I've been a member here for 2 years, simply because I live within walking distance and I do like a low-impact workout on an elliptical trainer now and then. Also, the fact that there's a steam-room...

This gym is depressing. Do NOT bother going here. You should go to the newer, nicer, cleaner, bigger one in Alhambra which is 15 minutes away (25 if there is traffic). 1. Its small and old. You will...

Only reason why I would give 2 stars instead of 1 is that the gym itself is not too bad. If you never have to deal with the staff here, it could be a decent gym to go to. It's much less of a meat...

Here is why I do not like this place: The trainers keep pushing you and trying to sell you effing sessions all the time. They are hungry salesmen sharks who don't have any business and try to get up...

One drawback to spending thirty-odd years treating the consumption of hard-alcohol as a full-time occupation is the toll it takes on the body. Many things can happen, but the end-result is always the...

Overcrowded meat market atmosphere. It's hard to find a parking space sometimes and it does get hot and stuffy in there. I'll have to find somewhere else to workout.
