    The correct corporate information for this place (from Illinois Secretary of State website) is:…read moreERWIN'S GYM, BALLROOM & BANQUET CENTER, INC., 2302 W JOHN ST CHAMPAIGN IL 61821-6835. To get a sense of what Refinery is like, check out reviews for his apartment company: https://www.yelp.com/biz/campus-property-management-champaign-9?osq=cpm+apartments&override_cta=Request+information I called 4/16 and spoke to Bailey. I was interested in student plan $40 initiation fee, $35/mo. I visited 4/17 and dealt with the woman at the counter. I repeatedly told her that I wanted the $40/$35 student plan. She handed me a contract for a 12 month plan, which I did not want. After going in circles with her for a bit of time, she took my credit card and fiddled with her computer. Then she handed me paperwork showing completely incorrect charges. I asked her to reverse them and fix the problem. Eventually, she gave up and got her manager, Tony, involved. Tony worked on the computer for a bit and at one point, I had several pending $64 charges on my card. Then he seemed to have the problem under control and he charged my card $40 and $18.72. Since $18.72 is more than 1/2 of $35, that charge didn't make any sense for half a month. I called Tony on 4/17 and told him that I had several authorizations on my card still. I asked if we could just forget it all and cancel the membership and refund everything, including the $40 and $18.72. He said no problem, and I emailed him a copy of the credit card bill showing the current state of it. On 4/18, two charges moved from authorization to posted - $40 and $18.72. I emailed a copy of the statement to Tony and requested that he refund the charges, as we had both agreed. It's now nearly two weeks later and I still have charges on my card. I have filed complaints with BBB and Illinois Attorney General. If they don't come to their senses soon, I'll file a lawsuit in small claims court. Having all these authorizations on my card made it impossible for me to shop for groceries for three days. I wish businesses were much more careful with charges that they post to customer cards. Accidental charges aren't just frustrating to see and resolve, they can have unanticipated consequences for cardholders. For more information on management personnel and their names, check the BBB listing for Refinery. DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS GYM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE

    Most negative part is the cancellation policy. My wife cancels a few days into the current month…read moreand she owes for that month (which is fine), but for the next month too? Not cool (this after cancelling all Zumba classes with little to no notice). When I handed in my form to cancel at the beginning of 2020, we were still charged for months afterwards. They eventually honored it, but only after having to get on them numerous times. Equipment selection is good, but definitely dated (Mandelbaum from Seinfeld would feel at home). The classes are not given in dedicated rooms, but instead are given upstairs in an area that is alternatively used for events like weddings. It's a little odd. They started getting cheap by not turning on the AC for the wife's zumba class (claiming the AC was broken). I hate franchised gyms like Planet Fitness, so this placed looked promising in comparison. Ultimately, it disappointed.

    Finding myself back in Terre Haure for the month of June 2019 to visit my folks, I am brightened to…read moreknow that Kelsey and her sister are still here in this community serving the public one long powerful downward facing dog at a time. Actually, I have come to discover that Common Ground Crossfit & Yoga are celebrating four years of being in business this week. So not only grateful for the random occasion summer weeks that I show up from time to time, Kelsey has posted an honorary wall thanking and commending members that have come for 100+ classes, 200+ classes, 300+ classes....there is even a member that has come for 600+ classes. If my humble Yelp reviews are not enough to sway you to come in and check it out, if such a committed base of clientele coming with such regularity is not a silent shout & high five speaking to the quality of Kelsey and her instructors, I don't know what is. As I said in my initial review almost two years ago, I do not attend Crossfit, so I cannot speak to that portion of the facility and Kelsey's sister who runs it (who kind of seems like a fun, cool bad-ass by the way...as I see her as I enter and slink off to the right side of the studio to attend yoga...those people over there are always working hard!). So being in 100% agreement with what I said on my prior review and also wanting to simply commend Common Ground for their 4 years of business, I would like to stress how I have enjoyed being the occasional client. I live full time in Las Vegas, but have really enjoyed having this option available to me when I am in Terre Haute. Through the MINDBODY app, it is easy to look at their schedule and book classes. Through their website, it is easy to book a 10 pack package to use while I am here. If I lived here, this would be the place I would practice full time. I think what I like most about Common Ground Yoga, as devout yogi of many years, is that Kelsey and her instructors are welcoming of everyone. Classes are not broken up into Level 1, Level 2 or advanced so much (although one of these might pop up from time to time). All classes can accommodate all levels, regardless if you are a devout yogi like me or a newbie. I find this kind of rare in a studio really. I am use to the devision of skills and here the motto is "all are welcome" and it works. I think all attendees to a class (including someone experienced like me), have something to be gained by simply the shared experience of a class that is authentic, connected, rooted and honest. And as Kelsey or another of the instructors as your guide, you can trust that you are being led in a good direction to understand the founding principles of a yoga practice that can stick with you for your first visit as a newbie to 100+, 200+, 300+ or maybe even 600+ visits. Congrats to Kelsey & Common Ground for their 4 years of business.

    Common Ground is a gem in Terre Haute! I had been looking for a new yoga studio since coming to…read moreTerre Haute for graduate school. There isn't much to offer in town, but this place has kept me sane. All the teachers are amazing. Never once left a class feeling anything less but happy, rejuvenated, and relaxed no matter what time of day. Would recommend to any and all yogis. Whether new to the area or just passing through.

OTF Champaign is absolutely not poorly run! Check it out for yourself (the first class is free) and you'll find a well-managed facility with welcoming staff where you are guaranteed to get an intense, carefully-planned workout. I have been an OTF member for several months and my experience has been perfect! I can also attest that the gym is quite popular. If it sucked so bad the 5am, 6am, and after-work classes would not be in such high demand. OTF Champaign is popular because the workouts are awesome, the coaches and staff are great, their class times are frequent and convenient, and the facility is clean and well-managed. As a 39-year-old woman who took a loooong hiatus from the gym during Covid, OTF in Champaign has motivated me to hit the gym again and I am seeing excellent results. Don't listen to the haters. OTF Champaign is a great gym!

Best of all, though, are the coaches and staff. These are some of the most dedicated, upbeat, and encouraging people you will ever meet.

Going to a workout at OTF Champaign is always a bright spot in my day. So grateful for the team there!
