I read some reviews and they pretty much have defined/evaluated this club by its age and that equipment is older and needs more maintenance. Yes, this is true it is older and there are more repairs than newer stuff. AND, from my experience in the past 5 years, the amazing value of this particular gym is it being the community it is for me. I don't know about other gyms but this one is a most wonderfully warm group of members AND staff. I have learned, that in any situation (after my attitude), it always always thge people that make it what it is. At this club it's most everyone's (members and staff) friendliness and willingness to be a support. This is what it's about. But, this is not to say that the equipments' condition is not important. It is. I can say that they keep it up really well (the guy who makes repairs is on it...I always see his focus and that nothing stays down for very long). It's not perfect but who and what ever is? So, I would recommend you consider checking this gym out. Go right to the manager Nathan and you'll see how welcome you really are. He shows it. That's my two cents. Paul
