I was also put off that there didn't seem to be anyone there (not even any staff!). I took a lap around the facilities and left - Why? Because it looked like a death trap! Broken pieces of equipment leaning against the wall, no visible safety measures in place, and just overall looking run down. I'm pretty sure they spent more money on their website (which photos there made this place look like it was going to be resort level) than they did on the facilities.

They have gear for everyone, except the hardcore powerlifter (meaning no 100 lb plates, jack racks, platforms, bar jack for deadlift loading, competition bench, or chalk stand.) They DO have squat racks, Smith machines, flat and incline benches, a range of dumbbells up to 140 lbs, and an array of basic HammerStrength machines. The bonus for me is that they have FreeMotion machines, which are the bomb for plane-and-range-of-motion training. They've also got assorted tubing, medicine and stability balls, and Bosus. In case someone from DAC reads this, it would be super-cool if you could install a TRX rack or two. Approximately half the work-out space is devoted to cardio machines, and there's an upstairs where classes are held. I always thought DAC was great for families. It's located at Cox Park where the baseball and soccer fields are. So, it's convenient if the family is involved in those activities as well. However, they do not have a pool; nor do they have a sauna, steam or whirlpool. No big deal for me, but some people demand those things.

InsideOut is a cool gym. It's small and hidden, but I think members enjoy that about it…read more I visited once for a tour and another time on a guest pass to try out a TRX class. The gym was very clean, staff was welcoming, and you tell that folks really get to know each other. The TRX class was amazing! I think the instructor adjusted a bit for having a few newbies (which really pissed off one of the regulars. She groaned and complained for half the class... seriously) but that didn't mean it was easy. TRX classes are normally pretty pricey, so it's cool that members can attend these classes, along with yoga, spinning, rowing, and Zumba without paying additional fees. My cons are the size, weekend hours, and variety of classes. The gym is pretty small. I need a bit more room and maybe a sauna or pool. Also, the weekend hours are very condensed and I don't think I'm their target demographic with the classes offered. I'm more into HIIT, boot camp, and barre classes than spinning and rowing, which take up a big chunk of their class schedule. Classes must also be scheduled in person through sign up sheets and members can't register or cancel online. Overall, it's not for me, but I would recommend folks checking this place out. It's got a great central location and lots to offer if you're looking for a welcoming community.

I joined Inside Out about 3 weeks ago. As the other reviewer stated, they do have some awesome…read moreclasses!! When I signed up, I kind of knew what I was getting myself into. It's a small gym. A small gym means personal attention, people who know your name, accountability!!! It also means having to sign up for classes (which I don't mind, since it makes you accountable), and less equipment and space. When I signed up, I asked questions. I asked about busy times, I asked about slow times. I made sure that they would have equipment and space available to me when I needed it. I don't just sign up for gym memberships and not go...I have been at different hours on different days. I have never had a problem finding a piece of equipment to use. They have kettle bells, and machines, and medicine balls. They have small stretching rooms with foam rollers and ab rollers. I don't think there is anything that I lack in this gym. If you need a lot of space (for whatever reason), you would know that this is not the place for you when you walk in the door. BUT it's definitely bigger than you think it is. There are plenty of small rooms, and they will let you bring the weights into the small rooms if you would like :-) I think the most important thing you can take from this review...ask questions. Make sure you find the right gym for you!! Whatever that may be!

It's time now to share the wealth I'm posting this at night…read morewith stealth So you've all been waiting To see my Gym rating I'm giving 5 stars to Church Health If your church does not constantly demand donations, then your Church Health is probably good. If they are always asking for money, then either your Church Health is bad, or your Church Head is greedy. Or both. One of the better YMCA facilities I have found anywhere in the country with a shiny brand-new locker room and a lot of really shiny brand new things. They have cool combination lock concepts and it is actually very easy to use, and there are about 7,000 sets of instructions posted all over the locker room just in case you forget the very simple straightforward way of locking it up - as opposed to Louisville where they have lockers that basically just lock your stuff away and never give them back until you call the manager to come and let you in. Anyway I was happy that they had a cable machine even though it wasn't the best one. There is no chest exercise machine but they had a little bit of everything else and even though they're using a cheaper not-so-great company to provide the equipment it hardly ever gets used to it's all in very good working condition for the most part. The weights are the kind that I don't really like but at least nobody is hardly ever using them, and they're in front of the mirror and they have a few benches here so I'd say the gym has done pretty well for itself. I think it's a fantastic facility that just needs some more people to come and join to keep it going and justify all the good stuff they have here. One of the thing that it needs though is better parking. It's so hard to find parking out here, and then a long walk to the door and up the steps to get into the facility. Better to use the elevator if you're carrying a lot or not great at walking. It also has ridiculously friendly employees and I really appreciate that. They were extremely nice to me and I would definitely come back and use this particular YMCA in future especially considering that parking is free here if you can actually find it, whereas it's expensive downtown. Somewhere between 4 and 5, but I'll go with 5 because they're so nice and more people should be members.
