5.0 of 5 stars. When I was hemming and hawing over getting a membership purely for swimming, it was such a bummer to see no mention in any reviews about the pool in these gyms. In fact, the only reviewer who made any...

4.0 of 5 stars. Let's be honest. I hate gyms. Always have. I feel uncomfortable, inadequate, and nervous in them. I used to think that gyms were a meat market and a place for pretty people to flex in front of a...

waste of time, waste of money

I have been a member of at least 6 fitness clubs in the last 20 years. This is by far the worst. They have been unable to keep their equipment working for more than a week straight, and it often stays unrepaired for multiple weeks on end. Their elliptical equipment is outdated. They truly couldn't care if you were a customer or not unless, of course, you use one of their personal trainers. If you read the internet, you don't need these trainers to tell you anything you couldn't learn yourself. The cardiovascular machines are very overcrowded. The fitness classes and weight machines are just as bad. They never restock any of the paper towel machines so that you can clean your own machine. Which I highly recommend, since I've never seen a staff member clean a machine. DO NOT JOIN THIS GYM. YOU WILL WASTE YOUR JOINING FEE AND THE 60 DAYS UNTIL CANCELLATION FEE AS WELL.
