| - Update: I am no longer going to this gym due to location change. Based on the age of my review, it is possible and likely that machines have changed. So you should check those out in person to verify. With any luck, this location has added 1 or 2 more drinking fountains. As well as hopefully they added quality rowing machines.
I have been going to 24 hour Fitness and this gym, overlapping, for 6 months now. I am torn between giving it 3 or 4 stars.
I really like the staff. I also like how there is a great amount of room around much of the machines and weights.
I like the bathrooms, while a little on the small side, they are nice, well lit, and clean. Music here is greatly varied compared to 24 hour Fitness. Sometimes I like it and sometimes I don't. Bring your own.
The trainers here are also great. I have used trainers at both Blast Fitness and 24 hour Fitness. I must admit that I have enjoyed the workouts more at this gym.
Now for the reasons I didn't give it 5 stars.
No rowing machines. Big oversight for a gym this size. They have treadmills and ellipticals with built in TVs, but not one rowing machine. They really need two Concept 2 Model D machines in there. At least one!
Only 1 drinking fountain location. It's close to the cardio, but really far from the free weights. They really need to add a drinking fountain back there to service the cable machines, free weights, and group-X "class" area.
Weight plates, and this may sound silly. They are way too thin and squared off. Trying to use the 45 Lbs plates for lunges is painful on the hands. I much prefer the rounded and comfortable plates at 24 hour Fitness.
Only one back extension angled seat. Not talking about a cable or plate based machine. This is the angled bar with pads that you basically stand in and lean forward and back up to work your back with your body weight. They only have 1 in the common area and it's currently wobbling.
No machines for calves or shins. Not the biggest issue. But I miss these. By machines, I mean the leverage plate based machines. Not the stack based machines.
Dumbbells, very low on my list of complaints. The lower weights, 15 Lbs and under, are smaller circles, instead of thinner. So I ended up really smashing my finger when racking the weight as the bar directly hits the lip of the rack instead of having a gap. This is due to the plates have a smaller radius instead of being thinner. They should either get a different rack setup for the smaller weights, or getting ones that have thinner plates that are the same size to maintain the gap between the bar and rack. Just something to watch out for when racking these dumbbells.
Again, biggest complaints are no rowing machines and only 1 drinking area.
