| - Now that it's been several months that I've been back, I feel I can give a review. I had stopped going for several years, and went to a couple of different gyms. What's funny if they were only willing to work with me, I'd still be giving my money to them. Now that I've been back at Freestone for a time, they could offer me half of what I'm paying here and I'd turn them down. Here's a list why:
1) Giving my money to the Town, not to a private business.
2) Updated, clean equipment. Not as big as major gyms, but this does not bother me.
3) Running track! Yes, it's 1/12 of a mile, but it's a indoor track so you don't have to be on the treadmill all the time.
4) Rock wall. Since my kids are too old for the child care now, they can do other things while I run and workout. Or they can run with me! There is also basketball, table tennis, racquetball, pool... unfortunately not a swim pool. That's not enough for me to take a star away.
5) Friendly atmosphere. The staff don't have a holier than thou attitude like other gyms. They will talk to you like you've known them for years.
6) They have recycling bins set up all over the place. People exercising use a lot of plastic bottles, ya know.
7) Payment options. You can pay for one day. Or a month, or 6, or even a year. YOU get to make the choice, there are no sales pitches.
I don't take classes, so I am not sure what their offerings are in that category. Overall, it's just a very comfortable place, with no pressure. You can go alone or make it a family day too. If you live in Gilbert, I highly HIGHLY recommend you take advantage of Freestone. You get your money's worth two-fold.
