when I wrote the original review things were pretty good. now they are not. I have been a member here for about 4 years and have noticed
many cardio machines don't work properly, many ellipticals have upper body units that flash 'replace battery'. and the 'motion' on some units is 'clunky' and indicates proper servicing has not been done.
meanwhile they did a renovation to add another area for classes. I don't understand how they have money for a renovation but not to fix/replace machines that don't function properly.
another thing they did recently was jack up the rates for existing members. most gyms respect and reward their longtime members by keeping them at a reduced rate. recently ownership decided EVERYONE will pay the same rates, which resulted in my rates going up 50%!!! (I think its reasonable to increase rates over time but not this much all at once)
since they recently ran new years promos for new member this means that I am paying MORE THAN someone who just walked in the door!!
this place stopped giving guest passes about 3 years ago (if I have a friend who is visiting who wants to work out with me its not allowed - unless they pay 10 bucks). MONEY GRAB!
recently they cleaned and repainted the ceilings in the shower area. I found out that there was a health complaint before they did this. (this isnt' heresy - if you ask the town you can see it)
in the steam room there is rust visible on grout and basically anywhere there is metal. its unsightly. and makes me think I need to make sure my tetanus vacc is up to date!!
