Dodgeball is crazy competitive and exhilarating in its own way...but the drinks don't flow as much, at least til after the games. Both these leagues, plus the others, reward membership with a T-shirt and 2 open bars (mid and end season parties). Overall for $70 it's a great way to get away to college life again, just be sure to keep your day to day on the DL. No ones got time for your adulting.

Playing ball in this league definitely had its fun moments. However, the peer-based reffing system…read morelends itself to a pretty obvious bias toward inner-circle kickballers who have been around the league a while. If you're part of the "in crowd" calls get made in your favor, and if you're a newbie team or a less than "elite" team, there's really nothing you can do about it. It's also pretty obvious that the league's leadership wants to be well liked by the cool kids because they simply pretend like none of this is going on and any feedback or constructive criticism of the structure falls on deaf ears. Kickball is fun, don't get me wrong, but way too many people in this league think it's all there is to life. You'll find out quickly enough just how awesome their mad kickball skills are because they will let you know constantly...even in the rec/beginner league. If you're looking for a fun, relaxed way to play with people who like kickball, but have a life outside of it...I'd look elsewhere. After more than 5 seasons, I'll be looking for a new league to play in and so will my team. :)

I went in at 8am on a Sunday and the clerk was playing music on the speakers so loud that I…read morecouldn'tIi could barely hear my own music through my noise cancelling headphones. I asked the clerk politely to turn it down he didn't reply, acted like he turned it down but did nothing. I listen to heavy metal and even at 100% volume the gyms music was coming through clearer than my own music. Nearly 100% of the people at the gym were wearing headphones. Keep the music down. It's 2026 and everyone has their own headphones. Theres no need to have it blasting at peak volume. Be courteous of the members.

I just recently moved from AZ and had a LA Fitness membership. This location is really close to me…read more Half the main workout area is about 4 rows of cardio machines, maybe like 25% is a functional fitness area. The rest is machines along with a spot for a dumbbell area and there is a row of 4-5 smith machines. There is 1 leg press machine that you can use with free weights. I've never used the locker room, so I can't speak on that. Otherwise this place is fine, it's always been clean and I've only interacted with the front desk when checking in and it's been fine. This facility doesn't have everything I would want in a gym for my personal needs, but it will not stop me from coming here because it is so close and has always been clean. There is plenty of parking, but it could use an update on painting lines. As long as you know what equipment is at whatever workout facility you want to workout at either within PF or outside, it's on the consumer to make that decision of what they want to do. I'm taking down a star because the Internet has been spotty and laggy for me in there, I don't ever use public wifi. This is when I need to check my email or load up an app on my phone, it can take a while for it to load. With that all being said this facility is great.. if you choose to work out here, just be aware of what equipment is available.

I've been a member at Designer Bodies for over a year and I'm excited to see their membership build…read morea little. After moving here, my husband and I were set on finding a good gym for our lifting and after trying half a dozen we tried out Designer Bodies and knew it was perfect for what we needed. It's not as large as some gyms around here but the equipment is some of the best I've seen and the owners are always around. There are a few things that could improve, but hopefully as the membership grows some of those things will happen naturally. I would love if they were able to move all the cardio and yoga mat stuff into a separate back room, it would give more privacy to them and more space for lifting equipment (another squat rack!). Another thing would be if the music changed. Currently, it's a little on the mellow side and I prefer a gym with upbeat music playing over the grunts of everyone working out. I also would love if they had longer hours as my job prevents me from getting in before they close on some nights. But again, these are all small things that are not going to prevent you from having a killer workout. I love the vibe here. Some people, like myself, like to get in and get out, and you can do that here. You can also hang out, like others do, and everyone seems to be pretty friendly so that's cool too.
