| - I feel like this place has a mixture of upsides and downsides, and depending on what you're looking for in a gym this review may or may not be helpful. I'm writing this as somebody who essentially wants to go in and do compound lifts with good equipment in peace. That's permissible given their facility. I will caution that if you happen to have a schedule that aligns with their busy hours (tends to be weekday nights like most gyms) you may have a problem. Specifically with there only being one squat rack. Granted, it is a beautiful squat rack, but that along with an issue I'll address later may drive you away from this gym.
Like I said earlier, their biggest upside is that they have nice, well maintained equipment. I've never had a day where I went in and I didn't get to use something that I wanted to use because it was broken or being repaired. I've had that issue before with other gyms, and it's frustrating. This gym is also pretty small, so there are only two flat benches and two incline benches, along with a rather small dumbbell section that can get jammed up quickly if it's busy. There are all the machines you could need, but I have a nitpick about them not having a pec fly machine that also doubles as a rear delt fly machine.
Now on to what I don't like about this place, which is two fundamental things. The first, is that 1/3 of their space is gated off only to XGT (their CrossFit style classes) members. So if you want to go in and do more calisthenic work, you have to shell out for a premium membership. And it makes it hard to do squats or deadlifts, since you only have one rack available to you if you don't have that room available to you. The next big issue I have is with memberships. My experience is that when I initially signed up, I was an XGT member, but I didn't need the classes and wanted to change my membership. It took two billing cycles before they dropped it down to the most basic membership. The other reviews may give you a better idea of their membership practices, so if you're interested in signing up make sure you nail down the specifics with their sales rep. Protect yourself.
At the end of the day, it accomplishes what I need it to do for the time being, and there are probably worse options you could pursue. Just make sure it fits with your goals before you commit, and try to avoid the shady stuff they may pull with memberships.
